Noise cancellation
One of the most outstanding features of the new Xiaomi Buds 3 is noise cancellation. Xiaomi promises that its new TWS headphones are capable of canceling up to 40 dB. It also points out that the system features several configurable modes.
Users will be able to choose between balanced noise reduction, for environments such as cafes or parks; mild, for offices or libraries; and deep, for situations of high noise congestion such as subway or airplane travel.
And, as in other proposals of the brand, it will be possible to choose the transparent mode to listen to the sounds of the environment without stopping listening to music. This includes a “voice enhancement” option for talking to another person with the headphones on.
Xiaomi explains that the features mentioned above are made possible by the “cooperation” between three microphones in the Xiaomi Buds 3. The algorithm uses combined sound to reduce noise and enhance the voice as needed.
Familiar design and up to 32 hours of use
The Xiaomi Buds 3 will be offered in black and white colors. Its lines combine something of the AirPods with the company’s previous proposals in a 4.6 g body, with a protruding antenna and interchangeable earpads.
Its robust appearance stands out. They also have IP55 waterproof and dustproof certification, so they can be good companions when doing sports, although, with the care that requires a type of device like this.
To answer calls, start the voice assistant, change the noise cancellation modes or control the music, just touch the bottom of the headphones.
The Xiaomi Buds 3 can run for up to 7 hours on a single charge. However, the usage duration can be extended up to 32 hours if supported with the included charging case. In all cases, noise cancellation is disabled.
Pricing and availability of the Xiaomi Buds 3
At the moment Xiaomi has presented its new headphones for the Chinese market. There they will be priced at 499 yuan. Now it only remains to wait to know if they will cross the Asian borders and arrive in global markets.
