Q&A
Q: Can i use this APP with the Honor Flybuds 2?
A: No, they have their own APP. Since 13th of january, Freebuds 2 APP got updated to 1.0.0.121 and its basicly a copy of the FlyBuds App. I decided to support both. But keep in mind that i dont own the FlyBuds and cant test everything. If errors happen, please report here with a screenshot :)

Q: The package says it supports HWA Audio codec but i cant enable it.
A: In case of the Mate 20 Pro, you need to be atleast on Firmware 9.0.0.171 to be able to use HWA.

Q: How do i setup Bone ID Voice Recognition?
A: Honestly, no idea. It seems we need a newer firmware on our phone to have access to this feature. I will report if i get more informations.

Q: Does voice commands work?
A: Yes, music and calls can be controlled. Please check the manual on how to do this.

Q: The update of my Freebuds 2 keeps failing.
A: Keep trying, i needed 6 trys until it worked.

Q: Can i use my phones voice assistant instead oft he build in one?
A: Yes, once you activate, for example google assistant, the Freebuds 2 app wont show any voice settings anymore and all the settings has to be done inside the google app.

Q: Can i use voice comands to do payments?
A: As far i know, no. I am still investigating.

Q: I speak, for example spanish, can i make a translation into spanish?
A: Yes, PN me and i send you the string.xml. You can translate it by using Notepad++ for example and send it back to me. I will update the APP then 

* Updated Mirror to AndroidFileHost *

Best Regards :p

Can anyone comment on music n call quality and does HWA/LHDC codec make any difference?

Please, anyone who has purchased freebud 2/pro, please share your experience on build, comfort, connectivity, audio quality etc..

Can't download that app. Whole page is flooded with trash adds..
Try downloading it from your PC. I'm using Chrome with AdBlocker extension and the file does get downloaded at the first click on the download button, no popups, no ads. From the phone, I was flooded with ads as well. :)

I received mine yesterday. Music quality is very good for me (I'm not an expert on this matter). Indoors, the connectivity is awesome. I haven't experienced any issues like sound skips.

Outdoors, I've experienced minor issues having my mobile in my pants' pocket and my hand covering it. But it almost never happened.

Regarding the HWA, I'm using a mate 20 pro LYA-L29 9.0.0.169 and I don't have the inbuilt options in EMUI 9. Waiting for the 9.0.0.171 update which I heard includes the HWA and, in some cases, in-built options outside the freebuds 2 app.

While calling, I have no issues hearing (outdoors) but the person on the line told me that she couldn't hear me very well (Cut audio). I haven't tested it indoors.

The headphones are very comfortable. It fits nice inside the ear so you don't really hear much outside noise at 55% volume. They don't fall easily. I've done some tests like shaking my head fast and running with them and they stay in place.

They feel well-built. They don't have that cheap plastic feeling. It's a shame that they don't have touch controls for skipping songs or changing the volume. On the other hand, they support voice assistant so you can say for instance "Play summertime by my chemical romance" and it will start playing without touching your phone.

They also have voice controls to turn up/down the volume, play/pause, etc.

Battery wise, I haven't used them long enough to drain the battery. I used them continuously for 1 hour and a half without issues. The case charges them so I haven't had the chance of draining them completely.

The wireless charge is awesome. I use the mate 20 pro reverse charge and it's very handy.

I think that covers pretty much everything. If you have any questions I can try to help :)

Updated to 1.0.0.121

Visually there are no changes. I still belive that we Need atleast 9.0.0.171 Firmware for some feature.
Maybe someone who has 171 on his Mate 20 pro and the Freebuds could confirm or send me some screenshots.
Specially if there are any Buttons for BoneID Settings. HWA Codec Settings are confirmed being there at 171 or higher.
