The Buds T500 Pro arrived in a compact "Candy Box Design" with a Yellow paint job.

Each bud is just 4.5 grams light and even comes with IP55 dust and water resistance, allowing these to be workout-ready.

Inside, each bud comes with a large 12.4mm driver which promises a big soundstage and "crystal-clear" vocals.

This also has a 6-mic system (3 per bud) for "crystal clear" calls and supports up to 50dB (flagship-level ANC).

The company claims that the T500 Pro also uses AI to analyze ear shape and wearing fit in real-time to dynamically adjust noise cancellation parameters. The tuning effectively reduces distracting human voices.
