Xiaomi Buds 6<\/strong> are a pair of wireless earbuds developed in collaboration with HARMAN<\/strong> and are aimed at users who want a pair of comfortable and feature-rich headphones for both Android and iPhone. During the test period, I have primarily used them with an iPhone, which worked without any issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One feature worth highlighting for iPhone users is the support for Apple Find My. For someone who, like me, occasionally manages to misplace their gadgets, this can be a highly appreciated feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfort and design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I am not particularly fond of earbuds with rubber tips because I have never really been comfortable with the feeling of having them in my ears. Therefore, the Xiaomi<\/em> Buds 6 suit me very well. The open design makes them comfortable to wear for long periods, while also feeling easier to clean compared to models with silicone tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each earbud weighs only 4.4 grams, contributing to the low weight and high comfort. Xiaomi Buds 6<\/em> are also available in four colors: Nebula Purple<\/strong>, Graphite Black<\/strong>, Pearl White<\/strong> (the test unit) and Titan Grey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound quality<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Xiaomi Buds 6<\/em> offer high-resolution audio with support for 24-bit\/48 kHz and a transmission rate of up to 2.1 Mbps. The frequency range is specified as 16\u201340 kHz, which sounds impressive on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In practice, the sound quality is perfectly acceptable, but I would have liked a bit more punch and energy in the soundstage, especially when listening to music. The sound is clean and balanced, but lacks that little something extra that really makes the music come alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noise cancellation and call quality<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The earbuds are equipped with active noise cancellation, but here they don’t quite reach the level of the best competitors on the market. Compared to, for example, JBL Live Flex 3<\/a><\/strong>, I find the noise cancellation to be somewhat weaker and not as effective in noisy environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xiaomi<\/em> states that the Buds 6 <\/em>have wind noise reduction that handles wind speeds up to 12 m\/s. During my tests, a clear difference was still noticeable between speaking in calm environments and being out in the city. The voice still comes through, but the quality degrades slightly when it’s windy. At the same time, this is a common issue even with many other wireless headphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the Buds 6 work very well for long phone calls thanks to the open and comfortable design. For someone like me who prefers earbuds without rubber tips, they are a nice alternative for everyday use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
