Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Neckband Earphones Review

I do not know you friends, but when there are rainy days like the one that is falling in these hours, there is nothing more relaxing than getting comfortable and enjoying so much good music. I like to immerse myself in the rhythm that in beating and rising makes me travel with imagination, and what better aid if not rely on good earphones like the ones that Xiaomi has from poco presented in China and which we are pleased to review today thanks to the sending of the sample provided by Gearbest.com, store always ready to offer a preview of the technological gadgets of the Chinese brand.

The packaging of the Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Neckband Earphones it is presented in a simple and elegant way, with a transparent plastic cover that immediately puts Xiaomi's Bluetooth headsets in mind. Inside, under the tray that houses the product, we find a user manual with directions also in English, the small micro USB charging cable and a containing opaque plastic 3 pairs of spare parts for the earphones of different sizes to better fit the various pavilions and made of soft silicone. The presence of a case to store the earphones when unused would have been a welcome gift but in full tradition we do not find anything else.

The Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Neckband Earphones adopt a so-called arched design as the earphones will be worn resting the back of the structure on the neck. And right here I want a moment to concentrate as the bow is made with elastic-friendly skin-friendly material, which is not only comfortable to the touch and with the skin but at the same time does not create any discomfort during use in sports sessions. In addition, the bow gives stability to the earphones that are firm even in activities such as running. The bow can be flexed without fear of ruining its structure, as it will return to the initial shape without deformation. With a total weight of 40 grams and dimensions equal to 205 x 175 x 39 mm, comfort is guaranteed thanks to the ergonomic design of the product.

On the terminals of the arch is located on the left side the control unit and on the right side the stick for the right ear driver. Both modules are made of metal except for the buttons for volume control and music track control on the left side, where we also find the on / off button which also has the function of play / pause the music track or to recall the voice assistant but also to answer or decline an incoming call. Finally we find the small hole for the microphone that also incorporates a small status LED, while on the stick profile we have a small door also made of plastic that conceals the micro USB input for charging.

Yeah, because of course to work the Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Neckband Earphones need one battery that in this case is a unit from 137 mAh which guarantees aautonomy of 8 hours of music with continuous flow, or 10 hours in conversation with a maximum of 200 hours standby values ​​declared by the manufacturer and which I confirm, at least for the music side. Charging takes place via the micro USB cable attached to a source that supplies energy for 5V / 1A, which in about 2 hours it will bring the built-in battery to 100%.

Continuing, we note that the i audio wires (25 cm cable length) covered with soft plastic that will lead us to dynamic dual drivers with semi-in-ear structure and case made of anodized aluminum, similar as design to the most classic headphones that Xiaomi has accustomed us to. Specifically, the new Xiaomi audio gadgets come with a 4.1 Bluetooth chip model CSR8645 with support to AAC audio decoding and technology aptX by Qualcomm, which serves to improve the quality of listening on Bluetooth connectivity and profiles HFP / HSP / A2DP / AVRCP.

For those who do not know aptX is an audio codec born in 1980 whose license is currently owned by Qualcomm. This codec is based on algorithms that convey much more data via Bluetooth than is normally guaranteed, translating the sound quality into something comparable to CD quality.

The dual drivers they work on a frequency range ranging from 20 Hz to 20000 Hz with an impedance of 32 Ohm and sensitivity of 100 dB. Also a magnet that allows you to join the two small speakers together when we are not using them, avoiding wires that dangle on our stomach and therefore accidental falls of the product. Unfortunately, any type of IPXX certification is absent.

Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Neckband Earphones they connect to the smartphone very quickly, and in my case it was not necessary to insert any code for the coupling, but in case it is required, just type 0000 (4 times zero). There is no integration with the Mi Home ecosystem, therefore you do not need any application to use the earphones, and in a sense the use without applications or integration with the MIUI interface could be a lack, as I would have expected as for wired earphones, to be able to go to calibrate the sound from the music application but mine is only a fixed by reviewersorand and therefore poco it matters as it is the sound that these earphones give that makes me love them so much that I no longer do without them.

The range of the Bluetooth is equal to 10 meters, that are definitely real but what surprised me is the fact that even in the face of obstacles, the data flow is transmitted without hesitation, certainly without exaggerations, but in my case I did a test leaving the smartphone closed in a room and I went down under the door of the house (2 flights of stairs) and I could hear the music with the same initial quality. Once you have started the Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Neckband Earphones (just hold down the power button for 3 seconds) a guide voice in Chinese, warns us of the connection with the device. At this point if we press the power button twice in a row we will start the voice assistant, while in telephone call activity we could respond (one click) or reject the call (long press). Also if we have left the phone in silence we will be notified of the call with a little trill.

I state not to be an expert audiophile, but I have enough experience to understand when the volume too high distorts the sound, or when there is a dominant in the high / medium / low frequencies. And all this with the Xiaomi earphones does not happen. I tried different kinds of music, even tracks recorded in concerts and believe me in some songs the sound was so high quality that when you closed your eyes, you even seemed to hear the singer's breathing on the microphone. In addition, the immersive experience that the Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Neckband Earphones give us, thanks to a system of environmental noise suppression, is really at the level that until now I had not tried.

One thing also that I liked is the fact that the Xiaomi earphones enjoy a volume system separate from that of the smartphonetherefore, we could lower or raise the sound level without necessarily acting on that of the phone. To change the volume parameters just click on the command buttons while keeping them slightly pressed we could move forward or backward the music track.

PROJECTED IMPACT

In the market there are many, too many proposals for Bluetooth headsets with very cheap prices but I assure you that there is no comparison for build quality and audio compared to these Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Neckband Earphones. The price of poco less than 60 euros (at the time of writing) is definitely convenient when compared to more prestigious brands so it is worth investing only if we are professionals. Xiaomi instead manages to put a product of premium quality and audio of the highest level within everyone's reach. Then a all you have to do is decide whether to buy the Gray color (from us in the test) or Black (actually Xiaomi also offers the Gold variant) through the store Gearbest.com, which as always I recommend for all the technological purchases made in China.

Nerd, Geek, Netizen, terms that do not belong to me. Simply myself, technology lover and provocative as Xiaomi does with his products. High quality at fair prices, a real provocation for the other most famous brands.

Не знаю, кому удобно ходить с наушниками, которые имеют арочный дизайн для шеи? Мне по душе больше нравятся модели со шнурком. Использую Philips SHB3595. Они легче по конструкции но работают примерно 6 часов на одном заряде батареи.

Hi! Congratulations on your review. In the article I see that there is a discount coupon to bring the neckband to 41 euros, but it has expired. Is it possible to have it renewed? 😀 would be very useful for me (for the silver version). Hopefully thanks!
