First of all, when we look at the contents of the box, we see that in addition to the headphones and charging box, there is a short Type C cable for charging and of course the user manual and warranty certificate. The headphone box has classic lines in design. With its oval structure and small size, it is designed in a structure that will not disturb your pocket.

The Type C port is located at the bottom of the box. There is a notification light below the Huawei logo. Contrary to usual, there is no pairing button on the box. If you are near the phone when you open the box, the device enters pairing mode and you can connect within seconds. Later, when you want to make a manual pairing, all you have to do is open the cover while the headphones are in the box and press the top of the headphones for 3 seconds. The notification light on the charging case starts blinking and the headset enters pairing mode.

Bluetooth 5.3 is already preferred and it is really fast in this regard. During my testing period, I also tried it on iOS and Android phones other than the Huawei model. It works flawlessly on all of them. When you install Huawei’s AI life application, you can use the headset much better. All settings and notifications, especially the press settings, are included in this application.

In the AI ​​Life application, many options are included in addition to adjustments such as echo setting, updates and dynamic delay. First of all, we can say that the find my headphones mode is a life saver, especially if you often forget where you left it. In the application, where you can also monitor the battery status, the gestures section allows you to adjust the touch features.

When you open the charging box, the headset design that resembles slightly smiling eyes appears. The headphones have an ergonomic structure and sit nicely in your ear. Normally, I like rubber in-ear models more, but I did not encounter any problems with them falling out of my ears when I wore these. By the way, the charging box of the headset, which has an IP54 certificate, weighs 33 grams, while each headset weighs 3.8 grams.

As I said, there are touch controls on the headphones. Thanks to this touch control, which you can customize using the AI ​​Life application, you can perform functions such as playing media, stopping it, answering calls, ending the call or switching to the previous or next track.

Considering its price, the Huawei Freebuds SE 2 model has really good sound quality. The company put the headset through 26 different tests to ensure sound stability. This headset, which has a 10 mm dynamic driver, really does a good job in terms of sound quality, especially in the mid and high frequencies. While using it, it is felt that the sound quality is much better than models in the similar segment. The same goes for its microphone. It does a pretty good job with conversations and audio recording.

Huawei Freebuds SE 2 has features that will not let you down when it comes to charging. It offers a total of 40 hours of use with its box, which we must say is really good in this segment. When fully charged, the headphones have a performance of 9 hours. Even with a 10-minute charge, it has a lifespan of approximately three hours. The charging box has a battery capacity of 510 mAh, and each of the headphones has a battery capacity of 41 mAh.
