Wireless Earbuds Xiaomi Redmi Buds 8 Active — Active Noise Cancellation, Bluetooth, Blue

Redmi Buds 8 Active are true wireless earbuds from Xiaomi designed for daily use, calls and workouts. They feature an ergonomic semi-closed design for comfortable wear, a large 14.2 mm dynamic driver with a titanium diaphragm for stronger bass and clearer treble, and support for the AAC codec to preserve audio detail. The earbuds offer active noise cancellation for calls, wind-noise suppression, fast charging and dual-device connection via Bluetooth 5.4. The set includes the charging case and two earphones; the case increases total playback time and charges via USB‑C.

Advantages

Ergonomic semi-closed earbud shape improves comfort during prolonged use while maintaining a secure fit. The 14.2 mm dynamic driver with titanium diaphragm provides pronounced low frequencies and clear highs, and AAC support helps keep musical detail. Dual microphones with AI noise reduction and wind suppression improve call clarity. The earbuds support quick charging (10 minutes for up to 2 hours playback), Google Fast Pair, connection to two devices simultaneously, and app-based EQ customization and firmware updates.

Suitable for

• Everyday listening and commuting
• Phone and video calls with enhanced noise reduction
• Workouts and outdoor activities requiring a secure, comfortable fit
• Users who want app-adjustable sound and dual-device pairing

When it may not be suitable

These earbuds use a semi-closed design rather than full in-ear isolation, so passive noise isolation is moderate; they may not be ideal if you need complete ambient noise blocking. While ANC and wind suppression improve call intelligibility, they are tuned for typical daily use rather than professional studio monitoring.

How to use

Pair the earbuds with a device via Bluetooth 5.4 or use Google Fast Pair for quicker setup. Install the Xiaomi Earbuds app to adjust EQ settings and install firmware updates.

For improved call clarity, ensure the microphones are unobstructed and enable the app’s noise-cancellation options if available.

What to consider before purchase

• If you need maximum passive isolation or professional studio monitoring, consider fully sealed in-ear models or dedicated studio headphones
• Battery life figures are measured with ANC off; enabling ANC may reduce playback time
• App functionality (EQ, firmware updates) requires installing the Xiaomi Earbuds app and may vary by platform

Usage recommendations

For everyday use and workouts, choose the ear tip size that provides the best comfort and stability, install the Xiaomi Earbuds app to tune EQ to your preference, and use the charging case to keep the earbuds topped up between sessions.
