Reviews of the Huawei FreeBuds Neo are out: 4.8 g earbuds with adaptive ANC, LDAC, L2HC, spatial audio and multipoint. Sound and comfort impress, but battery life drops to about 4.5 hours with LDAC and ANC on, and the transparency mode adds audible noise.

• Codecs: SBC, AAC, LDAC and L2HC 4.0, Bluetooth 6.0 without Auracast
• Battery lasted about 4.5 hours with LDAC and ANC enabled
• Earbuds are IP55 rated, the case has no water protection
