December 12 is yet another unique day in China as it is a date where the month and day are having similar digits (12.12) and it is usually heralded with sales promotion. Xiaomi has launched a new product ahead of the 12.12 sales and it is a noise-cancelling headphone. The new headphone comes in at a cheap price of 299 Yuan (~$45) and would go on its first sale at 0.00 hrs on December 12.

The new Xiaomi Noise-Cancelling headphone improves on the features of the first-gen Mi Noise Cancelling headphones. It utilizes a moving coil + acoustic architecture which results in a rich and delicate sound quality. The architecture is said to place the new Mi headphone ahead of other noise-cancelling headphones which usually experience lower sound quality when noise reduction is turned on.

Further, the Xiaomi Noise-cancelling headphones have the Japanese Hi-Res Audio standard certification and can restore sound quality up to CD-level. Design wise, it features an ergonomic earplug design with a soft cone. It comes in solid black and has an elastic clip at the back which makes for easy usage. The noise reduction box, metal clip and headphones are all manufactured using the 6-series aluminium alloy. The control panel houses a volume control and pause button as well as a two-speed noise reduction switch with support for 50-1500Hz broadband active noise reduction and 20dB maximum noise suppression. With these parameters, the headphone is well suited for noisy environments such as aircrafts and subways. In addition, the Xiaomi headset comes with a built-n 55mAh battery which can be charged using a micro-USB port onboard. The battery can be charged to 100% in just two hours and can deliver up to 12 hours of continuous usage. Usually, Xiaomi doesn’t launch these products outside China formally but expect to find it on e-commerce platforms like GearBest and LightInTheBox soon.

It’s no secret that Xiaomi has been producing all sorts of gadgets and the company is not a newcomer to the headphones market. Their latest model has a great design, intuitive controls, and a lot more other features. Learn more in our review.

UNBOXING

The headphones come in quite a nice box where all the items are packed neatly. A nice touch is that the Xiaomi included a nice carrying pouch to protect your investment.

DESIGN and FEATURES

When it comes to the design, the headphones are made of high-quality plastic and they do not look or feel cheap at all. On the right headphone, we have a play/pause button, which is nice and tactile. However, it would have been nice to have the volume or skip tracks buttons too.

The soft cushion looks and feels great. Also, it does not seem to wear off anytime soon.

We have a microphone for hands-free calling. The call quality is great. The voices are clear and loud on both ends.

After using the headphones for more than a month, I can assure you that they are comfortable to wear even for an extensive period of time. I used them mainly indoors as I don’t like wearing headphones once I’m out and about.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality of these headphones is very good. To be honest, this is the best sound quality I’ve heard in any headset in this price range. The sound is balanced and clear.

I can hear the pronounced highs and mids very well. The lows are great too but don’t expect to hear a lot of bass that would punch you to the guts. Finally, I didn’t notice any distortions even at the highest volume setting.

CONCLUSIONS

The Xiaomi headphones deliver once again. They look great, the sound great and they are comfortable to wear. The only shortcoming is that there are no volume controls on the headphones but for the price of just below $40, you simply can’t beat it.
