Xiaomi is preparing a new pair of wireless earbuds, but this time the company seems to be trying something a little different. Instead of regular in-ear buds, the upcoming model uses a clip-on open-ear design that focuses more on comfort and awareness of surroundings.
Xiaomi has officially revealed the earbuds, showing off a glossy body with a pretty unusual look. The company mentions a transparent sound-emitting section combined with metallic textures that resemble a vinyl record finish. It definitely looks more style-focused than most budget earbuds Xiaomi usually releases.
Some leaked manual images that surfaced online reveal a few extra details too. The charging case appears to include a USB-C port, indicator lights, a physical button, and even a built-in speaker. That speaker could possibly be used for location tracking features, although Xiaomi has not confirmed that part yet.
The earbuds themselves appear to support touch gestures across different parts of the frame, including the bridge section. Playback controls, calls, and volume adjustments will likely be handled through those touch inputs.
This is also Xiaomi’s first proper clip-on style audio product, separate from the existing OpenWear lineup. Open-ear earbuds have been slowly getting more popular recently, especially among users who want to listen to music while still hearing traffic, conversations, or gym surroundings without fully blocking the ear canal.
Xiaomi still has not revealed the complete spec sheet, so details like battery capacity, driver size, Bluetooth version, and pricing are still missing for now. The launch is expected later this month, possibly alongside other Xiaomi products and wearables.
From the early teasers alone, it looks like Xiaomi is targeting users who care just as much about the look and comfort of earbuds as the audio itself. Whether the sound quality lives up to the design is something we will probably find out closer to launch.
