How long do the buds run on one charge?

Each bud carries a 45mAh battery, which is small for true wireless earbuds. Expect a few hours of playback per charge, with the 475mAh case providing several additional top-ups before it needs recharging itself.

Do the Redmi Buds 8 Active have noise cancelling?

No. They are a budget model without active noise cancellation, so they rely on the ear tip seal to block some surrounding sound.

Are they good for phone calls?

They are built for everyday use including calls, but they lack the microphone arrays and wind-noise handling of pricier models. They work best in quiet settings.

Do they work with iPhones?

They pair over standard Bluetooth, so they work with iPhones as well as Android phones. Xiaomi's companion app and fast-pair features are aimed mainly at Android.
