FonePro Free Buds 5i Wireless Earbuds
Product Information
The product mentioned in the user manual is a set of open-fit TWS (True Wireless Stereo) earphones, specifically the FreeBuds 5, FreeBuds 3, and FreeBuds 4. These earphones are designed to provide noise cancellation and awareness mode features. However, it is important to note that when worn in windy environments, such as during outdoor activities or in a vehicle with open windows, the earphones may detect wind noise and adjust their noise cancellation algorithm accordingly. This can affect the performance of the noise cancellation or awareness mode.
Unlike in-ear TWS earphones, open-fit earphones like the ones mentioned are not intended to create a completely airtight seal in the ear canal. As a result, some wind noise may still be audible while wearing them, potentially causing more audible noise compared to in-ear TWS earphones.
It is worth mentioning that the FreeBuds 5 does not have an awareness mode feature.
Product Usage Instructions
- Ensure that your earphones are up to date by checking for any available firmware updates. This can usually be done through the associated mobile app or by visiting the manufacturer’s website.
- If you feel that the whirring sound caused by wind noise is affecting normal use, temporarily disable the ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) or awareness mode. This can usually be done through the earphones’ settings or controls. Disabling ANC will reduce the level of ambient noise heard, while disabling awareness mode will disable any specific feature related to enhancing external sound awareness.
- It is important to note that ANC and call noise cancellation are separate technologies. ANC reduces the level of ambient noise, while call noise cancellation reduces unwanted noise added to the user’s voice during calls, enabling clearer communication for the other person. Understanding this distinction can help in adjusting the earphones’ settings accordingly.
Troubleshooting steps
When you wear the earphones in windy environments, for example, when you are cycling or exercising outdoors, or in a vehicle with the windows open, the earphones detect that the wind noise exceeds a preset threshold, causing the wind noise canceling algorithm to suppress some of the microphone signals used for noise cancellation. This will negatively affect the performance of Noise canceling or Awareness mode.
In addition, open-fit TWS earphones, such as the FreeBuds 5, FreeBuds 3, and FreeBuds 4, are not designed to form a completely airtight seal in the ear canal. As a result, wind can still enter your ear canals while you are wearing them, resulting in more audible noise compared to in-ear TWS earphones.
If you feel that the whirring sound is affecting normal use, try the following steps:
- Ensure that your earphones are up to date.
- Disable ANC or Awareness mode temporarily.
- ANC and call noise cancellation are separate technologies for reducing the impact of ambient noise. ANC reduces the level of ambient noise heard, whereas call noise cancellation reduces the level of unwanted noise added to the user’s voice during calls, which allows the other person to hear the user’s voice more clearly.
- FreeBuds 5 does not have Awareness mode.
