At an event today, Xiaomi launched several new products including the Mi 13 series phones and the Xiaomi Buds 4 wireless earphones.
The TWS earbuds are a toned-down variant of the Buds 4 that was launched in China earlier this month. It comes as the successor to last year’s Xiaomi Buds 3. Here’s everything you need to know about them.
Xiaomi Buds 4
Design
The Xiaomi Buds 4 features an AirPods-style semi-in-ears. Xiaomi claims that its new buds’ “balanced” shape will keep them in the user’s ears even though they’re not fully inserted. They also still support noise cancellation (ANC), but without any mention of the 48 dB exclusion rating of their Pro sibling.
Water-Resistant
They don’t have silicone ears and the device is IPx54-water resistant.
Microphone
Each earbud has a microphone cutout. It comes with three built-in mics and noise-reduction technology for clearer audio during phone calls. The device is able to eliminate background noise.
