Huawei's premium TWS with waterdrop shaped design is now available in Nepal

Huawei launched a host of new products this Dashain, including its latest premium TWS, the FreeBuds 5. Successor to the FreeBuds 4, the hearable comes with a one-of-a-kind design for earbuds. So, let's get into the specifics of Huawei FreeBuds 5, along with its official price in Nepal.

Huawei FreeBuds 5 Overview:

Design

The first thing that sets FreeBuds 5 apart from its predecessor or any other TWS in the market is its design. While it retains a semi-in-ear fit, the TWS now has an unusual curve, which Huawei says is an inspiration taken from “Rupert’s Tears." The stem is now fatter, while the earpiece side adapts a water droplet shape. Hauwei has still managed to keep the weight at 5.4 grams, though. The curved design is said to provide an ergonomic fit as per the ear canals of the user. Likewise, the earbuds also bag an IP54 rating against dust and water drips. However, there's no IP rating for the charging case. It is available in three color options: Ceramic White, Coral Orange, and Frost Silver.

Audio

The wireless earbuds house an 11mm driver under the hood. It is accompanied by the dual magnetic circuit architecture that has a 30% increased low-frequency sensitivity up to 16Hz as compared to its predecessor. On top of that, the Sound Pressure Turbo Technology allows more airflow for bass enhancement, as per the company. Moreover, the earbuds feature Audio Vivid, three spatial audio modes, and dual HD audio certification. You also get support for High-Definition L2HC and LDAC codecs, while Huawei has included a hybrid active noise cancellation to cancel out background noises on the earbuds for clear calls.
