Redmi Buds 4 Active

Redmi Buds 4 Active Overview:

Design

Redmi Buds 4 Active is a distinguished addition to the Redmi Buds 4 lineup, notable for its in-ear design with a long stem going down the bottom. Each bud is merely only 3.65 grams, making them lightweight and comfortable for prolonged use. Additionally, their case of 34.7 grams contributes to their overall portability. Ensuring durability, Xiaomi has obtained an IPX4 splash resistance rating for the Redmi Buds 4 Active, safeguarding them against light splashes here and there. However, the earbuds are available in only one color option: Black.

Audio

Regarding audio performance, the Redmi Buds 4 Active boasts 12mm dynamic drivers, tuned by Xiaomi's Acoustic Lab. However, it's essential to note that these earbuds support only the SBC audio codec, which may lead to playback quality issues when used with iPhones. It lacks active noise cancellation (ANC), which is quite ironic for the TWS named Buds 4 Active. Nevertheless, it compensates with environmental noise cancellation (ENC) during phone calls, promoting clear and uninterrupted communication. Furthermore, gamers can enhance their gaming experience from the dedicated low-latency mode.

Battery and more

Moving on to battery life, each earbud is equipped with a 34mAh cell, while the charging case houses a 440mAh one. Xiaomi claims that the earbuds alone can deliver up to 5 hours of continuous playback on a single charge. And when combined with the charging case, the total listening time extends to an impressive 28 hours. Additionally, a quick 10-minute charge is sufficient to provide 110 minutes of listening time. And when it comes to connectivity, the Redmi Buds 4 Active features Bluetooth 5.3. The earbuds also support the "Google Fast Pair" protocol, facilitating swift pairing with Android smartphones. Besides, users also have the option to customize various aspects of the earbuds through the "Xiaomi Earbuds" app at this price range.
