Product details

The design of the earbuds was developed based on numerous ear canal models to ensure an optimal fit for various ear shapes. The result is an enhanced look and reduced strain on the ears for a particularly comfortable fit. The improved weight distribution ensures a more stable fit.

The rim in an elegant gold tone conveys a metallic shine. Combined with the unique design, it creates a visual experience that completes your acoustic journey.

The coordinated color scheme provides a harmonious overall appearance, uniting technology and aesthetics to highlight your personal style.

The dynamic 11 mm dual-magnet driver with enhanced magnetic field strength, in conjunction with a subwoofer tube and advanced software tuning, delivers powerful bass and a wide soundstage. The black polymer coating optimizes the highs and achieves a more balanced audio performance.

The Xiaomi Buds 5 support Qualcomm aptX Lossless Audio Encoding with 16 bit/44.1 kHz HD Lossless Audio and reduced transmission loss. Hi-Fi audio captures and reproduces all nuances and details.

An integrated sensor in the earbuds detects your movements and adjusts dynamically to provide you with an intense 3D listening experience.

It supports five EQ presets: Harman AudioEFX, voice enhancement, treble boost, bass reduction, classical, as well as custom EQ settings for a realistic, professional audio performance.

The three integrated microphones in the earbuds and the AI-based algorithm specifically reduce background noise during calls, enabling clear communication even in noisy environments.

Rank 10 out of 16Stiftung WarentestBluetooth-Kopfhörer im TestReleaseMarch 2025

Also new in Stiftung Warentest's constantly updated headphone database: 16 current Bluetooth headphones - including in-ears, open-ears and headband models. One in-ear reduces ambient noise perfectly, another fails in this test point. The devices also perform very differently in terms of wearing comfort: many fit well or very well, others fall out of the ear easily...

Smartphone MagazinSingle testReleaseFebruary 2025

Elegant and extremely lightweight headphones with excellent sound. However, the battery life - without the charging case - is only average in our opinion.

The Xiaomi Buds 5 offer an exciting overall package in the price segment below 150 euros thanks to the high-resolution audio codecs, the very pleasant wearing comfort and well-implemented spatial audio. The days when Xiaomi TWS were characterised by Chinese voice feedback or a lack of app integration are long gone...
