Xiaomi has introduced its affordable earbuds, the Redmi Buds 6 Lite, in China after their recent global release. These earbuds are priced at 139 yuan ($20) and are currently available for pre-order on JD.com. Let’s take a look at their main features.
Redmi Buds 6 Lite Features
The Redmi Buds 6 Lite boasts a comfy in-ear style and comes in three stylish colors: blue, white, and black. They are equipped with 12.4mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers, which provide high-quality sound with powerful bass and clear treble.
Sound Quality and Noise Cancellation
With four preset EQ sound profiles and customizable EQ options, users can enjoy a sound experience tailored to their favorite music types. The earbuds also support the AAC codec, which improves audio quality on compatible devices. They offer 42dB active noise cancellation (ANC), a notable enhancement compared to earlier models. Xiaomi's dual-microphone AI wind noise reduction allows them to handle wind speeds of up to 6m/s, making them perfect for outdoor activities like jogging or biking. The ANC feature can reduce noises up to 2.5kHz, making these earbuds suitable for bustling urban environments or during commutes.
Battery Life and Quick Charging
In terms of battery life, the Redmi Buds 6 Lite shines with up to 7 hours of playback on one charge and a total of 36 hours when using the charging case (Type-C). They also offer quick charging, giving 2 hours of listening time from just a 10-minute charge. While the global version claims a slightly longer 38-hour battery life, this difference is minimal for most users.
Additional Features
The earbuds allow "audio sharing" with certain Xiaomi and Redmi devices, enabling two pairs of earbuds to connect to one device. This feature works with flagship smartphones like the Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 13, and the Redmi K70 series. Additionally, users can download the Xiaomi Earbuds App to customize their listening preferences by adjusting settings, monitoring battery life, and setting up personal EQ profiles. The app also provides firmware updates to ensure the earbuds function effectively.
