Pairing and App
The Xiaomi Earbuds app is both on the App Store, and you can find it in the Google Play Store as well, so getting it is not a problem.
Once set up, it’s time to hook these buds on your ears.
Design and Comfort
The buds look and feel premium and well-made, and the Sand Gold color adds to that impression. It’s also the most understated, as it blends with the color of your skin, so if you want to go extra-stealth, you should opt for this hue.
The case is also nice; the cover is vegan leather, and there’s suede lining inside, so you don’t scratch the buds.
Now for the fit. It’s extremely comfortable, as nothing actually goes inside your ear canal. You just hook the cable over the back of your ear and place the drivers on the ear canal. The batteries are positioned on the back of the cable so they balance the weight almost perfectly. The result is that you start forgetting you wear anything on your ears.
This comes with certain drawbacks as well. You can adjust the fit to some extent by twisting the cable, but if your ear is too big or too small, the placement could be a bit compromised.
As far as doing sports with these on, it’s absolutely doable. They are pretty secure and won’t fall out, although they can flap around and the sound can get a bit inconsistent. But going on an occasional 5K run or hitting the gym is not a problem. Plus, they come with IP54 dust and water resistance, so sweat won’t be a problem.
Controls and Features
Tapping takes care of skipping songs, pausing the music, and increasing and decreasing the volume, while tap and hold can activate the audio recording feature or launch your phone’s smart assistant.
There’s no EQ as such, but you can choose from several presets, including Harman Master and Harman AudioEFX, along with boosting the treble or the voice frequencies. We’ll get to the sound in a bit, let’s quickly list the other features first.
Adaptive volume listens to the surrounding noise levels and adjusts the volume accordingly. It’s hit and miss; sometimes it lowers the volume without any particular reason, and other times it fails to raise it when it’s noisy around.
Dimensional Audio has two subcategories—Immersive Sound and Track Head Movement. The former makes the sound more focused, and it emulates in-ear headphones, while the latter tracks your head movements with the built-in accelerometer and moves the sound around. It works, but it’s not as impressive as other spatial audio systems we’ve tested.
Sound Quality
What’s even more impressive is the rich soundstage. The mid and high frequencies are detailed and pristine. And this is probably a result of the Harman tuning, as when you disable the Harman AudioEFX preset, the buds lose this “high fidelity” feel to their sound. We recommend leaving the Audio effects on that particular setting.
At max volume there’s little to no harmonic distortion at any frequency range, which is also quite impressive. These buds stay clear and linear throughout the volume range. Taking calls on these is also good, both indoors and out on the street; no problems with the other side hearing us clearly.
There’s no active (or passive for that matter) noise cancellation on these, but it would’ve been pointless anyway. There’s no seal, and you hear the outside world at all times, which can be a pro and a con, depending on how you look at it. The chance to get hit by a car while jogging is minimal with these ones, but you also can’t use them to mute the crying baby on the next row on your flight.
Battery life and charging
The charging case features a big 700 mAh battery and can extend your music autonomy to 45 hours, nearly two full days. Charging happens through a USB-C cable; there’s no wireless charging on those, which is kind of a drawback.
You can get around 2 hours with a quick 10 minutes charge from the case but a full charge takes about an hour.
Conclusion
There’s a strong case to be made for the open wear earbuds design. No wonder it’s getting so popular and models are flying left and right. For people with sensitive ears who can’t find good in-ear buds but at the same time find over-the-ear headphones too big and cumbersome, this design offers a perfect alternative.
The Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo Pro earbuds are a prime example of this design done well. They are extremely comfortable, and the sound quality is also great. Two of the most important characteristics of every pair of headphones.
Couple this with the intuitive controls and the long battery life, and you get a winner. On the other hand, this design comes with certain intrinsic drawbacks. There’s no ANC, and there can’t be one given the open nature of the buds. But that’s a small price to pay for the resulting comfort.
And speaking of price, the asking price of 139 British pounds (around $179) is quite reasonable for what the buds offer in terms of sound and features.
