Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
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 the second number of 4 means 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, Soundpeats Mini Pro have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Huawei FreeBuds 5 has a lower liquid rating than Soundpeats Mini Pro
The Huawei FreeBuds 5 have a weight of 10.8g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
Soundpeats Mini Pro, at 9.94g
are lighter than the Huawei FreeBuds 5 with a difference -0.86g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Huawei FreeBuds 5 are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds .
Soundpeats Mini Pro also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the two earbuds together.
Huawei FreeBuds 5 have sweat resistance
Soundpeats Mini Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
An earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Soundpeats Mini Pro have an earbud foam for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.

Both Soundpeats Mini Pro and Huawei FreeBuds 5 have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro sit tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out .
The Huawei FreeBuds 5 have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size determines the loudness of the device.
Soundpeats Mini Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Huawei FreeBuds 5 by 1mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Huawei FreeBuds 5's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery life is
more than that of Huawei FreeBuds 5 by 2 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and Huawei FreeBuds 5's case is said to have a charge of 25 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
Soundpeats Mini Pro's charging case has a battery life of 14 hours,
less than that of Huawei FreeBuds 5 by 11 hours

Soundpeats Mini Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Huawei FreeBuds 5
Soundpeats Mini Pro support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Soundpeats Mini Pro will work fine with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5 support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio.
