The earbuds in question are called the Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro, while the smartwatch is called the Xiaomi Watch S1. That watch has been announced in both regular (S1) and sport (S1 Active) variants. Let’s talk about the earbuds first, shall we.
Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro
Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro
The Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro earbuds do resemble Apple AirPods Pro, to a degree. These earbuds come with a 10mm dual-magnet dynamic driver with sectional DLC coating. They do support Bluetooth 5.2, dual-device connectivity, and LHDC 4.0 audio codec. You’ll also get up to 40dB hybrid active noise cancellation here, with three ANC modes. You can also opt for an Adaptive mode, if you want, which will let these earbuds adjust automatically based on the noise level around you. There are also several levels of the ‘Transparency mode’, which allow you to stay aware of your surroundings. That is always a useful feature, so that you don’t have to take the earbuds off while you’re out and about.
Another feature worth noting is the Dimensional audio feature. It creates a 360-degree soundscape, so it can reproduce a next-generation audio experience similar to theaters. That’s, at least, what Xiaomi is claiming. The earbuds are IP55 certified for water and dust resistance. The earbuds measure 34.01 x 20.38 x 23.22mm, while the case measures 65 x 48.5 x 24mm. These earbuds can provide you with up to 6 hours of play time, while you can get up to 24 hours of playtime if you count in the case charges. The Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro earbuds come in Carbon Black and Gloss White colors. They are priced at $269, and will become available soon.
