Go with the redmi buds 6 active they last longer on a charge, stay in better while running and have fuller bass then the lite or play.

Redmi Buds 6 Active sound quality is good but it won't fit properly on the ears. Also it shows the connectivity issue with the Laptop. Multiple time I tried to connect with my Windows Laptop. It's not connecting. So my opinion is don't buy this product. It's a waste of money.

Me compré los 6 active y me parecen súper incómodos. Me quedan flojos y siento que se me están por caer todo el tiempo. Creo que si me quedarán bien, tendrían un buen sonido (si los aprieto en mis oídos se escucha con buena calidad, pero sino casi no puedo escuchar los bajos). Por lejos, los auriculares más incómodos que me probé en mi vida. Tan vez tiene que ver con la anatomía de mis orejas pero nunca tuve este problema la verdad. Se los hice probar a otras personas y piensan lo mismo que yo. Me arrepiento de haberlos comprado.

Cheap earbuds have gotten so, so much better than they were a few years ago. I have tried both the Xiaomi Buds 6 and Buds 6 Pro (for about $25 and $40), and they're just so good I'm not even going to look for anything else anymore. I had the Samsung Buds Pro previously. The Buds 6 Pro are a little better than the Buds 6, I think the price difference is worth it.

I think the ones I use the most are the Liberty 5, and the ones I use the least seem to be the Redmi Buds 6.

For the gym I usually use the Sony WF-C700N, the Soundcore P20i or the Redmi Buds 6, but only because they're the ones I'm least afraid of breaking haha

I'd love to try them, I hope I can soon. The ones I've been using the most are the Liberty 5s because of how comfortable they are and the great audio quality they have.

I'm torn between the Soundcore Liberty 5 and the CMF Buds 2 Plus

Xiaomi Ear Dot 6 for $20 are honestly way better than they have any right being for $20

I've been having weird sound issues, they don't play well until they're fully lodged in my ears. Like it'll disconnect and only play at half volume. I regret buying them with Redmi buds pro 5 I never had that issue
