Xiaomi Redmi Earbuds S review: Truly wireless earbuds that everybody can afford

Wireless audio is hard to pull off, which is why it’s expensive. But times are surely changing. Over the last year or so, more and more brands have started experimenting with wireless audio, because well, some say it’s the future. It’s a future that nobody really asked for, but let’s not go there now, shall we. Wireless audio of course has its upsides too, the biggest being the convenience that comes along, once you decide to cut the cord. Or go, no strings attached, as Xiaomi likes to say it.

Days after launching its first pair of truly wireless earbuds, the Mi True Wireless Earphones 2, Xiaomi has launched yet another TWS product in India, this time under its Redmi banner. Xiaomi calls it the Redmi Earbuds S and with it, the company is looking to prove a point that it’s possible to make a pair of “good” truly wireless earbuds and price it, well, honestly. Which in simple terms means, good wireless audio can also be affordable. But hey, didn’t Xiaomi do that already with the Mi True Wireless Earphones 2? It did somewhat, but it seems, there was still room for some more affordability. The Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 cost Rs 4,499. The Redmi Earbuds S are priced at Rs 1,799. Wow!
