Xiaomi is releasing FlipBuds Pro earphones with active noise cancellation in China

Xiaomi has announced new high-end wireless earphones in China. The FlipBuds Pro have active noise cancellation that works with three microphones per earpiece. The ears are equipped with a Qualcomm chip with support for Bluetooth 5.2.

According to Xiaomi, the FlipBuds Pro earphones suppress ambient noise up to 40 decibels. The earbuds themselves produce sound with 11mm drivers and support the aptx Adaptive codec. Operation is done with gestures: a long press on one of the earbuds activates one tansparencymode, in which ambient sounds can be heard better.

The earbuds have a Game Mode that should ensure low latency, but this only works when the FlipBuds Pro are paired with certain Xiaomi smartphones. It concerns the Mi Mix Fold, the models from the Mi 11 series and the Redmi K40s and Note 9 Pro.

Xiaomi uses Qualcomm’s QCC5151 chip for Bluetooth 5.2 and the earbuds can be connected to two devices at the same time. The ears can be ordered in China for 799 yuan, which is about 102 euros. It is not known whether and when the earphones will also be available in Europe.
