Prerequisites

 

• Update Audio Accessory Manager to 13.0.0.150 or later, and update the plug-in in the AI Life app to 2.1.3.53 or later. If you are using FreeBuds 5i, also update the firmware version to HarmonyOS 2.1.0.198 or later.

Scenario identification and icon display for subway rides, high-speed rail, and flights

• When paired with a phone running HarmonyOS 2.0 or later, FreeBuds Pro 3/FreeBuds Pro 2 supports icon display for noise cancellation during flights, but not during subway rides or high-speed rail trips.
  1. Update the AI Life app to its latest version.
  2. Enable Airplane mode and Bluetooth on your phone, and connect your phone to your earphones.
  3. Open the AI Life app and go to Noise canceling > Dynamic.
  4. Once the cabin noise is detected, the earphones will enter Dynamic (Ultra) mode, which will take effect automatically in the AI Life app to cancel out noise during the flight.

• When paired with a Mate 40 Pro/Mate 40 Pro+ running EMUI 11.0/HarmonyOS 2.0 or later, FreeBuds Pro earphones can detect whether you are on the subway, high-speed rail, or a flight, and the corresponding icon will display on the phone. On other phone models, these icons will not display, but you can use the intelligent dynamic ANC feature as normal.
• Subway, high-speed rail, and flight scenario identification and icon display are not supported on FreeBuds Lipstick 2/FreeBuds 5/FreeBuds 6i/FreeBuds 5i.
