Xiaomi Redmi Airdots
These ultra-affordable true wireless earbuds deliver a compact, comfortable fit and stable Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity for everyday listening. They offer around four hours of playback per charge, extended to 15 hours with the charging case, though the case uses an older micro-USB port. While they provide decent volume and a stylish look for the price, sound quality is average with a somewhat harsh upper-midrange, and the microphone performance is below par.
- Pro:Very affordable price point
- Pro:Comfortable and compact earpieces
- Pro:Stable Bluetooth 5.0 connection
- Con:Mediocre sound quality with fatiguing upper-mids
- Con:Weak microphone for calls
- Con:No volume controls or app support
