Kaya pala hinahanap ko siya sa app wala pero so far I upgraded from redmi buds 5 at soundcore r50i mas okay and worth it. Got it for 1.5k same nung first launch xiaomi redmi buds 5 hehe! Actually 1.8k yata yun. Antayin ko na lang magupdate ang app. Baka worth it ang AI trans.

I bought two pairs of Xiaomi Redmi Buds 5 about half a year ago. After just a couple of months, the batteries died on both pairs, and a bit later the charging cases stopped responding entirely. Has anyone had good experiences buying wireless earbuds on AliExpress that actually last longer than a few months?

Just got the xiamo earbuds 5 and love them tbh for anyone that's not a fan of the tip going fully inside your ear, personally very uncomfortable for me. The earbuds 5 are great sound quality and sit perfectly

Well I love my redmi buds 5 and I got some real small ears. Hard to get online as they were discontinued. Better luck finding them on olx

i'm on call rn on discord with the nord 3 pro and i sound like im speaking from a walkie talkie. my partner on the other end is using realme air 7 and they don't sound that good either. i used to have redmi buds 5 and they had the best mic ever. but unfortunately the battery died after using for nearly 2 years.

i fell in that exact same confusion trap and bought nord 3 pro 10 days ago. now regretting. i'll tell you this that the mic does sound better on other apps like WhatsApp/messenger. but still not as good as my old redmi buds 5. also if your priority is sound quality, then get realme. op kinda have heavy bass.
