The latest product in Xiaomi’s vast ecosystem is a Bluetooth headset designed for workouts. Dubbed the Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset, the in-ear headphones are IPX4 certified, making them splash (and sweat) resistant.
The headset offers Bluetooth 4.1 along with A2DP, and can be simultaneously paired with two devices. The design features a loop that goes around the ear, ensuring that the headset doesn’t fall out in the middle of a workout. Overall weight is just 17.8g, and Xiaomi is claiming a 7-hour battery life from the 110mAh battery. The headset is designed to work in extreme environments (from -20 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius), and you get five different ear tips in the box.
The most enticing part about the headset is its price, which is ¥149 ($22) in China. The Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset will go on sale in the country starting November 11, and as of now there’s no mention of international availability. Considering Xiaomi sells accessories — including headphones — from its online store in the U.S., there is a possibility that the headset will make its way to Western markets.
