The Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo is an ideal companion for young professionals like myself who juggle media events and business meetings. Though funny thing yesterday, I was on my way to the event wearing this but miss the exact event venue LOL.

Anyway, Its elegant design and comfortable fit enable for all-day wear with little discomfort. The open-ear design keeps you aware of your surrounds, which is essential for office contexts or urban settings. I genuinely enjoy the fit. Furthermore, excellent noise reduction technology ensures clear calls, which are necessary for virtual meetings and cooperation.

Fitness aficionados who occasionally run, like me, will value the OpenWear Stereo’s secure fit and lightweight design. It is perfect for exercising in all weather because of its IP54 water resistance. Throughout demanding training sessions, the extended battery life guarantees continuous music playback.

Some of the best features:

17x12mm Elliptical Dynamic Driver

This week, I was able to utilize it for both my workout and a few meetings at work. The Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo‘s audio performance is centered around this driver. Because of its elliptical form, which maximizes sound dispersal, it produces a rich, well-balanced sound with improved bass response.

This translates to clear phone conversations, rich audio, and immersive music. Furthermore, the earphones include a 10mm sound leakage reduction driver that supports the LHDC codec and Hi-Res audio for high-quality wireless audio, together with an active anti-leakage system to solve the issue of sound leakage in close-range circumstances. This is a great tool for individuals that listen to music on a daily basis. And by the way, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars just released their new collaboration. Its good to hear  it first using Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo.

Xiaomi’s 10mm sound leakage reduction driver is a specialized component designed to enhance privacy during audio playback. I was once riding a train while on a meeting and this feature effectively blocking unwanted noise from escaping the headphones, this driver creates a more immersive listening experience while preventing disturbances to others. This technology is particularly useful in noisy environments, allowing users to enjoy their audio content without compromising on discretion.

7.5h/38.5h Ultra Long Battery Life

I have good news for individuals who are worried about prolonged use. The OpenWear Stereo boasts an impressive battery life, providing up to 7.5 hours of continuous listening on a single charge and an additional 38.5 hours when using the charging case. For workers and exercise lovers who are constantly on the road, this is a huge benefit.

Call quality is exceptional with the OpenWear Stereo since it has two microphones and sophisticated AI noise suppression. Well this is the first time I have heard of this but it says effective background noise reduction ensures that even in busy surroundings, discussions are clear and understandable. I nfact I was watching TV while Im on a zoom meeting and they didnt even notice at all.

IP54 Dust and Water Resistance

The IP54 rating indicates that the Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo is protected against water splashes and dust. This makes it a reliable companion for workouts, outdoor activities, and unexpected weather changes.

There are two sophisticated color options for the Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo: Cosmic Gray for a sleek, futuristic appearance and Sandstone Beige for a classic appearance. These hues suit a wide range of styles and satisfy a wide range of tastes.
