Redmi buds 8 pro review- underrated but a gamble
So recently I managed to buy redmi buds 8 pro Chinese unit for just 35$.
Before that I searched for reviews and they are very interesting, firstly these are not popular at all so there's very less reviews. And among those reviews you will find completely positive review or a completely negative review complaining about connection issues and sound quality alternation with ANC ON and quality control issues.
I haven't experienced any of these issues , I got a perfectly good unit I guess . The noise cancellation is good but not at the level of OnePlus buds 4 but sound quality is great , I rate this sound better than buds 4 , only thing is you have to switch to "enhanced treble" , the default tuning feels soo flat that it sounds muted and not exciting. (I hope you guys understood what I mean by muted)
Spatial audio : This is the only budget tws with head tracking spatial audio and it works . Whether you use it in real life is a question. But you also have really good tuned dolby audio option , movies sound really good with Dolby turned on . I recommend using these with Dolby for movies .
Battery life : Again a lot of complaints from other reviews but I'm getting really good battery life, more than 7hrs with ANC ON , I guess if you turn on both LDAC and anc you might get less than 6hrs .
In conclusion, I want to say this might be a gamble , if you get a good unit this is a great pair of tws , but there are chances you get a bad unit so keep an eye on return policy. There's also another factor to consider, my unit is Chinese not a global one and is manufactured in august 26 , so they might have solved QC issues .
