Xiaomi has unveiled the Xiaomi Clip open-ear wireless earphones alongside the Xiaomi 17 Max and Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro in China. The earphones have an open-ear clip-on design and have Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity as well as LHDC 5.0 audio support. The earphones are water-resistant with an IP57 rating. They come with AI capabilities such as real-time transcription, translation, and XiaoAI conversational assistant mode. They support iOS as well as Android, and are compatible with features such as Find My from Apple.

Xiaomi Clip has a retail price of CNY 849 in China (approximately Rs. 12,000). They are available for purchase at CNY 799 during the initial launch (around Rs. 11,300). These earbuds are available in Obsidian Black, Parrot Purple, Pearl White, and Satin Gold (translated from Chinese). Xiaomi says the Xiaomi Clip is currently available in China through Xiaomi's website, authorized retail outlets, and major e-commerce platforms.

The company has installed an 11mm dynamic driver unit in this wearable, which uses a microcrystalline metal-coated diaphragm. It is designed to deliver audio in a frequency response range of 20Hz to 48kHz. These earbuds support high-resolution audio decoding with LHDC 5.0 on compatible devices and also have Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification.

For calls, Xiaomi has integrated a VPU bone-conduction microphone into the Clip earbuds, along with a three-microphone array. The company says this system can isolate human voices from surrounding noise and improve call clarity in noisy environments. Xiaomi has also adopted a directional acoustic structure, which uses reverse sound waves to reduce audio leakage and improve privacy during calls and media playback.

The Xiaomi Clip supports continuous voice conversations with XiaoAI, providing news, weather, and answers to everyday questions. The earbuds also include a XiaoAI Companion Mode, which enables conversations that sound more natural and context-aware.

Xiaomi has added several AI-powered productivity tools to the Xiaomi Earbuds app, including live interpretation for live lectures and video playback, real-time call translation, face-to-face conversation translation, on-device voice recording, audio and call recording support, real-time transcription, and AI-generated summaries. Users can also start or stop recording directly through the charging case.

The Xiaomi Clip earbuds are compatible with Apple's ecosystem and support Apple's Find My app for locating the charging case. Xiaomi also states that the earbuds and charging case can be located separately. Additional location features include long-range positioning via the Xiaomi HyperOS device network and a nearby ringtone finder, which can play sounds from both the earbuds and charging case.

The Xiaomi Clip's connectivity features include Bluetooth 5.4, AAC, SBC, and LHDC 5.0 codecs. Xiaomi has also incorporated dual-device smart connectivity, allowing the earbuds to connect to two devices simultaneously. The earbuds also support gesture controls. Users can double-tap to play or pause audio and triple-tap to change tracks.

Each Xiaomi Clip earbud is powered by a 60mAh battery, and a 510mAh battery is housed in the charging case, which has a USB Type-C port. The earbuds support fast charging; Xiaomi claims that 10 minutes of charging can provide up to four hours of music playback. In AAC mode, the earbuds can deliver up to nine hours of music playback on a single charge, and up to 38 hours in total with the charging case.

Each Xiaomi Clip earbud weighs approximately 5.5g and measures 28.15×18.98×24.98mm. The charging case weighs approximately 41.42g and measures 51.13×51.13×30.07mm. These clip-on earbuds come with an IP57 rating for dust and water resistance.
