(UK) Snapdragon Sound x Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro - How Sound Should Sound™

Jun 26, 2025

Making headlines

Imagine earbuds that stay connected even when your phone is on the other side of the house, or another floor. Xiaomi has just turned that into reality with the new Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro powered by the Snapdragon Sound™ Technology Suite.

These are the first earbuds to bring our vision to life, as they are connected to Wi-Fi, thanks to the use of Qualcomm® Expanded Personal Area Network Technology (XPAN).

Qualcomm XPAN is a breakthrough in audio wireless connectivity. It works with Snapdragon Sound to keep your earbuds connected via Wi-Fi, even when your phone is in another room, giving you the freedom to move, chat, or dance without limits.

Connect. Immerse. Sync.

In addition to this, the sound is exceptional. The earbuds deliver an unmatched, high-fidelity sound experience, plus can support up to 10 hours of listening per charge, or 40 hours via the charging case.

To celebrate the launch of the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro, we wanted to showcase the seamless connectivity, pure immersion, and perfect sync that Snapdragon Sound brings to life in these earbuds. Tune in now to check it out:
