From turntables and soundbars, to microphones, speakers and a good number of headphones -which most of us have tried-, the following sales make them excellent alternatives, both for entertainment and for the work.
Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 Hi-Res Silver Wireless Earphones – 25% off
Last year we tested this model from the Chinese company and our verdict was five stars, the highest rating in our hands-on tests. Because? Well, because it’s smart TWS that’s easy to use, super comfortable, and surprisingly loud. The FreeBuds Pro 2 are compatible with high quality audio codecs, such as LDAC. They also have Drivers Dual, i.e. two loudspeakers in each earphone, which makes it possible to process high and low frequencies independently and in a coordinated manner. Another of the strengths of this model is its active noise cancellation, in which three levels of action are available: from one for “cozy” places to another “general” and a “dynamic”, which is optimized in real time with very good results. On the other hand, its Bluetooth connectivity is 5.2, which guarantees a very good data transmission rate while allowing the connection to two devices simultaneously. Add 30 hours of autonomy and, in this offer, the inclusion of a guarantee in case of loss of the device. Previous price: $159,990.

Huawei Freebuds 5i Wireless Headphones Black – 45%
More recent, although of a lower range, is this Huawei model, a very good alternative for the narrowest pocket. Obviously, it is not practical to compare these and the FreeBuds Pro 2, although Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and all its advantages are retained here. The key is to make the comparison with the previous version, the FreeBuds 4i, and what stands out the most by ear, in this sense, is that here you have access to high-resolution audio, since the 5i are compatible with the LDAC codec. It also has active noise cancellation with three modes and, for sports enthusiasts, the FreeBuds 5i are an excellent alternative, given their lightness and ergonomics, to which is added an IP54 certification for resistance to water and dust.

Xiaomi Redmi Buds 4 Pro Midnight Black Headphones – 40% off
This is another model we reviewed that surprised us, hiding a number of high-quality features behind its basic looks and cheap price. The Redmi Buds 4 Pro have high resolution sound, thanks to their compatibility with the LDAC codec and their dual dynamic drivers, with a 10 millimeter aluminum alloy diaphragm and a 6 millimeter titanium diaphragm. The result is a very good quality sound, especially in the price-performance ratio. Also surprising is its Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, the most recent of this technology, which ensures greater fluidity, guarantees less interference and, ultimately, a better user experience. We also celebrate the performance of its active noise cancellation: with it, you can walk quietly while listening to music without the chaos of traffic interrupting the experience. And equally or more remarkable is the performance of its battery, which offers a maximum of 36 hours of autonomy, which far exceeds other models, even high-end ones. Previous price: $99,990.

This is largely due to the fact that its hardware incorporates a woofer and a tweeter to process low and high frequencies independently, with a power rating of 50 Watts.
