HUAWEI FreeArc global launch announced for February 18

The HUAWEI FreeArc is making its global launch for February 18. This is a huge day for the company as it’s also when the HUAWEI Mate XT will be officially unveiled.

Going back though, the FreeArc is a pair of over-ear TWS earphones designed for sports enthusiasts. The company announced this offering via an X post which featured a short teaser.

The teaser showed earphones made for a snug fit on all ears with an IP57 rating for dust and water resistance. This should make it valuable for outdoor activities and/or workouts.

From what netizens could gather, the offering features an earbud connected to a rubber strap wrapping around the ear. It also adopts a C-like structure similar to the FreeClip.

The buds are also said to be light, featuring a 17 x 12mm driver for bass. These are also slated to offer up to 28 hours of battery life on a single charge. Charging-wise, 10 minutes of being plugged in the case should get users 3 hours of playback.

The HUAWEI FreeArc is already available for pre-orders in Japan via crowdfunding, which is notable. It suggests that the company is making efforts to appear approachable to tech consumers loyal to their brand.

It’s currently priced at JPY 18,800 (~PHP 7,000), but we’ll have to wait until the launch event if this holds true. Listings online also indicate that colors available will be in Green, Black, and White.
