As expected, the Huawei FreeBuds 7i do not support Google Fast Pair, but they do support Swift Pair, and new FreeBuds are immediately recognised by Huawei smartphones. However, conventional pairing is also possible without any problems, which is possible with all Bluetooth-enabled devices, whether Android, iOS, macOS, Linux or Windows. Thanks to multipoint Bluetooth, two devices can also be connected at the same time.

Huawei’s in-ear headphones are controlled via a touch-sensitive surface. This can distinguish between double and triple taps, press and hold, and swipes. This works really well in everyday use and can be customised to your own needs in the options. In addition, simplified head control is available.
