To tell the truth, both headphones seem quite similar if we look at their specification sheets, but in this post we are going to clarify what the main differences between the two are and, above all, try to help you know which of the two is better suited to your needs. of each type of user.

A very similar design and features, but it is in the sound of both that their main difference lies
We are not going to fool ourselves. The design of these two products are practically traced, from a carrying case with the same elements, colors and features (including Qi wireless charging ), to headphones with an in-ear format with interchangeable silicone tips and touch controls on the cane. of the product.
This can make us assume that their dimensions and weights will not be too different and, in fact, we will be right, although it is surprising that the battery life is a little better in the case of the Xiaomi Buds 3, being able to reach a total of 32 hours of use including charging the case for the 24 hours offered by the 3T Pro.
But beyond all these specifications, the main differences are going to be found in the audio section where, although it is true that the active noise cancellation system that both promise is identical with up to 40 dB , we are going to clearly see how the Buds 3T Pro stand out for a more advanced bluetooth codec and a function that may be key for some of us.
Starting with the codec, we say that these headphones incorporate the new LHDC 4.0 low compression system, which allows them to receive information from the audio source with a quality of 24 bits and 96 kHz , something that is quite far from the maximum AAC codec that they are able to offer the Xiaomi Buds 3.
Of course, we must bear in mind that this new protocol is only compatible with some high-end Xiaomi models, so not all smartphones on the market can take advantage of its capabilities, in addition to the vast majority of streaming music platforms that we use today cannot transmit such an amount of information when we reproduce content from them.
On the other hand, we have to talk about an exclusive function that we find in this model, such as dynamic surround sound, a tool quite similar to the Spatial Audio that Apple offers in some of its products and that promises a much more immersive experience when we play content. .
For practical purposes, this technology creates a virtual environment in which the sound not only comes from the left or right, but also gives us the sensation of being able to hear everything that happens around us and, following the movement of our head, something that , at least on paper, promises a unique experience and at the level of the best headphones on the market that integrate this technology.
Beyond these two specific points, both headphones promise high-level sound quality and a professional sound setting called "Xiaomi HRTF", which will make the sound they emit much more precise and direct, not only supported by this calibration, but on dynamic drivers with different coatings and magnets that allow less dispersion of the audio inside the earphone itself.
Is it worth paying those extra 40 euros?
Well, we got to the point where you can tip the scales for one or another model, and that is none other than the delicate issue of money. In this case, we are talking about headphones that have an official price of 169.99 euros for the Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro and 129.99 euros for the Xiaomi Buds 3, so the difference is relatively important.
Now, whether or not it is worth spending those extra 40 euros to go for the 3T Pro model depends exclusively on each user. Our opinion is that if you are looking for the best experience in terms of sound quality, you will surely appreciate that extra that the Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro will bring you, although you must bear in mind that not all phones are compatible with the LHDC codec. 4.0 to be able to take full advantage of them.
For this reason, we believe that most users will appreciate having better autonomy and audio quality that, although it does not seem to be as good as the Pro model, will be more than decent to have an experience at the level of wireless headphones. that exceed 100 euros.
In short, we think that perhaps the best option for the average user is the Xiaomi Buds 3 since, in general, it has tremendously interesting specifications considering its price and perhaps the additions of the Pro model are not important enough for most. of us.
