These days, headphone manufacturers are falling over each other to offer the best value possible. Once high-end features are now often bundled into more affordable true wireless earbuds. HUAWEI already helped lead the charge of combining value and features with the FreeBuds 4i. These were cheaper than other active noise canceling-capable buds on the market at the time and boasted pretty good-sounding audio. Now, the HUAWEI FreeBuds 5i are in town. They promise improved noise canceling, water resistance, and audio quality, all for just over $100. But has HUAWEI listened and improved upon previous criticisms of the FreeBuds 4i? Find out in our HUAWEI FreeBuds 5i review.

About this HUAWEI FreeBuds 5i review: I tested the HUAWEI FreeBuds 5i over a period of 10 days. The earbuds ran firmware version F001H003C90. I used a OnePlus 9 Pro running OxygenOS 13.0 and Android 13 with HUAWEI AI Life app version HarmonyOS 2.1.0.170. The unit was purchased by Android Authority for this review.
