Emir BardakçıXiaomi enthusiasts have something to anticipate now that the tech brand seems to be getting set to release an improved version of its open-ear headphones. A new Xiaomi audio product with the model “M2503E1” has gone through regulatory certification, and based on that, is expected to be sold in international markets under the name “Xiaomi Open Earphones Pro” or “OpenWear Stereo Pro.” This development follows Xiaomi’s successful release of their initial open-ear headphones a year ago, which became popular due to their comfort design and sound quality.
What the FCC certification tells us
The certification documents reveal some interesting facts about the new device:
-
- Battery specifications comprise a 788mAh charging case.
- Every earphone has a 56mAh battery
- It supports 6W charging power.
- Equipped with Bluetooth LE technology
- Model name specified as “Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo Pro”
Comparison to the Original Model
The new Xiaomi Open Earphones (M2319E1) that were introduced in early April 2024 are priced at 649 yuan, or around $90 USD. The earphones have:
- 10 millimeter audio driver unit
- Hi-Res Audio certification
- Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity
- Total battery life of up to 38.5 hours with the charging case
- Dual microphones with AI noise reduction
What to Expect with the Pro Version
Although actual enhancements have not been established, the “Pro” nomenclature indicates a few likely enhancements:
- Improved sound quality
- Improved battery efficiency
- Advanced noise cancelling features
- Potentially better water resistance
- Supplementary intelligent features or controls
The battery capacity looks to be the same as the current model, suggesting Xiaomi has optimized efficiency rather than just trying to make the battery larger.
Release Timeline
Even if Xiaomi has not yet made a release date public, the FCC certification indicates that the release will not be too distant. Most companies release their products roughly a few months after gaining regulatory approval.
