In this article, we will discuss the specifications, features, and official pricing of Redmi Buds Essential in Nepal.
Redmi Buds Essential Overview:
Design
In terms of design, it looks like an extension of the original AirDots line. They have a simple in-ear design with silicone tips – no accompanying ear hooks. The headphones are IPX4 splash resistant and weigh around 4 grams each. Xiaomi offers them in black and blue color variants.
It comes with a color-matching charging case. The case has a matte finish with Redmi branding on the top. It weighs around 35 grams, including the two earbuds.
Audio Features
The headphones have a 7.2mm dynamic driver. It supports call noise reduction, which helps filter out ambient noise to make your voice clearer when you call. The Redmi Buds Essential also has a game mode that is said to improve latency while gaming. To activate low latency mode, press and hold the buttons of both earphones at the same time for 1.5 seconds. Buds Essential also allows users to use only one earbud at a time with Single Ear Mode.
Battery & Charging
Redmi Buds Essential offers an extra-long battery life, providing up to 5.5 hours of music playback on a single charge of both earbuds. With the charging case, you can enjoy up to 18 hours of beautiful, long-lasting music.
The earbuds are equipped with a 43mAh battery capacity, and the charging case has a 300mAh capacity, allowing for extended use. You can charge the earbuds and the charging case using the micro-USB port. Just like any other Earbuds, it does not contain the charging cable in the package.
Other Features
IT also features a physical button that allows for easy control of various functions such as answering calls, playing or pausing music, and activating your voice assistant with single, double, or triple taps or by holding the button. It also offers quick pairing with a simple open-and-connect feature. The buttons prevent accidental touch and offer precise control with every operation done through your fingertip.
Additionally, with a 1.5-second press and hold on both earbuds, we can enter or exit low-latency mode, and a triple tap on either earbud will activate our voice assistant. Redmi Buds Essential offers a gaming mode that reduces latency and ensures audio-visual synchronization, enhancing our gaming experience. To enable this mode, press and hold both earbuds’ multi-function buttons simultaneously for 1.5 seconds, and enjoy our games with reduced audio delay.
Xiaomi’s latest budget earbuds come with Bluetooth 5.2 support, promising improved interference avoidance and better stability. The inclusion of quick pairing means the earbuds will connect as soon as you take them out of the case.
