If you're thinking about pulling the plugs and going wireless, congratulations! You have several good choices for your picking. But if you're hesitating to try Bluetooth Earphones, then you should give the Redmi AirDots a go. It's one of the most impressive yet very affordable gadgets out there.
For its low price point, the AirDots offers decent, good sound quality, thanks to its 7.2mm dynamic drivers. These wireless earphones has a microphone and run on Bluetooth 5.0, making it quick in connectivity with your device.
The earphones also come in three different sized ear tips to provide a better, comfortable and snug fit for your ears. Might we add that the earphones are splashproof and can resist some sweating but we would recommend staying away from the rain.
In terms of controls, however, they aren't the best. The fidgety buttons on the buds offer the option to pause (with a single click), and Google Assistant or Siri (with double clicks) - and they may hurt when you use (push) them. But, they do sound good overall for a cheap piece. Bass lovers can rest assure that ample is given, though the AirDots are not as full in sound.
Overall, the earphones give pricier competitors a run for their money, especially with the charging case which offers a total of up to 12 hours of battery life. Truly perfect for those who need a budget wireless earphone.

Reviews of the Redmi AirDots
"Xiaomi has proven once again that you don’t have to spend silly money to get a great product. The AirDots are good sounding buds that tuck neatly into your ears and avoid the silly dangling appearance of other, more expensive, offerings." - TechAdvisor UK
"The (Xiaomi) Redmi Airdots are, as in Xiaomi’s tradition, super-affordable “true wireless” earphones that offer good value for the money – though they are not exempt from criticism." - Soundphile Review
"The Xiaomi Redmi AirDots aren’t all bad especially if you just want a pair of TWS earphones that won’t put your bank account in the red. However, if you take your audio quality very seriously and are willing to spend a little more, there are other better options." - Vernon Chan
"If you are not a big fan of (high) sound quality, these earphones are suitable for you. Actually, at the affordable price, the sound quality of these earphones is quite good." - GizmoChina
