OpenFreebuds

If you have a pair of HUAWEI FreeBuds, then chances are that you are managing your headsets via the AI LIfe application. Unfortunately, many users reported several problems with the app, including that the program cannot find the FreeBuds earphones. OpenFreebuds is an open source tool that may help with this issue and allow you to make some tweaks at the same time.

Following the straightforward installation, the app can be accessed from the System Tray. It does include a small GUI but you can mostly find the Settings here. If the Bluetooth is on, then it should be able to detect your FreeBuds, but you may hit the Refresh button, in case it doesn’t.

The idea behind the utility is to provide a simple way to manage your headphones directly from the PC and improve the overall functionality of the devices by disabling noise control, noise canceling, changing the noise control mode, activating awareness, connecting and disconnecting the earphones, and so on and so forth.

It is worth mentioning that the program has been tested with HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i and HONOR Earbuds 2 Lite, so it may not work with other series for the time being. Moreover, the developer plans to implement additional options in the future, including a native device control on Windows and long tap action configuration.
