Xiaomi Group VP Chang Cheng has announced via his Weibo page that the recently released Xiaomi Flipbuds Pro has received a new firmware update. This comes barely two weeks after the portable earbuds model that is equipped with active noise cancellation (ANC) was launched.

The new firmware version 7.6.1.3 introduces a few upgrades to the new earbuds, one of which is an enhanced wear detection experience. The new update equally delivers an upgraded notification sound and also optimizes the notification sound effect.

Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro’s main feature is the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) which it claims can block up to 40dB of noise at its peak level. There are three levels of ANC – daily, office, and travel. The intensity of the ambient noise will determine the ANC level that would be ideal.

The headset settings can be assessed directly from the MIUI pop-up settings menu on Xiaomi phones and via the XiaoAI app on all Android smartphones. The Flipbuds Pro is powered by Qualcomm’s QCC5151 ultra-low power audio chip along with 11mm ultra dynamic sound drivers. It equally features support for Bluetooth 5.2, aptX Adaptive dynamic codec protocol, and support for low-latency activities like gaming.

In terms of battery life, TWS earbuds is capable of providing up to 7 hours of playback without ANC but when ANC is activated, the battery life comes down to 5 hours. The battery life extends up to 28 hours with the charging box in the mix (without ANC). When active noise cancellation is turned on, the total battery life reduces to 22 hours.
