In Huawei spring flagship new conference, the new flagship P60 series, Mate X3 folding screen flagship and many other products officially meet with us, also attracted attention to the new Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ wireless headphones that support heart rate body temperature dual measurement. What is the experience of this headset, and how powerful is the sports health function? Today we will talk about this headset.


Design: more fashionable than simple

Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ packaging overall is still familiar Huawei style, the combination of white background and gold lettering, the front were printed with Huawei and Tivares logo, Huawei product name, rendering, HWA / Hi-Res Audio Wireless double gold standard certification; the middle of the package headphones, you can see that in terms of color scheme, Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 + The new feather sand white color scheme is used.


Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ new Feather Sand White color scheme, to my most intuitive feeling is warm and delicate, clean and flawless, the charging box still follows the pebble shape, soft touch, feel very comfortable in the hand, the nameplate is also printed with "HUAWEI" and " The name plate is also printed with "HUAWEI" and "DEVIALET" logos.


Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ ear handles continue the classic, using a very recognizable elegant "keys" shape, simple and elegant, in the edge of the headset parts, the use of the product's exclusive laser engraving process, to create a gilt-like visual effect, making the product on the basis of simplicity both fashionable and noble connotations, more recognizable.


The same flat design makes the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ earpieces simple and square in shape, with no angles around the tip, making them soft and silky to the touch and more comfortable to wear than angular designs. In addition, users can easily adjust the volume level by simply scratching the "piano keys" for sensitive control.


In addition, it is clear to see that Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ has increased the temperature sensor and heart rate sensor on both sides, enabling heart rate monitoring and body temperature detection, making it easier for us to manage our health in a more rational way, which is one of the highlights of this headset.

Use and connection: Minimalist yet powerful


Specific use and connection is also very simple, if you use a smartphone equipped with Harmony OS system, we only need to open the charging case cover close to the device, you can pop up the pairing window with animation, you can quickly complete the connection.


Other brands of cell phone users can complete the first pairing by way of Bluetooth connection, and the next time you open the box cover can automatically connect, which is also very convenient.

In order to experience more features, we need to use Huawei Smart Life, Audio Manager, Huawei Sports Health these three apps or plug-ins, such as a variety of custom features and personalized settings, the specific you can understand yourself, next we will talk about Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 + in health management features and experience.

Heart rate and temperature dual measurement, ear health companion

If the past three years have taught us anything, I think the most important thing is to focus on health and exercise. Compared to the previous Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2, the most intuitive upgrade to the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ is the addition of the heart rate and temperature dual measurement function.


First, let's talk about temperature measurement, there are many wearable devices that support temperature measurement, but most of them are sports watches, or bracelets, which directly measure the temperature at the wrist, and the error is not small. At present, the mainstream home and even medical temperature measurement equipment are used to determine the ear temperature, and headphones as the closest partner with the daily ear, can be said to be the most ideal temperature measurement equipment.


We also mentioned earlier that Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ adds three new temperature detection sensors, and the use of Huawei smartwatch temperature measurement module 3D three-dimensional temperature measurement architecture, in the earphone outlet, ear bag, ear bar at each arrangement of a sensor, in order to obtain a full range of temperature data; at the same time combined with the integration of intelligent temperature measurement software algorithm, the headset can be calculated according to the sensor's three-way information input In addition, the core temperature can be calculated based on the sensor's three inputs, and compensated for, and finally projected, the measurement data is more accurate and credible.


The test is also very simple, the first test needs to be worn for 5 minutes, after which we can click in the Smart Life App to measure the temperature. In order to give you a more intuitive comparison, I also conducted a test here, wearing Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 + 5 minutes to measure the temperature of 36.6 ℃, after a total of 10 minutes of wear again measured the temperature of 36.8 ℃.


I also immediately removed the headset and tested it with my own Braun ear temperature gun, which measured 36.9°C. Compared to the two, the accuracy of Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 + temperature measurement is still relatively high.

In addition to temperature detection, Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ also brings a new heart rate detection function. We all know that heart rate is a basic indicator of human vital signs, and the resting heart rate of a normal person is between 60 and 100 beats per minute.


The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 + has a new optical heart rate sensor and acceleration sensor at the ear pack on the basis of guaranteed audio performance, and creatively brings a monitoring capability comparable to that of a heart rate band by building a dual-mode fusion monitoring architecture of infrared light|green light, together with Huawei's own heart rate fusion algorithm.


We can choose to continuously measure heart rate or single measurement heart rate, single measurement heart rate and previously shared temperature measurement logic is similar, you need to click the measurement button in the app or directly pinch the right headset to test after opening the gesture function. And after turning on the continuous heart rate measurement function, the heart rate card in the App will have a dynamic state, which will automatically refresh the heart rate value, record and form the heart rate chart above, which is convenient for us to detect in real time.


In addition to the measurement function, Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ has an active voice announcement function to remind you when your heart rate is too high or too low, and the specific gear setting can be personalized according to your needs.

In addition, Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ also supports high-precision monitoring mode, in the sports state, after opening high-precision detection mode, the headset will use the anti-interference green LED light to measure heart rate, more accurate, while in the resting state, the headset will use infrared light to measure heart rate, the detection process is senseless, more private.


As for the detection accuracy, I conducted a comparison test through a watch that supports heart rate detection. In the same time state, Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ measured the heart rate at 77 beats per minute, while a brand watch measured the heart rate at 76 beats per minute, which shows that the heart rate detection of Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ is still relatively accurate.

The best sound quality beyond the industry with the best acoustic support

Of course, for a true wireless headset, sound quality performance is also the focus of most attention, Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 + uses a powerful ultra-perceptive acoustic dual-unit, including 11mm four-magnet large-drive dynamic unit and the micro-flat tweeter previously used only in high-end headphones. Low frequency dive to 14Hz, high frequency up to 48kHz, with TWS industry's widest frequency response range; and equipped with digital dual crossover technology, the technology allows high and low frequency units in their respective working bands work independently, without interference.

Sound quality here I selected two representative songs for testing, the first is from ED sheeran's "Shivers".


This is one of my personal favorite English songs, and it is also a popular head bobbing song on Jitterbug. After wearing Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+, I could clearly feel the accurate high and low frequency reproduction, the highs were bright and not harsh, the bass was surging and not dragging, while the drums and cymbals in the background sound were clearly layered and very recognizable.


The second is the more familiar "Light Years Away" from Deng Ziqi, through Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 + listening to this song, you can clearly feel Deng Ziqi's vocals are more forward, while the drum node and the vocal node keep a certain distance, the same rich sense of hierarchy.

Spatial Audio: Creating a 360° Surrounding Sensation

In terms of spatial audio, Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2+ offers two spatial modes: head tracking and fixed sound field, and supports audio theater, cinema, and concert hall modes. Thanks to the Audio Vivid 3D sound standard and the six-axis gyroscope sensor, the headset dynamically tracks head movements when our heads are turned, reshaping the sound field position in real time and providing a different sound field experience from different angles, making the experience more natural and closer to the real scene.
