Overall Score 6.8 Represents average audio ecosystem compatibility score.
IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IP54, the Huawei FreeBuds 5i'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.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i have a weight of 9.2g . We prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires linking any part of the device together, Huawei FreeBuds 5i are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i are resistant to sweat
Huawei FreeBuds 5i have stereo speakers, what this means is that Huawei FreeBuds 5i's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i sit well in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise while preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer 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 have to charge the device less often.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Huawei FreeBuds 5i's case is said to have a charge of 20.5 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
It requires 1 hours to fully charge the Huawei FreeBuds 5i's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i's battery power is 55mAh, battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging state of your device and case.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i 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.
Latency refers to the time it takes for the audio signal to be transmitted to your earbuds. Huawei FreeBuds 5i have a latency of 94ms, a lower latency reduces audio lag and is particularly important when playing games or watching videos.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out noise from the desired sound.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i microphone sensitivity is measured at -47dBV/Pa. The extent of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can pick up.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises to still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the earbuds can detect when they are removed from your ears .
When lost in a room, or can't easily find them in your bag, the Huawei FreeBuds 5i support the find earbuds feature.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i support fast charging. Commonly, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the time it takes to fully charge the earbuds.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i have a multipoint of 2 connections, the multipoint feature allows you connect to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. For example, you can seemlessly switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i have a mute function, they have the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
With the Huawei FreeBuds 5i, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the earbuds.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i support voice prompts. With voice prompts, you receive information through audio messages, like if there is an issue with the connection.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i come with their own special case. Carrying earphones openly, or placing them inside your bag without a cover may easily damage them.
