In late February, Xiaomi unveiled the Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones Pro in India. The audio accessory went on sale starting March 1. Nearly four months after their release, these earphones have been now spotted with POCO branding on BIS (Bureau of India Standards).

Xiaomi is known for a wide variety of products other than smartphones. The same can be said for its Redmi brand. However, the POCO brand still only sells smartphones.

Last year, POCO revealed plans to launch a pair of truly wireless earphones (aka TWS) called POCO POP Buds. But that product is yet to make its debut. But we know that it will be a rebadged version of the Redmi AirDots 3 Pro.

Now, as per BIS (via @i_hsay), POCO could also launch a pair of neckband-style earphones. The accessory is listed with model number LYXQEJ05WM, which is identical to that of the Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones Pro. In fact, these two products were certified on the same day (March 1).

If the POCO neckband earphones are the same as the Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones Pro, then we can expect features like 10mm drivers, Bluetooth 5.0 25dB ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation), IPX5 certification for splash resistance, 20-hour battery life, MicroUSB charging, and 36g weight.

The Mi-branded accessory comes in two colors (Black, Blue) priced at ₹ 1,799. We can expect the POCO version of these earphones to come in different colors, and maybe even with a cheaper price tag.
