kahit meron nako r50i nc, umorder padin ako ng r60i nc. mas maganda tunog ng r60i nc, mas malakas noise cancellation saka balanced tunog ng bass at treble, parang redmi buds lite 6 ni misis. un nga, parang lubog tunog ng r50i nc. parang mas ok pa r50i.
I got [these Xiaomi active noise cancelling earbuds](https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/HSTMIX86530/Xiaomi-Redmi-Buds-6-Lite-True-Wireless-Noise-Cance) a few months ago from PB Tech. They're $44. I'm surprised how good the noise cancelling has gotten in cheap earbuds now, and also how long the battery life is. I used to buy high-end earbuds but had some bad luck with battery issues. Pretty happy that less expensive tech can do the job.
I have the redmi buds 6 lite as well. I can't fault them at all for the price and they work great. My first pair semi died after going through the washing machine. (I had used for over a year before this though) So i bought 2 more pairs on black Friday for like 30bucks each. One for home and one for work. All 3 pairs have worked flawlessly and paired to my phone effortlessly. I almost tried the pro version after my first pair went through the wash but it was cheaper for 2 pairs of the lites than one pair of thbe pros and the differences aren't much. Very happy with them
Been using cheap-ass Redmi Buds 6 Lite since August, got them new for $15. Perfect for running, and the durability…. Went through a full wash cycle and tumble dry in my shorts pocket, threw them back in the case to recharge, and somehow still worked. Didn’t expect that at all. Noise cancellation and transparency too. Strictly for running, and that’s all I need.
I you're gonna go below 10k then redmi buds 6 lite, I use them for calls and audio all the time If you can go a bit above 10k then the CMF buds pro 2 If you want an inexpensive but airpods level quality microphone then just get the latest usb-c earpods for 5k. They are wired but have the best microphone I've ever used period, you can't get a better microphone under 10k than this.
Bro personally I would go for the redmi buds 6 if I could but they're out of stock on price oye and are a bit more than 10k or the CMF buds pro 2 for 12k If you need a microphone for meeting s in work then I would still go for the earpods just because of their crisp microphone, trust me bro there isn't anything better in this range, granted their wireless but they are the BEST Also you won't get a very good quality microphone in this price range on earbuds, I mean it will be good but not very good I personally do use the earpods and redmi buds 6 lite, redmi buds for calls while running or some physical activity and the earpods while doing something stationary like classes and meetings

I bought Qcy hto5 2 years ago they were probably the best sounding audio device I've ever used. they died on me 6 months ago, so I just went to my nearest Xiaomi store and bought Redmi buds 6 lite. while they're fine, sound quality is far worse than my qcy ht05 I am looking for something that sounds the same or better with better build quality under $30.
