These stand out in a crowded field of low-cost wireless earbuds because they offer some high-end capabilities at a reasonable cost. Their dual-driver system, which combined a 5.5mm micro piezoelectric driver with a 12.4mm titanium-coated diaphragm driver, truly drew my attention.
An audio experience that is more sophisticated than what you would normally anticipate from earphones around Rs 3,000 is promised by this unusual configuration. Let’s examine the functionality, comfort, and sound quality of the Redmi Buds 6.
Comfort & Design
The sleek Ivy Green Redmi Buds 6 arrived, and I have to say, they look fantastic. The case feels high-end because it is small, has a matte texture, and has a glossy band around the bezels. The finest aspect? It’s quite useful because it fits neatly in your pocket and I can open it with just one hand.
Even during prolonged listening periods, the earbuds themselves are pleasant and lightweight. Additionally, they can withstand dust and water splashes thanks to their IP54 classification; however, since the case isn’t water-rated, you should keep that dry & safe.
Audio Quality
The Redmi Buds 6 are excellent in terms of sound quality. The dual-driver arrangement produces a rich sound with distinct treble and a deep, well-defined bass. Whether I was listening to Bruno Mars or Billie Eilish, each song had a vibrant, engrossing vibe.
I also listened to some of the legendary ghazals by Mehdi Hassan and Ghulam Ali, and the earphones did a beautiful job of capturing the subtleties of their taal and raag. The four EQ modes allow you to adjust the experience to your preference, and the sound profile is well-balanced.
Noise Cancellation
According to the manufacturer, the 49dB Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature of the Redmi Buds 6 can block up to 99.6% of background noise. I was quite impressed when I tested this feature on a recent journey.
Although it isn’t as good as high-end brands like Apple or Sony, the ANC performance is more than adequate for daily use. Additionally, I liked that calls were still audible in noisy settings because to the wind noise reduction.
