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 activeOverall 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!

My friend’s son: “They perfectly fit in the ears, allthough my ears hurt after a while, ANC is very good and the sound quality is even better but it doesn't block out the wind. The case is satysfying to hold and to snap shut. They wont fall off the ears, even if you jump or ride a bike, the battery can hold over 42 hours, looks great in ear, worth every penny. I would definetly buy again”

The good: fantastic sound, for the price. I keep losing earbuds and don't want to spend hundreds until flagship Sony. Ok the sound is not quite the same level but still lots of clarity and separation. The equaliser in the app really helps tune them to your own taste. When making calls I've been told that I sound crystal clear, but any light wind noise is picked up too much to have a conversation.I like the simplicity of use. The easiest and fastest pairing of any headphones I've had (which are usually quick, anyway, but these surprisingly faster). The tap function works well for on/off, skip, etc, and the volume touch sliding is good.They are also very light and comfortable, I don't know they're there. They stay in place when running and at the gym, which is my primary use for them. They look really smart, too.Charging is quick and lasts for days - I've been using them on holiday (not every day) for 2 weeks and still have around 30% charge left, without needing to charge them in this time.The bit so good (not really so bad): there are Bluetooth connection issues when moving through a crowded area, such as walking through a train station. This stabilises when there are no changing competing Bluetooth signals, so once at the gym it settles down. Still, I would not want them for my daily commute (I use B&W over ear ones for that).Also, I still can hear loud background noises in noise cancelling mode. However, they block out the gym music, so do work for most sounds. Maybe I need to change earbuds covers.Overall, though, I'm very satisfied and would definitely recommend these neat little earbuds.

My Apple Airpods Pro 1st gen broke, and I wanted to try another model and brand. Xiami did a great work with these Buds 8 Pro, they perform better than the Airpods I had (1st gen is arguably old now though) in terms of battery and noise cancellation functionality. They are comfortable to use and they come with different sizes for the earpiece. The only downside from the Airpods is the seamless connections between Apple devices, but it's not a hassle. 90% of the experience compared to Apple, at 1/4 of the price.

Very good at this price point. I am very happy wit the fit, the convenience, and the audio quality. Connection to my Xiaomi 14T Pro is excellent and also to my Samsung tablet (the buds support Multi-point Bluetooth connection so you can have two devices paired at the same time. Noise cancellation is good, with a good range of controls within the supporting Xiaomi app. I do find that the app is sometimes a bit reluctant to reconnect to the buds, although that is a minor gripe, since it has no impact on the audio connection.

Headphones are actually nice. Sound is good. Battery life in my opinion could be better, I used to have redmi buds 6 play and battery was much better. Connecting unfortunately is not good, quite often they just disconnect them self and I have to open case to connect them again.

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...

The clarity on these is amazing wow! I've been using the Samsung buds 3 pro for the last year and there are right up there with them. The noise cancellation isn't as good, but they do block out a fair bit of noise for the price. If you're just looking for something that's cheap and sounds really good, though, these are an amazing option with good bass and good separation.

J'ai des redmi 6 lite, qui sont très bien, mais niveau noise cancelling c'est light. Par contre, j'aime beaucoup les redmi 8 pro, le son est très bon, très agréable et le noise cancelling très bien, pour l'emploi que j'en fait. Le port à l'oreille agréable également, pas de douleurs, on les oublie presque. Quant aux appels téléphoniques, on entend bien, et ceux qui appellent aussi (ce n'était pas le cas avec les Redmi 6 lite). Et le prix, très satisfaisant !! Taille du boîtier très bien, très petit, j'ai acheté également une coque qui s'adapte parfaitement.

Estupendo sonido, fácil de emparejar con los celulares, buen desempeño durante su uso y el precio extraordinario, dan más de lo que gastas.

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.

Accortomi subito della comodità e dell'ergonomia dei gommini. Aderiscono bene alle orecchie e il rischio di caduta è quasi nullo. Resistono anche a movimenti bruschi del capo. Prima volta che constato questi aspetti negli auricolari in-ear. La qualità costruttiva e la rifinitura delle giunzioni è distinta. I comandi touch sono intuitivi, reattivi e offrono un'ottima personalizzazione. La durata della batteria può soddisfare appieno le esigenze di utenti medi e business. Mi ha sorpreso la cancellazione del rumore in modalità Trasparenza. Mediante uno slider, in App dedicata, si possono settare 3 tipi di amplificazione che apportano un suono abbastanza naturale e soprattutto definito. La qualità del suono. Sono un audiofilo e ci tengo ai dettagli. In questi auricolari risultano precisi e briosi; molto bene. Il punto di forza è l'equilibrio tra frequenze basse, medie e alte. Le ho provate appieno per una settimana (modalità codec LDAC) ascoltando diversi generi musicali. Tali frequenze sono sempre risultate presenti e non invadenti. Mai compromesso il volume generale percepito. Quindi, il suono e ben livellato. Soprattutto, le frequenze medie mi hanno piacevolmente colpito. Anche con valori in decibel bassi non risultano affinate o elettrificate. Il timbro sonoro rimane morbido e frizzante. Questo è il punto di forza. Ribadisco l'equilibrio generale. Lo spettro sonoro è ben ottimizzato. Questo prodotto può tranquillamente competere con altri auricolari che costano fino al triplo del valore di prezzo, che ritengo un Best Buy. Le consiglio vivamente. Promosse appieno. Arrivate in perfette condizioni e spedizione Prime rispettata.

Na 2 soorten buds die iedere keer uit mijn oor vielen is dit een verademing. Advies zet de app op je telefoon. Op deze manier kun je testen of je de juiste rubbertjes gebruikt. Ook geeft de app aan als de batterijvoeding laag is en de buds in de oplader moeten. Ik ben zeer tevreden.
