HMD Dub X50 Pro

Manufacturer: HMD

The HMD Dub X50 Pro are fully wireless in-ear earbuds designed for everyday use, offering a cable-free listening experience with a compact charging case. With active noise cancellation and passive noise isolation working together, they aim to cut out unwanted background sound during calls or music playback. The earbuds carry an IPX4 rating, making them resistant to sweat, and come with a travel bag included in the box.

On the technical side, the HMD Dub X50 Pro run on Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint connectivity supporting up to two devices simultaneously, and a maximum wireless range of 10 meters. Battery life reaches 15.8 hours per charge, with the 600 mAh charging case extending total playback to 44.2 hours. Fast charging is supported via USB Type-C, and a full charge takes around 2 hours. The four-microphone array includes noise cancellation for cleaner call quality, while additional features include ambient sound mode, auto ear detection, voice prompts, and a mute function.

Pros
  • Active noise cancellation combined with passive noise isolation provides two layers of sound blocking for a more focused listening experience
  • Multipoint connectivity allows simultaneous pairing with two devices, making it easy to switch between a phone and a laptop without re-pairing
  • The charging case holds 600 mAh and extends total battery availability to 44.2 hours, reducing how often the case itself needs to be recharged
  • Fast charging support via USB Type-C means less downtime when the earbuds run low
  • A four-microphone array with noise cancellation is well-suited for call clarity in noisy environments
  • Ambient sound mode and in/on-ear detection add useful hands-free convenience for everyday use
Cons
  • No wireless charging support for the case, requiring a cable every time the case needs power
  • The 10-meter maximum Bluetooth range is limited and may cause dropouts if the connected device is not kept nearby
  • No support for advanced audio codecs such as LDAC, aptX, or AAC, which restricts high-quality wireless audio transmission
  • Spatial audio and Dolby Atmos are absent, limiting immersive audio capabilities for compatible content
  • No find device feature, which can be inconvenient if an earbud is misplaced
Who is this for?

These earbuds are a solid fit for users who need reliable audio during workouts or active daily routines, thanks to their IPX4 sweat resistance and secure in-ear design. The combination of active noise cancellation and a four-microphone noise-canceling array makes them well-suited for people who frequently take calls or work in noisy environments. Those who regularly switch between a phone and a laptop will also find the two-device multipoint connectivity genuinely practical, and the 44.2-hour total battery life with the case means they hold up well across extended use without needing frequent recharging.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who prioritize high-resolution or lossless wireless audio will find these earbuds limiting, as there is no support for LDAC, aptX, or AAC codecs, which are commonly used to transmit higher-quality audio over Bluetooth. Those who rely on immersive audio formats for movies or gaming will also miss the absence of spatial audio and Dolby Atmos. Additionally, users who frequently misplace their earbuds may find the lack of a find device feature frustrating, and anyone seeking wireless case charging will need to look elsewhere given that only wired USB Type-C charging is available.

Final Verdict

Overall, the Dub X50 Pro are a capable and feature-complete pair of wireless earbuds for users whose priorities center on call quality, battery endurance, and day-to-day practicality.
