1. Seamless curves refer to the earbuds themselves, not the charging case.


2. The battery life data comes from Huawei lab tests. Charging the earbuds for five minutes sustains 2 hours of listening with ANC disabled. With multiple charges in the case, the earbuds sustain up to 30 hours of listening with ANC disabled. Actual usage shall prevail.


3. Given the same power, HUAWEI FreeBuds 5’s low-frequency sensitivity is 30% higher than that of HUAWEI FreeBuds 4. Data comes from Huawei labs.


4. Frequency range data comes from Huawei lab tests under the LDAC™ HD audio codec for Bluetooth connections.


5. The test data comes from Huawei lab tests. Actual experience varies depending on the ear shape, usage habits, and wearing status.


6. The Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification is based on the LDAC™ HD transmission protocol, and the LDAC™ protocol is mandatory for the playback device. LDAC™ and LDAC logo are trademarks of Sony Corporation.


7. The actual ANC performance is dependent on ear shape and wearing status. Wearing the earbuds securely will help ensure optimal ANC performance. In addition, ANC performance can be better perceived at low frequencies, such as when you hear street noise from cars and buses, or air conditioning in an office, and may not be as distinct at medium and high frequencies, such as when there are voices, announcements, whistling, or sounds of hard objects coming into contact with each other.


8. The battery life and charging data come from Huawei lab tests. During the tests, audio in AAC format was played at 50% volume level and with ANC disabled. The default settings were used for other features. Actual results may vary depending on the volume, audio source, environmental interference, product features, and usage habits.


9. The touch sensor area is the area between the upper part of the earbud and the handle when the earbud is being worn. You can set more features in the AI Life app. Actual features may vary.


10. IP54 dust- and splash-resistance only applies to the earbuds themselves, not the charging case. This device is splash-, dust-, and water-resistant under normal conditions. When tested under controlled laboratory conditions, the earbuds were rated IP54 under the IEC standard 60529. Splash, dust, and water resistance are not permanent, and performance may deteriorate due to daily wear-and-tear. Avoid charging the device in damp environments. Liquid damage is not covered under the warranty.


11. The pop-up feature is only supported on phones and tablets running EMUI10 or later, and on selected PCs with PC Manager 13.0.2.300 or later.


12. Actual latency may vary depending on the specific phone model, system version, game type, game version, and other factors.

IP rating

Earbuds: IP54 dust- and splash-resistance
Charging case: not water-resistant
Note: This product does not offer pro-level water-proof device, but is splash-, water-, and dust-resistant during normal use. It has been subject to lab tests under controlled conditions, which indicates that it meets the IP54 level. Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance may decrease over time with normal use. Avoid charging the device in damp environments. Liquid damage is not covered under the warranty.
