What’s warped
- These are very nicely built ergonomic earphones. You get a braided cable and the ear tips are offered in different sizes which makes this just not a very comfortable set of earbuds, but also very reliable as these buds don’t get cluttered with dirt very quickly.
- At the end of the day, it all boils down to sound quality — they sound fantastic. The highs are not uncomfortably sharp, there is ample bass so that you can feel a thump while everything is acoustically balanced with a creamy mid-range. It sounds very decent for all kinds of music.
- These earbuds also shine through with video content. There is great stereo separation for videos on streaming services like Netflix you can watch shows like Altered Carbon and everything sounds incredibly moody.
- Their incredible price of Rs 750 has to be their biggest USP. There simply isn’t an audio product from a mainstream consumer electronics brand that delivers such high performance at such low cost.
What’s not
- They aren’t the most attractive looking earbuds. They are designed in a functional way, but they look quite ugly which may not be to the liking of fashionistas.
- The microphone could’ve been better which could’ve made for better call quality.
To buy or not to buy?
Ignore the price for once, and just judge the Mi Dual Driver earphones on the basis of their performance. They will almost always surprise you with a very high standard of sound, working across different genres of music, movies and even calls. At the same time, they may not look very attractive but they are built to last. Combine all of these traits with its unbeatable Rs 750 price, the question isn’t of should you buy them but when.
