To keep these features reliable, Huawei is now treating FreeLace Pro 2 with a July 2024 update. Users can identify the latest firmware with the HarmonyOS 4.0.0.156 version and a downloadable package of around 2.15 Megabytes.

July 2024 update enhances the FreeLace Pro 2 to a greater extent. It further optimizes the single-ear call effect. Thus, users will hear better audio even when using a single earphone during a call. Another change is in the battery pop-up notification.

Connecting the device with a USB will immediately show a responsive prompt on the phone regarding the earphone battery. This will notify users about the battery status of the device. You can check the details in the changelog given below.

According to @FixedFocus, the Chinese firm might opt for the Dynamic Noise Cancellation 2.0 functionality for its new headphones – Huawei FreeLace Pro 2. The feature can automatically enhance the sound quality as per the surroundings.

Thus, it offers an excellent audio experience even when you are in a noisy environment like a busy office, subway, and more.

So far, Huawei has used the respective function in many of its earbuds. Perhaps, the company may upgrade it with its upcoming neckband headphones.

In addition, the tipster mentions that the company has greatly improved the battery life of its new audio wearable. Compared to the previous-gen neckband earphones, the new FreeLace Pro 2 could be more long-lasting and durable in usage.

Although an official statement still awaits on this matter. Probably, we may find some inputs in the coming days regarding the Huawei P70 series and the FreeLace Pro 2.

Huawei FreeLace Pro:

The predecessors use two highly sensitive microphones that work together to achieve noise cancellation in and out. Besides, the large dynamic drivers generate stronger and deeper anti-noise sound, creating a pure, immersive sound experience.

It would be worth seeing what new changes the next-gen FreeLace product will bring to the table in the time ahead.

Huawei FreeLace Pro:

The previous-gen device appears in four colors – Graphite Black, Dawn White, Spruce Green, and Sakura Pink. It further supports dual-mic Active Noise Cancellation and Triple-mic Noise Cancellation for phone calls.

Ahead, the FreeLace Pro equips three primary sensors – a microphone, a Hall sensor, and a capacitance sensor. It has a 14mm dynamic driver, which works with an independent low-frequency sound tube to obtain resonance effective and deeper base.

In terms of durability, the device packs a 150mAh battery which offers 24 hours of playback on 1 charge. Meanwhile, it takes about 60 minutes to re-energize the headset. Other features include Bluetooth 5.0 and IP55 rating. It would be worth seeing how the FreeLace Pro 2 differs from its predecessors.
