XIAOMI REDMI Buds 8 Pro, True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds in-ear, 55dB Active Noise Cancelling, Triple driver, Hi-Res HiFi Sound, Dolby Audio, 33h+ Battery Life, Bluetooth 5.4, IP54, Obsidian Black

As someone who is very picky and spends hours at a desk listening to music, finding the right pair of wireless earbuds has been a nightmare. I’ve tested a loads of budget and mid-tier gear recently, trying to find the right design that sounded good too. For reference, the Baseus EP10 Pro are cheap and have very mild noise cancelling and have LDAC but the drivers aren't great at all. The CMF Buds Pro 2 sounded good and had decent noise cancelling but the build quality was poor, I had to return them because they literally fell apart after 6 months. CMF Buds 2a are a nice cheap pair to have around, The Sony WF-C500 have excellent sound but the physical button sucks and shape of them aren't good for my ears. I thought I found a perfect match with the Realme Buds Air 7, they sounded perfect after some tuning with good noise cancelling. Unfortunately all of those earphones (other than the Sony WF-C500) have this issue where on Apple Mac, where they are capped to 128kbps. I've done endless hours of research about this and it's fully Apple's problem, after they dropped aptX and it doesn't do LDAC like every other device (like my android/windows pc etc), it means the audio quality sounds really poor on Mac. I took a shot in the dark hoping the Redmi Buds 8 Pro would support a higher bitrate on Mac because this information isn't available online, and they still only go up to 163kbps, but I believe Apples AAC VBR Pipeline means you can't tell any difference between 163 and 256 or 320kbps. Basically if you get these and use a Mac, you'll get great audio unlike a lot of other earphones I've tried! The 55dB Active Noise Cancellation is excellent in a loud gym daily, in my office environment, completely blocking out low-frequency hums and background chatter. I suggest keeping ANC or Transparency turned on, as I've learned Xiaomi uses built-in digital signal processing (DSP) to optimise the acoustic balance of the triple drivers while it's active Overall the connectivity is excellent, works on everything, they feel great, the case is light and has this slightly rubbery texture to it which means it stays wherever you leave it, and it grips nicely in the hand, the noise cancelling is strong but doesn't have that strong pressure, the triple drivers really bring out a texture I haven't heard on other cheaper earphones, and I think for the price I paid, £51, I don't think it gets better than this!

Very good quality, sound isolation impressive ,battery life good, sound quality also very good. No connectivity issues. Build quality is good. Sound isolation has been tested on several planes, busy city areas and at home.

Good headphones. Easy reliable connection. Comfortable. Decent battery. The noise cancelling is not as bad as people are making it out. I have the Sony xm5s too and they are definitely better, but those are also three times the price. For the price they are a good set of headphones, way better than a cheap pair, but not as good as the well known flagships. No issues with voice calls which was very important to me.

Pleasantly surprised with quality of the earbuds! I bought them because I didnt want to spend so much on airpods since I lose them. I would say the noise cancelling and the sound quality is on par if not better than the airpods.

These earbuds exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is crisp with solid bass, and the battery life easily gets me through the day. Pairing was instant, and they stay secure even during workouts. Noise cancellation works great for blocking out background noise. Highly recommend!

Brilliant sound for the price. ANC quite good to. Very comfortable inside my ears even for long usage. The battery quite long last either.. The connection between phone and earbuds great also. After app very easy to use . Deeply recommended, especially on offer...

I put hese on the enhanced bass setting and turned all the gestures and ANC off, I use them on my spinning bike, the impactful bass is perfect for watching spinning classes on YouTube,these stay put in your ears and are comfortable during long workouts, I have some earfun 4i ones but the buds 8 pro are much better for working out, the tighter fit stops them from falling out and that impactful bass just makes you want to exercise!

I honestly can't hear any distortion at the highs and mids, but the bass isn't the best. Fits nicely with the right eartips.

Best purchase I have made this year. I use them extensively. The sound is good, the ANC is good. And most importantly, the price is very competitive. Great stuff!

This is the best. Great sound quality. Connectivity to iPhone was great. It has an app and you can update it via an app. The quality is great. If you charge the case, you can play all day. If the earbuds are low, it takes less than 20 mins to be charged in the case. It’s a great product.

Works well, xiaomi quality is the best for price. For techno lovers; Got better bass quality after adjusting audio settings

Un bon écouteur j’apprécie

Me encantaron estos audífonos llegan a manejar la música de una forma bastante balanceada y más que nada compleja ya que notas cada instrumento de forma individual diría que van enfocados a agudos llega a ser muy notorio el sistema de 3 drivers.
