Наушники — HONOR Earbuds 4

The Earbuds 4 is a noise-cancelling true wireless model from HONOR, launched first in China at a price equivalent to about USD 49. Each bud weighs 5.3 g, and both the buds and the charging case carry metal accents. HONOR sells it under its main brand rather than in the lower-priced HONOR Choice line.

Key specs that matter

Inside every earpiece are two dynamic drivers, an 11 mm unit and a 6 mm unit, both with titanium-coated diaphragms that HONOR rates at twenty times the rigidity of an uncoated film. Active noise cancellation reduces ambient noise by up to 50 dB and offers three levels called Deep, Medium and Light. Battery life is up to 9 hours per charge and up to 46 hours with the charging case, and in the Deep ANC mode the buds run for about 5 hours. With ANC active the case extends total use to about 25 hours. A 10 minute charge gives roughly 3 hours of listening. The frequency range is quoted at 20 Hz to 20 kHz, and the housing meets IP54 for dust and water.

Engineering and use context

Calls use a three-microphone array with a deep neural network algorithm, which HONOR says suppresses wind noise up to 6 m per second. Two transparency modes are provided, Ambient and Voice. Controls are touch-based - a slide changes volume and a tap starts or stops playback, while the touch surface also switches between noise modes - and wear detection pauses music when a bud is removed and resumes it when it is put back. A game mode reduces latency between picture and audio, and the maker also lists spatial rendering. Through the HONOR AI Space app the buds support AI translation. The ear tips are described as 15.6 percent softer than conventional cushions. Bluetooth 5.3 handles the wireless link with backward compatibility, and the case is charged over a USB-C port. Colour options include Starlight Black and Pearl White. The ANC system uses the same three microphones that serve for calls.

Pairing

Because the amplifier and DAC are built into each bud, the Earbuds 4 needs only a Bluetooth phone, tablet or computer as the source. The translation feature and the app settings depend on the HONOR AI Space app, so owners of HONOR phones get the widest set of functions, while playback and noise cancelling work with any compatible device.

Alternatives

The HONOR Choice Earbuds X7 offers a cheaper true wireless option from the brand, with a 7.6 g bud, a 10 mm dynamic driver and 45 dB hybrid ANC.
