Review of the best headphones from Xiaomi in 2022

Recently, Xiaomi has become increasingly heard in the gadget market. She became famous for the fact that she produces budget equipment, including inexpensive and at the same time high-quality headphones for smartphones. The range of goods offered is wide: from standard wired models to new products that support Hands Free and Hi-End.

Headphones from Xiaomi in 2022 are aimed at the general public, and not at professionals and music lovers. Therefore, you should not expect first-class sound from them at a low price. They are not bad for everyday use, but not suitable for audiophiles, although the company has a couple of decent models.

Better over-ear and over-ear headphones for gaming

Xiaomi K-song Headset Wired

These wired headphones are equipped with large drivers (40 mm) with a moving coil based on neodymium magnets. The composite membrane reproduces a wide frequency spectrum with excellent detail, which, together with the sound chamber formed between the ear and the driver, provides a good opportunity for full immersion in musical compositions.

To convert a track to a backing track, you just need to press the key with the note symbol on the model (pressing again will return the original). The same manipulation can be done with an ordinary snap of the fingers, which is very comfortable during rhythmic movements during performance. A microphone with high sensitivity has a form factor that is best suited for good speech pickup. It also filters out all ambient noise.

The microphone is located at the end of a flexible shaft that can move up / down.In total, there is a great opportunity to set its position in space so that it is convenient for the user. Headphones are made in an exquisite streamlined case with smooth lines. There are no rough components and even minor cons that you can find fault with. Everything is quite balanced and without frills. The headset is tactilely pleasing and comfortable to wear.

• Nylon braided cable protection;
• Lightweight construction;
• Volume control and microphone;
• original design;
• Ease of wearing;
• Noise suppression.

• Not suitable for all phone models (malfunctions may occur);
• Straight plug;
• Short-lived (the body of the liner is erased over time, and the wire is bent).

There are more positive reviews about this model than negative ones, however, all buyers agree that this model is for amateurs. The mid-frequency range is not wide, but the bass and treble are well developed. To listen to music from the phone will do.

Xiaomi Piston 2

Despite the metal body, this model is not heavy - the total weight is 12 grams.The design looks very impressive:

Gilded or silver-plated threaded cylinder. The use of metal in the construction immediately affected the average price of the goods - 2300 rubles, but it is fully justified. The kit includes a set of 4 pairs of earbuds, a storage case, a clip for attaching to clothing.

• Coated rubber cable with Kevlar thread;
• Headset;
• Balanced sound of high quality sound;
• Do not tangle;
• Comfortable to wear.

• Average quality microphone.

If you study customer reviews, then among them you can rarely find a negative one. Everyone notes the high quality of sound and assembly.

Xiaomi Piston 1

It's kind of a classic in its lineup. They conquer the popularity ratings of models with their reasonable price, an average of 700 rubles, and original design. The kit includes 3 pairs of interchangeable ear pads, a storage case.

• Good sound for a low price;

Xiaomi Piston Youth

A more economical version of the third generation Piston model with an average price of 600-700 rubles. Manufacturers decided to reduce the price by reducing the bundle (only three pairs of interchangeable ear pads) and simplifying the design. The characteristics remained the same as those of the Piston 3.

• surround sound;
• Comfortable to wear;
• The mids are pronounced, the basses are worked out;
• flat cable;
• Several body color options;
• Quality microphone;
• The headset works with iPhone.

• Straight mini-jack;
• fragility.

For their price they are quite good. Judging by customer reviews, the plastic counterparts may even be slightly better than their partially metal original Piston 3 (due to the ribbon cable that does not kink). They are not declared as professional, so you should not demand too much from them.

Xiaomi Basic (RM 25)

They are very similar in design to the Xiaomi Piston 2, however the body is made of plastic rather than metal. In this regard, they are inexpensive - 450-500 rubles - but at the same time they fit the main criteria for choosing headphones.

• Good sound insulation;

The best hybrid headphones

This is a synthesis of armature and dynamic drivers, due to which the quality of the reproduced sound has increased. Hybrid headphones in 2022 are increasingly popular, despite their sometimes too high cost.

Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro 2

This model guarantees clear sound over a wide frequency spectrum. LF and MF differ from analogues in softness, which exemplarily highlights drums and bass, and HF of the musical composition conveys all the details. The headset is comfortable to use and does not cause discomfort even with long-term use. 3 types of ear pads of different sizes will help the user to choose the most optimal form factor for him.

The ear pads are made of high quality silicone, which does not provoke irritation of the skin. The small microphone guarantees excellent speech quality and reduces unwanted sounds even when the microphone is far from the mouth.

Average price: 1965 rubles.

• quality sound;
• high assembly reliability;
• perfectly fit to the ear;

Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro

Sound guides come out of it at an angle. In total, the headset sits quite comfortably in the ear canal, without causing the owner even the slightest discomfort. The front side of the case protrudes from the ears, so it is unlikely that you can lie on your side in the headset, but this is the only drawback of this model.

Low frequencies are the key advantage of this model. There's a lot of bass here. It is quite saturated, although not quite fast, which gives it heaviness. Complex drum parts are not properly reflected by the model, mixing everything into one mess, where it is difficult to listen to individual parts.

Average price: 1795 rubles.

• low cost;
• quality sound;
• keys can be programmed to switch music tracks or to adjust the volume level;
• cord does not break.

• inconvenient placement of the regulator.

Xiaomi Hybrid Dual Drivers Earphones (Piston 4)

The design is practically no different from the third version of the Piston generation: the speaker housing is mostly made of metal, the cable is covered with a braid before separation, and after that it is all the same rubber coating. Due to technology costs, the cost has risen, so manufacturers have reduced the package to only three pairs of interchangeable ear pads in order to save money.

The average price for this model is from 1500 to 2000 rubles. You can find it cheaper on Aliexpress, but there is a high risk of getting on
fake.

• More natural sound through the use of several types of drivers;
• High build quality;
• Comfortable fit;
• Wires do not tangle;
• Good headset work with Android;
• Reliability;
• Noise suppression.

• Symmetrical cable, inconvenient for communication through a microphone;

Many buyers who bought Hybrid Dual Drivers Earphones, judging by the reviews, were satisfied with their choice.

Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Headphone Pro HD

Improved version of Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Headphone with original streamlined speaker design.Unlike the previous version, this version has two dynamic and one armature drivers. Due to this, the company managed to improve the sound balance, as well as raise the mids. In-Ear Headphone Pro HD are expensive - 1600-2000 rubles - but still cheaper than many "hybrids" from other companies.

• New more convenient remote control design;
• Detailed sound with well-developed mids, highs, lows;
• Case and cover, as well as three pairs of interchangeable ear pads;
• Gold-plated plug;
• Build quality using quality materials;
• Reliability and durability;
• Solid cable;
• Microphone.

• Straight mini-Jack;
• The gold plating on the plug wears off quickly;
• Lack of noise reduction;
• When working with IOS, the call answer button does not work, but the rewind and pause function works properly.

Xiaomi engineers have made every effort to create headphones that even the most demanding customers can enjoy. Reviews about the products of this brand are mostly positive. Many people like the sound quality, which was achieved by connecting another dynamic driver, as well as the design.
