The images show the earbuds in black, titanium and white colour options along with the charging case. They indicate an oval-shaped case for the earphones. The case appears to have a matte finish on the bottom with the Xiaomi branding on the front.

The Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro seem to have a half-in-ear design with silicone earplugs. They have an AirPod-like style with touch controls on the curved stems. The earbuds are expected to feature a USB Type-C port and audio tuning by Harman AudioEFX. They are likely to offer noise cancellation features like the Xiaomi Buds 5 and Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro.
