Xiaomi has unveiled the Redmi Buds 4 Active earbuds to the global market. The release of the latest Xiaomi earbuds from the Redmi brand is not exclusive to China this time. The Redmi Buds 4 Active comes with several improvements from its predecessor, the Redmi Buds 4.
The Buds 4 Active is equipped with 12mm drivers which is an improvement from the 10mm drivers in the preceding model. While the 12mm drivers are a significant improvement over the vanilla mode, the Buds 4 Active comes short in active noise cancellation options. The standard Buds 4 Active features active noise cancellation, normal, and transparent modes for ambient sound but the Buds 4 Active only has active noise cancellation and normal modes. The Redmi Buds 4 Active has IPX4 water resistance certification unlike the Buds 4 with IPX5 dust and water resistance rating.
The Redmi Buds 4 Active comes with a different design from its predecessor. It has larger earbuds and a more rounded charging case than the vanilla model. It offers up to 28 hours of operation with its charging case. The earbuds themselves offer up to 5 hours of playback on a single charge.
The Redmi Buds 4 active can also be charged rapidly with 10 minutes of charging yielding up to 2 hours of listening time. The earbuds support Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity and Google Fast Pair. There are several touch controls for the earbuds including double tap, triple tap, and press and hold. These touch functions are for music playback, answering or rejecting a call, and enabling low latency mode, among others.
The Redmi Buds 4 Active weighs 42g together with its charging case and the case has a 440mAh battery capacity. The earbuds only support only the SBC codec and are only available in a black colorway on the Xiaomi website. The Redmi Buds 4 pricing and shipping information are yet to be provided by Xiaomi. Such details could be released anytime soon.
