HUAWEI Smartwatches and Bands: Fitness Guides on the Wrist

Having to stay at home in lieu of safety and wellbeing may lead some to live a sedentary lifestyle. This is in contrast to the recommendation of medical experts from the world over to remain active to boost body immunity. To help more homebound Filipinos stay active indoors, HUAWEI has discounted a variety of smartwatches and fitness bands that boast features and technology capable of handling users’ fitness goals and monitoring. 

 

The HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 Series solves the industry pain points of short battery life to meet the needs of consumers. The HUAWEI Watch GT 2 (46 mm), one of the line’s iterations, can be used for 30 hours of continuous exercise. The HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e, on the other hand, has been developed with aesthetic and workout features at the core.

Another smartwatch to checkout is the HUAWEI WATCH FIT. This fitness watch is the first to pack Huawei's fast charging technology to ensure a smooth user experience.

Its Huawei Online Store price is only Php 3,999 during the Audio and Wearables Festival.

 

The Huawei Band 6 is a much more attainable option for homebound fitness buffs. The Huawei Band 6 not only ensures comfortable wear, but also accurate all-day SpO2, heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking. It will be discounted by up to 20 percent during the festival, leaving its final retail price at Php 2,090. 

 

HUAWEI Audio Devices: Uninterrupted Music Experience

Apart from the wearable products, a pair of comfortable earbuds can easily get any fitness enthusiast in the zone. The HUAWEI FreeBuds 4 for example is designed for users who are looking for a comfortable wearing experience and excellent noise reduction as it is using the AEM (Adaptive Ear Matching) technology in open-fit earphones. Its sibling, the HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i, inherits the genes of the FreeBuds family, including active noise reduction and high quality. The HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i has an ultra-long battery of 10 hours of continuous music playback. In terms of sound quality, it uses the "PEEK+PU" polymer composite diaphragm, so that the headphones have excellent sound performance in all frequencies.

HUAWEI Freebuds 4 Review: Comfortable wearing experience and amazing audio quality

While I’ve tried quite a few wireless earbuds and headphones, this is actually the first time I’m going to review a pair of Huawei ANC buds. And--spoiler alert, I was impressed from the very note of the first song I listened to—“Beggin” from Maneskin, my current fave song.

But the Huawei Freebuds 4 delivers more than great sound and that’s what we’ll talk about in this review—as well as a few things that I didn’t like.

 

The Huawei FreeBuds 4 is the brand’s latest open-fit ANC earphones. It has been getting praised for its enhanced open-fit ANC 2.0, comfortable wearing experience and amazing audio quality. It’s bass enhancement combined with the 14.3mm large dynamic unit, allows the headset to maintain a consistently high level of sound quality. Does it live up to its promise?

 

WHAT’S INSIDE THE BOX?

The Huawei Freebuds 4 comes in a white box with the Huawei branding in gold and a photo of the Freebuds 4 on front. Included in the box are paper documents, (quick start guide, warranty card and safety information) the Freebuds 4 unit inside its charging case and a USB A to USB-C charging cable.

 

DESIGN AND BUILD 

The FreeBuds 4 look very similar to the FreeBuds 3, the main difference is that the case is now slightly smaller and lighter. A smaller case also means that the earbuds are smaller and a millimeter or two shorter.  

As far as the design, its simply beautiful and pretty much in line with what we’re used to getting from the brand’s premium products. The Freebuds 4 adopts an open-fit design, so if you’re someone who doesn’t like those in-ear canal earbuds, this is the one you should check out. And because they don’t plug into your ear canals, they don’t get uncomfortable to wear after long listening sessions—as long you can get a good fit with them.

Compared its predecessor, the Huawei FreeBuds 4 is revamped with 13 size optimizations, further reducing the size of its body and stem for a lighter weight. It only weighs 4.1 gram1 per earbud, achieving an ethereal design on ANC earphones. In addition to size optimization, the HUAWEI FreeBuds 4 brings three enhancements to its overall curvature for a better fit.  Thanks to the ergonomic simulation system grounded by 10,000+ human ear models, and the extensive stress simulation test on eight parts of the ear, the comfort assessment of Huawei FreeBuds 4 is conducted objectively to guarantee optimal wearing comfort for every user.

 

All that means that whatever size of ear you have, the Huawei Freebuds 4 should fit quite nicely and comfortably. After a couple of minutes, you’d forget you’re wearing them. They’re comfortable and due to their “Air-light” weight, you easily get accommodated to wearing them. Surprisingly, they never fell out of my ear while I was doing my walking exercises or while riding the bike around our neighborhood.

 

The FreeBuds 4 are available in ceramic white and silver frost colorways. We have the ceramic white version which is clean and classic. Those who want a more daring, shiny finish should check out the silver frost version instead.  The case has a smooth finish but can be slippery so if you could find a pouch or case, best to get one.

 

PAIRING AND CONTROLS 

Pairing the FreeBuds 4 with your phone is pretty easy. All you have to do is turn your phone’s Bluetooth on and simply open the case to put it into pairing mode immediately.

 

If its already been paired it with another device, just press the side button on the case for around two seconds until the LED light starts blinking, then can pair it as normal.

 

For those using Huawei smartphones, pairing is almost automatic and it will recognize the FreeBuds 4 right away when it enters pairing mode. I was also happy to discover that the FreeBuds 4 can maintain up to two active Bluetooth connections so you don’t have to manually switch from your phone to your laptop or tablet.

 

Then there’s Ai Life, Huawei’s all-in-one app which you could download from the Huawei APPGallery to unlock more features of the Freebuds 4. 

 

As for the controls, I love that I don’t have to reach for my phone to pause or change the volume. Double-tap on the earphone stem to pause/play whatever you’re listening to or watching, do a long press to answer an incoming call and long press on either earbud turns ANC off or on. To adjust the volume simply slide up or down on the earphone stem. It also has wear detection which means it will automatically stop when you remove it and resume one you put it back on.

 

SOUND AND ANC

The FreeBuds 4 boasts of an “all-new” adaptive noise-cancelling feature, open fit ANC 2.0, which is supposed to adjust noise cancellation to suit the unique size and shape of your ears. 

 

The FreeBuds 4 features a staggered wind-proof structure that prevents wind noise from being generated at the source. In-turn, this design effectively blocks strong winds from blowing directly into the microphone for better wind-proof effects.

The internal microphone is designed to pick up internal noise more effectively. There is a sound pick-up tube installed next to the microphone, so the noise in the ear can go along the tube and reach the microphone for better noise pickup. This way, the headset can eliminate inverted acoustic waves more precisely for even better noise-cancelling outcomes.

 

Because noise cancellation performance may be affected by user’s ear size and wearing position. To address this, engineers need to design multiple sets of parameters to achieve optimal noise- cancellation under different conditions. Based on the ear canal size and wearing condition, the earphones can automatically switch to the optimum parameters for the best noise cancellation experience.

HUAWEI FreeBuds 4 is the first open-fit earphones in the industry to feature Adaptive Ear Matching (AEM) technology. When users turn on the noise cancellation feature, the headset automatically detects the ear canal shape and wearing conditions, and then assigns the best suited noise cancellation parameters from multiple data sets. The closer the fit of the earbuds, the greater the noise cancellation effect. Smaller ear cavities allow the earbuds to achieve a greater noise cancellation effect than larger ear cavities. 

 

I didn’t pay much attention to ANC, that was until I experienced it on the FreeBuds 4, which made watching movies even more immersive. No more rewinding multiple time  to hear what the characters were whispering or talking about. 

 

As for the bass, the Huawei FreeBuds 4 adopts an upgraded 40kHz3 wide-range dynamic unit and bass enhancement engine to achieve enhanced sound quality. The 14.3mm super large diaphragm makes the amplitude larger and the bass more powerful.  

 

I’m not much into very loud music so the bass is just right for me, though other users might find it a bit lacking especially those who love to listen to dance hiphop music. 

BATTERY LIFE

The Huawei Freebud 4 can last up to 4 hours on a single charge without ANC and that goes down to 2.5 hours with ANC enabled. So if you are on a long trip you might want to turn off ANC to make it last longer. Music playback with charging case can last up to 22 hourse with ANC disable and charging time takes about 1 hour via the charging case. Sadly the FreeBuds 4 no longer support wireless charging unlike the FreeBuds 3.

 

Another feature I almost forgot is water resistance and you can safely use the FreeBuds 4 in the rain, thanks to the IPX4 water resistance certification.

 

CONCLUSION

The Huawei Freebuds 4 is another great addition to Huawei’s ecosystem. It looks good, and sounds even better—as long as you like the open-fit design. I like how easy it is to pair with my phone and the touch controls are very easy to get used to. ANC 2.0 does a good job but again that depends on how snug it fits your ear. Battery life is okay, although I wish it could last longer than 4 hours like other earbuds

 

Still if you are in the market for a good pair of earbuds the Huawei FreeBuds 4 is worth checking out.

What I liked:

Stylish looks

Comfortable

Very lightweight

Dual-device connectivity

Good battery life 

Touch gestures

 

What I disliked 

No wireless charging

A bit expensive

Meet Evelyn Chua-Ng, the woman leading P&G’s equality and inclusion in the workplace

Shifting a company’s gender ratio to be more balanced, and enabling capable women to assume leadership positions, are two of the most relevant imperatives in modern workplaces. To both ends, Procter & Gamble has made great strides, breaking out of traditional workplace cultures that tend to inhibit an employee’s full potential. 

 

P&G Philippines shares how it has 50-50 gender balance in all management levels, proving that in P&G, a successful career path is possible for anyone.

The multinational consumer goods corporation is committed to doing even more, shares its Equality and Inclusion (E&I) Corporate Sponsor, Evelyn Chua-Ng. A P&G veteran for 20 years, Chua-Ng started in the Philippines in 2001, and assumed international roles across 3 countries in Asia.  One such role was Finance Manager for P&G Greater China’s Baby Care, Oral Care, Skincare & Cosmetics sector.  She has gone on to be Chief Financial Officer for P&G Philippines, after which in 2016, she became Vice President of P&G Asia Pacific Tax Operations and Comptroller for the expansive Asia, Middle East, Africa region in 2019. She is the highest-ranking Filipino woman in P&G Philippines. She concurrently leads P&G Philippines’ Equality & Inclusion council, the team tasked to nurture an equal and inclusive workplace for employees where performance, skills, and talent are the basis for advancement — not gender or sexual orientation.

 

“I’m privileged to work in a company where senior leaders truly live and breathe an inclusive culture. This is a big enabler as it levels the playing field for everyone. Working with the P&G local office and other regional headquarters throughout my career, I never felt like I was not listened to or my ideas were dismissed because of my gender,” said Chua-Ng. She also mentioned how important it is that her husband has been a big supporter of her career goals and an involved father to their four girls.

 

Early on in her career at P&G, she realized that her biggest personal challenges are often self-imposed, allowing cultural and social expectations on women and mothers to get the best of her. Thankfully, the strong P&G equality and inclusion initiatives helped her understand and overcome these unconscious biases and self-limiting beliefs.  As an example, Chua-Ng was a vocal senior leader advocate for providing well-appointed breastfeeding rooms in their offices to enable P&G mothers to fulfill their parenting duties easily even while at work. 

 

As the E&I Sponsor, Chua-Ng’s vision is to drive and maintain a strong culture of inclusion in P&G Philippines, where everybody can bring their full selves to work every day. She plans on being a strong mentor and advocate for deserving individuals,  citing how strong male and female senior leaders mentored and inspired her to courageously step out of her comfort zone and challenge biases.

The company’s E&I efforts are expansive, covering areas such as company policies, programs and practices.  This year, P&G launched its Share the Care policy, which expands its paid parental leave policy to a minimum standard of 8 weeks for all P&G parents, not just birthing mothers. This goes beyond the government-mandated 7 paternity leave days, and gives dads an extra seven weeks to share in caregiving of new children.

 

“P&G has a role to play as thought-leaders in this space. Equality and inclusion is not a new initiative or buzzword in P&G because this has been an integral business strategy of ours for many years. Recently, we have seen the power of leveraging the reach of our brands as a force for good in sparking conversations that tackle bias in society,” added Chua-Ng.

 

Chua-Ng encourages more companies to champion equality and inclusion as a business and organization strategy.  Research has shown that diverse and inclusive organizations deliver stronger business results. The diversity of thought sparks better problem-solving, engagement, creativity, innovation and financial performance. Ultimately, companies create stronger shareholder value by embracing equitable and inclusive practices.

Google partners with Mommy Mundo for the launch of “Internet Awesome Parents” webinar series

Google, in collaboration with the country’s pioneering parenting resource and community Mommy Mundo, is launching the “Internet Awesome Parents” webinar series. It aims to equip parents and guardians with the knowledge and tools of educating their kids about internet safety and digital responsibility.

 

The series will begin on September 15, 2021, 8:00 PM via the Mommy Mundo Facebook page which will be streamed as well on Google Philippines’ Facebook account and YouTube channel. The topics that will be discussed are grounded on Google’s Internet Awesome Parents, an educational resource that encourages healthy family conversations on how to best take advantage of technology in a safe, fun, and productive way. The webinars will run for three consecutive weeks until September 29.

 

“As a mom to a digital native, I am able to see firsthand how kids nowadays are inevitably becoming more exposed to technology and the internet. Especially now that their usage is hinged on their academic needs and digital social interactions, it is all the more important that they learn to use the internet responsibly,” says Bernadette Nacario, Country Director of Google Philippines. “At Google, we are committed to enabling families and communities to help make the internet a safer place for children and raise confident explorers of the online world.” 

 

Each episode will be hosted by parenting experts. Play advocate Gabby Roa Limjoco will lead the discussion on September 15 about “Teaching your kids to be better netizens,” which will be followed by “Ensuring your kids’ safety online” on September 22 by Dr. Michele Alignay, a pioneering advocate of digital media well-being and parenting. The last session on September 29 will be about “Setting boundaries with technology for your kids” led by homeschooling champion, Joy Tanchi-Mendoza.

 

Janice Crisostomo Villanueva, Founder of Mommy Mundo, says “Mommy Mundo is glad to partner with Google in this initiative to help empower parents about digital responsibility. The safety of our children will always be our top priority and this applies even in their online explorations. At a time when it is essential to teach them how to use technology independently, it is equally important to teach them how to become kind and smart stewards of the internet.”

 

Be one with the parenting community in raising responsible digital citizens. Tune in to the “Internet Awesome Parents” webinar series beginning September 15, 2021, 8:00 PM, on the Mommy Mundo Facebook page, and Google Philippines’ Facebook account and YouTube channel.

Why this BB cream is an excellent addition to your men's skincare kit

Men need to look fresh and well-groomed too, especially now that our faces are on focus during virtual meetings, video calls and even online classes

 

Having the right skincare products that are especially developed for men is important to maintain a well-moisturized, blemish-free and smooth complexion. For men who want to keep their skincare routine simple, Blackwater’s BB cream is a great option because it is a multi-functional product that has several benefits. 

Here are some great reasons why this BB cream is an excellent addition to your skincare kit:

It evens out skin tone. Blemish Balm creams or BB cream has ingredients that help in seamlessly merging with the base of your skin tone, moisturize your skin and protect it from the sun. Blackwater BB Cream for Men is an oil control cream that helps out in minimizing uneven skin tone. Apply it gently to your face and leave it on for at least 10 minutes to achieve a glass skin look. Its matte-finish texture will also help you keep your skin smooth and shine-free for hours. You can choose the Beige or Tan shade that comes with this BB Cream depending on your skin tone. It’s lightweight too so you can always keep your fresh look on the go!

 

Conceals spots and blemishes. A BB cream can act as a concealer and hide your pimples and skin blemishes. It can also control the production of excess sebum and control erratic skin breakouts.
