Huawei has recently unveiled its latest generation of wireless earbuds, just about two months after the introduction of the FreeBuds 7i. Following the launch of the Mate 70 Air, the FreeBuds Pro 5 isn’t available for purchase yet. However, the company has started taking reservations in China, with a complete launch expected later this month.
Key Features and Comparison
While waiting for the release, Huawei has shared some information about its answer to Apple’s well-liked AirPods Pro 3 (currently priced at $249 on Amazon). The FreeBuds Pro 5 will be the first wireless earbuds to utilize NearLink Audio technology, which Huawei has previously claimed will start a ‘new era of lossless audio’.
Technical Advancements
In practical terms, NearLink Audio is expected to offer the FreeBuds Pro 5 a transmission rate of up to 12 Mbps and will support the L2HC audio codec. Additionally, it is said that NearLink Audio can lower power usage by as much as 40% compared to ‘traditional solutions.’ Sadly, Huawei hasn’t provided more details at this time.
Battery Life and Design
Despite this, it appears that the FreeBuds Pro 5 may have a longer battery life than the current FreeBuds Pro 4, which offers up to 33 hours of use when including the charging case. In terms of design, the FreeBuds Pro 5 seems a bit smaller than the previous model, although it features changed positions for its noise-cancelling microphones.
