Can the earbuds be used separately?

The right earbud can be used independently of the left earbud on almost any True-Wireless headphone. This is also the case with both devices from this comparison. Rarely, the left headphone can be used separately, because they work in dependency of the right ear plug. Mostly the right headphone is the so called master. This special function is only supported by the HUAWEI FreeBuds 3.

Are the headphones waterproof?

Depending on the certification, the headphones are only water- or sweat-resistant. However, a higher number in the certification is generally better. With Bluetooth headphones there is also the problem that Bluetooth is disturbed by water. Thus, the use when swimming is only possible with special headphones.
