Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Huawei FreeBuds 5i
✓
Skullcandy Indy Fuel ✗
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.

Skullcandy Indy Fuel driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Huawei FreeBuds 5i by 4mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Huawei FreeBuds 5i
20Hz
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 20Hz
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Huawei FreeBuds 5i
40000Hz
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 20000Hz
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
Huawei FreeBuds 5i can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Skullcandy Indy Fuel
Sound Pressure Level
Huawei FreeBuds 5i
✗
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 105dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Skullcandy Indy Fuel's measurement is 105dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
