Xiaomi rolls out budget Redmi Buds with active‑noise cancellation and steep price cuts

Xiaomi's Redmi Buds 8 Lite earbuds target the low‑cost segment with features usually found in higher‑priced models. They include active‑noise cancellation rated at up to 42 dB, a 12.4 mm titanium‑coated driver, Bluetooth 5.4, five EQ presets and a claimed 36 hours of total playback time, and retail for around 23 euros in Spain.

The Redmi Buds 6 Play, recently promoted in Portugal, are priced at roughly 10 euros after a significant discount from the normal 15 euro price. They offer Bluetooth connectivity, lightweight ergonomic design, passive sound isolation and battery life sufficient for daily commutes. Both models are positioned as affordable options for students and casual users who need basic wireless audio without premium‑level sound quality or ANC.

These releases highlight Xiaomi's strategy of packing relatively advanced specifications—such as ANC on the Buds 8 Lite—into entry‑level earbuds while using deep price promotions to attract price‑sensitive consumers in the Iberian market.
