Xiaomi Redmi Buds 4 Lite True Wireless Earbuds - White

I originally bought these literally not expecting anything. Oh boy was I ever so wrong (in a good way!). Please read the full review, I'm one of the few people who actually do good and detailed reviews here :)

Pros:
- BT 5.3 so low latency, strong bandwidth (connection) and somehow lower power consumption (hence the long battery life for these small things.) Mouth movement matches with audio so there is literally no delay.
- Extremely tiny and light. With the case, it literally fits in the palm in my hand and I wonder how its so tiny (see photos).
- Fast Pair, bring the earphones close to a compatible phone and you'll see a prompt pop u...view more I originally bought these literally not expecting anything.

- Extremely tiny and light. With the case, it literally fits in the palm in my hand and I wonder how its so tiny (see photos).
- Fast Pair, bring the earphones close to a compatible phone and you'll see a prompt pop up on your phone and tap pair. My phone from 2021 didn't have Google Fast Pair but my sibling phones from 2023 did, so take note, otherwise connect via Bluetooth as normal.
- 5 hours per charge, can confirm.
- Despite its small size, they sound so good (not studio grade obviously!) but they sound really good, you would think they are Apple Airpods but on a budget?
- Unlike other wireless earphones I've used in the past, these don't have an annoying whirring(?) sound that plays when there is no audio.
- The earphones charge quickly in the case and the case charges via type C. The case doesn't take that long to charge, about 30 minutes from 0 to 100%.
- Magnetic lid so it closes securely.
- Microphone sounds decent, not amazing though, better than my phone microphone I can say.
- Charging case has magnets inside so your earphones can magnetically snap into place without losing connection to the charging contact points in the case for the earphones.

Cons:
- Included charging cable is so tiny (Type A (Male) to Type C (female))
- The small hinge seems questionable to me, haven't had any problems with it so far but please take care, just in case.
- The included manual isn't specific enough which really surprised me given that I have bought Xiaomi products before.
- For me (not sure if this was just me or for everyone) there is a plastic film on the stem of the airphones by the charging points you absolutely need to remove to charge the airphones. Nothing wrong with the plastic but it doesn't show/mention anything about a plastic film in the manual.

How to setup:
1. Open the box
2. Get the product out
3. Open the case of the earphones
4. Take both of the earphones out of the case
5. REMOVE THE PLASTIC FILM OFF THE STEMS OF THE EARPHONES
6. Put the earphones back into the case
7. Charge the case with the earphones inside for like 10 minutes
8. Take the earphone case off charge after 10 minutes
9. EITHER:
9.1. Bring the case by the phone and use Google Fast Pair
9.2. Take both earphones out and open Bluetooth settings and find: Redmi Buds 4 Lite
10. Connected, enjoy.

Do I recommend this? Of course! This also come with a 6 month warranty from Xiaomi (not PBTech) so make sure you keep all the contents and the box up until 6 months incase something does go wrong with the product. For this price, its just so good it can replace the more expensive options.

These are amazing value These are amazing value

I'll give these a 3 out of 5. They're great for listening to sounds while I work. They have some decent bass, as long as they're in your ear properly, which leads me to my main issue with them, they're not quite the right shape for my ear, so they can become loose or even fall out. I'm also not a fan of the soft touch sensors. The earbud becomes loose, then my music pauses when I adjust them. Then, the buttons don't work when I try to resume my music. It's a bit annoying, hence the 3 stars I'll give these a 3 out of 5. They're great for listening to sounds while I work.

These little earbuds are fantastic for the price point they are simple to use and hook up. ***Edit a couple months down the track of use they seem to drop in and out and I have had people say they can barely hear me or I sound like I'm in a fish bowl they have lost the quality they once had even though they have been looked after well.

Honestly, I bought these as cheapie things to use when working but they've surprised me. They've got a crap ton of bass for what they are, they sound good overall the mids and top ain't totally crushed.

I mean for the price you ain't gonna get wireless buds close to this, honestly prefer them over the old set of 1st gen Airpods I had Honestly, I bought these as cheapie things to use when working but they've surprised me.

Excellent quality for price range. Nice small, lightweight, compact case. Excellent quality for price range. Nice small, lightweight, compact case.

Not worth 5 stars. Sounds tinny. Not worth 5 stars. Sounds tinny.
