Xiaomi Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones Pro with ANC launched in India

Xiaomi launched the Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker and Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones Pro in India on Monday. Building on the existing Mi Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker and Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones, Xiaomi’s new audio products bring subtle yet noticeable improvements. And just like their predecessors, the Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker and Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones Pro are also very aggressively priced. While the former has been launched at Rs 2,499, the latter will be available for Rs 1,799.

The 16W Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker has dual (8W) drivers and dual sound modes letting users toggle between normal and deep bass modes. The ‘portable’ speaker comes with a mesh design available in two colourways, including black and blue, with anti-slip paddings for enhanced grip. The speaker is also IPX7-certified which makes it water resistant up to a maximum depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. The 2,600mAh battery inside the speaker is claimed to offer up to 13 hours of battery life on single charge. Charging is via USB Type-C.

The Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker has a built-in microphone for taking calls on the fly. Multiple such speakers can be paired together for a stereo sound effect. The speaker also works with voice assistants.
