Redmi earphones and MI Dual-driver both are launched by the same company MI. Both earphones are one of the best in their price range. The Redmi earphone is pretty good under the 500 rupees price range and the MI Dual-driver is good under the 1000 rupees price range. So let's compare the difference between an almost premium earphone with a cheap earphone.

Design and build quality:
Redmi Earphones come with one of the best designs in this price range. The ear cups are good looking with shiny material and it also has a texture. Talking about the Build quality this 400 rupees earphone has the best build at this price segment, the earcups are made with metal and the wire is also pretty thick. If you take care of the earphone it can easily last 1 year.
Talking about the MI Dual-driver they occupied the best build quality spot under 1000 rupees. The lower portion of the wire is fully breaded and the top is made of normal wire but they are pretty sturdy. The ear cups are made of aluminum and the back has a carbon fiber finish. You can say that they are premium earphones just by using them once.

Fitting and comfort:
Talking about fitting, Redmi Earphones struggle to stick in the ear canal because of the small ear cups.
The MI dual-driver fits well due to the 45 degree tilted earplugs. But I can’t say it’s comfortable because the front of the earphone is slightly out of the way.
Music:
Bass:
The bass of the Redmi earphone is high. In the high volume, you can easily feel the distortion of the base.
MI Dual driver’s base is not as high as Redmi Earphones but it is quite soothing in the ear; the bass is only when it’s needed. But here also you can feel the distortion in high volume.
Treble:
The Redmi Earphone’s treble is low. Sometimes you can’t notice any side instrument playing in the song.
The MI Dual driver’s treble is also not so high(compared to Sennheiser cx180) but you can easily identify the instruments they are playing.
Vocal:
Redmi and MI both have almost the same clarity in the vocal department but MI has slightly better voice clarity.
Sound stage and Sound Separation:
The sound separation and sound staging is totally missing from Redmi Earphones. It feels like the sound is coming from only one direction.
In MI Dual driver the sound staging and sound separation is pretty good. You can easily feel the music is playing around you.
I had played ‘Nadan parinda’, ‘Afreen Afreen’, ‘Hotel California', ‘Cardigan’, and many more in both the earphones but MI Dual driver performed quite extraordinary.
Gaming:
Both the earphones are good at gaming but the MI dual-driver takes some advantages because of the high treble which produced by another 8 mm driver.
Calling:
Talking about the calling Both have an inline mic. But MI has a volume controller but Redmi has only the single play pause button. You can easily take calls from both earphones.
Conclusion:
If you are a bass lover and only listen to EDM and bass-heavy songs and also you are on a tight budget then the Redmi Earphone is suitable for you. But if you are a music lover and want to listen to every note crisp and clear and also if you can manage with low bass then you should go with MI Dual Driver. Considering the price both earphones provide good value Redmi one comes with 400 rupees price range and MI dual-driver comes with 800 rupees price range.
