Huawei\u2019s latest budget-friendly true wireless earbuds doesn\u2019t scrimp on crucial audio needs for the modern listener, having packed several highly valuable everyday features into a single, affordable package.<\/p>\n
The company just launched the Huawei Freebuds SE 5 Max, combining long battery life, support for high-quality audio codecs, and active noise cancellation (ANC) technology for just S$58. Details below.<\/p>\n

The Huawei FreeBuds SE 5 Max comes off the overall success of Huawei\u2019s true wireless earbuds. As an agnostic product that\u2019s not chained to Android, iOS, or Huawei\u2019s Mobile Services, the brand\u2019s FreeBuds SE series has managed to ship a total of 30 million units worldwide (as of September this year).<\/p>\n
In this iteration, the FreeBuds SE 5 Max adopts a semi-transparent, high-gloss aesethetic that represents its mainstream appeal. Each bud is also only 4.3g and ergonimically designed with the data from 10,000 ear profiles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Huawei claimed a total of 80 hours battery life when you include the charging case\u2019s battery, but that\u2019s with mixed use of standby, ANC on, and ANC off. If ANC is switched on, the earbuds lasts 7 hours before needing a recharge from the case.<\/p>\n\n

Its -52dB multi-mode ANC has four settings: Ultra mode is for really noisy commutes, General for shopping centres and caf\u00e9s, while Cosy is for quieter places like libraries and offices. The fourth Dynamic mode uses automatic sensing to pick and adjust via these ANC levels.<\/p>\n
Another key feature is LDAC codec support. This allows the FreeBuds SE 5 Max to put out 990Kbps bitrates (3x more than regular SBC Bluetooth audio). However, completing this high-quality audio loop also requires a smartphone that has LDAC compatibility (which is pretty much all modern, flagship-grade Android phones).<\/p>\n
If you have Huawei Audio Connect installed on an iOS, Android, or EMUI (HarmonyOS) device, the buds also support Cross-System Dual-Device Connection via Bluetooth 6.0, feeding both audio sources into your ears at once.<\/p>\n
Finally, the buds are rated with IP55 resistance against water and dust.<\/p>\n
