Xiaomi has expanded its audio wearable lineup in China with the launch of the Xiaomi Clip earbuds. The new earbuds were introduced alongside the Xiaomi 17 Max smartphone and Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro. Unlike traditional in-ear audio products, the Xiaomi Clip earbuds feature an open-ear clip-on design aimed at providing a more comfortable and lightweight listening experience.
The company has equipped the earbuds with several premium features, including Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, LHDC 5.0 codec support, AI-powered tools, and compatibility with both Android and iOS devices. One of the biggest highlights is support for Apple’s Find My app, making the Xiaomi Clip earbuds one of the few Android-focused wearables to integrate with Apple’s tracking ecosystem.
Xiaomi Clip Earbuds Audio and Calling Features
The Xiaomi Clip earbuds come with an 11mm dynamic driver featuring a microcrystalline metal-coated diaphragm. According to Xiaomi, the setup delivers audio across a wide 20Hz to 48kHz frequency response range for improved sound quality.
The earbuds also support LHDC 5.0 high-resolution audio decoding and carry Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification for compatible devices.
For calls, Xiaomi has included a triple-microphone setup along with a VPU bone-conduction microphone. The system is designed to isolate voices from surrounding noise, helping improve call clarity in crowded environments.

Xiaomi has also included nearby ringtone finder functionality and long-distance positioning through HyperOS-connected devices.
