Wireless Charging Support

The charging case can fully charge the Earbuds up to four times (cycles) before you need to recharge the charging box itself, which according to tech review websites, takes approximately an hour.


Ultra-long battery life

The X Buds 3T Pro earphones have an average battery life of 6 hours when the noise reduction mode is turned off and used with the charging case; Battery life can extend up to 24 hours. On top of that, It supports fast charging technology, charging for 10 minutes and listening to songs for 3 hours. In addition, the charging box also supports the Qi wireless charging standard.


Automatic Detecting when headphones are on and off

The Smart Wear Detection function is a nice feature to have. Already available in the Apple Earbuds. When you take off one headphone, the music automatically stops, and when you put the headphones back in your ears, the music automatically continues playing. This feature is helpful in everyday activities when you have to take a small break and get the earbud pieces from your ears in favor of other activities. For example, when talking to other people in your surroundings or during sports activity breaks.

Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro Design

Earbuds

The Earbud pieces looked well designed and very lightweight. For the external outer surface of the Buds, Xiaomi used a glossy exterior which gives the buds a metallic-type appearance.

Charging Case

In our opinion, The charging case design looked neat. At first look, The case shell resembles an egg-style design with a curved surfaces plastic surface feels present to hold and should slide perfectly into a small pocket. What we wanted to see in a $170 product is perhaps a digital LED display to show the case battery discharging information (Remaining power).


Wireless Charging Support

The Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro case supports traditional USB Type-C wired charging, including wireless charging. In our test, we successfully managed to Charge the case using an original 15W (Max) HUAWEI Wireless Charger. Remember that this feature should also work if you have a compatible Qi charger from other brands.

Charging Status Light Indicator

Xiaomi Keep it simple. The charger battery indicator uses a tiny LED light that lights up during the charging process when connected with a Type-C cable or a wireless charger. When additional charging is needed, it will turn red and green when fully charged.

Operation

Xiaomi placed a pairing on the bottom of the charging case. When the mobile device does not recognize the Earbuds, it’s necessary to press the button for a few seconds until they are recognized. In-ear detection function is also a helpful addition. When you remove your Earbuds from the ears, the connected mobile device will automatically enter a pause mode, stopping any activity. This function not only helps during breaks
but also conserves battery power.

Sound Quality

Xiaomi delivered well in the sound quality department. The sound produced by the earbuds was rich and clear, with an excellent noticeable bass effect. When we raise the handest volume levels to the maximum, the sound levels are above average but not too intense for the ears. Plus, we didn’t notice any distortion at a higher volume.

AAC Codec Support

If you are an owner of a Xiaomi handset, you have an option to use the latest AAC codec implemented in Apple products. This codec can transmit data at high compression and low latency while maintaining lower power consumption. This experimental feature worked well for us when tested using our POCO X3 Handset running under the latest MIUI 12.5.7 software.


A better way to control your Earbuds

Android users seeking a better method to control all Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro functions, such as power usage, Noise cancellation levels, including battery power consumption, can download and install Mi Buds M8. This earbuds control application worked well for us. It supports 12 different languages, plus It’s intuitive and straightforward to use, and you got comprehensive support for all of the latest Xiaomi Earbud models under one App.

Other Special Features

Audio to pause when you remove your earbuds

Like Apple iPod products, the auto-pause when removing earbuds feature worked well for us. Once you remove both earbuds from your ears, it automatically enters an audio pause mode. If you’re playing a video, it will also pause it immediately. A useful feature if you’re taking a break or need to charge the earbuds and want to get back to the exact spot where you paused.


Active Noise Cancellation & Transparency modes, what are the differences?

With Active Noise Cancellation, the microphones detect external sounds that your Eadphones Max counterbalances with anti-noise, canceling the external sounds before you hear them. In contrast, the transparency mode lets outside sound in, so you can listen to what’s happening around you.


Earbuds Design: Buds 3 vs. Buds 3T Pro

N addition to the rather significant price difference between Buds 3 AND Buds 3T Pro, there are a few design changes worth mentioning; for Example, in the 3T Pro model, the talking microphone was moved to the tip of the Earbuds, and charging contacts were re-positioned on the sides. Also, the Earbud of the 3T Pro is shorter by about ~5mm in length compared to the 3 Buds, making it more comfortable and lightweight to wear. Because the 3T Pro Earphones are shorter, the case size is also a bit smaller.

Software

The Mi Buds M8 is a great neat app with a long list of Xiaomi earbud devices. It’s easy to operate and very user-friendly.

Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro Review – Price & Availability

The current retail price of the earbuds is about $170. Once we have official sale links, we will post them along with personal testing information in this article.


Final verdict

The Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro are excellent earbuds that produce good sound quality. Mobile Software support for Android OS is also excellent. Our ears didn’t notice a huge difference in sound quality between T3 Pro and the Buds 3 model. None Pro users not enthusiastic about Hi-Fi sound quality can settle on buying the standard Buds 3 at a price of $70.


Q&A

According to our evaluation, the Redmi bud series are fashionable, cost-effective, comfortable to wear, and produce good sound quality.
