‘Xiaomi Clip’ has officially appeared on the brand’s global website. This confirms that the Xiaomi Clip earbud will be unveiled alongside the new ‘Xiaomi 18 Pro’ smartphone in the global market on November 17.
These are the company’s first clip-on wireless earbuds. They were first launched in China in May, but now international customers will also have the opportunity to purchase them. The price for the global market has not yet been announced. However, in China, the ‘Xiaomi Clip’ earbuds are being sold for 849 Chinese Yuan (CNY), which is equivalent to approximately 11,993 Indian Rupees.
The main competitor within this price range is the Huawei Free Clip 2. Buyers can choose from four different colors: Sand Gold, Pearl White, Frost Purple, and Graphite Black.
C-Shape Design for All-Day Wear
The Xiaomi Clip features a unique C-shaped, clip-on design. Instead of entering the ear canal, it secures firmly onto the outer part of the ear.
This open design is specifically crafted for comfortable, long-term use. It allows users to remain fully aware of their surroundings, enabling them to hear ambient sounds safely.
Since these do not completely seal the ear, they are not ideal for those who require robust active noise cancellation. However, for fitness enthusiasts, the IP57 rating, which protects against dust and water, is highly beneficial.
The Xiaomi Clip is exceptionally well-suited for activities such as running or intense workouts, where one might sweat.
11mm Drivers and Bone-Conduction
The earbuds feature large 11mm dynamic drivers. They deliver excellent sound quality by utilizing advanced audio codecs such as LHDC 5.0, AAC, and SBC.
Call quality is significantly enhanced by a sophisticated setup of four microphones. This system incorporates a bone-conduction voice pickup unit and advanced wind-noise reduction technology.
As a result, your phone calls remain crystal clear, even in windy conditions. Furthermore, this technology helps maintain the privacy of your conversations by minimizing audio leakage.
Massive Battery and Ecosystem
With the Xiaomi Clip, there’s no need to worry about battery life. A single charge provides up to 9 hours of continuous playback, and using the included charging case extends the total playtime to 38 hours. If you’re short on time, a quick 10-minute charge gives you up to 3.5 hours of usage.
For added convenience in daily use, the device features smart controls. Simply tapping the earbuds or the charging case three times in succession allows you to start or stop voice recording instantly. Furthermore, you can customize these controls to your preference using the Xiaomi Earbuds app. The earbuds work seamlessly with both Android and iOS devices.
Additionally, existing users of Xiaomi products enjoy extra benefits. Those using Xiaomi phones can access exclusive features, such as the ability to switch effortlessly between different devices and share audio quickly.
