Called the Redmi Earbuds S, the earbuds are essentially the same as the Redmi AirDots S, which were launched in China last month, and feature a 7.2mm driver, connect over Bluetooth 5.0, offer IPX4 protection, and promise up to 12 hours of battery life. In terms of design, the Earbuds S follows the same design as the Redmi AirDots S. They come in only one color option: Black, and are IPX4-rated for water resistance. Similar to most other TWS earphones, the Earbuds S also offers touch controls for music controls and quick access to the voice assistant.
As for the internals, the Redmi Earbuds S feature a 7.2mm driver unit and are powered by the Realtek RTL8763BFR chip. The company suggests the earbuds feature a low latency gaming mode, which, just as it sounds, reduces the latency while gaming to offer a seamless experience with reduced delay in sound. Users can simply triple-tap on the earbuds to enable the low latency gaming mode. Furthermore, they can also double-tap on the earbuds to launch the voice assistant and perform a single tap to skip tracks. Talking about one of the crucial aspects of TWS earbuds, the battery — the Earbuds S comes with a 43mAh battery on the earbuds and a 300mAh battery on the charging case. The earbuds suggest offering up to 4 hours of battery life on a single charge, which can be extended up to 12 hours with the charging case.
