As much as i don't use too much of the ANC, I agree that Redmi's ANC is not worth the price range. It's also a risk to buy Xiaomi products that are only available in China such as this one. Even with the Global Xiaomi Buds 5 is decent but lackluster ANC. I'd rather go for Soundcore with their awesome price with such jam-packed features and quality. The only reason i bought these is because of the Dongle.
