There are now literally hundreds of pairs of earbuds available to buy from an internet-connected computer in Dublin. Not many big brand models come with the features of Huawei’s new Freebuds 4i.

Its latest base-level Bluetooth earbuds come with noise cancellation, decent battery life, an ‘awareness’ mode and a design that will remind you more than a bit of Apple’s AirPods Pro.

It also has some touch controls on the side, although these have been minimised from what you might usually expect on modern earbuds. You can play or pause a track, turn noise cancellation on or off, or answer or end a call. But there’s no swiping to fast forward or restart tracks.
