Rating of the best Xiaomi wireless headphones for 2021

Regular wired headphones are a proven option, but not very convenient. Wires dangle, get tangled, and constantly get caught on something. There is a more practical and modern device - wireless headphones. Xiaomi produces many inexpensive and high-quality models. Today we will look at the most popular of them and choose the best headphones.

How to evaluate Xiaomi Bluetooth headphones

When rating wireless headphones, we took into account six important factors when choosing them:

— Design.

Not all wireless headphones are created equal—some are overly bulky and simply unsightly.

— Convenience.

To avoid discomfort when using headphones, they must have an anatomically designed shape and fit well in the ears.

— Autonomy.

This is an important criterion for any wireless accessories.

— Microphone quality.

Many people use Bluetooth headphones not only for listening to music, but also for telephone conversations.

— Cost to sound quality ratio.

The high price of headphones is not always justified, and an inexpensive model sometimes has good sound.

— Equipment.

After the purchase, few people will want to look for a charging cable and spare ear pads in stores.

Vacuum devices (plugs) from Xiaomi

The Chinese manufacturer has developed many variants of vacuum models, popular due to their simple shape, small size and low price. For everyday wear, “plugs” are convenient because they take up very little space.

Xiaomi Piston 3

Average cost 600 rub.

The third generation vacuum model is characterized by a balanced design, high-quality sound with good tonality at high and low frequencies. Buyers can purchase this model in several colors.

Xiaomi Piston 3

Advantages:

1. Excellent sound over wide ranges.
2. Convenient to operate the remote control and wear ear pads.
3. Good sound insulation.
4. The cable is reinforced from the inside with Kevlar thread.

1. The remote control does not work on some phone models.
2. The straight jack makes the device not very convenient to carry in pockets.
3. The symmetry in the cable makes it difficult to wear headphones “over the neck”.

Xiaomi Piston 2

Average cost 590 rub.

This model also boasts good sound with clear bass. Metal design looks expensive at a low cost. The remote control buttons are more flexible than in the previous model, and there is no braided cable routing.

Advantages:

1. The sound in the ranges is equally good in both quality and volume.

Xiaomi Piston 1

Average cost 530 rub.

The very first “pistons” amazed buyers with their bright design and excellent sound.

2. Beautiful design.
3. Kevlar reinforced cable.
4. Upper fabric braid of the wire.

2. Long (1.25 m) and flat cable.

The headphones will appeal to lovers of morning jogging, as they fit firmly into the auricle due to the bending of the capsule.

Xiaomi Capsule

How to choose the right wireless headphones

Choosing wireless headphones is a delicate matter. Which headphones you need depends on how, where and when you plan to use them. There are several parameters that you should definitely pay attention to when choosing a headset.

Bluetooth version

Most of the total number of wireless headphones work using Bluetooth technology. We won’t delve into the principles of the technology, but rather touch on what the average user needs: what kind of Bluetooth should a good headphone have and why is it important? The sound quality in the headphones and the rate of battery discharge depend on the version of the technology.

It is better to buy headphones with the latest model - Bluetooth 5.1. But depending on the price of the device, you can choose a simpler model: 5.0 or 4.2.

Headphone types

There are nominally two types of wireless headphones: those that fit into your ear without a physical connection between the two speakers, and those that are connected by a wire or hoop. Both types of devices have their advantages and disadvantages.

The first ones are compact, they do not take up much space and do not have often “tangled” wiring. These headphones look aesthetically pleasing, but a small battery and a high probability of loss are their main disadvantages.

Headphones with a cord also come in small sizes, they are more difficult to lose, because they are connected, and the battery life of these devices is often one and a half or two times longer. This headset is perfect for athletes or those who prioritize comfort over design.

Noise reduction technology

This technology is needed to isolate unnecessary sound, for example, when you are on the subway or bus. In fact, noise reduction is present in all headphones, because when the earphone gets into the auricle, it blocks the access of external sound. This is called passive noise cancellation, and it works differently on all headphones depending on the shape of the device and the ear pads. And there is the so-called active noise reduction, which, thanks to an additional microphone, filters the sound and prevents it from being heard. However, this feature takes some energy from the battery, and headphones with active noise cancellation are more expensive.

Sound options

The manufacturer is required to indicate the technical characteristics of the headphones on the box. And you should focus on them when choosing a device.

• Frequency range. The human ear perceives sound in the frequency range from 20 to 20,000 Hz. When choosing headphones, make sure that their operating frequencies completely cover these limits.
• Sensitivity. This value indicates the volume. It is best to choose devices with a minimum threshold of 95 dB or higher for maximum listening comfort.
• Headphone impedance. This setting affects both volume and overall sound quality. The optimal impedance range on regular headphones should be from 16 to 32 ohms.

Battery and removable unit

The larger the battery capacity, the longer the headphones will last. Often manufacturers do not indicate the battery size, but talk about operating time. On average, this is 8-12 hours for headphones with a wire and 4-7 hours for in-ear devices with a complete case. However, the case also has a battery and is capable of charging the headphones without connecting to the network. For example, Apple AirPods work for 5-6 hours, and the battery case gives them another 20 hours of charge, although charging from the case also takes time.

Lightweight and compact headphones - wireless Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2S

The following Xiaomi wireless headphones in our rating work using the Bluetooth 5.0 protocol, have good battery life and a range of up to 10 meters. TWS technology ensures a fast and reliable connection between two earbuds.

The earbuds have functional touch buttons with which the user answers calls and controls music playback. You can also call a virtual assistant to, for example, check the weather or schedule an event on your calendar. The headphones are suitable for music lovers of different genres, as they provide good quality over a fairly wide frequency range.

Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2S come complete with a case that provides battery life for up to 20 hours. As soon as the user removes the headphones from the case, they automatically turn on and connect to the smartphone. And if, for example, you press the function button three times, the gaming mode is activated with minimal sound delays.

Without recharging, the batteries last for 3.5–4 hours of continuous listening. Fully charging the headphones in the case takes about 2 hours, which is quite a long time.

A selection of headphones from Xiaomi from an authorized store on Ali

Xiaomi is an example of a brand with an excellent price-quality ratio. I suggest you look at a selection of headphones and interesting gadgets for audiophiles.

1. To begin with, the most popular among the cheap ones are the “pistons”, budget Xiaomi Piston earphones for only $4.99.

These popular headphones are being snapped up in dozens at a time - for gifts and as spare ones, for children and to take with you on the road.

The official authorized Xiaomi Mi Homes Store provides shipping with a trackable track number, which is a huge plus with our Mail)))

Simple in shape “earbuds” with replaceable tips and a microphone. It is very convenient to answer calls - they replace the standard headset. Can be recommended for purchase as a replacement for “family” ones or as spare headphones or a headset.

2. The equally popular and already popular sports headset Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Earphone mini (Sport Version Headset) with IPX4 level protection for $25.13

These are comfortable wireless headphones with an ear-hook holder, a capacious battery and good capabilities. The headphones support modern Bluetooth 4.1 wireless connection protocols.

The headphones are available in two color options, and look very stylish not only during sports, but also in everyday use.

The ear hooks and ear hooks will be interesting for active people, and the gift wrapping will be a nice addition.

You can safely take it as a gift!!

3. Wired “advanced” headphones – hybrid Xiaomi Hybrid Earphones Pro HD for $25.08.

This is not such a new, but very interesting model from Xiaomi, model: QTEJ02JY.

It features dual drivers: a dynamic driver (LF+MF) plus a built-in reinforcement driver (HF). The clever layout ensures high sensitivity of 101dB. The headphones have a standard impedance of 32 Ohms.

The headphones are a good replacement for the budget Pistons from Xiaomi and also have a module with a button and a microphone and can work as a headset for receiving calls.

4. New version of Xiaomi Mi IV Hybrid In-ear Stereo Dual Drivers Earphones for only $17.69 on promotion.

A very good option for those who wanted to try high-quality sound from Xiaomi.

The headphones are wired and also work as a headset (there is a built-in module with a microphone).

For the money this is a very good option.

5. If we continue to consider the range of budget headphones from Xiaomi, I recommend paying attention to inexpensive “capsules” – Xiaomi Capsule Earphone In-Ear Noise Canceling Wire Control with MIC for $13.21

These are small, comfortable, oval-shaped in-ear headphones with interesting ear pads.

The manufacturer promises noise suppression (sound insulation) and better sound transmission due to the special shape of the nozzle channel. The small shape of the capsule body will not cause discomfort and can be recommended for every day.

6. If you are more interested in receiving and making calls rather than listening to songs, then it makes sense to pay attention to the inexpensive wireless BT headset Xiaomi Mi Youth Version Headset (Bluetooth 4.1) for $10.49.

Its peculiarity is the presence of buttons for adjusting the sound level and media stream transmission protocols. You can comfortably listen to media compositions (audiobooks, podcasts, etc.).

The wireless headset from Xiaomi is a “folk” and popular budget headset that is suitable as an alternative to the expensive Jabra and Samsung.

7. And lastly, an interesting gadget for connecting wired headphones via Bluetoooth. This is a wireless adapter for wired headphones Xiaomi Bluetooth Audio Receiver Amplifier Bluetooth 4.2 for $17.50

This is a small adapter with an amplifier and battery for use as a BT radio bridge with a smartphone or other audio source. Can be used as a portable amplifier-receiver for wired headphones, as well as a signal receiver for music centers, car radios, active speakers, etc.

Due to the small case with a clip and a capacious battery, you can use it every day without any problems, including for active sports.

I have personally tested almost all Xiaomi products and can recommend them for purchase for yourself or as a gift.

I recommend looking at the range of the official authorized Xiaomi representative on Aliexpress, and also using discount coupons.
