Key Highlights
Xiaomi Japan launched the REDMI Buds 8 Pro on February 24, priced around ¥9,980, with an early-bird discount of ¥8,980 until March 9.
The earbuds feature a coaxial triple-driver system combining an 11mm titanium dynamic driver and dual 6.7mm PZT ceramic tweeters for Hi-Res audio.
Supporting LDAC and Bluetooth 5.4, the REDMI Buds 8 Pro deliver high-resolution wireless audio with improved bandwidth and stable low-latency connectivity.
Xiaomi positions the REDMI Buds 8 Pro as a clear technical step-up from its Lite sibling, and the engineering choices back that narrative. The coaxial triple-driver layout is particularly interesting at this price tier: placing dual ceramic tweeters on the same acoustic axis as the dynamic woofer is less about headline complexity and more about phase coherence. In theory, this should tighten transient response and reduce the smearing often heard in budget multi-driver TWS designs. Combined with a rigid titanium diaphragm handling low and mid frequencies, the tuning philosophy leans toward speed and separation rather than the overtly boosted low end common in mass‑market earbuds. The inclusion of spatial processing and adaptive sound profiles further suggests Xiaomi is targeting versatility across content types, not just music playback, though purists may view these DSP layers as optional seasoning rather than the main course.
