These half-in-ear earbuds are Hi-Res Audio and Qualcomm aptX Lossless certified, promising a high-end listening experience.
For noise cancellation, the Buds 5 comes with adaptive active noise cancellation (ANC) with various modes, one of which is an AI-based adaptive mode that adapts to surrounding noise levels.
