At the same event where Xiaomi debuted the Mix Flip 2 and Redmi K80 Ultra, the company also introduced its latest audio hardware, the Open Earphones Pro. This new set of open-ear wireless headphones leans into comfort, spatial audio, and voice-centric features, while sticking closely to Xiaomi’s usual playbook, spec-heavy with a fair amount of proprietary tech.

Xiaomi Open Earphones Pro: Specs

Xiaomi says the Open Earphones Pro feature the industry’s first open five-unit acoustic system. That includes a custom 1813 super-large dynamic woofer for bass, a dual dynamic iron tweeter module, and a piezoelectric ceramic driver to round out the frequency range. 

The tuning was done in collaboration with Harman’s Golden Ear team, and there are multiple EQ presets built in. The earphones support spatial audio and 360-degree head tracking for a more immersive listening experience.

Comfort is another focus of Open Earphones Pro. The design uses 0.6mm flexible titanium memory wire ear hooks, rated for over 5,000 bends, paired with a skin-friendly liquid silicone shell and a three-point ergonomic fit system. There’s also a 45mm deformable length range to accommodate different ear shapes better.

Since these are open-type earphones, they don’t seal off your ear canal like traditional in-ear models. This design is more breathable, though at the cost of potential sound leakage. 

To address that, Xiaomi is using an “independent anti-leakage sound system” that emits reverse-phase sound waves. The company says it’s been certified by China’s National Institute of Metrology.

Other features include “Headphone Independent Recording 2.0,” which lets the headset record audio directly (even when the case is closed) along with Chinese-English real-time translation. There’s support for gesture controls, IP54-rated sweat and rain resistance, and multi-device audio streaming.

Xiaomi claims the Open Earphones Pro offer 8.5 hours of runtime on a single charge. It extends up to 45 hours with the Kona leather-covered charging case.

Price and Availability

The Xiaomi Open Earphones Pro are available in China for 999 yuan (around $140). They can be purchased from the company’s official site in Obsidian Black, Silver, and Titanium Gold finishes.
