Save your cash while rocking out and get into the near premium wireless ear buds market with the new Redmi Buds 3 Pro.

Redmi Buds 3 Pro, made by Xiaomi, come in at just over a hundred bucks and, for the most part, have the same features as more expensive brands.

Connecting to either Android or iOS (Apple) via Bluetooth, you can also have the Redmi Buds 3 Pro connected to a secondary device – so there’s no need to unpair with a phone if you want to connect to a laptop or tablet.

Wirelessly chargeable with the teeny carry / charge case you’ll get 28 hours of life on the go.

The wireless buds themselves will stream you audio, take handsfree calls for up to 6 hours on full. That’s pretty good going given their price tag.

During my time with them I’ve had some days that have fallen short (around 4 hours) to exceeding expectations (8.5 hours).

Given the spectrum of difference I can only put it down to using the buds for differing tasks drains quicker. During the time that I had lesser length of life I had taken a lot of calls and been in a virtual presentation. Whereas for the most part, the buds were used for streaming Spotify and Disney+.

For clarity, definition and focus each Redmi Buds 3 Pro ear bud has a super generous three mics.

Xiaomi didn’t stop there either, they have taken Noise Cancellation up several notches with the use of A.I. which will intelligently adapt to the environment to decrease the background noise.

Simply put, in a noisy place, the Redmi Buds 3 Pro will tune it out and tune you in to your audio.

Audio is powered by 9mm drivers – but here you’ll find their weakness.

While the quality is great, it is lacking any rumble. There just isn’t any low tones or bass.

If you’re someone who doesn’t like your ear canal to vibrate to the beat, shouldn’t worry you.

You have your usual options of touch control. Play, pause, skip, answer and end calls on the side of the bud. I’ll also mention how insanely light and comfortable they are to wear. So much so that you’ll forget you even have them in. I did, more than once.

But hey, they’re waterproof so it’s kinda okay if you go in the shower with them… just don’t submerse in any water though.

As mentioned, the buds can be charged wirelessly on almost any wireless charger – but expect a hefty wait time if your case and ear buds within are dead flat. 3 hours.

And this is actually correct. Usually when reviewing I’ll find variances to the manufacturer’s claim (as I did in this review on the session life span of the buds). But not on charge time. Letting the buds go dead flat and the case, on a wireless charge it was 3.5 hours.

Cabled is a wee bit quicker, but not by much, so I’d put this to 3 hours or slightly under.

Coming in two colours, Glacier Grey and or Graphite Black, the Redmi Buds Pro 3 are an excellent investment though, either as an entry point to wireless buds or as a secondary pair. While they do lack a wee bit on a full audio experience, they most definitely have the goods when it comes to full immersion.

Unprecedented technology has become a requirement in an unprecedented world.

In a commitment to keeping Kiwis connected, creative and comfortable, PB Tech proudly continues their partnership with global giant Xiaomi, and today announces the latest in True Wireless earphones from the company renowned for innovation and affordability.

As the leading authorised reseller of Xiaomi’s extensive range in New Zealand, PB Tech is excited to share the Redmi Buds 3 Pro – a game-changer in the new work-from-home world.

Juggling the kids and struggling with distraction? Hate wasting time switching Bluetooth connections between your phone and your PC? Need tech that goes the distance, even up to 28 hours on a single charge? With the Redmi Buds 3 Pro, the proof is in the pudding.

“The first things you’ll notice about the Redmi Buds 3 Pro is the eye-catching design, then the incredible active noise cancellation,” says PB Tech’s Headphone Product and Marketing Manager, Nik Turner. “This latest gadget from Xiaomi, the global #2 for True Wireless headphones, is the perfect fit for working from home.”

Turner says a key factor is the Buds’ state-of-the-art AI algorithm, compatible with Xiaomi smartphones, which judges ambient noise level and user habits to tune the depth of noise cancellation. “This means they’ll automatically adjust to one of four ANC modes – Adaptive, Light, Balanced or Deep. The result is up to a 35-decibel reduction in background noise.”

“Another common issue is the need for simultaneous Bluetooth connectivity to multiple devices,” says Turner. “You want to be able to answer your phone, listen to music, and then quickly jump into a video call on your PC? Most wireless earphones still require a manual switch. With multipoint connectivity, Redmi Buds 3 Pro users can seamlessly switch between two paired devices.”

The Buds also support wireless charging and fast charging for added convenience – just 10 minutes of charging can give you up to three hours of uninterrupted bliss.

With Xiaomi products now available in more than 90 countries, the tech giant aims to redefine value and increase tech accessibility across the globe.

Turner says that the latest Redmi Buds 3 Pro reflect the company ethos of “innovation for everyone”, to which cost is typically the biggest barrier for many consumers.

“We’re stoked to bring the Redmi Buds 3 Pro to New Zealand at such an affordable price point for such an exceptional product. With smart switching and active soundproofing, they’re designed not just to be incredibly ergonomic – but to simply make your life easier,” Turner says.

Redmi Buds 3 Pro is now available in New Zealand in Glacier Gray and Graphite Black online at the Mi Store, PB Tech, and through click and collect at PB Tech stores nationwide.
