EarFun Free 2S
Score: 76/100
Xiaomi Redmi Buds 6 Play 10mm Black
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Xiaomi Redmi Buds 6 Play offer an ultra-budget true wireless experience with a 10 mm driver, AI-enhanced call clarity, and a remarkable 36 hours of total battery life thanks to fast charging. They miss active noise cancellation and have a single driver that limits sound depth. Best suited for commuters and students who prioritize endurance and lightweight comfort.
The EarFun Free 2S provides IPX7 protection, wireless charging and an app-based EQ in a lightweight package, appealing to active users on a budget. However, its modest 7 mm drivers, lack of ANC and limited battery life keep it from competing with higher-end models. Best for users who prioritize affordability, water resistance and customization over premium audio performance.

Professional reviewers acknowledge that the Redmi Buds 6 Play deliver solid value for budget-conscious buyers, emphasizing the standout battery life, lightweight construction, AI-enhanced call clarity, and stable Bluetooth 5.4 connection. However, they caution that the single driver and absence of active noise cancellation keep the audio performance and feature set below premium offerings.
Everyday users consistently praise the earbuds for their long battery endurance, feather-light comfort, intuitive touch controls, and the convenience of five EQ presets. Common complaints revolve around the missing active noise cancellation, limited sound depth from a single driver, and the lack of an ambient or transparency mode for situational awareness.
