Redmi Earbuds 3 Pro review: Decent feature-set letdown by bad audio tuning

Xiaomi is now the world's second-largest manufacturer of wireless earbuds, with the likes of the $72 Buds 3 Pro holding their own among the best wireless earbuds in the market today. Xiaomi offers products under its own label as well as the Redmi brand, with the latter focused more on the value category. 

 I liked the entry-level Redmi Earbuds S that were released back in 2020, and Xiaomi has rolled out several products in the budget wireless audio segment in the last 18 months. The latest is the Earbuds 3 Pro, and Xiaomi is offering a lot here: these earbuds feature a dual-driver design, include Qualcomm's high-end AptX codec, and last over seven hours on a full charge. 

  Redmi Earbuds 3 Pro: Price and availability

Xiaomi released the Redmi Earbuds 3 Pro during the launch event for the Redmi 10 Prime back in Q3 2021. The earbuds made their debut for ₹2,999 ($40), but are now available on Amazon India for ₹2,499 ($33).

 Xiaomi hasn't rolled out the Redmi Earbuds 3 Pro in most global markets, instead focusing on the similarly-named Redmi Buds 3 Pro. These earbuds have wireless charging, a better overall fit, and you can easily customize the sound. The Redmi Buds 3 Pro are sold in most regions where Xiaomi has an official presence — including the U.S. — for $72.
