Rumored since the last few days, Xiaomi has finally presented its new wireless headphones with noise cancellation, the Flip Buds Pro, some models that seek to approach a somewhat more premium market interested in good sound quality and especially in isolation from outside sound.
FlipBuds Pro: Features
You just have to take a look at the official images to verify that we are facing some true wireless headphones that seek to gain a foothold among those users who have or wish to have some AirPods Pro. Aesthetically they are quite similar, although we must also take into account that today any model of wireless headphones tends to resemble those of Apple, with the exception of Samsung with its peculiar beans.
The Flip Buds Pro They focus attention on the active noise cancellation (ANC) system that they include, allowing the user to isolate themselves from the outside and enjoy distraction-free music playback. The new model arrives in glossy black, a very striking hue that has been achieved thanks to a nano NCVM treatment, which gives it a more premium and pro look, something that we imagine is just what the brand was looking for.
These are the technical characteristics of the FlipBuds Pro:
- 11mm speakers
- 40 db active noise cancellation system
- Transparency mode with voice enhancement
- Low latency, ideal for use with games
- AptX codec
- Bluetooth 5.2
- Possibility to connect two devices at the same time
- Touch controls on the headset itself
- Battery with autonomy of up to 1 and a half hours, 7 hours if we deactivate noise cancellation
- Case with 2,5W wireless charging. 11W fast wired charging
no outside noise
With the help of the chip Qualcomm QCC5151, these headphones cancel 99% of outside noise up to 40db, being able to switch between cancellation and transparency modes. This second mode is responsible for canceling much of the outside noise, but letting the sound of the voices through at the same time as the improvements, so that you could talk to someone without having to remove the headphones.
The maximum cancellation level reaches 40 db, but we can select between three available cancellation levels that will depend on the environment in which we are. These modes can be selected through a pop-up window that will appear on the MIUI interface of Xiaomi phones or through the official XiaoIA application for Android.
Smart and very functional
The tactile controls that we will find on each of the sticks will allow us to control music playback, in addition to accepting incoming calls. Its oval-shaped charging case has an internal battery to recharge the headphones and offer up to 28 hours of duration. This internal battery can be recharged quickly at 11w via cable or 2,5w if we use a wireless charging base.
When can they be purchased?
The new FlipBuds Pro will go on sale in China from May 21 at a price of 799 yuan (about $100 to change), an amount that significantly exceeds the prices that we normally found in Xiaomi headphones, but it must be borne in mind that these models have much more technology than we have found so far.
