They come after two a series of proposals that has been appreciated by the public for a particularly convincing mix of elements, consisting largely of production quality and competitive prices. We are talking about Redmi Buds 3, the new wireless headphones that, once again, have chosen to attract attention thanks to a detail that, certainly, will not leave indifferent.
They are ready to debut in the land of the Dragon the new earphones of the Chinese company, Xiaomi brand that came to light in 2013. Last in order of time of a collection that has enjoyed good success on the world market, the wireless headphones of the third generation focus on TWS technology that brings them to the levels of many competitors from the cost much higher. And it is precisely this element to make them very attractive to those who do not want to give up the practicality of these small wearable brand from the form semi in-ear, given the presence of the two stems that house the microphones for phone conversations without having to resort to the use of the smartphone. An advantage, that of the price, which could last a short time: here's why.
Redmi Buds 3: a very low price (but for a short time)
The new Redmi earphones will be able to count on a really small launch price. It will be a bonus for those who choose to participate in the crowdfunding that will take place in the initial phase: only 159 yuan (about 20 euros at today's exchange rate) starting tomorrow, September 8. Subsequently, the cost will rise - always for China - to 199 yuan, i.e. around 26 euros.
These values, of course, are reserved exclusively for sales at home, while for international markets this could change radically. At the moment, the company has not provided data regarding the price list reserved for foreign countries, so for more information, we will have to wait for the directives from Redmi.
As for Italy, it is quite recent the appearance of the certification that would allow the marketing in the Boot. To date, however, there are no certain dates for the arrival on the physical and virtual shelves of stores. There are many rumors that would like to see them among the protagonists of the Global event, scheduled for September 15, but these are only suppositions without any confirmation from the manufacturer.
Redmi Buds 3, the characteristics
On the technical specifications there are strong doubts. Infatti, le uniche finora rese note sono dedicate al mercato interno che potrebbero differire da quelle implementate per il resto del mondo. Anche in questo caso l’unica arma a disposizione è quella dell’attesa: superata l’impegnativo momento del lancio cinese, l’azienda potrebbe decidere di fornire qualche delucidazione in più per accattivarsi le simpatie del pubblico prima della vendita.
Intanto, le prime descrizioni ufficiali ci possono aiutare a delineare i contorni di questi auricolari. Sono due mini dispositivi dal peso di circa 4,5 grammi, con controlli touch sulla superficie; dotati di driver da 12 mm, hanno una bassa latenza di 95 ms. Dentro troviamo un chip Qualcomm QCC3040 che offre il supporto alla versione 5.2 del Bluetooth e può fare affidamento sul codec di compressione audio aptX.
L’autonomia dichiarata è di 5 ore con una carica, oltre a quella offerta dalla custodia dal design squadrato che permette di arrivare fino a 20 ore di utilizzo totale. Good as well the fast charging function, with 1.5 hours of operation gained in just 10 minutes in the case.
As anticipated, this could vary once you cross the Chinese borders. But, based on what you can admire, the basics bode well for a global proposal of level, similarly to what Redmi proposed in the past.
