Consumer electronics major Xiaomi Monday (February 22) launched the new line of portable Mi wireless speakers and earphones in India.

The new 16W Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker comes packed with twin 8W (x2) full-range drivers to ensure high-quality sound output in all directions. It features a stylish vibrant mesh and trendy design. It comes with an IPX7 waterproof rating and can sustain immersed underwater for 30 minutes at a maximum depth of 1 meter.

Also, the speaker comes with anti-slip paddings that make the device handy and provide a strong grip that reduces the risk of any accidental slips.
The compact speaker comes with dual sound modes. With this, users can easily switch between normal and deep bass modes.

Also, Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker can also be paired together in the same room in the TWS mode for the perfect stereo sound experience.

Inside, it comes packed with 2,600mAh cells and offers up to 13 hours of battery life. It also comes with a built-in microphone for taking calls and it also works with voice assistants. It costs Rs 2,499 and can be purchased in black and blue colours on mi.com and mi home stores from February 22 onwards. It will be available on Amazon from March 1.

On the other hand, the new Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones Pro comes with a lightweight design language with anti-cerumen (earwax) and an anti-blockage speaker net. The anti-cerumen design is created to help keep the buds clean and wax-free. The anti-blockage speaker net helps to block small particles that seep inside the device via the speaker net, the company said.

Also, it comes with an IPX5 splash and sweatproof rating and this comes in handy for workout sessions at gyms and jogging in the park.

The notable aspect of the new Mi earphones is the one-click Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). Once activated, it will block various surrounding noises by counteracting the noise waves and bringing down the surrounding noise spectrum by 25dB (decibels).

Additionally, it comes equipped with an environmental noise cancellation feature to cancel out the ambient noise during a call. The microphone detects the direction of the speech and suppresses the environmental noise up to 90% to deliver a clear voice call experience.

It houses a 10 mm dynamic driver to offer good sound output. It also boasts 125ms low Latency audio for a delay-free audio experience and a better and faster gaming experience.

As far as the battery life is concerned, it promises to offer close to 20 hours of listening time. It costs Rs 1,799 and can be purchased in black and blue colours on mi.com and mi home stores from February 22 onwards. It will be available on Amazon from March 1.
