Huawei has launched a limited-edition FreeBuds Neo bundle in China with a Dolia case and collector’s figure, alongside AI noise cancellation and lossless NearLink Audio.
Huawei has put a new limited edition of its FreeBuds Neo wireless earphones on sale in China, tying the product to the mobile game “Honor of Kings” and its character Dolia. IT Home said the bundle includes a bespoke protective case and a collector’s figure, with the launch price set at 799 yuan and a promotional price of 749 yuan. Huawei Central reported a lower mainland price for the standard version, suggesting the limited package sits above the regular retail offer.
The FreeBuds Neo runs HarmonyOS 7 and uses Huawei’s so-called “Starry Little Flying Saucer” charging case, a fully curved design intended to sit naturally in the hand. Huawei’s own product page says the shape is based on the golden ratio, while each earbud weighs 4.8 grams and devotes 60% of its surface to touch controls. The company positions the design as a small, lightweight model built for everyday wear rather than a more imposing, stem-heavy form factor.
On the audio side, Huawei says the earphones use a self-developed third-generation AI sound chip, together with dual-DSP architecture and an NPU-based AI processor. The company claims the system samples surrounding noise up to 400,000 times per second and can reduce processing delay to 8 microseconds, enabling what it describes as intelligent noise cancellation across different environments. Huawei also says the acoustic structure uses a C-shaped tube and vent holes to divert sound more efficiently and reduce wind noise and other interference, with average full-range noise reduction reaching up to 30dB.
For voice calls, Huawei says the earphones rely on three microphones and a bone-conduction microphone to preserve speech clarity in difficult conditions. According to the company, the system can maintain intelligible call quality in background noise as high as 95dB or in wind speeds of up to 9m/s. Battery life is rated at 6.5 hours with noise cancellation enabled and 10 hours with it switched off, while the charging case extends total listening time further.
The FreeBuds Neo also supports Huawei’s NearLink Audio connection, which the company says can deliver 16Mbps transmission and 48kHz/24-bit lossless audio, with coverage of up to 170 metres in ideal conditions. Huawei says the model works with HarmonyOS, Android and iOS through the Huawei Smart Audio app, extending control beyond its own ecosystem. The earphones are available in multiple colours, including silver, pink, white and black, underscoring Huawei’s push to keep the model positioned as both a lifestyle accessory and a technical showcase.
