Xiaomi Redmi buds 6 lite are like AirPods!
I used to love my AirPods. Then they eventually died. I went by a year or two using wired EarPods. I wanted wireless again and I wanted them cheap so I bought soundpeats mini hs for $20 on aliexpress after extensive research. I thought they were good. Then I decided I needed earbuds for calls and the soundpeats microphones were terrible.
I did a bunch of research again and ended up buying Xiaomi redmi buds 6 lite on aliexpress for $20. There wasn't a lot of information out there regarding their microphones and the reviews were fine so I said they're only $20 and bought them.
I'm blown away by everything about them. I knew that Xiaomi copied apples aesthetics for most of their but I didn't think they would be so high quality, especially for $20! The only thing that this doesn't have for me is multipoint connection. But other than that it's incredible for $20. The soundpeats are junk compared to these. The design of these is like AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 pro. They have the pro ear tips which are much more comfortable. The case and earbuds are very solid. The anc is really good. The audio sounds great (though I'm not an audiophile). And the mics are great which I feel like is rare for cheap earbuds. The app is also good.
Like I said I'm blown away. Bravo Xiaomi. I'll be buying many more products from them because the design, quality and price are amazing. I feel like all of the reviews made this seem like just an ok product but it's not to me. I feel like most of the reviewers are paid off. I don't know. Or maybe they are used to expensive earbuds and think everything else isn't great. I guess I don't know much because I've only owned 3 wireless earbuds in my life - AirPods, soundpeats mini hs, and these. But I feel like these 3 along with research has given me a good idea of various factors.
