In terms of design, the FreeBuds 5i headphone box is quite luxurious, especially the blue version with a case with a polka dot design in the shape of a stone with a textured surface created by inkjet printing technology.
However, the case of the pair of headphones is quite ordinary with a glossy plastic layer that has nothing special.
In return, this headset weighs only 4.9g each and is 7mm shorter than the previous version FreeBuds 4i, so it is more compact and has overcome the disadvantages of being difficult to pull out of the case.
The sound on the Huawei FreeBuds 5i is impressive! The earbuds are certified for high-quality wireless audio with Sony's LDAC codec on board, allowing you to.
stream audio up to 24-bit/96kHz files over Bluetooth at up to 990Kbps (the highest rate supported by a current codec).
Along with that are the "algorithms" designed by Huawei to produce the most realistic sound possible. Inside each earphone is a.
10mm dynamic driver and EQ equalizers that allow users to quickly adjust the sound through the AI Life app, such as increasing/decreasing bass or treble.

Notably, the noise cancellation technology, FreeBuds 5i has dual noise cancellation technology that uses both inward-facing and outward-facing microphones.
This technology not only detects external noise to eliminate but also picks up additional noise in the ear, eliminating sound levels as high as 42dB.
The headphones have three ANC modes (Ultra, General and Cozy) that allow users to adjust the ANC settings depending on the situation, usage environment.
Along with that, the AI neural network algorithm also helps distinguish the owner's voice from other surrounding sounds.
This is quite useful for users when chatting through while moving on the road, in headphones crowded and noisy shopping malls.
FreeBuds 5i can play music continuously for 6 hours after a full charge with ANC on.
The total battery life is 28 hours when combined with the charging case, which means the charging case provides more than 3 additional charges for the headset.
These parameters are impressive very compared to the selling price. In particular, fast charging technology allows charging the headset for 15 minutes for 4 hours of use.

Compared to Sony's high-end headphones or many competitors, Huawei FreeBuds 5i also scores with IP54 dust and water resistance standards. IP54 standard helps the headphones operate safely in dusty, sandy and humid environments.
One interesting feature is that the FreeBuds 5i allows you to control the camera to take photos on your smartphone, by double tapping on the headset. However, users will need a Huawei smartphone to be able to take advantage of this feature.
Overall, the Huawei FreeBuds 5i is a rare headset under 2 million VND that harmonizes all the elements of a compact design, dust and water resistance, good sound quality, smart noise cancellation, and strong battery. Except for the not-so-special headphone shell and the touch operation on the earcup to control music that takes time to get used to, there is nothing else to criticize about this headset.
