I was the happy owner of a first-generation Redmi Airdots for 1000 for two years. but, regrettably, fell short. What can I say to you? Indeed, the sound quality in the third generation is significantly poorer. Every instrumental that isn't even complex gets combined into a monophonic boom, against which nothing stands out, in which low frequencies are higher and high frequencies aren't as noticeable. Hip-hop, rock ranging from heavy to alternative, opera, pop, and jazz were all genres I tried to listen to since I believed they were only "sharpened" for a certain purpose, but the sound still degrades into mush in the same way. Here, the maximum capacity is 20–10% smaller, a considerable decrease. At home, it's okay, but not any longer, and I definitely wouldn't take it for the metro because it's so much lower that it makes music uncomfortable for me to listen on the street at the highest volume. In general, listening to music became less about enjoyment and more about making compromises with oneself and trying to convince oneself that everything was well. You are misguided if you believe that the generation is worth saving. Although new features were added, it appeared as though the sound quality suffered as a result of them, or that there was not enough room inside for something crucial to sound, so they adjusted the design in some way. By the way, none of the ear cushions I tried on were comfortable for me—they were either too wide or too narrow. The input channel itself changed slightly, and since the shape is otherwise the same, this change may be the cause of the issue.
