A recent report by Strategy
Analytics revealed Xiaomi has the second largest share of the TWS earbuds
market. The Chinese manufacturer trails after Apple but leads Samsung, JBL, and
Huawei. Xiaomi is able to achieve this thanks to its lineup of affordable TWS
headsets which include the Mi Bluetooth Earphones Air (Mi True Wireless
Earphones), the Mi AirDots Youth Edition (Mi True Wireless Basic), and the Mi
True Wireless Bluetooth Headset Air2.
Over the past few months, the
Bluetooth Special Interest Group has certified a couple of new TWS headsets
from Xiaomi but they are yet to launch. There is the Mi True Wireless Earphones
2 that was certified back in July 2019 and that we think is the international
version of the Mi True Wireless Bluetooth Headset Air2. There is also the Mi
True Wireless Earphones 2S that was certified in December 2019. Now a new one
called the Mi True Wireless Earphones Lite has been spotted on the
certification site.
The Mi True Wireless Earphones
Lite has the model number TWSEJ03WM and was certified on January 14, 2020. The
certificate reveals the wireless earbuds will connect via Bluetooth 5.0. Other
than the aforementioned, there are not any more details about the upcoming TWS
earbuds. At the moment, we have not heard any report of the launch of new pair
of wireless earbuds from Xiaomi. However, if we were to take a wild guess, we
will say the Mi True Wireless Earphones Lite may be a lite version of the Air2.
Xiaomi will want to maintain
its grip of having the second largest share of the TWS markets and to do that,
it needs to announce new models that bring new features while keeping the price
tag affordable. It has not announced any new phone launches outside China but
when it does, we expect it to announce at least one new pair of TWS earbuds.
