Xiaomi has released its first clip-on earbuds, marking a new entry in the wearable audio market. The device features an open-ear design that clips onto the outer ear rather than inserting into the canal.

The earbuds contain 11mm dynamic drivers and support LHDC 5.0 for high-resolution audio playback. Each bud weighs 5.5 grams with a clamping distance tuned to 3.4mm for secure fit. Audio pickup relies on a triple-microphone array combined with a bone conduction microphone. The units carry an IP57 rating for dust and water resistance.
Battery life reaches nine hours from the earbuds alone, extending to 38 hours total when using the charging case. Xiaomi offers AI features including real-time translation across 21 languages, live transcription, and AI summaries through its XiaoAI assistant. The company has applied a launch discount in China, pricing the device at 799 yuan CNY (about $117).
Xiaomi currently limits this release to the Chinese market with no confirmed international availability dates. The vendor has not disclosed specific battery chemistry or charging specifications for the case.
