The Xiaomi Redmi Buds 8 Active are TWS earbuds for everyday listening to music and podcasts, as well as making phone calls. The semi-open, semi-in-ear design provides comfortable wear, while the 14.2 mm dynamic drivers with titanium-coated diaphragms deliver clear and powerful sound across a range of 20 to 20,000 Hz. SBC and AAC codec support contributes to high-quality wireless transmission.
The earbuds use Bluetooth 5.4 with a range of up to 10 metres, support connection to two devices, and feature Google Fast Pair for easy pairing. Touch controls provide convenient control over playback and calls, while the sound can be adjusted in the Xiaomi Earbuds app using five preset equalisers or a custom profile.
For calls, a microphone with AI noise reduction and wind noise reduction at speeds of up to 6 m/s is available. The earbuds last up to 7 hours on a single charge, or up to 37 hours with the charging case. Fast charging provides up to 2 hours of listening after 10 minutes. The earbuds' IP54 resistance helps protect them from dust and splashing water.
