Just info, i never tried Airpods Pro & other premium TWS.
I own Fiil T1 Lite and Huawei Freebuds Pro.
Freebuds Pro sounds more muffled & kinda dark sounding.
The Bass is nice, but the upper bass is too emphasized, making the bass bleed over the vocal.
The Vocal is actually pretty good, but i prefer a little more boosted upper mid too make the sounds more engaging.
The Treble is too tamed or too smooth for my taste, i really have to EQ the Treble section by boosting it pretty far to be enjoyable for my taste.
The Soundstage for TWS is pretty good.
The Imaging still not really impressive imo.
The volume is apparently not really loud enough for my taste, i'm a volume junker guy, Freebuds Pro makes me really disappointed in this section.
Even ignoring the price point, i think T1 Lite is still a better sounding one in terms of tonality, it's more clean and more natural. It's also much louder. But the Technicality especially on the Soundstage & Imaging section is actually worse than the Freebuds Pro, not by a huge margin, but for me it's noticable.
Talking about features & user experience, well to be honest there're lots of things i love in the Freebuds Pro.
The fitting & the comfort for me is really good, actually T1 Lite feels a little more comfortable, but T1 Lite's fitting is a big minus compare to Freebuds Pro.
The controlls is just perfect for me! I love that you can control the volume by sliding your finger, i love that there's a tactile sound if you press and hold the control area, and most of the time the control feels responsive!
The smart wear detection sometimes kinda hit and miss in my experience, i prefer to turn off this feature and i'm still fine without that feature.
The ANC Mode, for my first time ANC experience i'm impressed, but apparently i'm not really using the ANC Mode that often, i dont have any comparison for this ANC quality, so far what i can say is the ANC feels pretty nice & it makes me impressed.
The Awareness Mode, it's more or less the same impression with the ANC before, but actually i'm using this Awareness Mode way more often, so far i'm really enjoying this mode quite alot.
Dual Connection features is actually really cool, but in my experience it's not really that seamless, there's a 3-5 sec delay when switching device audio source, but again it's still really cool and really nice to have imo.
The design and build feels & looks nice imo, the only cons for me is fingerprint magnet, still easy to clean tho.

The headphones are well constructed from premium materials. They look discreet in the ear. The touch panel on the stems works very well and responds nicely to touch. In my opinion, the battery life is a bit short, around 5 hours with NC. The headphones are more predominant in the bass, something which I don't particularly like. Therefore, I had to correct this aspect using external equalization software since the headphones don't come with one integrated into the application.
Pros
Premium materials
Good tactile response
Discreet
Cons
Low battery life
Bass heavy
Does not come with built-in equalization in proprietary software.
The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid. E.g. a first number of 6 denotes that it is completely dustproof, and a second number of 7 denotes that the device can withstand full immersion in water.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds together.
These earbuds come with wingtips that can be attached for a more secure fit. Wingtips come in handy for sports and other physical activities. When used correctly, they prevent the earbuds from falling off.
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology that allows sounds to be interpreted as three-dimensional objects. By doing so, Dolby Atmos allows for immersive, 360-degree sound.

Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
The battery life of the charging case as given by the manufacturer. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your headphones on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.

Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
LDAC is a codec developed by Sony for Bluetooth audio. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high resolution audio. It can also automatically adjust to a lower bitrate of 330kbps or 660kbps to increase stability.
aptx Adaptive is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps), which means it can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as listening to HD audio or reducing interference from other devices.
aptX Low Latency is a codec developed by Qualcomm. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag (e.g. when playing games).
aptX is a codec used for transmitting audio wirelessly with Bluetooth. It is developed by Qualcomm, and supports 16-bit audio at a bit rate of 384kbps.
aptX Lossless is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It supports high quality 16-bit/44.1kHz audio (at a maximum bit rate of 1200kbps). This codec provides CD-quality audio without any loss of data.

Latency refers to the time it takes for the audio signal to be transmitted to your headphones/earbuds. Lower latency reduces audio lag, and is particularly important when playing games or watching videos.
Ambient sound mode uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard. It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re jogging but still want to be able to hear traffic.
Fast charging technologies, like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge or MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the time it takes to charge a device. For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in just 30 minutes.
Multipoint allows you to link to more Bluetooth devices and switch between them. For example you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect.
A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone. Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e. Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc.
There is a control panel on the device body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to.
