08:23 MiuiOS.in 0 Comments

Last week, Xiaomi launched few new products. That is Mi Bluetooth Headset, Mi Yee Light Bedside Lamp and the Mi Router which looks like Mi Bunny. Seems like Xiaomi is expanding their ecosystem to everything related to our daily life ranging from Mi Band, Mi Scale, Mi Yi action camera up to Mi Phone, MI Tv, Mi Router, Mi Pad, Mi box and so on. Some products are not produced by Xiaomi directly but it's from their ecochain companies. However, don't worry as Xiaomi always maintain and have a strict quality control.

So this episode we will introduce a Mi Bluetooth Headset. Perhaps many of us having driving license and drive daily to work , what if your phone suddenly ring and a call from your boss/ mum/ girlfriend/ boyfriend? I am sure in most countries, you are not allowed to answer call or playing phone while driving. It's extremely dangerous to drive only with single hand, what if we have a bluetooth headset? Just a click to answer the call and both your hand will be steadily handle the steering.

There are a lot of bluetooth headset in the market, some even reach thousands ++ . How about Xiaomi Bluetooth Headset which only costs 79 Yuan? Cheap stuff are bad? Nope, let's have a look

This Mi Bluetooth Headset packed with the white box. This is totally different compared to the brown color box we normally receive our phone.

White color looks clean, neat and elegant.

Mi Bluetooth Headset is very light and easy to bring around. There are 2 colors to choose from that is black and white. For your info, the design of Mi Bluetooth Headset won the IF award from Germany which is similar to Oscar's award.

Until this stage some might wonder, Hmmm what if my white Mi Bluetooth Headset got dirty with stained? Xiaomi claimed that it can be easily cleaned just like Mi4i back cover as they are using Japan Technology on the paint. Let's carry out the experiment !

We wrote something on the Mi Bluetooth Headset as you can see. We used marker pen which is famous for its stubborn stain.

As you can see it's easily cleaned just using water and cloth/tissue. No one will know we actually wrote something on it before

Mi Bluetooth Headset also did a research on the design of the earphone. The earphone is made with special silicon which do not have any weird odor. Besides that, the shape are chosen based on 2000 Asian's ear size. So it's very comfortable when you wear it.

On top of the Mi Bluetooth Headset is the switch which has a symbol of a phone. The bottom of it has a LED light which will blinking when connected.

Mi Bluetooth Headset using bluetooth 4.1 technology which support it to connect with 2 devices. If you have iphone and Android phone in the pocket, it will connect to the one which is ringing. The noise cancellation also great and reduce the noise in the environment and enhance human's voice.

How about the battery life? According to Xiaomi, it can lasts for 180 hours which is enough for 1 week usage. Besides that, It only took 2 hours to charge it to full battery stats as well.

One disadvantage of this Mi Bluetooth Headset the volume button was sacrificed for the appearance. Therefore you need to adjust it manually using your phone.

This is no doubt an another good product with affordable price by Xiaomi ecosystem company. So far this product was sold out in China. If you always have lots of calls to answer this would be a great choice for you !

Ps: No announcement on when it will release outside of China yet so do keep an eyes on your country Mi Facebook for more infos !

Mi headphone: Complet Picture Review

05:52 MiuiOS.in 0 Comments

Fellow MIUIers,

From the product launch of 15^th January, came the Mi Headphones - a masterpiece of its own category. Boasting hardware found usually on higher end models of rival companies, will the Mi Headphones be the must-have of any consumers? Let's unbox it first and do a simple review!

The Unboxing

Following the tradition of simplistic cardboard boxes, the Mi Headphones come in a white packaging. The one I received is a public testing model, as the headphones is yet to be sold to public.

Pushing out the slide-out drawer, one will be presented with a user manual and a black carrying pouch

Beneath the pouch is a black velvet bag, also for users to store the headphones.

Opening the black carrying pouch reveals the contents - the Mi Headphones

The complete set - Mi Headphones, 1.4M cable, a 3.5 to 6.3mm cable adaptor, dual jack adaptor for on-plane use and a pair of larger ear cups

The cable has a 3.5mm end that goes into an ouput and a 2.5mm end that goes into the headphones.

The First Impression

The gold-and-black colour combination definitely makes the headphone looks elegant, but is the sound on-par with what 1more and Xiaomi claims? We'll find out later.

Using leather for both earcups, it feels comfortable and soft after putting them on. Depends on users liking, the default earcup is a smaller on-ear while users can opt for the bigger over-ear. Giving users choice is always good. Removing the earcup reveals the prized 50mm Beryllium diaphragms.

The band is also covered in leather and a layer of cushioning, with a Mi logo sitting on top. Clearly of quality, the band sits and curves on one's head comfortably.

Most of the jacks come plated with gold to improve signal transmission. The 3.5mm to 6.3mm adaptor is covered in too much gold to my liking though.

Putting the headphones on, it clearly stands out of the crowd with the design and colours.

The Review

Let's start with my experience of putting on the headphones. While leather and proper cushioning promises a comfortable wearing experience, the on-ear earcups will press on and cause pain to the ears besides the heat. Using the over-ear earcups solves these problems, but adds too much bulk to it.

Now on to sound quality testing. While listening to The Piano Guys - Cello Ascends, the sound of cellos and piano are crisp and clear. The sense of space is there, but insufficient. Bass is a little low but acceptable as the song is not mainly about bass. Sound reproduction is exemplary at this price point, but not exactly screaming top notch as compared to other audiophile headphones.

Tested with Mi3, Dirac Audio: Off, Equilizer: Flat

After we try out instrumental music, it's time for some techno. Punchy bass lines and clear electric tones, all just nice and not overwhelming, can be heard on Dimitri Vegas, MOGUAI & Like Mike - Mammoth; DVBBS & Borgeous - Tsunami and BORGORE & SIKDOPE - Unicorn Zombie Apocalypse.

Tested with Mi3, Dirac Audio: Off, Equilizer: Flat

Conclusion

All in all, the Mi Headphones is a great piece of audio equipment if you're looking for a good hardware at a very low price: the punchy bass; responsive and clear highs; elegant design. Once again proving Xiaomi's philosophy of "Technology that everybody can enjoy" and 1more's great design capabilities.

Disclaimer: Using only a Mi3 for audio quality testing, the sound reproduction review might not be accurate as Mi3 doesn't utilize the headphones to the maximum. (I was going to borrow a Mi Note to try out, but then I returned it before I can actually test it)
