I go with Redmi Buds 5, they are super convenient with their small factor and long lasting battery time (achieving 35-37 hours with their case consistently)
r/SteamDeck • What headphones you pair your Steam Deck with? ->redmi buds 5, ANC on em is wild.
r/PakistaniTech • What are some good wireless earbuds ->redmi ko buds 5 and 6 is also good..battery life ramro xa ani noise cancelling is ok not as good as flagship earbuds...tei ho know what you are buying for...call garna ko lai vane flagship matra ramro hunxa ya wired hola...know what you are buying for... if it is your first time then you have to get used to the buds otherwise your ear may hurt while using for long time
r/Nepal • Suggest me some good Earbuds from price range 5k to 10k? ->Using Redmi Buds 5 Decent Device. Noise Cancelling also good compared to products in that range. Fits and Seals ear Promptly. Battery Life Depend I normaly use 5-10 Hours Only charge it 1-2 Times per week. Using since year now Still good!
r/srilanka • Which is best for battery life, noice cancellation, and reliability ->Redmi buds 5. Got it for travel and its surprisingly good. Long battery life too.
r/Earbuds • Cheap Running earbuds under 35 usd$ ->Redmi Buds (5 / 5 Pro / 6 / 6 Pro). Fantastic ANC, fantastic Sound, fantastic comfort and fit, fantastic usability (configurable gestures), great Multipoint (connect two devices simultaneously) and amazing value for money. If only they had Wireless Charging, they'd be truly perfect, but with their battery life, you can live without it. I had Bose, Sony and Samsung Earbuds too, still have the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro because I got a great deal at the time they were released, but 'sadly' I truly find the much cheaper Redmi Buds to be better in real life.
r/galaxyzflip • Best earbuds partner for flip 6 ->Never had a different pair of AirPods other than the Pro 2 but the ones I had from other brands with silicone tips pushed themselves out of my narrow ear canal very easily (Samsung Buds pro, Redmi buds 5, Soundcore p20i). The AirPods Pro 2 are the best I’ve had and they stay the longest comparing to the others.
r/airpods • Which airpods should I buy? ->Starting cheap to expensive, these are what I recommend from buds I've tried or used before: 1. Erazer X11, shaped as open concept, this thing hangs on your auricula. Sounds balanced following Harman. This is an $8 that I randomly stumble and happened to have very good sound quality especially for sub $20. I think the low-mid has bad reproduction but everywhere else the sound is great. Also the battery is huge around 10h playtime per earphone. 2. Moondrop block, has classic Moondrop tune which follows rthing target band. Sounds really good, surprisingly delivers bass enough for an on-ear earphone. The low price of $18 is hard to miss. Also happened to have 140ms SBC latency which is usable for gaming. 3. Redmi Buds 5, classic bassy tuning which is surprising for a half-ear. But anyway you get what you pay for. I personally won't pick this and skip ahead to >$60, although this one only cost $28. 4. Xiaomi buds 5. $60, this is clearly in the premium spectrum of half-ear. You can expect the best of the best and this guy delivers... For a price of course. 5. Apple Airpods 3 or 4, clearly the standard for apple. The sound while being clear feels lacking in power (?) not tinny but definitely not as good as I thought. Only pick this if you have an iPhone I guess. This is very expensive in my country so check yours. Either way this limited selection hopefully fits your budget. I was personally surprised with X11 being very cheap while giving an amazing build quality and has too long of battery life. The purpose was for my mom's zoom call but ended up being a good music enjoying earphone. Generally going very expensive on half-ear doesn't make that much sense because sound quality wise they plateau'd really quickly, getting a high bitrate connection like LDAC just didn't give you the extra detail or dynamic for half-ear.

r/Earbuds • Best quality earbuds that aren’t noise cancelling & don’t have silicone? ->I use the PS5 Pulse Elite headset mainly. The dongle reduces the latency. The audio is great but it's a bit expensive and doesn't have ANC or tuning. I also used the Soundcore Q35 and I think it's also exellent. It can be used plugged with 3.5mm for minimal delay or bluetooth, it has ANC with transparency and touch to hear. It uses a phone app to manage it and it has dual pairing so you can use it with the switch alongside (that features causes more latency probably). The Redmi Buds 5 have similar features to the Soundcore, but they're In Ear Buds. I think most Buds / Buds Pro from 5 and up have a gaming mode for low latency.
r/NintendoSwitch2 • Bluetooth Headphone recommendations? ->your hearing has to be bad. my xiaomi buds 5 get so loud it hurts above half volume.
r/Earbuds • Are all wireless earbuds so disappointing? ->yes, maybe because they actually arent as loud, but listening to them at max volume will hurt your ears and give you hearing damage, op probably uses max volume on the wired ones. which has damaged his hearing so much that slightly quieter ones now are too quiet.
r/Earbuds • Are all wireless earbuds so disappointing? ->xiaomi buds 5, samsung galaxy buds 2 and huawei freebuds 5, or the airpods 4 anc.
r/Earbuds • Are there wireless earbuds with anc similar to the apple earpods? ->yeah, i have the earpods and the xiaomis, and the xiaomis are a bit thicker, but less Long on the earpiece. they fit my ears just as well as the earpods though, but your milage may vary of course.
r/Earbuds • Are there wireless earbuds with anc similar to the apple earpods? ->airpods 4 without anc maybe. my xiaomi buds 5 do have anc although you can turn it off completely.
r/Earbuds • What are the best semi open/no silicone earbuds without active noise cancellation(anc)? ->i have xiaomi buds 5, good sound.
r/Earbuds • Please recommend Best dual iOS android ear buds that don't have silicon tips like below image l want something similar those below I don't want anything silicon. ->Xiaomi buds 3, im not joking this is serious lol. that thing has so much pressure that you can't use it much you need to lower the anc power in order to use it normally that is insane. i tried: Xiaomi buds 3 (-40dB i dont know how but hell yeah) Xiaomi buds 5 (no silicone, weakstill better than 4 NC) Redmi buds 6 pro (-55dB 4kHz good but -55dB is not realistic) anker soundcore liberty 4 NC (worst among them) If i would rate the ANC power: Xiaomi buds 3 9.5/10 (bose may be better, or not lol) Redmi buds 6 pro 6/10 Sony WH-CH720N 5/10 Xiaomi buds 5 4/10 Liberty 4 NC 2/10 (2 is optimistic) Transparency mode: Xiaomi buds 3 9/10 (literally hearing aids at this point) Redmi buds 6 pro 3/10 Xiaomi buds 5 3/10 Liberty 4 NC 2/10 Fun fact: my dad was using xiaomi buds 3 as hearing aids when i didnt use it 😂) Bad sides: its stick is VERY long like VERY but if you dont care just buy it. its BOSE and SONY's only enemy.
r/Earbuds • Best wireless earbuds for ANC ->Bought xiaomi buds 5 and i am totally happy with it.
r/Earbuds • Earbuds that fit like Gen 1/2 airpods? ->Yes a bit in a form of airpods 4.. you need to try it if it good. I was looking for replacement my airpods 2 as well..
r/Earbuds • Earbuds that fit like Gen 1/2 airpods? ->Baseus ma10 is pretty decent if you EQ it correctly on wavelet or the redmi buds 5/6–have great soundstage so you can also consider those too aside from the aforementioned earbuds here.
r/Earbuds • Cheapest earbuds with the best audio quality? ->I've had the active since August and I am not disappointed they're pretty good for what price you're getting. Feature wise I wouldn't say they're anything special but the sound quality and battery life make up for all the features lost
r/Earbuds • What's up with Redmi buds 6 lite/active/play? Good value for the price? ->Redmi Buds. I bought them for my mom. I have Raycons myself, the Fitness Earbuds. They have no issues, other than me resetting them through a button on the case every few months because the sound would sometimes start "bouncing" from one to another, like, you're randomly getting 50% volume on one side and then another. I went swimming in a river with them and they're still ok. Idk why the influencers are promoting their promo codes because the other discount codes available online (any coupon website) get you a much bigger discount. Something like 15% from the influencer vs 30% from the website, and they also do seasonal sales, I got mine during Christmas time. Redmi is certainly cheaper and I don't see much difference in the actual build and sound quality. I'd just buy Redmi for myself if I had to choose again. As for wired, any Panasonic will do, mine have survived from 2018 and until 2024. Iirc, a pet chewed on them and one of the earbuds died. They were dirt cheap, under $10 at the time. I also have over-the-ear Soundcore Life Q30 that I mostly use at home, the ear pads wear out every year like a clock and the headband pad just wore out 3 years after the purchase, with everyday use. Stock ones were soft as a cloud, guess, that made them less durable. They can work both through Bluetooth and wired as they have the 3.5 mm slot and a cord bundled in. No changes to the sound quality and battery life so far, but be careful when replacing the ear pads because it can damage the ANC functionality if you don't fit them properly.
r/BuyItForLife • Alternatives to AirPods? ->Raga le ho appena prese scontate a 16 euro. Pazzesco per quel prezzo cosa offre. Le ho confrontate con le airpod Max e ovviamente non regge il confronto ma ne compri 20 di redmi 😆 modalità cancellazione e trasparenza funzionano cmq alLa grande. Per averle devi spendere almeno 40 euro con altri marchi.
r/Earbuds • What's up with Redmi buds 6 lite/active/play? Good value for the price? ->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.
r/LinusTechTips • Best wireless earbuds you have for daily use and music? ->I had a Poco that died after three glorious years, and still have Xiaomi Redmi buds I use at work.
r/askSouthAfrica • What's your favourite budget-friendly earbud/earphone? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
