First Impressions: Clean and Comfortable
Right out of the box, the design is clean, simple, and compact. The four-sided curved case is easy to carry and sits nicely in the hand. Despite the shiny metallic look, the material is lightweight plastic — but it doesn’t feel cheap. Comfort-wise, the earbuds fit naturally and securely, making them suitable for long listening sessions.
Battery Life: The Main Highlight
Let me start with the highlight that completely sold me — battery life. Redmi promises:
-
Up to 7.5 hours of playtime on a single charge
-
Up to 36 hours total with the charging case
-
Up to 3 hours of music from a 10-minute quick charge
And honestly? These aren’t just numbers – they’re facts. I went days without charging and still had enough battery left. For someone who’s always on the go, this is a massive win.
Sound Quality and EQ Modes
The Redmi Buds 6 Play are powered by a 10mm large dynamic driver tuned by Xiaomi Acoustic Lab. The sound is surprisingly full and clear, with solid mids and decent bass. For an entry-level product, the quality is more than acceptable.
What makes the experience even better is the 5 preset EQ modes you can access through the Xiaomi Earbuds App. Whether you’re into bass-heavy music, balanced tones, or something vocal-forward, the customization is there.
AI Noise Reduction for Calls
This feature actually works. During calls, the AI voice algorithm filters out background noise and focuses on your voice. Whether you’re taking calls in a quiet room or a noisy street, the other side hears you clearly — a huge plus for students, remote workers, or anyone handling calls on the move.
Fast Pair and Smooth Reconnection
Once paired the first time, these earbuds reconnect instantly every time you open the case. The fast pair feature makes the process seamless. The touch controls are very responsive, and once you get used to the layout, controlling playback and calls becomes second nature.
