Honor has officially taken the wraps off its new Earbuds 5e, launched together with the top of the line HONOR X80 Pro Max smartphone. The Earbuds 5e target the budget true wireless segment, featuring active noise cancellation, decent audio performance, and a comfortable design at an accessible price point.
Inside, the HONOR Earbuds 5e use 12mm diamond like dynamic drivers to produce audio that is crisp and well defined. They also come with LHDC 5.0 codec support and Hi Res Audio Gold certification, so music, podcasts and voice calls come through with good weight, detail and accuracy to the source material.
Comfort was clearly a priority in the design. They use a semi in-ear shape that sits gently in the ear canal without creating pressure or sealing it off completely. Air can still circulate, meaning you can keep them on for hours on end without that tired, sore feeling. For the price point, Active Noise Cancellation works better than expected. It noticeably dulls constant background hum and chatter, letting you focus more on what you are listening to.
