Huawei recently revealed a diverse range of new products, including the Mate 80 series, the Mate X7 foldable, and the MatePad Edge tablet. Among these announcements, the company also introduced its latest true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds, the FreeBuds Pro 5.
The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 5 are high-end TWS earbuds featuring enhanced active noise cancellation (ANC) and lossless audio quality. They are powered by a new custom Kirin A3 chip and include dual drivers for superior sound performance.
Each earbud incorporates an ultra-linear dual-magnetic bass driver complemented by a micro-planar tweeter. Leveraging NearLink E2.0 technology alongside the Kirin A3 chipset, the earbuds support lossless audio streaming with speeds up to 4.6Mbps.
The FreeBuds Pro 5 support multiple audio codecs, including AAC, SBC, LDAC, and L2HC. Their in-ear, stem-style design includes silicone eartips, while the charging case features a sleek pill-shaped design.
Connectivity options include Bluetooth 6.0 with multi-device support. The charging case has an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, and the earbuds themselves carry a higher IP57 rating.
Regarding battery life, Huawei states the FreeBuds Pro 5 offer up to 8 hours of playback on a single charge with ANC disabled, extending to 33 hours when combined with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is up to 5 hours per charge and 22 hours total with the case.
The earbuds come in four colors: Earth Gold, Frost Silver, Snow White, and Sky Blue—the latter featuring a vegan leather finish.
The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 5 are currently available for purchase on Huawei’s official China website, priced at CNY 1,449 (approximately $205).
