- Huawei Forearc is here, with protection of dust and water inenuations IP57 IP57
- It is Huawei’s second open ear option after FreeClip, but the firm’s first ‘shell’ design
- They are affordable, and there is an additional savings if you buy now
My main problem when considering the open ear headphones? Actually, there are two things: something that will survive a particularly sweaty/soaked rain attempt to improve my best personal (abysmal) staff of 5k, and something that will not fall from my ear during the aforementioned attempt.
Although the new Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 certainly claimed to have ordered the latter during its announced arrival announcement of February 11, its IPX4 qualification will not necessarily address the first. Ah, and they come to $ 249 / £ 249 / au $ 399. You want something that costs only £ 99 – or £ 75 if it acts fast, and offers IP57 protection, which means that it could actually leave one in the pool, leave it languishing In a meter of water for up to 30 minutes and still wait for music after you. Have I fish it? Meet Huawei Forearc.
Open headphones are large in 2025, and this set will not break (the bank)
Are the Huawei Forearc some of the best open ear headphones I have seen? Well, I have not yet had the opportunity to try them completely, but on paper there is much to celebrate, especially for this money.
The opening ear category centered on sports is growing incredibly quickly, and predict that Huawei has done well to assess them so competitively. According to Huawei, a company that has seven specific audio R&D facilities (one with a wind tunnel laboratory capable of serving winds of 10 meters per second for microphone tests) more than 1,000 audio engineers with more audio engineers with more Of 150 phds, among them, the headphones are open are the fastest growing product in the audio industry, with a growth rate of 600% year after year.
This is the second stab of the Chinese technology specialist in the open ear, after the freezer -type freeclip of December 2023. But this is the first time that Huawei tries a design similar to the shell that slides on the outer ear so that the drivers slide near Your auditory channel, but not cover it, think of Shokz Openfit Air or Oladance. Huawei tells me that their engineers worked exceptionally hard in the new “optimal triangle design of 140 degrees”, which combines a delicate gravitational balance and data of more than 10,000 atria curves, in something that Huawei is calling a “Bridge C ” That ‘C’ essentially amounts to 8.3 g of liquid silicone rubber that covers a 0.7 mm titanium nickel cable, with a high sensitivity control unit of 17 x 12 mm at one end and a battery in the other (behind of the ear).
Leave your phone on your gym locker
Another great point of sale for me is the double antenna design for stability in long ranges. Although it only obtains the SBC codec and AAC support from the Bluetooth 5.2 chipset (so there are no higher resolution codec such as LDAC or APTX). Track, or in the gym box. And that is a great advantage if, like me, he prefers not to load his smartphone during training.
There is also an AI algorithm for dual microphones, to help eliminate the wind and ambient noise during calls, and battery life is a highly competitive seven hours or 28 with the case. I mentioned that they also support the sliding tactile gestures in the ear for the volume?
The Huawei Forearc is available to pre-order from today (February 18) in its choice of black, gray or green. Ultimately, they will have a price of £ 99.99, but will pre-order now and get £ 25 discount until March 3, only in a Huawei store. The full product line will be officially launched on March 4, with an £ 20 discount supply once they reach the shelves, until April 1. I am still waiting for the official prices of the United States and Australia where they are available, but I have to say, predict great success at those prices …
