Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro

Xiaomi is a long-time player in the wireless earbuds market, and the Buds 5 Pro are its latest flagship offering. As such, they bring a jam-packed set of features, including triple drivers, adaptive noise cancellation, aptX Lossless streaming, dual device pairing and head tracking, just to name a few.

We’ve already reviewed the semi in-ear Xiaomi Buds 5, which impressed us with its sound and rich feature set, and we are now turning our attention to their Pro counterpart.

The visual resemblance between the two Buds 5 models is striking. The obvious difference is that the Pro go for the traditional in-ear design with good old silicone tips. This addition plays a major role in the fit and seal around your ear canal, which was one pitfall on the regular Buds 5.

As you’d expect, the Pro moniker suggests a more capable device, which is the case here. Buds 5 Pro offer better sound, improved call quality and better battery life. So, is the higher asking price worth it? We’ve spent the last two weeks with the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro and these are our findings.
