Xiaomi has unveiled the Redmi Buds 5, their latest true wireless earbuds (TWS) offering in India. Priced at ₹2,999, they boast features like active noise cancellation (ANC), hi-fi sound, and long battery life, targeting budget-conscious audiophiles.
Key Features:
Hybrid ANC: The earbuds promise up to 46dB of noise cancellation with three modes (Light, Balanced, Deep) to adapt to different environments.
12.4mm Drivers: Large dynamic drivers with titanium diaphragms aim to deliver powerful bass and rich audio.
Hi-Fi Experience: Support for SBC and AAC codecs and EQ adjustments cater to audio customization.
Bluetooth 5.3: Offers stable connectivity and low latency for seamless audio and call experience.
Google Fast Pair & Xiaomi App: Enables quick pairing with Android devices and customization options through the Xiaomi Earbuds App.
Transparency Modes: Three transparency modes (Regular, Enhanced Voice, Enhance Ambient Sound) allow situational awareness without removing the earbuds.
Long Battery Life: Up to 10 hours per earbud (38 hours with case), with 5-minute fast charging for 2 hours of playback.
IP54 Dust & Splash Resistance: Protects against sweat and light rain during workouts or outdoor activities.
Touch Controls & Voice Assistant: Customizable 8-gesture controls for playback, volume, and voice assistant access.
With active noise cancellation, hi-fi audio claims, and a competitive price tag, the Redmi Buds 5 appear to be an attractive option for budget-conscious users seeking an upgrade from regular earphones. However, the actual audio quality and ANC performance remain to be tested in real-world scenarios before a definitive verdict can be made.

The Redmi Buds 5 come in three color options: Fusion White, Fusion Purple, and Fusion Black. They will be available for purchase starting February 20th through Amazon India, Mi.com, and offline stores.
