XIAOMI Redmi Buds 6 Pro – Wireless Bluetooth Headphone in-ear, Triple Drivers, Dimensional Audio,55dB ANC, 4KHz Wide Frequency, Hi-Res Sound, LDAC, Up to 9.5h+36h Battery Life, IP54, Space Black

As someone who is very picky and spends hours at a desk listening to music, finding the right pair of wireless earbuds has been a nightmare. I’ve tested a loads of budget and mid-tier gear recently, trying to find the right design that sounded good too. For reference, the Baseus EP10 Pro are cheap and have very mild noise cancelling and have LDAC but the drivers aren't great at all. The CMF Buds Pro 2 sounded good and had decent noise cancelling but the build quality was poor, I had to return them because they literally fell apart after 6 months. CMF Buds 2a are a nice cheap pair to have around, The Sony WF-C500 have excellent sound but the physical button sucks and shape of them aren't good for my ears. I thought I found a perfect match with the Realme Buds Air 7, they sounded perfect after some tuning with good noise cancelling. Unfortunately all of those earphones (other than the Sony WF-C500) have this issue where on Apple Mac, where they are capped to 128kbps. I've done endless hours of research about this and it's fully Apple's problem, after they dropped aptX and it doesn't do LDAC like every other device (like my android/windows pc etc), it means the audio quality sounds really poor on Mac. I took a shot in the dark hoping the Redmi Buds 8 Pro would support a higher bitrate on Mac because this information isn't available online, and they still only go up to 163kbps, but I believe Apples AAC VBR Pipeline means you can't tell any difference between 163 and 256 or 320kbps. Basically if you get these and use a Mac, you'll get great audio unlike a lot of other earphones I've tried! The 55dB Active Noise Cancellation is excellent in a loud gym daily, in my office environment, completely blocking out low-frequency hums and background chatter. I suggest keeping ANC or Transparency turned on, as I've learned Xiaomi uses built-in digital signal processing (DSP) to optimise the acoustic balance of the triple drivers while it's active Overall the connectivity is excellent, works on everything, they feel great, the case is light and has this slightly rubbery texture to it which means it stays wherever you leave it, and it grips nicely in the hand, the noise cancelling is strong but doesn't have that strong pressure, the triple drivers really bring out a texture I haven't heard on other cheaper earphones, and I think for the price I paid, £51, I don't think it gets better than this!

My friend’s son: “They perfectly fit in the ears, allthough my ears hurt after a while, ANC is very good and the sound quality is even better but it doesn't block out the wind. The case is satysfying to hold and to snap shut. They wont fall off the ears, even if you jump or ride a bike, the battery can hold over 42 hours, looks great in ear, worth every penny. I would definetly buy again”

The good: fantastic sound, for the price. I keep losing earbuds and don't want to spend hundreds until flagship Sony. Ok the sound is not quite the same level but still lots of clarity and separation. The equaliser in the app really helps tune them to your own taste. When making calls I've been told that I sound crystal clear, but any light wind noise is picked up too much to have a conversation. I like the simplicity of use. The easiest and fastest pairing of any headphones I've had (which are usually quick, anyway, but these surprisingly faster). The tap function works well for on/off, skip, etc, and the volume touch sliding is good. They are also very light and comfortable, I don't know they're there. They stay in place when running and at the gym, which is my primary use for them. They look really smart, too. Charging is quick and lasts for days - I've been using them on holiday (not every day) for 2 weeks and still have around 30% charge left, without needing to charge them in this time. The bit so good (not really so bad): there are Bluetooth connection issues when moving through a crowded area, such as walking through a train station. This stabilises when there are no changing competing Bluetooth signals, so once at the gym it settles down. Still, I would not want them for my daily commute (I use B&W over ear ones for that). Also, I still can hear loud background noises in noise cancelling mode. However, they block out the gym music, so do work for most sounds. Maybe I need to change earbuds covers. Overall, though, I'm very satisfied and would definitely recommend these neat little earbuds.

The clarity on these is amazing wow! I've been using the Samsung buds 3 pro for the last year and there are right up there with them. The noise cancellation isn't as good, but they do block out a fair bit of noise for the price. If you're just looking for something that's cheap and sounds really good, though, these are an amazing option with good bass and good separation.

Brilliant headphones. Sound just as good as my old galaxy buds I bought them to replace. Also, they link up with my Garmin music watch with no skips whatsoever. Unlike a cheap pairs of bluetooth headphones which regularly stutter with the Garmin.

I honestly can't hear any distortion at the highs and mids, but the bass isn't the best. Fits nicely with the right eartips.

Firstly the Good ~ First day opening the buds the packaging was great, they look lovely and look premium, until you pick them up but that doesn’t matter, I charged them straight away before use, connected them and away I went, with the help of chatgbt I setup Dolby on the buds, and they sounded great, and I loved them, the anc is decent although certain things it cannot cancel out, for example I stood in the kitchen with the washing machine on and it can be heard the same with or without the buds in and Anc on. But things like the tele it will quiten it down with ANC on, on the second day I showed them my brother and told him to buy a pair, AND THEN, day 3 it’s gone down hill and fast, I’ve owned them for 5 days now, and there’s huge problems, the left earbud holds a full charge from 100% for about 90 minutes, WITHOUT ANC ON, just playing normal music from my iPhone library, the right buds battery seems fine still, but there’s major CONNECTION PROBLEMS, the buds, both of them, keep disconnecting almost every few minutes, and in between disconnecting they keep making beeping noises, I don’t understand why, yesterday I was in the garden and I put my phone on the side table and walked away from it testing the range , I couldn’t get no further than 5 metres without it he buds also cutting off, my buds before this were the 4NC”s by a very well known brand and they were excelllent, I’ve had them for 3 years and other than the battery slightly degrading there still miles above these, I was lured into upgrading by a YouTube review and it turns out I now seem to have downgraded and at a cost, never heard of this brand before and now I know why, disappointed because like I said the first few days i thought I unearthed a real gem

Headphones are actually nice. Sound is good. Battery life in my opinion could be better, I used to have redmi buds 6 play and battery was much better. Connecting unfortunately is not good, quite often they just disconnect them self and I have to open case to connect them again.

Great listening sound quality, very comfortable and convenient earbuds at a great price. However call quality is poor when you're speaking and on the go (i.e. not just at home in a quiet room) - the audio cuts in and out from muffled and quiet to louder, and its hard for the other person to hear you what you're saying which is very annoying. If this call issue was solved I would give these 5 stars.

Great value for money. The sound is amazing. Noise cancellation is working perfectly. Battery holds forever.

Estupendo sonido, fácil de emparejar con los celulares, buen desempeño durante su uso y el precio extraordinario, dan más de lo que gastas.

This is the best. Great sound quality. Connectivity to iPhone was great. It has an app and you can update it via an app. The quality is great. If you charge the case, you can play all day. If the earbuds are low, it takes less than 20 mins to be charged in the case. It’s a great product.

Works well, xiaomi quality is the best for price. For techno lovers; Got better bass quality after adjusting audio settings
