Huawei's FreeBuds copy the AirPods, double the battery life

Say what you will about Huawei, but it is determined to walk the fine line between imitating Apple's design, and altering it just enough so as not to get into legal trouble. It's a hotch-potch of feelings, though, as the new P20 and P20 Pro sport a notch and vertical cameras, but at the same time carry unique features, especially in the camera department, so it's not exactly blatant copycatting that Huawei engages in, bur rather going with the trend flow, and enhancing it in the process.
What's what now?
Still, the FreeBuds offer a black option, which Apple doesn't, a silicon tip for more secure fit, and, did we mention the 10-hour playback promise? There must be some new Qualcomm chippery and Bluetooth 5.0 tech inside to hit that mark, but we'll have to take them for a spin before we reach a verdict on performance and real battery life. The price? Why, at €159, it undercuts the AirPods in Europe by a twenty, but rights their wrongs, so the FreeBuds might find a decent market acceptance when Huawei lets them out in the open.
