Performance
Sound quality is surprisingly good for the price point. The bass is present without being overpowering, and the mids and highs are clear and well-balanced. I found them suitable for a variety of music genres, podcasts, and audiobooks. The low latency mode truly shines when watching videos, eliminating noticeable lag. The earbuds remained comfortably secure during workouts, though I experienced some minor discomfort after prolonged use. The battery life lived up to its claims, consistently delivering over 25 hours of usage between charges. The Type-C charging was quick and convenient. Google Fast Pair worked flawlessly, making the initial setup a breeze.
However, call quality isn’t its strongest suit. While calls are understandable, some background noise occasionally bleeds through. Noise cancellation is absent, which is expected at this price point. The touch controls are responsive but could benefit from a bit more customization options.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Excellent battery life, good sound quality for the price, comfortable fit during workouts, fast charging, Google Fast Pair.
- Cons: Average call quality, lack of noise cancellation, limited touch control customization, some discomfort after prolonged use.
Final Verdict
The Redmi Buds 4 Active Black (BHR6992GL / M2232E1) offer impressive value for their price. They deliver solid sound, long battery life, and convenient features like Google Fast Pair. While there are areas for improvement, such as call quality and noise cancellation, these are minor drawbacks considering the overall performance and affordability. If you’re on a budget and looking for a reliable pair of wireless earbuds, the Redmi Buds 4 Active are a strong contender. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a balance of quality and affordability.
