Huawei unveiled its latest TWS earphones, called FreeBuds 5 in China last month alongside half a dozen other products. And today, the company introduced the hearables in the European market as well. Debuting as the successor to 2021’s FreeBuds 4, these new earbuds bring a unique waterdrop design that looks like no other. There’s also support for spatial audio, active noise cancelation (ANC), and dynamic EQ tuning. Let’s have a closer look at the details.

Huawei FreeBuds 5 Specs & Features

The FreeBuds 5 bring all the usual features you’d see in premium wireless earbuds, but what’s striking about them is the design. Straying far from the stemmed and non-stemmed earbuds, Huawei chose to go for a unique waterdrop design. These in-ear type earphones have no silicon tip in order to create more surface area for the skin.

Talking about the specifications, the FreeBuds 5 come with support for the L2HC and LDAC codecs, allowing hi-res audio streaming. They offer spatial audio on HarmonyOS 3 devices and bring active noise cancelation (ANC) and dynamic EQ tuning. Huawei claims to use an ear canal adaptive algorithm that offers better noise reduction based on the shape of the user’s ear.

The hearables are equipped with an 11mm driver unit and use Bluetooth 5.2 for connectivity. There’s support for multi-point pairing as well. The earbuds are claimed to offer a playtime of around 5 hours that can be extended to up to 30 hours with the charging case. The case charges through USB-C and wireless charging support is also there.

Huawei FreeBuds 5 Price & Availability

The FreeBuds 5 from Huawei will be available in the United Kingdom at EUR 159 starting April 27. They can be purchased through the Huawei Store and select retailers. The earbuds will be available in silver, white, and orange colors.
