Xiaomi has confirmed that its new pair of open earbuds will soon be sold worldwide. The earbuds were first introduced in June during the Mix Flip 2 and Redmi K80 Ultra launch event in China, where they were called the Open Earphones Pro. Outside China, they will be released as the OpenWear Stereo Pro in beige and grey color options.
OpenWear Stereo Pro features
The OpenWear Stereo Pro uses an open five-unit acoustic system. It includes a custom 1813 super-large dynamic woofer for bass, a dual dynamic iron tweeter module, and a piezoelectric ceramic driver for higher frequencies. The tuning has been done in partnership with Harman’s Golden Ear team. The earbuds come with multiple EQ presets and support spatial audio along with 360-degree head tracking.
The earbuds have 0.6mm flexible titanium memory wire ear hooks that can handle more than 5,000 bends. They use a liquid silicone shell and a three-point ergonomic fit system. The hooks also have a 45mm deformable length range to better fit different ear shapes.
Since they are open-type earphones, they do not seal the ear canal like in-ear models. This makes them more breathable but can lead to sound leakage. To reduce this, Xiaomi has added an independent anti-leakage sound system that emits reverse-phase sound waves. The system has been certified by China’s National Institute of Metrology.
Other features include Headphone Independent Recording 2.0, which allows direct audio recording even when the case is closed. The earbuds also support Chinese-English real-time translation, gesture controls, IP54 sweat and rain resistance, and multi-device audio streaming.
Battery life is rated at 8.5 hours on a single charge. With the Kona leather-covered charging case, total playback time goes up to 45 hours.
In China, the earbuds were launched for 999 yuan, which is about 140 US dollars. Xiaomi has not yet shared global pricing or release dates.
