Huawei earbuds price reductions continue

Entities: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. · FreeBuds 6 · Crystal Clip · TCL Corporation

Overview

In early July 2026 Huawei launched the FreeBuds SE 4 earbuds in the UK and US at a sub‑£60 price, with Argos discounting the model to £29.99, a 50 % cut. By 20 July, Amazon listed a separate promotion for the earlier FreeBuds SE 2, halving its price to €25, extending the affordability push to European and Mexican markets.

On 28 July 2026 Huawei announced a price reduction for its FreeBuds 6 in Spain, now priced at €91.08, down from above €99. The open‑ear, dual‑controller earbuds retain active noise cancellation and up to 36 hours of playback with the charging case. The cut mirrors a concurrent discount by TCL on its Crystal Clip open‑ear headphones in Israel, underscoring a broader trend of aggressive pricing among manufacturers to capture share in the fast‑growing wireless earbud segment.
