Unboxing Pictures
Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro consists of earbuds, a case, a USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable, and a user manual.
You have three additional pairs of silicone tips that you can adjust to your ear. The design of these ear tips is quite special, where the earpiece has small holes.
Design, Build, and Features
The case is quite compact. Overall, it uses a matte finish, giving the impression of luxury. It also adds grip and is less prone to scratches. The buds are predominantly matte, with a slightly glossy finish spanning the stems.
On the bottom part, there is the USB Type-C port for charging. It takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes to fully charge it through wired charging. In addition, it supports wireless charging.
The button located next to the USB-C port allows you to switch to pairing mode while remaining pressed and know the remaining battery level by pressing it once.
If the light remains green, more than 40% charge is left. If it is red, under 40%, and if it flashes red, you need to recharge.
For the earbuds, the design is not the most original, but the color is the same as the case. Each earbud weighs 4.9 grams and, when combined with the feeding case, will only reach 51 grams.
For the tactile part, you will pinch the stem to use the controls. Once to pause or play. Twice to change songs, three times to go back, and finally press for a few seconds to switch noise cancellation modes between transparent, off, and on.
How to Connect Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro?
It's very easy. You just activate Bluetooth on your cellphone and open the earbuds case. After that, a notification will pop up asking you to Connect. Upon successful connection, you will see the battery capacity in the earbuds and the case.
Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro Interface
The special feature of the Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro is the ability to enable or deactivate Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) and Code Changes, be it SBC, AAC, or LHDC. The Bluetooth code for LHDC is immediately changed to SBC, and gamers can set the latency to a low value. The remainder is comparable to other Xiaomi TWS.
Sound Quality
The Buds 3T Pro, like most earbuds today, are equipped with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), which helps silence ambient noise and lets your ears enjoy the sound of songs and films played through the earphones.
These earbuds support SBC and AAC audio codecs, as well as LHDC 4.0, which allows for the playback of Hi-Res audio tracks; the output supports 24 bits/48 kHz. The fact that these earbuds are audio-capable indicates that they are capable of producing high-quality sound.
This speaker has a good frequency response, as well as a solid mix and overall balance. Even when transitioning between music and spoken word, the sound never becomes excessively bass-heavy or shrill. This is a positive feature, as we don't want to damage our hearing, and when switching on the noise canceling, the volume is loud enough to enjoy music.
Active Noise Cancelling on the Buds 3T Pro is available in four different modes: Adaptive, Light, Balanced, and Deep. This Adaptive will enable adaptability for the earbuds to detect the surrounding environment. Light and Balanced merely lessen a portion of the noise that is deemed excessive. In the meantime, Deep here effectively muffled the surrounding environment.

Conclusion
Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro are comfortable to wear, create balanced music that is enhanced by the ANC features, and have a battery life long enough to support your daily activities, whether you're out for lengthy walks, driving, or taking public transportation, without having to worry about recharging soon.
Thanks to the LDHC 4.0 codec, the Buds 3T Pro also offers Hi-Res Audio for those of you who appreciate it. As a result, LHDC is a viable alternative to Qualcomm aptX and Sony LDAC. In addition, the LHDC 4.0 on the Buds 3T Pro currently only supports the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro as the company's most recent flagship smartphones.
