After initially launching in China last year, Xiaomi is bringing its Buds 6 to the global market. Priced at £99.99 in the UK and €119.99 across Europe, the new wireless earbuds sit in the competitive mid-range audio segment.

Xiaomi Buds 6 Specifications

From a hardware perspective, the Buds 6 use a semi-in-ear design. This means they rest in the ear without the silicone tips that seal the ear canal, similar to standard AirPods. Xiaomi says it has tweaked the ergonomics from previous models, reducing the stem thickness by 12% and the sound outlet by 11.3% to alleviate physical pressure. Each earbud weighs 4.4 grams, and the accompanying charging case is available in Graphite Black, Pearl White, Titan Gray, and Nebula Purple.

For audio, the earbuds are equipped with an 11mm triple-magnet dynamic driver and a 24k gold-plated diaphragm. It supports Qualcomm’s aptX Lossless codec, which allows for transmission rates up to 2.1 Mbps at 24-bit/48kHz for compatible devices. Xiaomi also partnered with the Harman Golden Ear Team for specific EQ tuning profiles and included an adaptive sound algorithm designed to adjust frequencies based on the shape of the user’s ear canal.

The Buds 6 do feature active noise cancellation (ANC), utilizing a three-microphone array to filter out background noise and handle wind speeds up to 12m/s during calls. However, because semi-in-ear designs do not create a physical seal, the ANC here is likely intended to reduce low-frequency ambient hums rather than provide the total isolation you would get from closed-fit alternatives.

The earbuds natively support both Apple’s Find My network and Google’s Find Hub, making them highly versatile for users operating across different mobile ecosystems. Xiaomi has also integrated a standalone audio recording function; you can tap the charging case three times to instantly record live conversations or calls, even when the case lid is closed.

Coming to the battery life, the earbuds offer up to six hours of playback on a single charge and a total of 35 hours with the case. The earbuds are IP54-rated for basic water and dust resistance and support multipoint Bluetooth for connecting to two devices simultaneously.

To incentivize early adoption, Xiaomi is bundling the earbuds with a three-month trial of Spotify Premium for new subscribers, which can be redeemed through the Xiaomi Earbuds app until August 2026.

At the event, Xiaomi also introduced the Xiaomi 17T series, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro, and the Xiaomi Sound Play Bluetooth speaker.

Xiaomi has officially launched the Buds 6, a new pair of flagship semi-in-ear true wireless earbuds, priced at 699 yuan ($99). The earbuds are available in four color options: Nebula Purple, Pearl White, Titanium Gold, and Moon Shadow Black.

Xiaomi Buds 6 Specifications

The Xiaomi Buds 6 features a semi-in-ear design that focuses on comfort and lightweight construction. Each earbud weighs approximately 4.4 grams. Xiaomi has adopted a biomimetic curved shape to improve long-term wearability. The earbud stem is now 12% narrower, and the sound nozzle is 11.3% thinner. The contact area has increased by 8.8% to distribute pressure more evenly across the ear. These design changes are aimed at reducing discomfort during extended listening sessions.

The charging case has a compact, pebble-shaped design that fits comfortably in the hand. The Nebula Purple variant includes a special reflective finish for a more premium appearance.

The Buds 6 is equipped with a custom triple-magnet dynamic driver system. The driver uses a 24K gold-plated diaphragm and delivers improved low-frequency sensitivity by 40% and enhanced high-frequency sensitivity by 30%. The earbuds support a wide frequency range from 16Hz to 40kHz, aiming for a balanced sound signature across bass, mids, and treble.

Xiaomi worked with Harman’s Golden Ear team to tune the Buds 6, offering Harman AudioEFX for clearer vocals and a Master mode that adds warmth and deeper bass, alongside EQ presets and custom tuning in the Xiaomi Earbuds app. The earbuds support 24-bit/48kHz audio at up to 2.1 Mbps, with SBC, AAC, aptX Adaptive, and aptX Lossless codecs, plus Snapdragon Sound and Hi-Res Audio Wireless certifications.

The earbuds come with active noise cancellation and a three-microphone AI noise reduction system. Xiaomi claims the system can handle wind speeds up to 12 m/s. Spatial audio with built-in head tracking enables immersive surround sound without relying on external hardware.

The Buds 6 supports independent recording using the earbuds or charging case, even when the case is closed. Features such as real-time transcription, AI summaries, face-to-face translation, and simultaneous interpretation are available when paired with compatible Xiaomi devices. The earbuds support Xiaomi Find and Apple Find My for location tracking.

In terms of battery life, the earbuds deliver up to 6 hours of playback on a single charge with ANC off and up to 35 hours with the charging case. With ANC enabled, playback drops to 3.5 hours and up to 20 hours with the case. The Buds 6 charge via USB-C and carry an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.

At the event, the company also launched the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and the Xiaomi Watch 5.

Xiaomi is gearing up for a packed product launch day on December 25. Alongside the already confirmed Xiaomi 17 Ultra, the company has officially announced two new accessories, the Xiaomi Watch 5 and the Xiaomi Buds 6, both of which will debut alongside the flagship phone.

Xiaomi Watch 5

Xiaomi claims the Watch 5 is a “fully intelligent flagship” smartwatch. At its core, it runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon W5 wearable platform, which is built on a 4nm process and uses a quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU. 

The watch is also the first from Xiaomi to feature an EMG (electromyography) signal sensor, in addition to an ECG (electrocardiogram) sensor. 

The company hasn’t gone into detail yet on what the new EMG will bring to the table, but it usually detects the tiny electrical signal from the wrist muscle as you intend to make gestures. Simply, it translates your hand movements into digital commands to control the watch.

In terms of design, the Watch 5 has a round dial and a sapphire glass that rates 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. The casing is also said to be forged from one-piece stainless steel. The watch will be available in stainless steel and brown and green strap options. 

Xiaomi Buds 6

Xiaomi also confirmed that it will launch its new flagship semi-in-ear earbuds, the Xiaomi Buds 6, on the same evening. The official poster confirms its three color options: Pink, White, and Black. 

The Buds 6 feature a biomimetic curve design and promise “CD-level lossless original sound.” Beyond audio, Xiaomi is highlighting smart features like intelligent recording, translation, and AI-based summarization.

For context, last year’s Xiaomi Buds 5 launched at 699 yuan and offered features like semi-in-ear active noise cancellation, Qualcomm lossless audio, spatial audio, and up to 39 hours of total battery life with noise cancellation turned off. The Buds 6 will likely build on that foundation, though pricing and full specifications are still unknown.

As the name suggests, the Xiaomi Buds 6 is a successor to the Xiaomi Buds 5 series. To recall, the Xiaomi Buds 5 debuted globally back in September 2024, while the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro launched in February 2025. So we can expect high end specs and features like ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), Spatial Audio support, aptX lossless codecs, and much more. To recall, the base Buds 5 had a semi in-ear design, while the Pro model came with silicon eartips for better passive noise isolation.

Both TWS earbuds also came with a stem design, so Xiaomi will likely offer a similar design once again on the Xiaomi Buds 6. Other notable features on the older models include Dolby Atmos (when paired with a Xiaomi phone), AI powered ENC for clearer calls, tuning from Harman, and an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance. Keep in mind that most details are still at large, so stick around for more.
