## Details & Specifications
The Redmi Buds 8 is Xiaomi's mid-tier pair in the Buds 8 range. It sits between the Pro ($69.90 on Xiaomi's global page) and the Lite ($24.90), with a $49.90 list price there. It has one 11 mm dynamic driver, where the Pro uses a coaxial triple-driver system.

Xiaomi quotes up to 50 dB of noise cancellation depth and up to 4 kHz of cancellation range, with 3 adaptive levels, and says the two figures come from separate tests, not at once. There are 3 transparency levels and a triple-mic AI call mode rated for 12 m/s wind. Sound is tuned with 5 EQ presets and Sound ID hearing-based tuning in the Xiaomi Earbuds app.

The codecs are SBC, AAC and LHDC. Xiaomi lists Hi-Res Audio Wireless, but it comes by an OTA update and needs a compatible phone, so check yours before counting on it. Battery is up to 11 hours per earbud and 44 hours with the case with ANC off (tested on AAC at 50% volume), and 6.5 and 28 hours with ANC on.

Each earbud weighs 5 g. The case charges over USB-C, and the Buds 8 comes with S, M and L ear tips (M fitted) and a charging cable. These are research notes from the maker's pages, not hands-on testing.
