Audionic S680 is better than 425 and Call quality is loud in any Senerio if you are a bass lover then try it Soundcore R50i NC And if you are not a Game Lover then you can go Redmi buds 6 Lite not play lite is better then play balance sound vocals, bass and clear sound seperations. i recommend you to any earbuds you buy charge it with 5w 2A adapter not any fast charger because it degrade you earbuds battery faster.
I have Redmi buds 6 play and sound was good but After 6 months one side earbud died. Later switched to redmi buds 6 lite, Sound is good and they have noise canceling too. I bought it for 5.1K
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.
Redmi Buds 6 Lite are good im using those right now
It depends on what you want. If you want the convenience of using the Apple ecosystem, then any AirPods are good for an iPhone since they are a first-party accessory. But if you want a ready-made budget TWS, any sub RM200 is already good enough. I've been using Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus for almost 5 years since launch, and still going strong. It's quite a balanced tuning. Right now, I'm rocking Moondrop Space Travel, Redmi buds 6 lite, and QCY HT15 (already given to my girlfriends). All have solid listening experience, but the main reason we're all going to TWS is the convenience of not having wires attached. I would always rock with my iems if at home, but going ou,t my other TWS are good for enjoying your music or answering call outside. Like your friends said, it's not worth the money since you can get a good enough function as TWS from another brand rather than paying for overpriced AirPods.
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.
