Xiaomi Buds 5 in for review | Infinium-tech
This is the Xiaomi Buds 5 – a premium pair of buds with tons of tech and a classy yet sturdy design. The buds come in a small box with a USB-A to USB-C cable.
The case has an attractive semi-gloss-semi-matte finish. It is small and has a circular shape, making it comfortable to carry in the pocket.
The Xiaomi Buds 5 have an open-ear design – they don’t have silicone tips to invade your ear canal. These are generally more comfortable to wear for long periods of time and are preferred by people who are not bothered by outside noise.
The Buds 5 still have active noise cancellation, which uses a 3-microphone array with AI to reduce external noise. The wind noise reduction is estimated at 12 meters per second, which is worth it.
The buds use 11mm drivers to deliver sound and you can enjoy AAC, SBC, and LC3 codecs, and both aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless.
The buds are also (not so) IP54 dust and water resistant.
The design of the buds is subtle
The Xiaomi Buds 5 recently went on sale globally, retailing for €99. We will review them soon and report back with our findings.
