The Xiaomi Openwear Stereo is a pair of open-ear Bluetooth earbuds that combine style and functionality. This device was designed for those who want to enjoy music without the hassle of earbuds that you have to stick in your ears or traditional headphones. As a result, Xiaomi promises a unique and comfortable listening experience with these devices.
That said, is RM499 a justified price for these earbuds? How does it feel to use them? This is our verdict on the device.
The Openwear Stereo has a sleek and modern design that rests on your ears, making it easy to wear for extended periods. The lightweight build ensures that you won't feel any strain, even after long hours of use. It's perfect for activities like walking, working, or just relaxing at home.
We are a fan of its design
Very satisfying charging time and battery life
For its size, the sound quality is surprisingly good. This device delivers clear audio with decent bass, although it won't match the depth of larger speakers or high-end headphones. It's well-suited for casual listening, podcasts, and phone calls. However, it might not satisfy audiophiles looking for deep, immersive sound. We noticed the bass and noise isolation could be limited in performance. So, that's quite a bummer for its price
The battery life is pretty good, lasting up to 16 hours on a single charge. This means you can use it throughout the day without worrying about recharging. When it does need power, it charges quickly. So, you won't be without your music for long.
There's room for improvement for this earbuds
Sexy design
The Xiaomi Openwear Stereo connects easily via Bluetooth and has a range of about 10 meters. It also features a built-in microphone, allowing you to take calls hands-free. The controls are intuitive and easy to use, with buttons for volume, play/pause, and answering calls. Just like the Edifier Comfo Run, you can expect this device to come with a companion app. In this case, it's the Xiaomi Earbuds app.
UI-wise, it's quite easy to control and manage. We are quite fond of the simple and clean UI for the app. You can also customise easy shortcuts for the earbuds via "Gestures" and choose your favourite Audio effects to enhance your listening experience. Interestingly, there are plenty of options for gestures that makes it more convenient to control your earbuds. So, feel free to experiment to your heart's content.
Clean and simple
Plenty of customisations for your convenience
Additionally, we would recommend switching on the "Adaptive volume" for a more immersive experience. You can also connect this earbuds to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously via Dual connection. The best part? You can rename your earbuds for a more personalised touch.
Moreover, updating the firmware for this device is relatively simple. Only one tap, and you are good to go. If you are still curious on the controls, tapping on "About Device" will open an offline manual for your guidance.
It's quite light too
Easy to hold and handled
It's quite secure
Great for long hours of wear
Overall, the Xiaomi Openwear Stereo is a good choice for those who want a convenient and comfortable way to listen to music without the isolation of traditional earbuds. It's not the best for bass-heavy tracks, but it offers solid performance for everyday use. If you're looking for an open-ear earbuds that's easy to use and offers good battery life, this is a solid option.
