Xiaomi Clip Earbuds Feature 11mm Drivers and Bone-Conduction Microphones
The Xiaomi Clip open-ear wireless earbuds have been launched in China. The company has also added AI-powered features. Let's explore the other features.
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.
