I never had a redmi product fail on me but these airdots indeed did. One of the ears' batteries became faulty within months and still runs but only for 5 minutes after a full charge, the other ear is fine and runs for hours. Such a shame because it was a great product.
I've been using Redme airdots for the past 3 years. Top notch. Never failed me once and have an amazing battery life.
I don't think the phone matters, my airdots connect to vivo as well as they do to my ipad. But yeah, they're pretty great.
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.
Xiaomi redmi buds. I got mine (I think 4) for 5k around 5 years ago. The battery life is amazing, no issues so far, sound is pretty decent all things considering
I had a Poco that died after three glorious years, and still have Xiaomi Redmi buds I use at work.
I would suggest to get one set for sleeping, and another for a daily driver. Redmi buds play for sleep, its ridiculously cheap and does a great job OnePlus Buds 4 or earfun Air Pro 4+ for daily use
The Xiaomi red buds are great for cheapos that do the job
