Yesterday, Xiaomi unveiled the True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 Pro, a new product (September 28, 2021). This long title covers a lot of what these new AirPod clones have to offer, but there's a lot more. IP55 ingress safety, up to 33 hours of battery capacity between charges, and new audio codecs for "HiFi" sound are some of the highlights.

Latest Technology
Along with the new Civic smartphone and Watch Color 2, Xiaomi has introduced new personal audio accessories today. They've come as a bit of a shock, especially because the OEM released TWS earbuds that are quite similar to them earlier in 2021.
On the other hand, its presentation backs up earlier rumors about Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 Pro successors. They're AirPod clones, similar to the FlipBuds Pro, but with a new design for the external mics and three new colors: black, white, and deep forest green. The buds are also lighter and smaller than their predecessors, according to the manufacturer, for improved comfort and less obtrusiveness.
New True Wireless Headphones 3 Pro
The new True Wireless Headphones 3 Pro, according to Xiaomi, are the first of their type to use LHDC 4.0, a codec certified to provide "HiFi-level" audio quality. They're also the first from their line to get an adaptive ANC rating. Three-stage noise reduction, an ambient mode, and a human voice-enhancing mode are all included in this specification. It has a maximum sound absorption of 40dB, which was reportedly verified by the Chinese Academy of Metrology in this instance.
The 3 Pros also have their OEM's version of spatial (or 360°) audio. They also include wireless and USB type C charging options and are claimed to last up to 6 hours without ANC, with the remainder of their maximum charging time coming from their new case.
Capabilities
Despite these capabilities, the Xiaomi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 Pro is priced at 699 yuan (US$92), compared to 799 yuan (US$109) for the Flipbuds Pro. They are already available for pre-order in China and will be available for public purchase on October 9, 2021.
Tronsmart Apollo Air True Wireless Earbuds are available on Amazon.
