Xiaomi Youpin has now started selling Apple AirPods in China

In an interesting move, the Xiaomi Youpin platform has now started selling Apple’s true wireless earbuds — AirPods lineup in China. As said, while the move is interesting, it is not surprising given that Youpin is just another e-commerce platform. In addition to Xiaomi, Mijia, and other Xiaomi ecosystem products, Xiaomi Youpin has a lot of third party products too.

Apart from the AirPods series, the company is already selling a few other Apple products on its e-commerce platform, including Apple Watch Series 5, Apple Watch Series 4, iPad Air, and iPad Pro among others.

Coming to the AirPods, there are three models listed on the platform — Apple AirPods 2 and Apple AirPods Pro. The company is selling both the variants of the AirPods 2, with and without a wireless charging case.

As for the pricing, the AirPods 2 without wireless charging case costs 1,246 yuan, which is roughly $175. On the other hand, the one with wireless charging support is priced at 1,558 yuan that roughly converts to $219. The newly launched AirPods Pro have been listed for 1,999 yuan which is around $281.

Launched in October last year, the Apple AirPods Pro is the latest product in the lineup. The biggest difference between the standard AirPods and the AirPods Pro is the silicone ear tip and support for Active Noise Cancelation (ANC).

The software-backed dual-microphone setup adapts continuously, removing background noises to offer an immersive audio experience. Apple claims the ANC adapts audio signals 200 times per second.

Apart from ANC the AirPods Pro also sports Adaptive EQ that automatically tunes low and mid-range audio frequencies according to the shape of an individual’s ear canal. It also has Transparency Mode that disables ANC, in case they want to hear background noises while listening to music.

Meanwhile, there are reports that claim that Apple is not yet done with launching AirPods and is reportedly planning to launch a new version of the AirPods Pro. They are currently being referred to as AirPods Pro Lite, indicating entry-level earbuds and lower pricing than the current AirPods Pro.
