Huawei FreeBuds 5 specs leaked in live images

Today, a bunch of live images of the upcoming Huawei FreeBuds 5 appeared and revealed the design along with important specifications of these earbuds.

According to live images coming from a Weibo tipster, Huawei FreeBuds 5 will feature a semi-in ear and semi-on ear design.

The image shows what it really means, as the earpiece rests inside the ear and the droplet base provides grip support from outside the ear. The tipster said that these earbuds are firm to wear and there’s no discomfort.

There is also a revelation of the charging box, which is an ellipse and not round like FreeBuds 4. The scale weight measurement shows that one earpiece weighs 5.5 grams, which stands at 4.1 grams in predecessor.

The overall weight of the charging box is 44.4 grams, once again, the weight is increased in comparison to the FreeBuds 4 at 38 grams. This indicates an increased battery backup. As the tipster showcase, these earbuds may run up to 5 hours on a single charge for both earpieces.

This is a ton of settings screenshot that comes in front of us. It shows that Huawei FreeBuds 5 will support adaptive environmental noise reduction and LDAC sound quality. It also equips various customizations option available to change swipe, double tap and hold actions on the earbuds.

LDAC is a new audio technology from Sony that allows you to enjoy high-quality wireless audio via Bluetooth. With 3x the data transmitted, LDAC provides an enhanced wireless listening experience for all your music.

However, it’s surprising for open semi-in-ear earbuds to bring up the noise cancellation tech on board.
