I love audio network disassembly summary
Through detailed disassembly, we found that Huawei's FREE LACE wireless headset has made many innovative designs. The first is charging, and the headset is smashed into two. Through the current mainstream USB Type-C male and female links, it can be charged. It is also possible to transmit audio data at both ends. The idea is very clever, and when you go out, you can get a less charging cable.
In terms of circuit, Huawei's FREE LACE wireless headset uses the Chinese core BES Hengxuan BES2300, which is a highly integrated Bluetooth audio SOC single-chip master that supports the latest Bluetooth 5.0. In addition, Huawei's deeply customized firmware implements the HiPair flash connection function. This chip is also widely used in the Huawei family's TWS true wireless headset. It is a classic Bluetooth chip with a powerful function.
In terms of structure, the separated earphones are placed on the circuit board at one end and the battery is placed at one end. There is no visual difference, and there is no sense of contradiction in the design, and the processing complements each other. It is worth mentioning that the antenna design of Huawei's headphones is very good. The whole antenna system is made up of PCB wiring, and the male metal shell of USB Type-C is combined. There is no additional volume, and the limited space is rationally utilized. stand up.
