Xiaomi\u2019s spin-off brand Redmi made its mark on the entry-level audio segment earlier this year with its $23 Redmi Earbuds S truly wireless buds. Now, the company\u2019s back with a new product \u2014 the Redmi SonicBass neckbuds.<\/p>\n

I prefer the neckbuds form factor over truly wireless buds any day as I don\u2019t have to get them out of the case every time I need to use them \u2014 I can keep the former hanging around my neck whenever I am not using them.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been using the Redmi SonicBass neckbuds for over a month now, and despite some missing features, they\u2019re a good pair for just \u20b9999 ($13.50).<\/p>\n

Design and features<\/h2>\n

The Redmi SonicBass features a largely generic design with plastic and rubberized materials. It\u2019s lightweight at 21 grams and flexible enough to be kept in a pocket or your bag without worrying about damage.<\/p>\n

The IPX4 rating helps keep sweat and water off and makes it bearable to wear it for a long duration. I used the pair during my workouts and they fit me well.<\/p>\n

The Redmi SonicBass can connect to multiple devices using Bluetooth 5.0. However, the pair doesn\u2019t support any high-quality codecs such as AptX.<\/p>\n

While the world is moving to USB-C, this pair still charges with MicroUSB. While most people might still have a rouge MicroUSB cable around the house, it would\u2019ve been nice if the company shipped one in the box.<\/p>\n

Sound and performance<\/h2>\n

The earbuds feature a 9.2mm dynamic driver to produce the sound. The reproduction is good for that spec, but it doesn\u2019t do justice to the \u2018sonic bass\u2019 moniker. For a pair that costs \u20b9999, it does its job and it\u2019s fine for your background listening or calls. However, there are some areas that need improvement.<\/p>\n

The bass is often flabby; you can notice this while listening to Bliie Elish\u2019s hit Bad Guy<\/em>. You\u2019ll experience a rattling sound in your ears.<\/p>\n
