Emir BardakçıA new Xiaomi audio product has now made an appearance in China’s regulatory listings, hinting at an imminent addition to the firm’s wireless earphone portfolio. The gadget, bearing model number M2535E1, cleared the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s radio approval in August. If tipster @experiencemore is anything to go by, this model is actually part of the upcoming Redmi Buds 8 Pro, meaning Xiaomi is getting ready with a refresh of their popular mid-tier TWS series.
The certification only means that the Redmi Buds 8 Pro has passed essential regulatory procedures in China. This generally precedes the public announcements, which means that this product is going to hit the market soon. Xiaomi has not confirmed specifications, but from the given certification, it is certain that the development is finished and mass production probably started, too, which speaks volumes about how quickly this company expands its ecosystem.
Xiaomi has not yet announced the launch date or price of the Redmi Buds 8 Pro, but given the timing of certifications and based on previous product launches, an official announcement might be coming quite soon. Positioned as an affordable yet technically rich offering, the Redmi Buds 8 Pro should contribute to firming up Xiaomi’s mid-segment audio lineup and retain support for the company’s HyperConnect ecosystem.
