Xiaomi Clip Earbuds Offer 38 Hours of Battery Life and Apple Find My Support

Xiaomi is expanding its audio lineup with a new pair of open-ear earbuds. The Xiaomi Clip has now appeared on the company’s global website, bringing a lightweight clip-on design, up to 38 hours of total battery life, and support for Apple Find My.

First introduced in China earlier this year, the Xiaomi Clip offers a different approach to everyday listening. Instead of going inside the ear canal, these earbuds attach to the outer ear. This design allows users to enjoy music while remaining aware of their surroundings, making them a useful option for outdoor activities, workouts, and daily use.

Xiaomi Clip Offers a Lightweight Design and Comfortable Fit

The Xiaomi Clip uses a clip-on design that sits around the outer edge of the ear. Each earbud weighs just 5.5 grams, making it lightweight enough for extended listening sessions.

Xiaomi has used a titanium wire bridge with shape-memory alloy to help the earbuds maintain a secure fit. The flexible construction is designed to follow the natural shape of the ear while keeping the earbuds in place during movement.

The charging case also gets a different look, featuring a jewellery-box-inspired design with a soft vegan leather finish and a simple lift-out mechanism.

11mm Drivers and Up to 38 Hours of Battery Life

For audio, the Xiaomi Clip features 11mm dynamic drivers with a claimed frequency response range of 20Hz to 48kHz when using the LHDC 5.0 codec. AAC and SBC codecs are also supported.

The earbuds use Bluetooth 5.4 and support multipoint connectivity, allowing users to connect two devices at the same time.

Battery life is another strong point. Xiaomi claims up to 9 hours of playback from the earbuds, while the charging case extends the total listening time to 38 hours. A 10-minute quick charge can provide around 3.5 hours of playback.

For calls, the Xiaomi Clip features a four-microphone system with bone-conduction voice pickup and wind-noise reduction. Xiaomi has also included directional sound technology to reduce audio leakage and provide more privacy while listening.

Apple Find My, IP57 Rating, and Other Features

The Xiaomi Clip comes with several useful extras. It supports Apple Find My, allowing users to locate the charging case through Apple’s tracking service.

The earbuds also carry an IP57 rating for dust and water resistance. Another interesting addition is the built-in recording feature. Users can start or stop recordings with a triple press on the earbuds or charging case. The feature supports recording live, call, and video audio.

Other features include audio sharing, customizable controls through the Xiaomi Earbuds app, and seamless switching between compatible Xiaomi HyperOS devices.

Xiaomi will offer the earbuds in four colour options: Sand Gold, Pearl White, Frost Purple, and Graphite Black.

Xiaomi Clip Price and Global Availability

Xiaomi has not announced the global pricing or availability of the Clip earbuds yet. The company is expected to share these details during its Global Launch event on November 17.

In China, the Xiaomi Clip currently sells for CNY 849, which is approximately $127. However, the international price could be different depending on the market.

With its lightweight design, long battery life, and Apple Find My support, the Xiaomi Clip brings several practical features to Xiaomi’s growing audio lineup. We should know more about its global pricing and availability next week.
