IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IP54, the Huawei FreeBuds 5's rating for solids indicates that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
In comparison to the Huawei FreeBuds 5, Energy Sistem Sport 5 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Huawei FreeBuds 5 have a weight of 10.8g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Energy Sistem Sport 5, at 18g
weigh more than the Huawei FreeBuds 5 with a difference of 7.2g
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Huawei FreeBuds 5 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds .
Energy Sistem Sport 5 also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds together.

An earbud foam is made to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Energy Sistem Sport 5 have an earbud foam for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Huawei FreeBuds 5 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Huawei FreeBuds 5's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Energy Sistem Sport 5 and Huawei FreeBuds 5 have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 stay well in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces background sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out .
The Huawei FreeBuds 5 have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size determines the sound produced by the earbuds.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 driver unit is 14mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Huawei FreeBuds 5 by 3mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Huawei FreeBuds 5's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Huawei FreeBuds 5 produce a juicier bass than the Energy Sistem Sport 5
The Huawei FreeBuds 5's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Huawei FreeBuds 5 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Energy Sistem Sport 5

The Huawei FreeBuds 5's battery life is 5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's battery life is
equal to that of the Huawei FreeBuds 5
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the manufacturer, and Huawei FreeBuds 5's case is said to have a full charge of 25 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
