Honor Choice Earbuds X5e White (TRN-ME00) Review
Introduction
The Honor Choice Earbuds X5e White (TRN-ME00) promise a compelling combination of long battery life, immersive sound, and comfortable wear. But do they deliver on these promises in the real world? I’ve spent the last few weeks thoroughly testing these earbuds in various scenarios, from intense workout sessions to long commutes, to give you a comprehensive review.
Features
The X5e boasts several noteworthy features. The advertised 36-hour battery life is a significant selling point, and I’ll delve into its accuracy later. The semi-in-ear design is marketed for comfort, and the included charging case is compact and convenient. The Bluetooth connectivity was consistently reliable throughout my testing period. The sleek white design is also visually appealing.

Performance
Sound quality is surprisingly good for earbuds in this price range. The bass is punchy without being overwhelming, and the mids and highs are clear and well-balanced. The advertised “immersive surround sound” is perhaps a slight exaggeration, but the soundstage is wider than many comparable models. Battery life lived up to the claims, exceeding my expectations. I consistently got around 14 hours of playtime on a single charge and an additional 22 hours from the charging case for a total well over the advertised 36 hours.
Comfort was another strong point. The semi-in-ear design was comfortable even during extended listening sessions, though I did find that after roughly 4 hours of continuous use, a slight ache started in my ears. The earbuds were lightweight and stayed securely in my ears even during my runs. The call quality is acceptable but could use improvement. While calls were understandable, some background noise did filter through.
Pros & Cons
- Excellent battery life
- Good sound quality and balance
- Comfortable for extended use (with minor caveats)
- Secure fit
- Stylish design
- Call quality could be improved
- Slight ear fatigue after prolonged use
Final Verdict
The Honor Choice Earbuds X5e (TRN-ME00) are a fantastic value. The exceptional battery life, impressive sound quality for the price, and comfortable fit make these earbuds a strong contender in their class. While the call quality has room for improvement and some slight ear fatigue after extended use, these are minor drawbacks that don’t significantly detract from the overall experience. I highly recommend these earbuds to anyone looking for a budget-friendly option with excellent battery life and decent sound.
