*For best sound reproduction, make sure there are no obstacles between Bluetooth device and a headset.

Balanced conductor separation

Switch between phone conversation and music as you wish

To easily switch between your phone and music during exercise, sports bluetooth The Xiaomi headset uses a design with a separation of the microphone and volume control buttons. The optimal placement of the microphone is maintained, which gives clear and natural sound when talking on the phone. On the other hand, reducing the volume of the speaker and controller located on the wired part to the size of a pea allows you to move even more freely and unhindered.

Silicon microphone with MEMS technology

The sound is clear and stable

The choice of silicon MEMS microphone, often used in smartphones and other high-tech devices, ensures stable and clear sound and excellent noise reduction effect during telephone conversation, making the sound on your phone clear and pleasant.

Skin-friendly materials

Wear resistance and resistance to contamination by sebum

The use of nanospray technology provides wear resistance and resistance to contamination by sweat and fats. Just wipe it lightly and the surface is like new!
The headphones and wires are covered with a protective layer against ultraviolet radiation, soft and pleasant to the touch.

Ease

Your ears do not experience a second of discomfort

The Xiaomi Bluetooth sports headset is lightweight and sleek, weighing 17.8 g when fully equipped.
An anatomical design with an optimal angle of inclination and exact correspondence of the headphones to the auditory canal of the human ear was used. This gives a tight seal and prevents sound from escaping.

Improved high-tech appearance

Visible quality

The use of high-precision cutting and drilling of metal using machines with program controlled, 2-fold anodizing and another 18 technological operations during production, gives excellent metal texture, strength and scratch resistance. Special nanospraying technique, same as in mobile phones Xiaomi, applying 51 micro-holes by laser nano-perforation - all this combined gives the effect of lightness and waterproofness.

Perfect Sound Reproduction

Moving coil speaker + composite metal diaphragm

Ultra-sensitive speakers that produce powerful low frequencies like the sea surf, clear vocals and rhythm of percussion instruments, a pleasant and strong sound.
Independent sound channels that provide the effect of suppressing front and rear acoustic interference while driving. The sound is even clearer due to more pronounced high frequencies.
The composite metal speaker diaphragm stabilizes sound vibrations and effectively reduces noise and distortion, so you can hear every nuance of every tune clearly.

Again, at the risk of sounding overly enthusiastic, I really like the new Xiaomi products. The Mi Sports in-ear headset is no exception.

The design consists of two capsules connected by a rubberized wire. Excess is removed using a holder with a company logo. The memory effect is present, but the wire does not dull in the cold, does not crack, and behaves very well for a budget device.

On the right side of the wire there is a one-button remote control with a microphone. With it, you can accept or reject a call, turn on the audio player or pause the music.

The capsules are decorated with a metal insert in the style of the first. One of them even hides the same LED, which serves as an indicator that the headset is connected to the device.

Each of the capsules is slightly heavier than the first Mi Band, but significantly larger in size. On the side of the ear there are additional growths - this is the audio system. The capsules themselves contain electronics and a battery.

The right capsule is functional. On one side there are volume buttons, on the other there is a microUSB port closed with a rubber plug.

Ease of use

The headset is designed to be worn behind the ear. The ear hook is rigid, made of unbending plastic. The remote acoustic chamber provides additional contact with the ear. Otherwise, the headset would hang entirely on the ear pad.

Although such Xiaomi variant also foreseen. The Mi Sports ear pads are longer than the standard ones used for the Hybrid or Piston.

The entire design ensures comfortable wearing for any ear size. Suitable for both men and women: the set includes three sizes of ear pads.

The length and design of the earhook allows you to wear the earphone not completely inserted into the ear canal, which is convenient if you need to hear surrounding sounds.

The ear pads provide good sound insulation. Soft, durable. Unfortunately, due to its pleasant rough texture, it collects dirt and is difficult to clean.

Sound quality

Wireless headsets from even the most renowned manufacturers rarely provide sound quality comparable to their wired counterparts, no matter what they write in numerous reviews. Mi Sports is no exception. But it has a serious justification: it is an accessory that is maximally optimized for outdoor activities, sports and noisy spaces. The main task of the device is to provide convenience and background music.

First, the good stuff. Xiaomi Mi Sports has a very high volume level. Enough even on the subway or other public transport. Voice transmission in both directions is sufficient for any use scenario: both in transport and in the silence of the park.

Now about the shortcomings of the sound. The sound of the Xiaomi sports headset is bassy and quite bright. But the high frequencies are noticeably lacking, and the equalizer only partially helps. Of course, the sound cannot be called dark and dirty - it is clear and full. But the lack of aptX support takes its toll.

In comparison with its main competitor, the Meizu EP-51, the Xiaomi headset sounds more advantageous: there is not so much bass, the sound is clearer and clearer. But most importantly, the classic fit allows you to feel the music and includes the auricle itself in the playback process. The Meizu headset has a non-standard approach that prevents the ear canal from working and distances the sound from the listener.

Battery life

The manufacturer claims that the operating time of the Xioami Mi Sports headset is 7 hours. However, it does not indicate the operating mode. Testing showed the following numbers:

• standby mode - 10 hours;
• low volume (quiet room, apartment) - 7 hours;
• average volume (office, gym without music) - 6 hours;
• high volume (street, public transport) - 5 hours.

Telephone calls practically do not reduce work time.

Connectivity and Compatibility

Xiaomi Mi Sports works with any devices equipped with Bluetooth. The headset's own protocol complies with version 4.1, however backward compatibility allows you to use it for protocols of lower versions.

There are no hardware restrictions on the platform. Mi Sports can become a companion for devices based on both Android and iOS. Windows laptops and desktops are no exception.

Results: a convenient accessory for every day

The testing showed that the first wireless headset Xiaomi called Mi Sports can be considered a successful model. Among its advantages:

• thoughtful design;
• stylish appearance;
• comfortable fit;
• good working hours.

Since the device belongs to the lower price segment, there are still some disadvantages:

• complete sound insulation;
• large dimensions;
• average sound quality;
• lack of aptX support.

For $25 (with coupon XMWV), Xiaomi Mi Sports simply has no branded competitors. This is a great inexpensive device, more musical than the $28 Meizu EP-51 (with MeizuEPS coupon).

Xiaomi has made a good name for itself in the portable audio market thanks to its line of in-ear headphones, which were positively assessed by both consumers and critics. The Chinese firm's latest entry into the audio market is the Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth headset, which is specifically aimed at sports and fitness consumers and ties in with the ever-growing list of fitness devices sold by the company.

Pros of Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth

• The ear hook design prevents the headphones from falling off.
• Excellent midrange settings with very lively sound
• Good value price quality

Cons of Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth

• Comfort and sound insulation are unsatisfactory.
• Short time battery life
• The microphone is not doing its job
• Voice prompts in Chinese

Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset price

The cost of these headphones in Russia 1600 - 2000 rubles. Abroad, for example on Amazon, these headphones are sold for $36. Which is even a little more than 2000 rubles. For some centuries, electronics in Russia cost at least a little, but cheaper than abroad.

Packaging and equipment

Xiaomi is not a company that greatly deprives its products of accessories. And the Mi Sports Bluetooth headphones are also generally well equipped with accessories (considering their price): the headphones come with ear pads in five different sizes, a clothes clip and a manual (in Chinese) in the box. There is no case or carrying bag like the Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro. The headset, like any other Xiaomi device, is packaged in a branded white minimalist package with the Mi logo and a plastic window on the front and back with information about the device. The packaging is normal, there is nothing to complain about, everything is packed well. So what's in the box? In the box you will find:

• the headset itself
• manual in Chinese
• for a comfortable fit in the ears - 4 pairs of additional ear pads

It's a pity that there is no bag or case for storing and carrying the headset. But for such a price this is basically expected.

Design and convenience

Xiaomi has extensive experience in making fitness accessories, and its Mi Band fitness trackers are among the best on the market. The Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth headset has a design in the same style as the fitness bracelets of this manufacturer, which have the same plastic body with an aluminum insert on top. To help the headphones stay securely in place, each speaker has a semi-rigid ear hook. However, contrary to what I thought and seemingly obvious, I found that the most comfortable position on my ears is to have the headphones tilted slightly forward. Although this may not be true for everyone since the shape and size of each person's ears is different.
On the right side of the cable there is a remote control with a microphone and one button. The remaining buttons are on the right earpiece, which houses the volume buttons and micro-USB connector. The position of the buttons is very convenient, although it will take a little getting used to - I did not succeed right away. Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset leaves much to be desired in terms of sound insulation: their special “sports” shape does not allow me to wear them as tightly as possible and, therefore, I can forget about good insulation. However, this cannot be called an absolute disadvantage, since it allows the listener to continue to hear what is happening around them (this may indeed be a really important feature that is not an unambiguous disadvantage).
In any case, comfort and sound insulation greatly depend on the shape of the headphones and earbuds. While the design of the headphones as a whole cannot be changed, the ear tips themselves can be fixed. I ended up just putting on a pair of Comply Isolation ear pads and it made a world of difference in sound and comfort. While they still don't fit perfectly, they isolate sound much better than the included plugs. The latter are inconvenient and completely stupid in providing even the basic isolation necessary for normal audibility low frequencies. Still, let me remind you once again that your ears may differ from mine! Since sweat is a common occurrence when playing sports, water resistance is a must for these types of headphones. Xiaomi ships the Mi Sports Bluetooth headset with IPX4 certification, which means it will resist moisture such as sweat or heavy rain.

Additional features and battery life

The volume level does not depend on the phone volume. Since volume is just a setting when using Bluetooth, the headphones simply ignore the settings they receive from the phone and apply their own. In my case, this has positive consequences, since the volume adjustment of the Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth headset is more subtle than on my phone. Headphones are supposed to help their users with voice prompts, but they are in Chinese :). Agree, very useful feature? However, it is worth admitting that somehow they still cope with their task, and in the end they turn into a kind of sound indication. Over time, you simply begin to understand by the sound what is happening there. There's no word on aptX support, so I'm guessing it's not supported. And this is obvious, the headphones are not in that price range. However, there is an SBC codec that provides just decent sound quality. Although the battery has good capacity (100mAh), it cannot power the headphones for more than 4~6 hours. It's not bad at all, but it's not exactly amazing, and in fact it's a little disappointing considering the size of the case (which is much larger than the Creative Outlier Sports). The microphone performs poorly and cannot be fully used in areas where there is noise. Its placement on the cable has something to do with this, as it's not ideal at all. I cannot recommend these headphones for talking through them during phone calls.

Sound

To test the sound, I used tracks in FLAC format and 2 sources - Lenovo smartphone Vibe Shot and your desktop computer.

Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset technical specifications

There is a subtle audible noise that can be heard in the background. It's most noticeable during quiet moments, but its level is low enough to be noticeable when music is playing. The sound overall is quite open and spacious, which is quite unexpected for this type of headphone. The sound separation of instruments is more than expected for this price range of Bluetooth sports headphones; There is a clear separation between the bass, mids and highs, with almost no smearing. When using the included ear pads, I noticed that the sound became weak and lacked richness. This is present in both the bass and midrange. As I said, this may be a personal issue of mine caused by my particular ear size or shape, but I think it's worth mentioning anyway. The Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset has a (more or less) neutral sound, contrary to the bass-boosting trend this market has, which also results in a lack of bass if the isolation is not perfect. Due to sound insulation issues, the bass does not have much depth, even with thicker ear pads. Despite the fact that they will not be able to seriously compete with high-level products from more famous (in the audio world) manufacturers, they distance themselves from the mass of similar Chinese headphones. The bass is fairly balanced and, despite being relatively weak, has good impact and is noticeable enough to keep the beat. I admit that it is during sports that I expect a little more dynamics and bass from headphones. However, when it comes to delivering more accurate audio, the Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth Headsets are definitely worth more than the price they sell for. The mids have a special emphasis and are very energetic. As a result, the voices and guitars have a very clear presentation that highlights them and makes them the center of the composition around which everything moves. This makes pop and rock sound decent and enjoyable. But there are also problems: in the upper frequencies there is a section where hiss occurs, which is difficult to ignore. The sound overall is rich in detail, and the tone is natural and slightly warm. High frequencies blend perfectly with the mids and highlight them. The combination of the two produces a bright sound that leans more toward the higher end of the spectrum. Of course, this sound is by no means perfect and you won't hear all the "details", but it is more than good for sports headphones. All things considered, I don't recommend these headphones if you're looking for strong bass. However, if you listen to pop, rock and other "mid-range" genres, the Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset will be a great option for you. The Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset has much weaker bass than the Creative Outlier Sports, but its sound is more detailed and refined. From an audiophile's point of view, Xiaomi is better due to their balance and details. True, it’s hard to believe that audiophiles will buy such cheap headphones. However, looking at typical use (I'm thinking about sports/crossfit/fitness), perhaps the Outlier Sports can better suit most people's needs due to their emphasized bass. The Jabra Sport Pace headphones have a more V-shaped sound, hence their bass and treble are more pronounced. The overall sound quality is comparable as the detail, instrument separation and sound quality are similar. So it all comes down to your personal preferences.

Test while playing sports

Of course I tested bluetooth headphones Xiaomi Mi Sports during one of the workouts. The fun begins immediately when I turn on the headphones, a friendly female voice tells me in Chinese that they are connected, and I begin my workout. The headphones support Bluetooth 4.1 and have a working range of up to 10 meters. Which gave me enough space without losing signal. The headphones fit well and are quite comfortable. They stayed in place during strength training, running and cycling. The sound was as expected, with minimal leakage to the environment, despite the high volume, I listened to the headphones next to other people who were not disturbed by my music at all. The headphones worked at 50-60% volume and after a 2-hour workout at the end they maintained a charge of 50%. It will take about 2 hours to fully charge the battery, giving you 5 hours of listening time. Overall, training with the Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset was quite an enjoyable experience for me.

Conclusion

If I were to judge the Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth headset purely on sound quality, I would give them a solid 8.5/10. They have a balanced, attractive and lively sound that tries to convey tracks as naturally as possible. But headphones are about more than just sound. The battery life is a bit disappointing, the comfort could be greatly improved, there is no microphone and voice prompts are only in Chinese. They have a good and moderately reliable design, and the design distinguishes them from many competitors. But is this enough to make them attractive to consumers? The short answer is yes. Their $36 price tag puts them in competition with headphones that are less attractive - be it build quality, sound quality, or a combination of the two. It makes sense to compare these headphones with products from more well-known brands that are one and a half, or even three times more expensive! I can safely recommend these headphones if you are willing to spend no more than $50, but I also remind you of the disadvantages that I pointed out and that you should consider them when making your final headphone selection.

Do you like to listen to musical compositions with maximum comfort and high-quality sound while playing sports? Then just for you we have prepared a review of one of the best – Xiaomi Bluetooth Mini. Her distinctive feature is an opportunity wireless connection, thanks to which you will not experience the inconvenience of wires.

Thoughtful equipment

The kit consists of several elements: the gadget itself, a waterproof case, and three pairs of interchangeable ear pads that differ in size.

To replenish the charge, use a USB/microUSB cable, which is also included in the kit.

Cutting-edge design

The manufacturer offers Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Headset Mini in two shades – black and snow-white. The slightly elongated capsules have a decorative metal insert on the front surface. The case itself is made of ABS plastic, which does not collect fingerprints and other contaminants. The model is distinguished by its compactness, because its weight is only 14 grams!

The capsules are connected to each other using a durable rubberized wire on which the remote control is located. It has a control button that allows you to receive a call, play music, and pause it. There is also a microphone nearby.

In the right capsule you will find a button responsible for decreasing/increasing the volume. Inside it is located accumulator battery along with the speaker system. There is also a microUSB port to recharge the device.

Ergonomic performance is excellent

A special feature of wearing Xiaomi Sport Bluetooth Earphone Mini is that they are attached to the auricle using a special mount. It meets modern ergonomic requirements, so it is securely fixed to the ear and eliminates the possibility of capsules falling, even during active sports.

I would also like to note that you can use Xiaomi headphones even in the rain, since their housing is completely sealed and certified to the IPX4 standard.

Another advantage of the modification is its ability to change the length of the cable to ensure comfortable wearing around the neck.

The manufacturer also took into account the fact that owners of Xiaomi Mi Sport Bluetooth Mini wireless headphones may have different auricle shapes. That is why the kit comes with three pairs of replaceable ear pads and the owner can choose the option that best suits him in size and shape.

Studying sound quality

The Bluetooth headset from Xiaomi boasts pretty good sound, in which mid frequencies and bass are clearly visible. The only drawback will be that high-frequency reproduction is not always high-quality, which sometimes cannot be maintained even with the help of an equalizer.

Inside speaker system hides a solid filling, represented by a thin innovative membrane and a copper winding made from enameled wire. The speaker power is 5 W, and its sensitivity is an impressive 101 dB. Also, technology has been implemented active noise cancellation CVC, thanks to which you will hear music clearly even in a noisy place.

Wireless control

In addition to mechanical control using the built-in remote control, the model provides the ability to transmit commands via Bluetooth 4.1. The Qualcomm CSR8645 chip is responsible for wireless control, which provides communication at a distance of up to 10 meters. When connected to a smartphone, the user can select the desired tracks, rewind them, pause them, etc. The good news is that there is no need to configure the gadget to synchronize with the phone, since it connects automatically.

Impressive battery life

In order for the device to work autonomously, Xiaomi brand engineers equipped it with a compact and at the same time quite capacious 80 mAh battery. To replenish its charge, you will have to wait about 2 hours (using a USB/microUSB cable), but then the device will function at high volume for 5 hours, and at low volume for about 7 hours.

Characteristics table

Who are the Xiaomi Mi Sport Bluetooth Mini headphones suitable for?

This great option for those who value their own mobility and want to be free from many wires. You won’t need to connect them to your smartphone via a cable; it’s enough to occasionally recharge the gadget, because it synchronizes with your phone via Bluetooth.

With active use, its charge will last for at least 5 hours, during which you can enjoy your favorite music regardless of weather conditions, because the product body is waterproof.
