The Xiaomi Mi Earphones Basic is the Chinese smartphone maker’s most affordable Mi-branded audio product sold in India. The company debuted this product in March 2018. Now, almost three years later, the firm announces a milestone achieved by these pair of earphones.

Xiaomi India took to social media to announce that it has managed to sell over 6.82 million units of Mi Earphones Basic within 2.5 years. The data for this achievement comes from Xiaomi Data Center.

For those unaware, these earphones only cost ₹399. Hence, it makes sense for the company to sell these many units despite the competition. In fact, the biggest competitor right now is the firm’s own Redmi Earphones that was released in September 2020 with Hi-Res Audio and the exact same price tag.

Anyway, whenever Xiaomi announces a milestone, it means that the company will be soon introducing a new product to replace the older model. We think that’s the case for Mi Earphones Basic as well.

Last week, Xiaomi revealed that it will be launching two new Mi-branded audio products in India on February 22. We expected them to be Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker (16W) and Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones Pro.

But now, we feel that the second product will be a pair of entry-level wired earphones to replace the Mi Earphones Basic. Anyway, the announcement will be happening only next week and hence, we can expect to learn more about them ahead of their release.

Xiaomi has been on a launching spree in India. After launching the Redmi Note 5 series, Mi TV 4/4A and the Redmi 5, the China-based company has now launched two new affordable earphones in the Indian market — Mi Earphones and Mi Earphones Basic.

The Mi Earphones come with a metal chamber that the company says is created using a 20-step process that involves diamond cutting, CD engraving, drawing and anodizing a piece of aluminum. It has Dynamic Bass and comes with an aerospace-grade metal diaphragm for resonating bass.

The company further adds that the in-ear earphones comes with improved 3rd generation balanced damping system, which is designed to enhance sound and airflow. It comes equipped with volume and answer/end call buttons on the wired remote.

The headset has a Kevlar fiber cable to enhance durability. The remote has built-in MEMS microphone that has a 58dB(A) signal to noise ratio. It comes with a headphone jack angled at 90-degrees. Talking about the durability, according to the company, the Mi Earphones have been subjected to over 700 reliability tests.

On the other hand, the Mi Earphones Basic has an aluminum sound chamber that is claimed to offer balanced and clear sound quality. It has been anodized to protect against corrosion and is also scratch and slip resistant. Xiaomi says that the headset comes equipped with a 3rd generation balanced damping system which helps improve sound and air flow which in turn produces well-balanced audio output.

Unlike the Mi Earphones, the AUX jack on this one has been bent to a 45-degree angle for allowing longer durability. It also comes with a wired remote which enables users to play, pause, answer and hang up calls with a press of a button. The remote also has a built-in microphone.
