Xiaomi Smart Ecology has officially unveiled a new audio product dubbed Xiaomi Bone Conduction Headphones. The new product comes with a starting price tag of 699 yuan ($96) and is available in China via JD.com.
The most outstanding feature of the smart wearable is the use of bone conduction technology. The technology works by transmitting sound vibrations along your cheekbones instead of through the air. It is the same technique that sea mammals use underwater and is said to be the technique used by German classical composer Ludwig Van Beethoven to make music when he lost his hearing. With this technology, users can also hear the sound of their environment without affecting the outside world when listening to music, so that they can always pay attention to the environment.
The vibrator inside the earphone adopts an innovative track-type design, and the sound quality is more distinct. There is also a 360° closed directional sound cavity, which can effectively suppress sound leakage and protect privacy.
In terms of connection, the new earbuds use a Bluetooth 5.2 chip, allowing for fast connectivity. The company claims a link delay is as low as about 86ms. Thus, users can have a stable connection to the headset when exercising, and there will be no disconnection.
In addition, the earphone has a single battery life of up to 12 hours. It uses a Type-C interface that is common to mobile phone charging cables. A 5-minute charge can provide to two hours of music playback.
In other respects, the Xiaomi Bone Conduction headset supports MIUI pop-up quick connection. The device is automatically and quickly paired when it is close to the phone. It also comes with IP66 dust and water resistance meaning that it can withstand wind, rain and sweat.
