According to the latest report that has surfaced online, Xiaomi is inviting some users to participate in internal testing of the new Xiao AI model update on Xiaomi Sound and Sound Pro.

For those unaware, Xiaomi launched its Xiaomi Sound Pro smart speaker in December 2022. This smart speaker was known for its transparent upper body accompanied by lighting that changes with the rhythm of the music. A recent report by ITHome states that the development of a superior Xiao AI version has been completed and is undergoing a testing phase.

The company is inviting limited people to test out this new voice assistant internally. Additionally, this report also confirms that the devices used for this testing are Xiaomi Sound and Xiaomi Sound Pro. The company plans on ruling out the bugs with the help of this invitation so they can actively fix them. It is highly likely that future Xiaomi speakers will have this Xiao AI.

Xiaomi has officially launched its highly anticipated Xiaomi 13 series smartphones, which have been generating a lot of buzz in the tech industry due to their advanced features and sleek design. Along with the new smartphones, Xiaomi has also unveiled several other products, including the Xiaomi Sound Pro smart speaker, which is set to compete with other popular smart speakers on the market.

Xiaomi Sound Pro smart speaker offers flagship-quality sound

Xiaomi has launched its new Xiaomi Sound Pro smart speaker, which features a transparent upper part with ambient lighting that changes with the rhythm of the music. The speaker is available in black and comes with SBC and AAC audio transmission protocols, 8-ohm impedance, and a 3.5mm AUX port. Xiaomi claims that the speaker offers flagship-quality sound. The device is now available for purchase in the Chinese market.

The Xiaomi Sound Pro boasts a 7-unit acoustic configuration, upgraded from previous models. It includes a 3-unit full-range speaker for clear and transparent sound and a 3-unit passive radiator and custom-made subwoofer for an unparalleled low-frequency experience. The speaker also features a large woofer with a loud volume and can deliver a shocking 91dB of sound pressure.

In addition to its impressive sound quality, the Sound Pro also offers a 360-degree omnidirectional sound field, allowing the whole family to enjoy good sound no matter where it is placed. The device has also been expertly tuned by Xiaomi’s acoustic engineers using professional software, resulting in a clear and balanced sound pleasing to the ear.

Xiaomi has also included its innovative computing audio technology in the Sound Pro, which has been upgraded to version 2.0. This technology fine-tunes the sound quality from input to output, resulting in a live-level listening experience. The Nightingale algorithm has also been upgraded to support independent adjustment of sound effects, allowing users to choose their preferred style through the Xiaomi Speaker APP.

In terms of design, the Sound Pro features a galaxy ambient light effect generated by LED lamp beads surrounding the device’s body. The light follows the music in real time, creating an elegant atmosphere. The speaker also has an intelligent perception of the human body, combining audio and visual computing technology that provides a sense of direction and smart lighting effects. Overall, the Xiaomi Sound Pro is a powerful and impressive smart speaker with high-quality sound and a range of advanced features.

Pricing and availability

The Xiaomi Sound Pro smart speaker is now available for purchase. The initial price of the speaker is 999 yuan, but there is currently a 10% discount on the package. The company mentioned that they will be giving away a Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Pro with the purchases on December 25.

After delaying the launch of its flagship smartphones, Xiaomi has confirmed that the Xiaomi 13 series smartphones will be officially launched on 11th December. Along with that, the company is all set to launch a few other products in the market.

Now, just days before the official launch event, the company has teased the Xiaomi Sound Pro smart speaker and has also revealed the upcoming device’s appearance.

The teaser poster shared by the company showcases the design of the Xiaomi Sound Pro, which the company claims will offer flagship-quality sound. The photo shows that the speaker will have a cylindrical body where the upper part of the product has a transparent design with ambient light, which we expect to change based on the music’s rhythm.

Xiaomi has already started taking reservations for the Sound Pro smart speaker and will keep it live till 11th December, the launch date for the upcoming product. It will be available for purchase in the Chinese market from 12th December, a day after it gets announced.

The list for the product’s reservation shows that the Black-colored speaker has a gross weight of 3.08 kilograms and will come with support for SBC, AAC audio transmission protocols, 8-ohm impedance, and a 3.5mm AUX port.

There’s a possibility that the company may reveal more information about the device in the coming days through teaser posters. Even if that isn’t the case, it’s not a long wait for the official announcement to take place. Along with the Xiaomi 13 series and Xiaomi Sound Pro, the company will also launch Xiaomi Mini Host and Xiaomi 10G Router on 11th December in the Chinese market.

The post Xiaomi Sound Pro Smart Speaker Teaser Showcases Design; Launching On December 11 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi recently announced that the much-awaited launch conference which was postponed would now hold on December 11. The company will be taking the wraps off a number of products including the flagship Xiaomi 13 series. An earlier teaser poster shows that the company will equally unveil a new speaker on that day. The Xiaomi Sound Pro, as it is called, has now gone up for pre-orders in China via Jingdong (JD.com).

The Xiaomi Sound Pro is the successor of the Xiaomi Sound which was launched last year. The product page shows that the Xiaomi Sound Pro will come in black but there may also be a silver color variant just like its predecessor. The gross weight of the device and the package box is 3.08kg. The JD listing also shows that the device will feature support for SBC and AAC audio transmission protocols, has an 8Ω impedance, and supports AUX 3.5mm input. However, it is possible that the listed configurations are merely placeholders and so, should be taken with a pinch of salt.

The teaser earlier released by Xiaomi suggests that the Sound Pro will come with some improvements in the sound output, bringing what Xiaomi describes as “flagship-level acoustic design and dual enjoyment of hearing and vision”, perhaps referring to the aesthetic appeal and vivid sound output the speaker promises to deliver.

Judging from the teaser poster, Xiaomi Sound Pro is likely to move the overall sound unit down while continuing the Sound acrylic shell, resulting in a larger sound cavity volume and better sound quality.

As a reminder, the Xiaomi SOund was launched as the brand’s first smart speaker. It features a compact body and surprisingly, the internal configuration is designed to output a powerful sound. The speaker is also embedded with Harman AudioEFX which allows the speaker to transform into a powerhouse of deep and rich low-frequency sound without damaging the hardware.
