Xiaomi released its latest TWS earphones, called Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2, several days ago. As the advanced version of Xiaomi Airdots, we were looking for to the new earbuds. I have used it for a few days, and so let’s do a short review now.
Unboxing:
There is Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 earbuds, a charging case, Type-C charging cable and a manual in the package.
Design:
The Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 comes in a basic retail box with a charging case, which has a simple look. Different from its previous generation, the Airdots Pro 2 adopts semi-ear design, while the Airdots chooses an in-ear design. In my opinion, I’m not really a big fan of the design of the Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 TWS Earphones.
Coming in pure white design, the charging box has a clean look. You will notice the indicator placed at the middle.
On the right side, there is a function key, which can control the earbud’s connection.
The Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 supports Type-C charging, and the port is set at the bottom.
After opening the lid, I was disappointed. There is a gap between the Airdots 2 and the charging box. Actually, it looks a bit cheap.
In addition, the charging case lid adopts the magnetic suction structure, which is firm and sturdy. However, the charging box has more edges and corners than the Xiaomi Airdots. For me, I prefer the round design than the sharp design.
Overall, it’s really a compact design coming in a very small size. You to carry the charging case everywhere and easily put it into your pocket.
The Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 comes with a virtual button, which is easy to operate. Like most of the TWS earphones, the Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 supports phone call mode, music mode and voice assistant wake-up. Compared with those TWS earphones with a physical button, you can just touch the Airdots Pro 2’s virtual key on the earbuds gently to operate. On the contrary, with the physical button, you would have had to press it a bit hard. And your ears would have felt that pressure.
In the phone call mode, quick touch 2 times on either side of the earbuds to hang up or answer the phone. In the music mode, touch the right earbud 2 times means play/ pause, and touch the left earbud 2 times to wake up the voice assistant. Taking off one earbud can stop the music.
Running on Bluetooth 5.0, the Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 TWS Earphones has solid wireless connection in a range of around 10 meters.
Performance:
The Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 TWS earphones have medium acoustic fidelity, lacks high-frequency volume and not strong enough in low-frequency volume.
In the low-frequency volume, it’s not so punchy in the bass to surprise my ears, so the Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 doesn’t have the much powerful thumping effect.
In the high-frequency volume, it has a little sound distortion but the voices are crystal clear.
Basically, the earbuds are good for vocal songs but don’t expect much in terms of bass.
About the audio sync performance, it lags at around 0.5 seconds, especially when playing games. It is not so suitable to play those games which rely much on the real-time stereo, like PUBG mobile. Also, the Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 has a poor noise-canceling, which isn’t a surprise.
However, in the midrange, the Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 performs well, which overflows with midrange details. All kinds of music sound outstanding in this range.
In addition, although I don’t like the appearance of the earbuds, the Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 fits my ear so well. The wearing experience is good, I can even wear it for hours.
The call quality is pretty decent, provided you wear both the earbuds. The voice is loud and clear and the person on the other end can hear you fine as well. But make sure to wear both of them or else the call clarity becomes terrible.
Battery:
The battery life of Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 Earbuds is about 4 hours, which can be used for about 14 hours with the charging case. It is good, but not so outstanding.
Price:
The Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 TWS Earphones is priced at $79.99 on Giztop. You can click here to get the Xiaomi latest earphones.
Conclusion:
The Xiaomi Airdots Pro 2 is a value for money true wireless earbuds, featuring a simple and clean look. I like its virtual key, pocket size and comfortable fit, but Xiaomi should improve the sound quality and noise-canceling. Although the appearance doesn’t appeal to me, overall I’m willing to get it because of its cheap pricing.
