The Redmi Buds of helmets has always been characterized by its price. Now, keeping this competitiveness, they have taken a step up with some interesting sound characteristics thanks to the last member of the generation: the Redmi Buds 6.
Similar to the previous generation in terms of design (particularly when it comes to the case), the new headphones have improved noise cancellation, A double controller design and a four microphone matrix.
Two important details regarding the case: The pairing button is located on the right edge of the case. It is surprisingly difficult to notice at first glance and fuses almost perfectly with the lateral finish. It is also difficult to press and could have been designed more conveniently.
The general finish and the sensation of the headphones and the case are a bit plastic, which is to be expected at this price (39 euros). Nor is it surprising that have an IP54 dust resistance classification and splashes (helmets, not the case).
Regarding comfort, it is surprising that they have achieved such a light and comfortable product for this price, several hours in a row without causing discomfort can be used. Another pleasant surprise is its application (Xiaomi Earbuds, available in Android and iOS). Allows you to control functions such as audio effects, gestures, select ANC mode (Cancellation of active noise) and also adjust individual options.
It is not necessary to download the app if our mobile is a xiaomi, since all functions are pre -installed. The advantage is that, although most of the functions are the same, the application has a personalized audio function instead of the pre -established adjustments of standard equalizer or the personalized equalizer. This Allows you to hear audio clips and, based on them, select the preferred sound.
Redmi Buds 6 have a dual controller design that includes a dynamic controller coated with 12.4 mm titanium for low and medium frequencies and a 5.5 mm piezoelectric controller for high frequencies. What does this mean? That the general sound is in the low media and in this range the voices and the music are clear without being dominant in extreme. In the highest range, however, a little quality is lost.
The issue is noise cancellation: When we enable it, some quality is lost and the sound becomes something more artificial. On the positive side, for the price they have, they cancel a large part of the external sounds (trains, fans, air conditioners and battle a bit with the interior of the airplanes). But, again, for the price they have, they work great.
As for the microphone, they have also strive to give it with good functionality: it cancels the external sounds and keep the voice clear and isolated whenever there is not much wind. Regarding the ability to link them, It is possible to do it with up to two different devices and control the functions even when the sound does not play from the phone.
Finally, the battery. The Redmi Buds 6 have a 10 -hour nominal battery life with the cancellation of noise disabled and 6.5 if we use it. This is the nominal. In practice we have exceeded 10 hours without the cancellation of noise and we almost passed from 6 hours with this active function. As for the load, it passes from zero to 4 hours of playback with just 10 minutes of load. Its performance is very good in this section.
Verdict:
Available in black, white and green, they are the best headphones for this price. They are not for quality audio fans, or for athletes, but as entrance headphones or to ensure long -distance playback and with a very dignified active noise cancellation, they are at the top.
