Huawei Freebuds Pro 5

Coming from a 50 euro JBL tune budsawei Freebuds Pro 5. My impressions so far:

  • battery life is so-so. The JBL's were unstoppable, I don't remember them going out of charge ever. But the Huawei's are dead after 4 hours.

  • I find the sonud quality not much better than the JBL's. I also have Sennheiser Momentum 4, they sound very different, really excellent, but the Huawei's are just ok. I don't mind though, it's good enough and I guess I am not an audio fanatic.

  • noise cancellation, ANC. Wow, really superb. The JBL's had a switch in the app that says ANC on/off, but I could not hear the difference. The Sennheisers have really good ANC, but these Huawei's are in a different league. Total silence, amazing.

  • connection: no complaints, works fine.
