Xiaomi is getting ready to enter the growing open-ear audio segment with its first pair of clip-on wireless earbuds. The company has now officially shared early details ahead of the launch later this month, and the focus seems to be on comfort, lightweight design, and smart features tied into Xiaomi’s ecosystem.
Each side weighs around 5.5 grams, which should make them fairly easy to wear for longer periods without the usual pressure inside the ear canal. Xiaomi says the structure uses memory titanium wire with a biomimetic curved shape to help keep the fit secure while staying comfortable.
Design is clearly a big part of the pitch here. The earbuds feature a glossy finish with what Xiaomi describes as a transparent sound-emitting sphere design and metallic textures around the outer shell. So far, the company has shown Satin Gold and Pearl White color options.
On the audio side, Xiaomi is using an 11mm driver with a metal-coated diaphragm. The earbuds also support LHDC 5.0 and Hi-Res audio certification, which should help with higher-quality wireless playback on supported devices.
Call quality seems to be another area Xiaomi is pushing. The earbuds include a three-microphone setup along with a VPU sensor and AI-based noise reduction. There is also a “reverse sound wave technology” meant to reduce audio leakage, which is usually one of the bigger issues with open-ear designs.
Xiaomi is also adding several AI-focused features, including real-time translation across 21 languages, voice recording, and automatic summaries. Some of those features will likely depend heavily on Xiaomi’s own ecosystem and Xiao AI support.
The company has not confirmed battery life or pricing yet, but the launch is expected sometime later this month. There is also a good chance these earbuds arrive alongside other Xiaomi products, including the Mi Band 10 Pro and Xiaomi 17 Max.
