Honor is slowly building out its audio lineup, and the Earbuds 4 are now making their way beyond China into select global markets. On paper, these look like a serious attempt at balancing sound quality, noise cancellation, and everyday usability without pushing into premium pricing.

But do they actually stand out, or are they just another pair of spec-heavy TWS earbuds?

Pricing And Availability

The Honor Earbuds 4 are now available in markets like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Malaysia.

Pricing starts at AED 169 in the UAE, SAR 199 in Saudi Arabia, and MYR 399 in Malaysia. In China, they originally launched at CNY 399, which already positioned them in the mid-range segment.

They come in White and Black colour options and are currently available through Honor’s official channels in these regions.

Focus On Sound Quality

Honor is clearly trying to push audio performance here.

The Earbuds 4 come with a dual driver setup, which includes an 11mm woofer and a 6mm tweeter. Both use titanium-coated diaphragms, which should help with better clarity and separation between lows and highs.

This kind of setup is not very common in this price segment, so it will be interesting to see how well it is tuned in real-world use.

Noise Cancellation And Call Quality

The earbuds support up to 50dB hybrid active noise cancellation, which sounds impressive on paper. You also get multiple ANC levels along with dual transparency modes, so you can control how much outside sound you want.

For calls, Honor is using a triple-microphone system with AI-based noise reduction. This should help in cutting down background noise during calls, especially in busy environments.

Features That Try To Add More Value

Honor is adding a few extra features to make these feel smarter.

You get spatial-style audio for a wider soundstage, though the real impact of this will depend on how well it is implemented.

There is also AI translation support through the Honor AI Space app, along with features like Find My Earbuds and quick pairing.

For gaming and video, a low latency mode is included, which should reduce audio delay.

Battery Life And Charging

Battery life looks like one of the stronger points. Each earbud packs a 45mAh battery, while the case has a 500mAh unit. Honor claims up to 9 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 46  hours in total with the case.

Charging is done via USB Type C. The earbuds take about 55 minutes to charge, while the case takes around 110 minutes.

A quick 10 minute charge can give up to 3 hours of playback, which is useful if you are in a hurry.

Design And Everyday Use

The Earbuds 4 follow a lightweight in-ear design, with each earbud weighing around 5.3 grams. The case comes in at about 38.3 grams.

You get touch and swipe controls, along with wear detection that automatically pauses and resumes playback. They are also IP54 rated, so they should handle dust and light splashes without any issues.

What This Really Means

Honor is not trying to reinvent anything here, but it is clearly trying to offer a well-rounded package.

You get strong specs across sound, ANC, and battery life, along with a few smart features to make the experience feel more complete.

The real test, as always, will come down to tuning, ANC performance in real environments, and call quality. That is where these earbuds will either stand out or blend in.
