I really really love my redmi buds 4 pro They are my daily drivers and work great with deck too
Xiaomi Redmi Buds 4 pro, they have a low latency mode when playing games, and they sound really well for their price (I got them for around 30$)
I work in audio production and use reference headphones for actual wok. got the buds4 pro for everything else and the thing that impressed me most is the midrange accuracy. voices, acoustic instruments, anything in the 500hz to 4khz range sits correctly. that’s usually where TWS earbuds fall
I went from Redmi Buds 4 pro's to JBL Tour Pro 3's a week ago, and whilst the Redmi's have a great price/performance ratio, the sound quality of the JBL's really is a lot better.
The Redmi Buds Pro 4 were my favorite for a long time, I even got "upgrades" but ended up going back to them. Amazing ANC, great sound quality, very reliable while walking or moving around, fast pairing, good features. Then got the Redmi Buds Pro 5 with the "gaming" dongle, that actually does lossless 48khz/24bit or low latency. The best ANC I've tried, the sound quality is transparent in terms of codec, and the eq settings let you do whatever you want really. They somehow sound better than the Pro 4. It's a chinese 'exclusive' but you can use the app features with the apk set to chinese location (can be done in any language, I use CN location EN language). The ones I can recommend currently are the Redmi Buds Pro 6 "gaming" edition. I recommend this ones because the earlier ones are not available, they're around the same price as the predecessors although they add even more features like 3D space head tracking. The dongle now gerts stored in the case (which is a big convenience) and there seems to be a higher lossless sampling rate which would be overkill over 48/24. If you can't get the Dongle version, the regular one is still amazing, does LDAC, LDHC, MIHC and other formats. I think it depends on the phone or device you will use to play music which to recommend, for example if you have a chinese phone, LDHC would be a good idea, but if you have a Qualcomm processor the best choice is AptX Lossless / Adaptive and a Qualcomm Audio pair of earbuds.
Have had my Xiaomi 9 for 4 years and still works like a dream
Xiaomi Pro the best, obviously
I’m going to come In with a controversial opinion. I got a pair of Xiaomi redmi buds from Ali. Didn’t expect much for the $26AUD that I paid but they are solid. Mic quality is more than acceptable, music quality is ok, a little on the bassy side. But overall I’m very happy. I’ve got some nice Bose over ears for general listening and some shure IEMs for traveling, but the fact I don’t have to worry too much about these little things is nice. I use them almost daily.
