They may look strange, but the Free Buds 5 are excellent wireless earphones with an open fit that have a lot to offer - and at a reasonable price.

With the Sony WF-1000XM5, the best all-rounder takes the test winner crown. The in-ears combine very good sound with strong ANC and many practical functions. The Liberty 4 NC from Sound- core proves that cheap doesn't mean bad, holding its own in a strong test field and deservedly receiving the price-performance seal of approval.

The Huawei FreeBuds 5 and the JBL Live Flex are great fun! Despite the open fit, the active noise cancellation manages the feat of reducing ambient noise. Both in-ears sound really good. However, JBL is clearly ahead in terms of battery life and the associated app.

Another positive aspect is that Huawei is sticking to the open-fit design, which is almost a unique selling point.

Some models shine with super-long battery life, others as a headset in the home office. You can find your personal test winner with the help of our database.

It's not easy to draw a conclusion. Because the Huawei FreeBuds 5 do a few things differently. The Chinese manufacturer does without an in-ear attachment and relies on a very unconventional design. If you like both, you'll get solid in-ears that are convincing all along the line in terms of sound and operation...
