Honor Choice Earbuds X5 Pro

Name: Honor Choice Earbuds X5 Pro
Brand: Honor
SKU: 5573

Manufacturer: Honor

The Honor Choice Earbuds X5 Pro are true wireless in-ear earbuds offering a well-rounded feature set for everyday listening and calls. Built around active noise cancellation alongside passive noise isolation, they are designed to handle a range of environments, from commutes to work sessions. An IP54 rating gives them sweat resistance, and the inclusion of a travel bag adds a practical touch for users on the move.

On the technical side, the earbuds use a 12 mm driver covering a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20000 Hz, with spatial audio support adding another dimension to playback. Connectivity runs on Bluetooth 5.3 with LDAC and AAC codec support, a maximum wireless range of 10 m, and multipoint pairing for up to two devices simultaneously. Battery life stands at 9 hours per charge, with the charging case extending that to a combined 31 hours; fast charging is supported via USB Type-C, and a full charge takes 1.5 hours. Six microphones with noise cancellation handle call clarity, and features like in-ear detection, ambient sound mode, a find device function, and a mute option round out a versatile package.

Pros

Active noise cancellation combined with passive noise isolation provides two layers of sound blocking for varied environments
Six microphones with noise-canceling capability support cleaner call audio in louder surroundings
LDAC codec support enables higher-quality wireless audio transmission alongside AAC
The charging case extends total playback to 31 hours, reducing how often the case itself needs to be charged
Multipoint connection allows simultaneous pairing with two devices, useful for switching between a phone and laptop
A broad feature set includes ambient sound mode, in-ear detection, a find device function, mute, voice prompts, and a travel bag in the box

Cons

No wireless charging support means the case must always be charged via cable
Fast pairing and NFC pairing are both absent, requiring a manual Bluetooth pairing process each time
No aptX codec variants are supported, limiting compatibility with devices that rely on aptX for optimized audio
Wingtips are not included, so users who need extra stability during physical activity have no built-in option for it
Maximum Bluetooth range is limited to 10 m, which may be restrictive in larger spaces

Who is this for?

The Honor Choice Earbuds X5 Pro are well-suited to everyday commuters and remote workers who need reliable noise management on the go, thanks to their combination of active noise cancellation and passive noise isolation. The 31-hour total battery life with fast charging makes them a practical choice for users who travel frequently or go long stretches without easy access to a charger. Those who regularly switch between devices will also benefit from multipoint pairing across two devices, and the six noise-canceling microphones make them a capable option for users who take a high volume of calls throughout the day.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely on aptX-based codecs for audio transmission will find this product incompatible, as no aptX variants are supported. The 10 m Bluetooth range may also fall short for those who need flexibility across larger spaces, such as open-plan offices or home environments where the source device is kept at a distance. Additionally, users who prefer wireless charging for their accessories will need to adapt, as the case is limited to wired USB Type-C charging only.

Final Verdict

The Honor Choice Earbuds X5 Pro are a feature-rich pair of true wireless earbuds that cover the fundamentals of daily use with notable depth — particularly in audio isolation and call handling, where the dual-layer noise cancellation and six noise-canceling microphones set a strong baseline for commuters and remote workers alike. The 31-hour combined battery life and fast charging add genuine practicality for users who need reliable all-day performance. Codec support is limited to LDAC and AAC, and the absence of wireless case charging and fast pairing may be minor friction points for some, but neither significantly undermines the overall package. For users who prioritize sound isolation, call quality, and extended battery endurance in a truly wireless form factor, the Honor Choice Earbuds X5 Pro represent a well-rounded and capable option.
