Review on Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2S: Bluetooth 5.0 Touch Control Stereo Gaming Mode Headphones with Mic - Redmi Airdots 2S by Agata Asztemborska ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Normal product, but wanted more for the money.

This product is an entire narrative about "fixing what was not broken." I'll state up front that some of these things will function entirely differently from earlier models, so please read the instructions carefully. Shall we begin to gripe? I'm about to begin. Of sure, the touch panel is a good feature, however when activated, random triggers are annoying. Also, if you put it incorrectly, they will switch off when your ear hits the panel and recognize it as a lengthy press. If you don't fix them quickly away, they may even manage to turn back on occasionally. The proximity sensor stops playback when you move your jaw, and the earpiece slightly protrudes from your ear (this is typical). If autopause had a signal to go with with it, everything would be perfect, but since it doesn't, you have to guess whether there is a pause, an internet connection issue, or a dead phone. Moreover, autopause when used with iOS does not always function, notably frequently when playing videos. I have the impression that they are generally not very nice toward the apple and even collaborate grudgingly. I don't blame the case for only working with mi devices because that is how it was written on the packaging. Also, switching from micro-usb to type-c may please some, but for a dinosaur like me, a wire has to be purchased separately. The cherry on top is that, after less than two months of use, the left earpiece stopped steaming, Bluetooth stopped functioning totally, and today it completely quit working; it doesn't even want to charge. At any point during this torment, neither resets nor contacts wiping worked. In general, I'm not all that unhappy, but I'll replace it with an older model that, despite being smarter, has never given me any particular trouble.

Pros
  • Very great tactile feel, good plastic, snug fit; great value for the money; As opposed to earlier generations, the low battery warning sound is now placed on the playing sound rather than replacing it entirely.
Cons
  • The proximity sensor works too well, charging cases for iOS do not work, autopause does not always function, and the touch panel is very simple to put on by accident; At first, a peculiar system with inclusion from the case with the lid open was annoying.
