BUZZ BEAT MEDIA

This summer, HUAWEI is turning up the volume on fitness as it teamed up with Pretty Huge, one of the country’s premier training and sports facilities. HUAWEI took over the Pretty Huge facility at SM Aura to let athletes and community members gain firsthand experience with the HUAWEI FreeArc until May 30, 2025. 

From bootcamp-style training to intense yoga classes, the latest audio innovation from HUAWEI held its own against even the most punishing summer sweat sessions at Pretty Huge.

HUAWEI Heats Up Summer at Pretty Huge with Groundbreaking Audio Tech

This partnership reflects HUAWEI’s firm commitment to leveraging technology to promote holistic wellness and healthy living in local communities. By teaming up with Pretty Huge, HUAWEI brings its innovative technology into a space where fitness, community, and performance perfectly intersect. “We’re proud to partner with HUAWEI,” said Justine Carillo, Pretty Huge’s Corporate Events Manager. “Their technology has helped our community of athletes and fitness enthusiasts here at Pretty Huge train more effectively, while staying engaged, motivated, and connected.”

For HUAWEI, the partnership with Pretty Huge is part of a broader initiative to promote and support active lifestyles for communities in the Philippines. This strengthens the leading global tech brand’s commitment to push the boundaries of innovation to nurture healthier, stronger communities.

Open-Ear Comfort and Secure Fit, Designed for Every Summer Movement

Pretty Huge athletes were immediately impressed with the HUAWEI FreeArc’s secure and comfortable fit. “The HUAWEI FreeArc really stays on no matter how hard you move,” remarked Ebong Sonido who tried on the audio device during their training session. With the HUAWEI FreeArc’s open-ear comfort and secure fit, you get unmatched stability thanks to its C-Bridge design with 140° Optimal Triangle shape and gravity-balanced architecture perfect for staying in place during explosive HIIT sessions and rapid-fire drills at Pretty Huge.

“I’ve never worn earbuds that felt this light and secure,” said Ebong. “I can run, jump, and hang upside down during training, and they just stay in place.” The earbuds’ S-shaped curves fit to the natural ear contours of the Pretty Huge athletes, while the droplet-shaped earhooks are fine-tuned to fit every ear shape, enhancing the earbuds’ snugness.

Aside from its secure fit, Pretty Huge members also pointed out the HUAWEI FreeArc’s comfortable, and breathable feel. “I barely feel them during my workouts,” claimed Ebong. “They feel so comfortable, I forget I’m even wearing them. It’s a total game-changer.” This is thanks to the hypoallergenic, skin-friendly liquid silicone material of the HUAWEI FreeArc. Its 0.7mm Ni-Ti shape-memory alloy easily fits any ear shape, which makes them more secure and more comfortable. Pretty Huge athletes who tried on the HUAWEI FreeArc said they hardly felt any discomfort even after wearing the earbuds during extended sessions. 

Sterling Sound Quality to Fuel Every Rep with Summer Beats

Whether they were deep in a playlist while working out or taking an important call in the midst of a busy training day at the facility, the Pretty Huge members were able to enjoy sterling sound quality from the HUAWEI FreeArc. “It feels like my playlist was cheering me on,” stated Ralph Combalicer. “The bass is powerful, but I can still hear my coach when I need to.”

The HUAWEI FreeArc has a smart antenna that keeps it connected up to 400 meters, perfect for the large training areas of Pretty Huge. With a 17x12mm highly sensitive audio driver, 4-layer noise cancelling, and a dual-mic layout, the HUAWEI FreeArc allowed the Pretty Huge athletes to take private, crystal-clear calls no matter how busy the facility got during group classes or training sessions.

Ralph added, “The sound quality is amazing. Even during group sessions with loud music, I could still hear my own playlist clearly.” Ralph also found the open-ear design of the HUAWEI FreeArc really helpful. “I love that I can stay aware of what’s going on around me while still enjoying my music is a big plus for safety,” he said. Multi-EQ modes let Pretty Huge athletes tailor their sound to their needs, while the 4m/s wind-noise resistance kept conversations sharp and the music undisturbed even at windy spots. 

IP57 Water Resistance, Perfect for Sweaty Summer Sessions

Training in the Philippines’ tropical heat was no problem for the Pretty Huge Community with the HUAWEI FreeArc. Whether they were powering through HIIT circuits, sprinting around the facility, or getting splashed, the HUAWEI FreeArc kept up with their every workout. 

“I sweat a lot during training, but that didn’t change the quality and performance of the HUAWEI FreeArc,” said Ralph. “It’s the kind of reliability you want from your devices.” they also said. As HUAWEI’s first TWS earbuds with IP57 water resistance, the HUAWEI FreeArc was ready for sweat-drenched workouts, even light water exposure, without missing a beat.

Smart Features for Convenience

Pretty Huge athletes found it easier to lock in and focus on their sessions with the long battery life of the HUAWEI FreeArc. “The battery life on this is another level! No matter how long I use it while I’m training, by the end of it it still has charge,” shared Ebong. The HUAWEI FreeArc offers 7 hours of audio playback on a single charge, and up to 28 hours with its case. A quick 10-minute charge gives the earbuds enough juice for 3 hours of playback.

With Dual Device Connection supported on the HUAWEI FreeArc, Pretty Huge members were able to effortlessly switch between different devices. “I tried it with my watch and then switched over to my phone. There was no lag, no hassle at all,” said Ebong. Control is effortless with the HUAWEI FreeArc. With multi-area gestures, Pretty Huge members could easily manage their listening experience without having to pull out their phones or touch their smartwatches. “The gesture controls are amazing. It’s really useful during training,” claimed Ebong. “I don’t even have to touch my phone at all unless needed.”
