 ·25 Aug 2025

Xiaomi offers smart wearables that make it easier than ever to stay fit, motivated, and entertained throughout your day.

This includes the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Active and the Redmi Buds 6 Active.

Whether you’re out on a morning run, powering through a gym session, or simply unwinding with your favourite playlist, these Xiaomi wearables are designed to keep up with you.

The Redmi Buds 6 Active delivers punchy sound with smart noise reduction, while the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Active helps you keep up with your health and fitness goals.

Together, they’re the perfect companions for anyone who wants to balance performance, convenience, and style.

Redmi is a sub-brand of Xiaomi that focuses on delivering high-value devices that combine performance and affordability. Xiaomi’s ecosystem then ensures everything connects seamlessly.

This means that no matter which device you choose, you’re getting the best of both worlds – advanced innovation, everyday practicality, and affordability.

Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Active

The Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Active is designed to be your everyday health and fitness companion.

It makes tracking your activity effortless, while being so light and comfortable you’ll forget it’s even on your wrist.

With 100 sports modes (trail running, hiking, cycling, and more), and built-in advanced sensors, the Smart Band 9 Active provides detailed insights into your health and performance – from heart rate to oxygen saturation monitoring and stress levels.

This is great for deciding when to push harder or take it easy on your workouts.

Scientific sleep tracking goes beyond the basic stats as well. The Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Active will analyse your deep sleep, light sleep, and REM cycles to give you a clearer picture of your overall rest, making it easier to build healthier habits.

Its large, vibrant 1.47-inch touch display makes it easy to see these stats at a glance – whether you’re checking your heart rate during a run or keeping tabs on your sleep quality in the morning.

This display is also super responsive thanks to its 60Hz refresh rate, making every swipe feel smooth, and at just 16.5g, the Smart Band 9 Active is barely noticeable on your wrist – ensuring next-level comfort whether you’re at work, training, or sleeping.

The Smart Band 9 Active is fashionable, too, and its small form factor is perfect for a minimalist style – while a replaceable frame and over 100 pre-installed watch faces let you personalise the look to match any outfit or activity.

Practicality is baked in. 5ATM water resistance means you don’t need to think twice about jumping into the pool, going for an open-water swim, or simply keeping it on in the shower after a workout.

The battery life is equally impressive – lasting up to 18 days on a single charge. That means you can head out on a holiday, train consistently, or get through your busiest weeks without constantly worrying about recharging.

Connectivity is just as dependable, with Bluetooth 5.3 keeping the band linked seamlessly to your phone, so every notification, workout stat, or health update syncs instantly without interruptions.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Active is available from Takealot for just R549 today.

Redmi Buds 6 Active

Pairing perfectly with the Smart Band 9 Active, the Redmi Buds 6 Active are built to make your music and calls sound better, wherever your day takes you.

Built for people who want a superior listening experience, the Redmi Buds 6 Active offer an ergonomic fit for all-day comfort – whether you’re lifting weights at the gym, jogging outdoors, or wearing them for hours at your desk.

Once they’re in your ears, they meld seamlessly into your routine.

Tuned by Xiaomi’s own Acoustic Lab, they deliver a richer listening experience to ensure your music hits with deeper bass and clearer detail.

When combined with five built-in EQ settings, your playlists are guaranteed to feel more energising and engaging – whether you’re listening to thumping bass workout jams or casual podcasts with a balanced profile.

Noise reduction technology takes this a step further, ensuring your calls stay clear even in windy or noisy environments – whether you’re commuting, working, or running outdoors.

With Bluetooth 5.4, connectivity is also rock-solid and stable, so you won’t have to deal with drops or lag.

You also don’t need to worry about battery life on your commute or run thanks to the six-hour battery life that extends to 30 hours with the charging case.

If your Redmi Buds 6 Active happen to run low on battery, a simple 10-minute charge will provide one hour of playback – perfect for a quick run or gym session.

The Redmi Buds 6 Active are available from Takealot for just R379 today.
