honor Wireless earbuds are difficult to stand out in crowded areas, but with the recent outings, this situation may change. The former Huawei brand launched Earbuds 2 Lite, which has a long life and other features worthy of careful study.
2 Lite’s 55mAh battery can guarantee an exceptionally long listening experience for only 10 hours from the headset. In terms of context, even Sony’s high-end WF-1000XM4 headset “only” managed 8 hours. Regardless of whether the Honor earbuds meet this number, you can get some insurance from the charging box, which promises up to 32 hours of music or 20 hours of talk time. It can charge up to 40% after charging for 10 minutes.

You will also find that active noise reduction features, which are still uncommon at this price, include “perception mode” (think transparency on AirPods Pro), which allows outside sounds to enter. Two microphone arrays are not the most complicated, although Honor claims that neural network AI and “dual windproof” technology will improve the quality of calls in noisy environments.
Honor has a “real and balanced” sound from the 10mm driver of Earbuds 2 Lite. However, given the entry-level design, we will retain our judgment at this stage.
At least the price is right. Honor will release Earbuds 2 Lite in the UK, Finland, France, Germany, Italy and Spain for 69.90 Euros (approximately US$83). This is a good price for any earplugs equipped with ANC, not to mention a model that can last more than an entire working day in theory. It’s just a question of whether the quality is in line with Honor’s lofty marketing proposition.
