The first model, the Redmi Buds 6, boasts impressive technical specifications, featuring a hybrid active noise cancellation system capable of filtering noise up to 49 dB. With a 12.4 mm driver and 360-degree surround sound technology, these earbuds deliver an immersive audio experience.
Users can enjoy up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge and an impressive total of 42 hours with the charging case. For convenience, a quick 10-minute charge provides an additional 4 hours of listening time. Xiaomi takes pride in the HRTF sound effect algorithm, developed in the company’s acoustics laboratory, which claims to produce a surround sound experience with an extraordinary sense of space. Additionally, the earbuds support Sound ID 3 mode, allowing for personalized sound testing.

They also incorporate spatial audio technology that adjusts to your head movements and supports LDAC encoding for ultra-HD audio streaming.
Furthermore, Xiaomi boasts that the Buds 6 Pro can eliminate call interruptions and ensure crystal-clear conversations, thanks to three integrated microphones and a cutting-edge AI algorithm designed to combat wind noise. The dedicated Xiaomi Earbuds app provides customizable noise cancellation and transparency settings, offers four built-in EQ modes for an immersive sound experience, allows touch control adjustments on the wireless earbuds, and enables seamless online firmware updates.

For added durability, the display is safeguarded by 2.5D convex glass. Encased in sleek matte aluminum, the watch features a rotary selector button, which Xiaomi asserts greatly enhances the overall user experience.
