While Xiaomi managed to leave a mark in the wired earphone segment by introducing dual-driver technology at an affordable price, it didn’t manage to crack the market when it comes to Bluetooth earbuds or TWS earbuds. However, with the new Redmi Buds 6, things are looking promising. Not because, the company has launched it at an affordable price – Rs 2,999 – but due to all the features that are packed inside it at this price point.

First of all, the Redmi Buds 6 features a dual driver and offers features like 50dB Active Noise Cancellation, a companion app, and most importantly customisability in the form of equaliser, noise cancellation and even there are options to customise the touch controls on the earbuds.

I have been using the Redmi Buds 6 for weeks now and here’s what I think about it.

Redmi Buds 6’s comes with iterative improvements over its predecessor. The charging case is rectangular and opens completely like a compact box. The size is small and can fit easily in tight jeans pocket. Quality-wise, it feels solid despite having an all-plastic build. The matte finish and smooth texture add to the premium feel. The finish also ensures that the case catches no

fingerprint and also less prone to scratches. I kept it pretty roughly – in the bag and even in my jeans pocket with house keys and coins and the case does not have a single scratch till date.
