Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro Wi-Fi Support 24-bit/96kHz Lossless Audio at 4.2Mbps

A year past since Qualcomm announced its S7 Pro Snapdragon Sound platform with micro-power Wi-Fi, Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi unveiled the new Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro Wi-Fi earbuds at MWC 2025. The brand designed a premium model with a triple coaxial driver system, hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) up to 55dB, support for AI-powered transcription, and Qualcomm XPAN for direct connectivity to smartphones, enabling 24-bit/96kHz lossless audio with an expanded 4.2Mbps bandwidth.

Qualcomm S7 Pro, Micro-Power Wi-Fi, and XPAN Technology. An interview with John Turner, Senior Director, Product Management Voice and Music at Qualcomm Technologies International about the new Qualcomm S7 Pro platform that brings micro-power Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE Audio to TWS earbuds. The same battery life, much better quality, high-res lossless audio, longer range, same user experience as Bluetooth on TWS earbuds. How does it work?

During its Snapdragon Summit event Qualcomm unveiled the latest S7 and S7 Pro Gen1 Sound platforms, which will soon power a new generation of advanced audio products. The new platforms offer five times the compute power, three times the DSP processing power, and almost 100 times on-device AI processing power compared to the previous generation. A real differentiator is the use of micro-power Wi-Fi to extend wireless audio range and support for up to 192kHz lossless music quality in the S7 Pro.
