Xiaomi claims that its IP66-rated Bone Conduction Headphones are 28 g in weight and offer resistance to entrance of dust and water. Additionally, the headphones feature Qualcomm aptX, aptX Adaptive, and SBC, in addition to Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. By the way, Xiaomi states that the earphones should last up to 12 hours and have a latency of about 86 ms latency, and the time between charges ought to be up to 12 hours. Furthermore, by charging the device’s 165 mAh battery for just 10 minutes, the USB Type-C port that comes with it can provide two hours of playback.
The headphones are now exclusively available through Xiaomi in China, where they cost CNY 699 (about US$96). Although they are already available for purchase in Xiaomi’s home market, it is unknown if the company intends to make them available overseas, such as in North America or Europe. If you want to order the Bone Conduction Headphones outside of China, however, stores like Giztop already have them in stock. For reference, Giztop offers worldwide shipping and charges US$129 for the headphones. Please be aware that, unlike Xiaomi’s eCommerce platform, this is a third-party shop.
