Redmi Buds 8 Active Leaks Show Design and Price Ahead of Launch

Redmi Buds 8 Active Leak Report

The Redmi sub-brand owned by Xiaomi is getting ready to introduce a new budget option for its TWS earphone range called the Redmi Buds 8 Active. This new model is a slightly less expensive version to the current models being sold under this brand, namely the Redmi Buds 8 Lite, as those are the entry level options. Leaked information on this headset has suggested that the earbuds will come with an in-ear or open-style design (which uses a silicone ear tip), that they will retail for approximately €19.99, and that they will feature a titanium diaphragm driver and come equipped with different types of connections. Xiaomi has not confirmed these details yet, and officials said more information is expected in the coming weeks.

Redmi Buds 8 Active Design and Leaks

Leaked renders shared by YTechB suggest the Buds 8 Active will adopt a semi in ear or open fit silhouette. The design appears to carry a stem similar to the Buds 8 Lite, while the ear tips look like silicone variants rather than the purely open style seen on some other models. The charging case seems to resemble the Buds 8 Lite case, and the color options cited in the leaks include Blue, Black, and White. There is an implication that the design and visuals of the product represent a low-cost option, given the small size of the case and the lightweight form factor is suitable for regular usage.

In terms of launch and pricing, it is reportedly going to be around EUR 19.99 or the equivalent to approximately Rs 2100; however, actual pricing may vary depending on the region. The price of the Redmi Buds 8 Lite is approximately EUR 22.99 (or Rs 2500) in Europe. So if the rumoured price is true, then this new product will be more cost-effective than its non-active variant, positioning Redmi once again as a low-cost alternative in the TWS category.

Along with the leakage detailing all the various hardware and software specifications, it also shows good battery performance.The Buds 8 Active are tipped to use a 14.2 mm dynamic driver with a titanium diaphragm and to support the AAC audio codec. For calls, a dual microphone setup with AI powered noise reduction is expected, along with wind noise reduction support of up to 6 meters per second. On the connectivity side, the device is said to include Bluetooth 5.4, Google Fast Pair, and dual device connection or multipoint support, with compatibility to the Xiaomi Earbuds app.

Battery and charging details are also highlighted. Each Redmi Buds 8 Active earbud is expected to pack a 37 mAh battery, while the charging case carries a 475 mAh cell. Playback time is estimated at about 7 hours on a single charge, with total battery life reaching up to 37 hours when the ear buds and case are used together. Charging is said to take roughly 1 hour for the buds and about 2.5 hours for the case via USB Type C.

Additional Context and Next Steps

Visuals in the leaks indicate the Buds 8 Active depart from the full silicone tip sealing approach of the Buds 8 Lite by adopting an open fit. The case styling appears to be in line with the Buds 8 Lite, reinforcing the notion that the Active variant emphasizes cost efficiency while retaining key features like a multi color option and a similar charging solution. While the color options and the general design cues are clear in the leaked material, no official confirmation has been issued by Xiaomi. More information is expected in the coming weeks as listings surface or the company shares official imagery or a timing detail.
