Noise cancellation for listening and calls
Active noise cancellation (ANC) reduces ambient noise while you listen. REDMI Buds 8 offer noise reduction of up to 50 dB and are claimed to perform approximately 20% better than the previous generation. However, the specific model used for comparison and the measurement conditions are not stated. The effect also depends on your surroundings and how well the earbuds fit.
For phone calls, the earbuds use separate AI-assisted noise cancellation to reduce background sounds and make your voice clearer to the person on the other end. They also reduce wind noise at wind speeds of up to 12 m/s, which may be useful outdoors.
Sound and Hi-Res Audio Wireless
An 11 mm dynamic driver handles audio playback, and the earbuds have Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification for high-resolution wireless audio. Neither the driver size nor the certification guarantees a particular volume level or sound signature. The result also depends on the audio source and playback conditions; supported codecs are not specified.
Three transparency levels
Unlike ANC, transparency mode lets ambient sound in, so you can hold a conversation or move around outside without removing the earbuds. REDMI Buds 8 offer three transparency levels, allowing you to adjust how much surrounding sound you hear.
The mode can help you stay aware of your surroundings, but it does not guarantee that you will hear every warning or approaching vehicle. You should still pay attention when walking or running.
Battery life and charging case
The earbuds offer up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge. With top-ups from the case, total battery life reaches up to 44 hours, allowing you to recharge the earbuds away from a power outlet. Measurement conditions are not stated; actual battery life may vary with volume and the features in use, such as ANC.
Design and controls
REDMI Buds 8 have an in-ear design and come in black, white and green. You can control them directly on the earbuds or through the Xiaomi Earbuds app. The app lets you adjust settings and modes and check battery status. The charging case also has an LED charge indicator.
The model combines long claimed battery life with a choice between noise cancellation and hearing your surroundings. When considering it, think about whether you prefer an in-ear fit and whether you would use those modes.
