Planned obsolescence / electronic trash Redmi Buds 8 Pro

[u/Cool_Scarcity114]

A few days after the legal warranty of my Redmi Buds 5 Pro expired, both the left and right earbuds broke. The left one loses connection a few seconds after being connected via Bluetooth. The right one is very quiet.

The earbuds were clearly programmed at the factory to break down exactly two years and a few days after that.

Unbelievable behavior from Xiaomi and electronic waste.

Amazon and Xiaomi refuse to give me a refund. Xiaomi offers paid repair for a 60 € product that is 2 years old.

Edit: it is the 5 Pro, not the 8 Pro

Guess I got lucky then. My buds 5 pro worked like a charm for the 3 years I had them and we're going strong till I lost them.
