Honor has expanded its wearable portfolio in China with the launch of the Honor Earbuds S and the HONOR Watch X5. Both wearables were unveiled alongside the Honor 500 series during a recent event in China. The new products focus on improved noise isolation, extended battery life, and enhanced health and fitness tracking. Here’s all you need to know.

Honor Earbuds S – Key Specifications

The Honor Earbuds S are designed for strong noise isolation and everyday comfort. They feature hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 49dB, although actual results may vary depending on ear tip seal, ear canal structure, and wearing position. The earbuds also include dual-mic AI noise reduction, helping filter ambient sound during calls for clearer voice quality.

Each earbud is equipped with a 12.4mm dynamic driver to deliver boosted bass while maintaining clarity across frequencies. The earbuds support spatial audio with dedicated presets for music, movies, and gaming. Honor has also integrated its custom bass algorithm to ensure deeper low frequencies without losing detail.

Battery life is another highlight. The Earbuds S offer up to 9.5 hours of playback per charge with ANC disabled. Combined with the charging case, total usage extends to 42.5 hours. A 10-minute fast charge provides up to three hours of listening. Each earbud weighs around 5.3 grams and features a curved ergonomic shell for prolonged comfort.

The earbuds also bring improved connectivity features. Opening the charging case enables instant pairing with Honor smartphones, and a pop-up window displays battery and connection status. Cloud-synced pairing information eliminates the need to re-pair when switching devices. Users can locate their earbuds using a ring alert via the Honor AI Space app. Touch controls support playback, calls, and ANC adjustments.

With an IP54 dust and splash resistance rating, the Earbuds S are suitable for workouts, rain, and outdoor use. They also support multi-device coordination within the Honor ecosystem.
