The Redmi Buds 8 Pro are true wireless earbuds from Xiaomi’s Redmi sub-brand and replace the Redmi Buds 6 Pro. They sit in the upper-budget to mid-range TWS tier. The model number is M2535E1, and the body is a stem-style semi-in-ear design. Each earbud has three drivers: an 11mm titanium dynamic driver and a 6.7mm ceramic driver, with a dual DAC. Codecs include LHDC, LC3, AAC, SBC and MIHC 2.0. Xiaomi quotes ANC of up to 55 dB. Connectivity is Bluetooth 5.4 with dual-device connection and Google Fast Pair, and the buds are rated IP54.

Xiaomi rates the buds at 8 hours per charge and 33 hours with the case. Five minutes on the charger gives 2 hours of playback. The case holds 480 mAh and charges over USB-C. The earbud cell size is unconfirmed: one source lists 54 mAh and another 30 mAh. In testing, battery life with ANC on was about 4.5 hours, well under the 8-hour rating.

In Europe the Buds 8 Pro cost €69.99. Elsewhere they list at $95.81 AUD in Australia, 5,399 EGP in Egypt and Rs. 14,999 in Nepal. They fit Android users who want strong ANC and LHDC support at a price well below AirPods or flagship Sony models. Inside the lineup, they sit above the Redmi Buds 8 and replace the Redmi Buds 6 Pro. Outside it, they compete with the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro and the Realme Buds Air 7. The closest direct comparison is the CMF by Nothing Buds Pro 2, which targets the same price and the same ANC-first buyer.

Audio

Driver size and type Driver size and driver type refer to the physical dimensions and internal technology of the small speaker inside headphones or earbuds that turns electrical signals into sound.	11mm titanium dynamic driver plus 6.7mm ceramic driver, with a dual DAC
Codecs A codec is a hardware or software tool that compresses digital media (like audio, video, or images) into a smaller file size for storage or transmission, and then decompresses it so you can play or view it	AAC, LHDC, MIHC and LC3 (SBC also supported)
Hi-Res Audio certification A Hi-Res Audio certification is a technical standard—administered by the Japan Audio Society (JAS) and recognized globally—that indicates an audio device or file can reproduce higher-quality sound than a standard compact disc (CD)
Spatial audio / Dolby Atmos support Spatial audio is a general term for any sound technology that creates a 3D listening environment, making sounds appear to come from all around you—including the front, sides, behind, and even overhead—rather than just flat left and right channels.
Equalizer / app tuning An equalizer (or EQ) is an audio tool that lets you raise or lower specific frequency ranges (such as bass, midrange, or treble) to reshape the balance of sound. App tuning means using an equalizer built into a music app, phone settings, or headphone companion app to customize how your audio sounds

Noise control

ANC type and max depth ANC stands for Active Noise Cancellation, a technology that uses built-in microphones to detect outside background noise and create an opposite sound wave to erase it	adaptive ANC that adjusts in real time to your environment and how you wear the buds, rated up to 55 dB
Transparency mode Transparency mode is a headphone feature that lets you hear real-world sounds at the same time as your music, podcasts, or calls
Mic count The mic count on TWS (True Wireless Stereo) earbuds refers to the total number of built-in micro-telephones (microphones) packed into the pair of earbuds to pick up your voice and handle noise reduction	6 in total, which retailers describe as 3 per earbud
Call noise reduction Call noise reduction (often called microphone noise cancellation, call noise suppression, or Environmental Noise Cancellation [ENC]) is a technology that cleans up your voice during a phone call or video chat by filtering out background noise
Wind noise reduction Wind noise reduction is a technology or technique used to block, filter, or suppress the low-frequency rumble and distortion caused when air blows directly across a microphone diaphragm

Battery and charging For TWS Earphones

Earbud battery An earbud battery is a tiny, rechargeable power cell—usually a small lithium-ion coin cell—built into a wireless earphone to store energy and run its internal electronics	54 mAh
Case battery A battery case is a protective phone cover that has a built-in rechargeable battery to extend the power life of a smartphone	480 mAh
Playback per charge Playback per charge (also called playtime or listening time per charge) is the amount of continuous time a device—such as wireless earbuds, headphones, or a speaker—can play audio on a single, full battery cycle before it needs to be recharged	up to 8 hours under Xiaomi’s test conditions. Real-world use with ANC on is about 4.5 hours.
Total playback with case Total playback with case means the combined total number of hours wireless earbuds can play audio before both the earbuds and the charging case run completely out of power and need to be plugged into a wall outlet or charger	up to 33 hours
Charging port and wireless charging support A charging port is the physical slot or plug-in connector on a device (like a USB-C or Lightning port) where you insert a cable to power the battery or transfer data. Wireless charging support means a device can receive power and charge its battery without needing a cable plugged into that port, using magnetic fields instead	USB-C. Wireless charging is not listed
Fast charge Fast charging is a technology that recharges a device's battery much faster than standard charging methods (typically moving past a basic 5-watt baseline up to 20W, 100W, or higher)	5 minutes gives 2 hours of playback
Full charge time Full charge time is the total duration required to restore a battery from a completely discharged state (0%) to 100% capacity	not published
