Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro in a record sale! They have great sound and ANC, artificial intelligence, and good battery life

An interesting discount on Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro has appeared on Alza. With the discount code ALZADNY40, they will cost you 2,819 CZK, which is 40% less than the original 4,699 CZK, for which they started selling on the Czech market in March. This is currently the best price in the Czech Republic for these premium TWS headphones with a triple driver setup and advanced noise cancellation.

Triple drivers and frequency range like Hi-Fi systems

Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro are among the more technically interesting TWS headphones on the market. Instead of the usual single dynamic driver, you’ll find a triple setup of specialized units here: an 11mm dynamic driver with dual magnets for bass, a ceramic speaker for mids, and a planar diaphragm for highs. The entire system is powered by dual amplifiers that control the frequency bands independently.

The result is a frequency range of 15–50,000 Hz, which is significantly beyond the scope of typical TWS headphones (which usually end around 20 kHz). According to Xiaomi, the headphones capture up to 99.9% of sound details, which is a marketing phrase, but there’s some technical truth to it – they even support lossless transmission up to 48 kHz/24 bit with a transfer rate of 2.1 Mb/s (with a compatible device).

Adaptive ANC and 50 ms latency

Noise cancellation is up to 55 dB with a 5 kHz bandwidth, meaning it also works on mid-range frequencies (typically human voices). The system is adaptive – the headphones automatically adjust the cancellation level according to the surrounding environment and how they are seated in the ears. For calls, there are three microphones with an AI algorithm that reduces noise and suppresses wind up to a speed of 15 m/s.

For gamers and video enthusiasts, a crucial feature is the latency of just 50 ms, which the headphones achieve thanks to Bluetooth 5.4 support and LE Audio technology. However, this only works with selected Xiaomi phones (15 Ultra, 15, 14 Ultra, 14, MIX Flip) or newer iPhones (16 and 15 series).

What real users say

In reviews on Alza, the headphones maintain an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars. What customers appreciate most:

• Sound: Users consistently praise the sound quality, with one reviewer writing that they are the “best-sounding earbuds I’ve ever had the chance to hear.” In a direct comparison with Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, the Xiaomi sounded “slightly worse,” but at half the price, it’s an excellent compromise.
• ANC: Customers rate the noise cancellation as “megagood” (Slovak reviewer), although it’s not on the level of “the apple” (i.e., AirPods Pro).
• Battery Life: The declared 40 hours is not precisely reflected in real reviews; rather, 36 hours total is mentioned (6h headphones + 30h case). However, one user reports only 4 hours with ANC, which is below average.
• Ecosystem: Xiaomi phone owners highly appreciate the fast pairing via the app and seamless connectivity.

The most common negative is the touch control, which requires a firmer two-finger squeeze. Some consider this a disadvantage, others a prevention against accidental switching.

Who it makes sense for

At 2,819 CZK, these are a very good choice for anyone looking for quality TWS headphones with advanced noise cancellation and wanting to save money compared to competitors from Samsung or Apple. However, you’ll get the most out of them with a Xiaomi phone – you’ll gain functionalities like head tracking, faster pairing, lower latency, and AI features such as recording with transcription and translation (currently only on Xiaomi 15 Ultra).

If you have a different phone (Samsung, iPhone, anything with Android), the headphones will work without problems, but you will miss out on some advanced features. However, basic functions like ANC, touch control, or the equalizer via the Xiaomi Earbuds app work universally.
