Realme Buds Wireless vs Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones
The Realme Buds Wireless and the Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones are two of the most affordable wireless options on the market from the competing Chinese brands. Both feature a neckband style design and both are within spitting distance of each other in terms of pricing. And despite the low price, both also offer the peace of mind that comes with products from know brands instead of the many cookie cutter alternatives littering Amazon.
So, which one should you choose if you happen to want low priced wireless earphones? We spent some time with both these options to see which one comes out on top.
Design
Both the Realme Buds and the Mi Neckband employ a neckband-style design, with cables emanating out of each end. It's a tried and tested design and, in our experience, we've never had any issues with this form factor. We prefer them over a cable tethering us to our phones, even if it may not be truly wireless like the AirPods.
The neckband on the Xiaomi has a more rigid, flattened design than most neckband-style earphones. The neckband is still flexible, but it doesn't quite collapse and crumple into smaller size like some other models, including the Realme Buds. This means you can't exactly fold it to keep it in your pocket.
The Realme design is more flexible, which means it can be bent into any shape and squeezed into your pocket.
The Mi Neckband body is made entirely out of plastic. It's not necessarily cheap but there is no pretense of opulence here, either. The cables coming out of both ends are also rather thin and kept their kinks even after being outside of the packaging for several weeks. The earphone casing is made out of metal, although it's very lightweight.
Note
Realme buds are best and the preference is given only for the bass sound effect.
