The Redmi AirDots 3 – Farewell to the old fashion earphone that came with a wire for its connection to devices as the AirDot comes wireless with better performance and with easy usage. The Redmi AirDots 3 earbuds is one of such technological advancement from Xiaomi. It features an aptX audio codec and Bluetooth 5.3 technology support that provide better sound quality and a stable phone-earbuds connection. It also comes with a noise cancellation system which will be a panacea for better phone calls.
The Redmi AirDots 3 earbuds have a rechargeable battery with an increased capacity of 600mAh that was built into the case which allows you to enjoy music for up to 7 hours without interruption to use the case and up to 30 hours with using it.
Design, Comfort And Battery Life
Xiaomi has maintained the oval shape for both the charging case and the wireless earbuds just like what is obtainable with Redmi AirDots, the Redmi AirDots 2, and the Redmi AirDots S.
The changes brought to the AirDots 3 are the improved 600mAh battery capacity and the USB-C-powered case which is less pocketable this time around. The case now has the capacity to recharge the earbuds four times fully, providing the earbuds with up to 7 hours of battery life per charge.
The remarkable 7-hour playtime has made the AirDots 3 more comfortable compare to when its battery could only give 4 hours of playtime. Its oval shape on the inside is very comfortable for medium-sized and larger ears.
Having resistant to light rain and sweat only means that extra care must be given to it when in a wet environment. The glossy finish of the sides makes the AirDots 3 more appealing.
Connectivity And Control Breakdown

The control on Redmi earbuds is just a two-way thing and they are;
- Double-tap R to play/pause music
- Double-tap L to activate the voice assistant
With the single tap function missing, there are no commands to change tracks or volume on the earbuds themselves.
Taking out the earbud automatically pauses the music play will only resume once the earbud is put back. This functions perfectly well.
An earbud is good enough to use if the second one is low and requires charging. You can continue listening in stereo again when you take the charged bud out again. switching from two earbuds to one will always require you to resume playback yourself to continue listening.
Bluetooth 5.2 is one of the selling points of the Redmi AirDots 3, but the impact isn’t that big over 5.0. It still holds its connection strongly up to ten meters away from your device and holds well in areas crowded with wireless signals.
Excellent performance on Calls And Watching Movies
The Redmi AirDots 3 features a spot-on synchronization on iPhone, Android and the challenging YouTube app which makes watching videos more fun. The only setback is a delay in sound effects when playing games which happens on almost all wireless earphones.
To get the very best out of the AirDots 3 during calls means you will have to avoid a noisy environment as the product has an average to good call quality.
The AirDots 3 makes it much easier to make a video call or a Zoom meeting. Although your voice may have a slight hiss underneath it, you still sound loud and clear and so do people on the other end of the line.
Crystal Clear Sound Quality

Expect a sound upper-mid tones from the AirDots 3 with brighter instruments like violins, trumpets, and lighter piano play. Thanks to the enormous effort put in to revamp the sound quality.
The focus on the brighter tones brings out a clear vocal sound for both male and female voices. Watching videos or listening to music, voices will always come louder than the rest of the sound.
The AirDots crystal clear sound can be flat or thin because the Redmi offers little to no bass effect to counter the higher tones. The entire lower frequencies are reduced to a little mid-bass slam. Don’t go looking for the deepest darkest sub-bass rumbles too as you’ll rarely encounter them. The AirDots 3 is purely functional in the lower tones.
The AirDots 3 displays an inoffensive clear sound that’s good for podcasts or explanatory videos but lacks too much dynamics and punches to make genres like pop, dance, and electronic music engaging.
Below are the Xiaomi Redmi AirDots 3 specs:
- Bluetooth 5.2 with AptX Adaptive codec
- IPX4 waterproof rating (sweat and light rain resistant)
- 6 – 7 hours listening on a full charge
- The charging case can charge earpieces fully 4 times
- Comes with 3 sizes ear tips and USB-C cable
- $45 or check price on AliExpress (possibly cheaper here)
Redmi Airdot 3 Vs Redmi Airdot 2
The Xiaomi Redmi AirDots 2 has a thinner compact case, smaller earbuds, and actual buttons instead of touch panels. With micro-USB charging and 3-4 hours battery life, it’s not as modern as the AirDots 3. Soundwise, the AirDots 3 sounds brighter with more extended highs, but the 2 has more body in the bass and lower mids. Even though the AirDots 2 can sound tinny itself, it sounds fuller. Put the 2’s ear tips on the 3, and the sound of the 3 gains weight in the lows as well.
Redmi Airdot 3 Vs Edifier X3
The Edifier X3 shares some similarities with the Airdot 3 but the 7-hour performance of the Airdot 3 gives it an edge. The X3 comes with micro-USB or USB-C in a newer version, is cheaper, and just as good as an allrounder. It’s convenient for phone calls but has 6 hours battery life as compare to the Airdot 3 and has a brilliant compact case. It has a more engaging sound, too, with further extended upper-mids and highs and added mid-bass punch, especially beneficial for modern music genres like dance-pop.
