Huawei FreeBuds 6 Officially Launched in Indonesia
Huawei has officially introduced the FreeBuds 6 in Indonesia, marking a significant leap forward from its predecessor, the FreeBuds 5. Which launched in 2023. Priced at approximately IDR 2.2 million, the FreeBuds 6 promises a superior audio experience with advanced features tailored for gadget enthusiasts, casual users, and tech professionals alike.
Ergonomic Open-fit Design
The FreeBuds 6 retains the iconic open-fit droplet-shaped design but features a 12% slimmer stem, resulting in a lighter and more comfortable fit for extended wear. Available in elegant black and purple color variants, it combines style with functionality.
Dual 11 mm Drivers for Immersive Sound
A standout upgrade is the industry-first dual planar 11 mm drivers in an open-fit design, which deliver powerful bass and a wide high-frequency response up to 48 kHz — far surpassing the single driver system of the previous generation.
State-of-the-Art Audio Technology
Equipped with Bass Turbo 2.0 technology, the FreeBuds 6 enhances low-end detail while maintaining balance across all frequencies. The earbuds also support lossless audio transmission up to 2.3 Mbps using L2HC 4.0 codec, ensuring near-CD quality sound reproduction, a notable improvement over earlier models.
Advanced Noise Cancellation
Despite its open-fit form factor, the FreeBuds 6 features windproof 4-microphone noise cancellation, capable of effectively reducing ambient noise and wind sounds for clearer calls. According to Huawei, its AI-powered system can suppress noise levels up to 95 dB even with wind speeds reaching 8 m/s, setting a new standard for open-fit earbuds.
Extended Battery Life and Seamless Connectivity
Battery life has been improved to provide up to 36 hours of total playback time with the charging case, meeting the needs of all-day use without frequent recharging. The FreeBuds 6 also offers broad compatibility across HarmonyOS, Android, iOS, and Windows, allowing effortless pairing with a wide range of devices.
Pricing, Availability, and Promotions
Huawei has set the official retail price at IDR 2.2 million. As a special promotion from June 25 to July 31, 2025, buyers will receive a complimentary Huawei Band 9 (worth IDR 1.1 million) and one-time free replacement if an earbud is lost. The FreeBuds 6 will be available through Huawei’s official stores and leading e-commerce platforms starting late June 2025.
With notable improvements in design, audio technology, noise cancellation, and battery life, the Huawei FreeBuds 6 stands out as a compelling choice for consumers seeking a premium open-fit wireless audio solution in 2025.
