Xiaomi is already on the bandwagon of launching Truly Wireless Earbuds in the markets. It has a plethora of options like Air Dots, Air Dots 2 in the budget-range. And slightly premium ones like Mi Air 2 which is almost a year old. Now, a complete specification of the alleged ‘Pro’ version of the Air 2 has leaked online.
The latest leak comes from a blogger named
DSP-Charles. He has shared the supposed features of Air 2 Pro and compared it
with Apple’s AirPods Pro. In terms of design, the earlier leak says that it
will adopt Apple’s AirPods Pro design with an angled earpiece with silicone
tips. The new leak, however, shows it could even outsmart Apple in certain
features.
Starting with the weight, each earbud on
Air 2 Pro will reportedly weigh 6.5 grams and boast in-ear design with three
microphones. The highlighting feature is the ANC(Active Noise Cancellation).
Additionally, the Air 2 Pro will reportedly have hybrid digital noise reduction
like the Apple as well.
Moving on, the earbuds will likely have a
12mm coil with an LCP composite diaphragm(English-translated) and noise
reduction intensity of 35dB. The spec sheet says the Mi Air 2 Pro will support
LHDC and AAC audio codecs.
In terms of latency, the spec sheet says
the new TWS from Xiaomi will have audio delay as low as 100ms. This is less
compared to AirPods Pro’s 160ms. Besides, it reportedly has other features like
Wireless charging, wake-up, auto-connect, Transparency mode(ambient sounds) as
well. Apart from this, the battery life on Mi Air 2 is mentioned as 7hrs on
each bud and 28hrs with charging case when ANC is OFF. When ANC is ON, the
battery life is mentioned as 5hrs and 20hrs respectively.
If we recall, Apple launched the Pro
version back in October 2019 for US$ 249 but made available a bit later in China
for RMB 1,999 (US$ 294). Besides, the trimmed down AirPods launched at US$ 159. On
the contrary, the Mi Air 2 launched for just US$ 58 bucks. The new Pro version is
expected to launch somewhere around 600 yuan (US$ 73). If the reports are true,
this will be an instant hit whenever it launches.
