The fifth generation of Huawei FreeBuds wireless in-ear headphones with advanced Hybrid ANC technology, Hi-Res Audio Wireless sound quality, and a special low latency gaming mode for comfortable gaming and watching videos. Compared to the previous model, the Huawei Freebuds 5i have become a little more compact and lighter, and this also applies to the charging case. At the same time, the battery capacity inside the case has almost doubled - from 215 mAh to 410 mAh, which provides up to 28 hours of battery life (without active noise reduction).

Thanks to fast charging technology, just 15 minutes in the case will give the headphones up to 4 hours of music playback. The key difference between the design of the headphones themselves from the previous version is a shorter "leg", which definitely will not interfere and cling to long hair, a high collar or scarf. Designed for users who choose a high-quality sounding Bluetooth headset that allows them to enjoy music in noisy environments (on a busy street, on public transport or on an airplane). This model can be used with any smartphone running both Android and iOS. In any case, for full-fledged work, you need the Huawei AI Life application, which allows you to fine-tune and update the software. Declared high-quality protection against dust and water IP54.

Music as it is

Huawei FreeBuds 5i headphones, despite the average price, have impressive capabilities and provide Hi-Res Audio sound. They are capable of covering a wide range of frequencies (20 - 40,000 Hz), and using the proprietary application for Android and iOS, the user can adjust the sound according to their own preferences or genre of music using an equalizer. Lag-free data transfer, including in game mode, is ensured by Sony's LDAC codec. The model supports multi-connection and allows you to quickly select a sound source in the AI Life application. There, the user can configure the auto-pause function when removing the earphone from the ear. The set includes a set of ear pads, which ensures a comfortable and tight fit of the headphones, preventing discomfort and sound distortion.

Adaptive Noise Canceling

The quality of TWS headphones depends significantly on the noise reduction system. In the case of Huawei FreeBuds 5i, it is available in several modes, including custom (ultra, general, cozy) and adaptive mode. Adaptive mode is controlled by artificial intelligence algorithms, which ensures that there is no extraneous noise while listening to music and clear voice transmission when using a microphone. The system analyzes the surrounding environment, determines the noise level and filters out all unwanted sounds, such as wind, engine noise and conversations of others.

The battery life of the headphones and charging case is 28 hours, which may seem a little low for this price category. However, a quick charge of 15 minutes provides 4 hours of playback. The earbuds also support a search function, but it is only available for Huawei devices, which limits its functionality.
