Xiaomi Clip open-ear earbuds, Digi Mart USA News: Xiaomi is bringing its new open-ear wireless earbuds to the global market almost six months after they went on sale in China. The Xiaomi Clip is the company’s first open-ear model with a clip-on design, following earlier open-ear products such as the OpenWear Stereo Pro.
The earbuds clip onto the outer edge of each ear, leaving the ear canal open so users can hear their surroundings. Each earbud weighs 5.5 g, which Xiaomi’s design is intended to keep comfortable during longer listening sessions.
According to Xiaomi, each earbud lasts up to 9 hours on a single charge, and the charging case extends total battery life to 38 hours.
The Xiaomi Clip features 11 mm dynamic drivers and supports Hi-Res Audio playback through the LHDC 5.0 codec, along with AAC and SBC. It supports multipoint connectivity over Bluetooth 5.4, uses a four-microphone setup for calls, offers tap controls and carries IP57 dust and water resistance for outdoor use.
Users can also use Apple Find My to locate the charging case if it is misplaced.
The earbuds come in Sand Gold, Pearl White, Frost Purple and Graphite Black. They are currently listed on Xiaomi’s global website, with full pricing and availability details expected at the Xiaomi Global Launch event on November 17. In China, the earbuds retail for CNY 849 (about $125).
