"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"amazing, amazing, amazing ANC performance for earbuds! ... not even close in ANC performance vs these (Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024)) ... I, for ANC, prefer the approach Bose takes, blocking out pretty much all frequencies."
"Noise cancellation is solid. ... It's on the level of the Bose QC Earbuds, my previous daily driver, and actually sounds cleaner and feels better in the ear. ... Yes! I was also surprised by how good ANC is compared to the Bose buds. ... 10 ... The ANC on the PBP2 is better. ... Mine are much, much better than both my PBP1 and my Bose QCs."
"noise cancelling headphones are such a blessing for me. i've always been sensitive to noise and i get overstimulated easy when out in public. they give me silence and privacy when I need it. worth every cent!"

"For an open style earbud, these genuinely surprised me with their overall performance in sound at this price point. ... IMHO, these Soundpeats PearlClip Pro are probably the best I’ve heard in this under $50 price category when it comes to this style of earbuds. ... These are one of the best clip-on earbuds in this price category especially when it comes to price to performance in sound quality and feature set"
"How much of a difference does a little 5 ohm impedance bump make? A whole hell of a lot actually. ... we get a HUGE bass boost in the balance of this IEM, running into the mid range and smoothing out the treble. If you add foam tips into the equation, what you get is a bassy, new meta-like sound with a much fuller mid bass and lower mid range, making for much richer male vocals while eliminating Harman shout and spice. Once adapted, the set has a much more pronounced mid bass kick and texture, and will satisfy a fair amount of bassheads. ... All in all, the adapter makes it sound like a completely different IEM, and that makes for a pretty versatile, choose-your-own-adventure style experience."
"I struggle to tell the difference between them and "premium" buds that cost 3 or 4 times more, so I just stick with these. ... I auditioned these between Bose QC 2024, Pixel Buds Pro and Sony WF-1000XM5 and I can't really tell the difference. ... certainly not enough to make me pay 4x as much."

"They don’t go in your ears at all. they just kind of clip on gently and sit there. ... no pressure ... way more comfy than anything I’ve tried."
"The IEMs really stay in my ears thanks to the free Spring Tips. I shook my head really hard for a few seconds and it didn't fall out my ears."
"just clips on the outside of your ear and feels super light, no pressure at all."

"QC issues, on my 2nd pair and they have a strange white noise that occurs randomly. ... First pair left earbud white noise was bad and had to return. ... 2nd pair same left earbud white noise and I’ve returned them. All happened within a week of light use."
"every 60 seconds or so it shrieked for a couple of seconds in an electric staticy kinda way."
"the Tea Pro are absolutely terrible. ... I couldn't sell them quick enough. ... Utter dogshit & not 10% as good as the Tea 2. ... utter crap with horrific mids, dreadful bass & terrible treble"

"the volume is extremely low ... even with the volume boost setting on, i would still be annoyed by how low the sound is ... it's bad even at home, when commuting to work is even worse with all the noise. ... these are unbearable."

"they got wet and died ... which sucks for 200$ ear buds"
"the right earbud just stopped working after one day I stepped away while wearing it still connected to my laptop. ... Tried resetting and everything else, but it just won't connect or work properly, this is tiresome."
"Bought redmi 6 buds play in June, and in September, its battery started to drain. Even after leaving the buds in the case for the whole day, it was charged only 50%."

"My redmi buds 6 play has been full of battery for hours while using... I don't know if that's a good or bad sign. But, I'm pretty sure it's a bad sign. ... But using it for around 2 hours with 60-70% volume and still having the full battery is quite concerning for me"

"Also the warranty is useless as they want you to ship the buds to lahore (on your own expense)."
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.
r/Earbuds • Are expensive earbuds really worth it anymore? ->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

It doesn't have fancy features like ANC but the fit feels good, my ears don't hurt and honestly for the price, I really can't complain.It's really good value.I'm honestly impressed This channel does a good comparison between the 3 different types of redmi buds 6. https://youtu.be/cPshF2xlbOw?si=xy96tnibMtTcUUvN I chose the play because of the price and the fact that it's a bud vs a earpod style design.

r/PakistaniTech • Wireless earphone recommendatioms ->I have a Xiaomi buds 6 play, it's been around a month and the right earbud just stopped working after one day I stepped away while wearing it still connected to my laptop. Tried resetting and everything else, but it just won't connect or work properly, this is tiresome. Thinking about just throwing it in the trash and buying a Samsung/JBL pair because they're supposed to be better then anything Xiaomi makes...
r/Earbuds • What's up with Redmi buds 6 lite/active/play? Good value for the price? ->Yap. Didn't know too. Thought they had low volume. Changing the settings works wonders.
r/Earbuds • What's up with Redmi buds 6 lite/active/play? Good value for the price? ->Redmi buds 6 play.
r/Earbuds • Best wireless earpods around $25 or less that do not require an app? ->There are many Xiaomi models that cost very little and are really excellent. A few months ago I needed a spare pair of earphones and bought the Redmi Buds6 play on Amazon for just 12.99. But there are also other models that cost a little more. If that's the budget I'd take a look at.
