Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second 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.
Compared to the Huawei FreeBuds 5, Tozo T10S have a rating of IPX8 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 Tozo T10S
Huawei FreeBuds 5 have a weight of 10.8g . We prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Tozo T10S, at 10g
are lighter than the Huawei FreeBuds 5 with a difference -0.8g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables linking any part of the device together, Huawei FreeBuds 5 are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds .
Tozo T10S also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the two earbuds .
Huawei FreeBuds 5 are resistant to sweat
Tozo T10S's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Huawei FreeBuds 5 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Tozo T10S and Huawei FreeBuds 5 have stereo speakers
Tozo T10S are rated 1meters any depth more than that they will be damaged. Devices that have a higher depth rating are better for swimming.
ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Tozo T10S stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out .
Huawei FreeBuds 5 have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the device.
Tozo T10S driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Huawei FreeBuds 5 by 3mm
, many people have a misconception 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 a particular audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Tozo T10S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Huawei FreeBuds 5 can produce a juicier bass than the Tozo T10S
Huawei FreeBuds 5's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Tozo T10S's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
Huawei FreeBuds 5 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Tozo T10S
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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Tozo T10S's battery life is
more than that of Huawei FreeBuds 5 by 3 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and Huawei FreeBuds 5's case is said to have a full charge of 25 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
Tozo T10S's charging case has a battery life of 28 hours,
more than that of Huawei FreeBuds 5 by 3 hours

equal to that of the Huawei FreeBuds 5
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Tozo T10S have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Huawei FreeBuds 5
Tozo T10S support AAC, a codec 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.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Tozo T10S will work well with your iPad. If you are planning 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 can reach a high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio.
