Redmi held a major event in China today to unveil the Redmi K100. The same event also saw the debut of the Redmi Clip Neo, the brand’s first-ever clip-on earbuds, which pair an open-ear design with 12mm drivers and up to 32 hours of total playback for 399 yuan. Read on to find out everything about it.

Redmi Clip Neo specifications and features

As the earlier teasers revealed, the Redmi Clip Neo comes in Pearl White and Zero Black. Each earbud weighs 5.3g and uses a track-shaped C-bridge, a teardrop acoustic sphere and a 3.4mm clamping gap, refined using data from over 1,000 ear shapes. Its 0.6mm memory titanium wire survived 25,000 bending tests and is wrapped in liquid silicone. The buds fit either ear, auto-pause when removed, and rest in a vertical case with Cloud-Gap Light Effect 2.0.

Inside are 12mm dual-magnetic drivers with dual N52 magnets, which Xiaomi says deliver 20% more magnetic flux, 25% higher amplitude and 40% more loudness than single-magnetic units. A DLC diaphragm coating and a bass compensation algorithm round things out, along with four EQ presets, a 10-band custom EQ and dual mics with AI noise reduction.

Battery life is rated at up to 7 hours per charge and 32 hours with the case, which charges over USB-C. You also get Bluetooth 5.4 (SBC/AAC), dual-device connection, Xiaomi pop-up pairing, hearing monitoring and location tracking. A physical button handles playback, calls and the voice assistant, with Xiao AI and iOS support, and HyperOS users can control smart home gear or check vehicle info.

Redmi Clip Neo price and availability

The Redmi Clip Neo is now available to buy in China for 399 yuan (~$56), with some regions offering a national subsidy that brings it down to about 339 yuan (~$48). There is also a limited Redmi × CryingCenter co-branded edition created with the sports streetwear brand CryingCenter: a gift box that bundles the Clip Neo in Zero Black with a branded carrying pouch, a sticker set and custom packaging, sold separately for 449 yuan (~$63). It joins Xiaomi’s own clip-on earbuds from May as another open-ear option in the family.
