Redmi launches its first clip-on earbuds with 12mm drivers and 32-hour battery life

Alongside the Redmi K100, Xiaomi has released the Redmi Clip Neo, the first set of clip-on wireless earbuds sold under its Redmi brand. Priced at 399 yuan ($60), the new model adopts an open-ear design that attaches to the outside of the ear rather than sitting inside the ear canal, a form factor that has become increasingly common in the audio market.

Redmi Clip Neo Specifications

The physical design centers around a C-bridge structure, with each earbud weighing just 5.3 grams. It features a 0.6mm memory titanium wire wrapped in liquid silicone, tested to withstand 25,000 bends.

The earbuds come with a 3.4mm clamping gap for a comfortable fit across different ear shapes. They also support interchangeable left and right wear, along with automatic wear detection that pauses and resumes playback.

Inside, the earbuds feature a 12mm dual-magnet dynamic driver that delivers improved loudness and diaphragm amplitude. It also comes with a bass enhancement algorithm to compensate for low-frequency loss in the open-ear design.

You can customize the sound using a 10-band equalizer or four preset EQ profiles. For calls, the earbuds feature dual microphones with AI noise reduction, along with directional sound transmission and a rear pressure-relief vent to minimize sound leakage.

For controls, Xiaomi opted for physical buttons rather than touch sensors. These can be customized for single, double, triple, or long presses to manage playback, calls, and voice assistants. The earbuds run on Bluetooth 5.4, supporting standard SBC and AAC codecs, and allow for dual-device connectivity.

When paired with devices running Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3.0, users get access to the Super XiaoAI assistant and a map-based finding feature. They are also compatible with iPhones running iOS 14 or newer via the Xiaomi Earbuds app.

In terms of battery life, the earbuds offer up to seven hours of playback on a single charge and up to 32 hours with the charging case. The vertical case features an LED battery status indicator and supports USB-C charging.

The earbuds come in two colors: Zero Black and Pearl White. Redmi has also introduced a special collaboration edition with CryingCenter, priced at 449 yuan ($67), which includes the black earbuds, a carrying pouch, and custom packaging.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched a 3kg Shoe Washer with eight wash programs. The company has also introduced the Mijia Multi-Head Fascia Gun 3C with 16 massage balls.
