Voice prompts on HUAWEI earbuds

When the earbuds are used with phones running iOS/EMUI 10.0/HarmonyOS 2.0 or later, the language of the voice prompts will vary depending on the phone's system language. If the language on your phone is set to Chinese, the voice prompts will be played in Chinese. Otherwise, voice prompts will be in English. Currently, it is not possible to disable or modify voice prompts, or adjust their volume.

The language of voice prompts on FreeLace Pro and FreeLace Lite earbuds is the language of the country/region of manufacture by default. You cannot change the language or adjust the volume level.
