About Xiaomi Redmi Buds 5A

The Xiaomi Redmi Buds 5A are a pair of true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds that aim to provide premium features like Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) at an accessible price point. Launched as a budget-friendly option in the TWS market, they offer a solid set of specifications for both casual listening and active lifestyles.

At the core of the audio experience are 12mm dynamic drivers, which are tuned to deliver a clear sound with a focus on deep, punchy bass. The standout feature is the inclusion of ANC, capable of reducing ambient noise by up to 25dB, helping users to immerse themselves in their music or podcasts without distractions from the outside world. This is complemented by a Transparency Mode, which allows users to hear their surroundings when needed, such as when they need to be aware of traffic or announcements.

For connectivity, the Redmi Buds 5A utilize Bluetooth 5.4, which offers a stable and fast connection with a low latency mode of around 60ms—a benefit for gamers and video streamers. The earbuds also support Google Fast Pair, enabling quick and effortless pairing with compatible Android devices.

The earbuds have an IPX4 rating, making them resistant to sweat and splashes, suitable for workouts and outdoor activities. The battery life is impressive, with the earbuds themselves offering up to 5 hours of playback and a total of up to 30 hours when combined with the charging case. A quick 10-minute charge can provide up to 90 minutes of listening time. The earbuds also feature touch controls for managing music playback and calls.
