Honor has announced its new TWS Bluetooth earbuds that land at a price point just under Rs 2,000. The Honor Choice Earbuds X5 were launched alongside the Honor X9b smartphone and the Honor Choice Watch. We’ve seen quite a few premium features trickle down to the budget earbuds segment and the Honor Choice Earbuds X5 also come with a whole bunch of features at a price tag of Rs 1,999.
To be sure, the earbuds-under-Rs 2,000 segment is quite crowded, with options from gadget makers like boAT (boAt Nirvana Ion TWS Earbuds with 120 hours playback and 'Crystal Bionic Sound' with Dual EQ Modes), OnePlus (the OnePlus Nord Buds 2r True Wireless in Ear Earbuds with Mic and playback up to 38 hours, are currently going for Rs 1,999 on Amazon.in) and realme (realme TechLife Buds T100 Bluetooth Truly Wireless in Ear Earbuds with mic, AI ENC for Calls, Google Fast Pair, and 28 hours playback).
Naturally, Honor had to include features that could compete with these and more branded products:
30db ANC: active noise cancellation (ANC) has become a given for earbuds across price points. The Choice Earbuds X5 feature 30dB of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). The ANC algorithm, combined with an in-ear engineering design, filters and minimises ambient noise. For a hands-free and enhanced calling experience, you can opt for the dual-microphone ENC feature to elevate noise reduction performance.
30 hours plus battery life: these buds offer an extended audio experience with an impressive 35-hour battery life. They offer 9 hours of continuous music playing on a single charge.
Seamless switching: the Choice Earbuds X5 come with advanced connectivity with Honor AI Space and a new dual-mode Bluetooth 5.3, for seamless switching between two devices. This handy feature allows you to effortlessly transition between, for example, a smartphone and a tablet.
Sound stage: these buds are kitted with a 10mm large-size composite diaphragm moving coil for balanced and clear sound, AAC technology ensures crystal-clear beats. You get a choice of three EQ modes to customise your music experience.
Lightweight design: each of these buds weighs 4.26 gm and feels light in your ears. The Choice Earbuds X5 feature an IP54 rating that secures them against dust ingress and water splashes.
The Honor Choice Earbuds X5 cost Rs 1,999.
