1.weight
12.2g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
2.has no wires or cables
✔Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds together.
3.wingtips included
✖Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro
These earbuds come with wingtips that can be attached for a more secure fit. Wingtips come in handy for sports and other physical activities. When used correctly, they prevent the earbuds from falling off.
4.sweat resistance
✖Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro
Resistance to sweat makes it ideal for use while doing sports.
5.is dustproof and water-resistant
✖Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
6.has an in-ear form
✔Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro
The in-ear device is ultracompact and lightweight, with little or no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. It is inserted in the ear canal itself and blocks out a lot of environmental noise. It has stronger bass tones and is unlikely to fall out of the ear.
7.has an earbud form
✖Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro
The earbud form is ultracompact and lightweight, with little or no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. For some people it is more comfortable than in-ear form.
8.has stereo speakers
✔Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
9.waterproof depth rating
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The waterproof depth rating indicates how well the device is protected against water ingress and water pressure. Devices which can withstand more water pressure are better for swimming or diving.
Sound quality
1.has active noise cancellation (noise control)
✔Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
2.has passive noise reduction
✔Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
4.lowest frequency
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
5.highest frequency
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
6.sound pressure level
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
7.impedance
16 Ohms
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
8.has a neodymium magnet
✖Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
Power
The device's battery life (when in use) as given by the manufacturer. With a longer battery life you have to charge the device less often.
The battery life of the charging case as given by the manufacturer. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your headphones on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
3.charge time
0.52h
The time it takes to fully charge the battery.
4.battery power
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
5.has wireless charging

4.has aptX Adaptive
✔Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro
aptx Adaptive is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps), which means it can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as listening to HD audio or reducing interference from other devices.
5.has aptX Low Latency
✖Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro
aptX Low Latency is a codec developed by Qualcomm. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag (e.g. when playing games).

Hola, me gusta mucho todo el tema de tecnologia y los gadgets de xiaomi. Sin embargo, aqui en Ecuador-Guayaquil he comprado estos auriculares y al principio todo bien, el sonido todo bien, sin embargo usandolo y probando las horas prometidas por xiaomi, la verdad es que en el modo off no llego ni a las 7 horas, en ocasiones he llegado a las 5 y eso con las ultimas. Reclame en la tienda y me dieron unos nuevos, sin embargo me hace o realizan el mismo funcionamiento. cambie los codecs de aptx a AAC como lo menciona en la pagina de xiaomi global pero he conseguido los mismo resultados, pero me saca de onda saber que el fabricante en realidad no cumple con lo prometido.
