TOP 12 best wired and wireless Xiaomi headphones: 2020-2021 rating by price and quality

How to choose headphones?

The choice of this accessory depends on the goals pursued and the level of sound quality. Wireless ones are convenient for sports, full-size ones are convenient for long-term listening, so the specific purpose is the most important criterion.

The main parameters include the following:

• Construction . Wired and wireless models are divided into several types - full-size, on-ear, in-ear, and in-ear. The choice depends on how comfortable it is to be in them;
• Power . This indicator should be taken into account when listening to sounds with bass;
• Quality . It is determined by three properties: sensitivity, impedance, frequency range. The first factor is responsible for the volume level, 95-100 dB is considered the standard; the second affects both the volume and sound quality; for portable equipment, values ​​up to 16 or 32 Ohms are recommended, for stationary equipment - above 32 Ohms; frequency characterizes the spectrum of reproduced sounds, the norm is from 20 to 20,000 Hz.

To make the final decision, you should try on the chosen model to feel how comfortable they are and for how long they can be used. It is worth paying attention to the material of the ear pads, headboard, wires, and read reviews from other consumers.

Xiaomi 1More Piston Classic

Another excellent example of cooperation between two Chinese companies was the Xiaomi 1More Piston Classic . This is an excellent, sound-balanced model that has a simple, but at the same time pleasant and reliable design. Special architecture with a membrane made of aerospace materials, as well as patented technologies, allow you to achieve clear and rich sound that will literally caress your ears. Thanks to this sound quality, they appeal to a large number of inexperienced listeners, in addition to offering a high level of comfort, an attractive (as we noted above) appearance and a fairly affordable price.

So for those who like balanced sound, with an extended high-frequency range and punchy bass, these headphones may be the best choice. Especially when you consider that their current average cost reaches 1,600 rubles .

Rating of the TOP 12 best Xiaomi headphones 2020-2021

This rating includes the best wired and wireless Xiaomi headphones based on customer reviews.

Xiaomi Mi ANC

The next model on our list, namely the Xiaomi Mi ANC , are unique in that they are not connected using a standard 3.5 mm plug or via Bluetooth. No, they plug directly into the charging port using USB Type-C. This is one of the newest types of plugs on the market, and it is mainly intended for use with high-end modern smartphones, which, for the sake of one or another circumstance, have abandoned the standard headphone jack (as one fairly well-known company did). And, naturally, when making such decisions in their models, manufacturing companies simply could not leave the headphone market without this (and similar) version.

Yes, this model is quite expensive, but you get exactly what you pay for, as it has exceptional build quality, sound quality, and noise-canceling properties. These headphones are truly a great choice for those who need a USB-C connection and also don't mind paying the price for the quality. The latter, by the way, today averages 4,200 rubles .

Xiaomi Piston Air Capsule

Another interesting model can also be considered Xiaomi Piston Air Capsule , which, although they were released a little over a year ago, are still in demand among many, as they have some distinctive features, which we will consider in order. And first of all, it is worth noting that they have an excellent combination of “price and quality”, since they can cost relatively inexpensively, but the sound can please many. Secondly, they have an amazing design that allows them to fit comfortably and securely in the ear. Yes, the metal part will be a little noticeable, but everything else is quite soft, which does not cause absolutely any discomfort. Sometimes this metal part can cause slight inconvenience, but this will only happen after long hours of continuous wearing (which happens with almost any in-ear headphones).

In general, this model has an ergonomic design with good sound insulation, as well as excellent sound quality for an average cost of about 900 rubles , which is absolutely acceptable.

Xiaomi 1More iBFree

Another Bluetooth headphone on this list, which was also created in collaboration with 1More , is Xiaomi 1More iBFree . They are quite comfortable, sound good, and the price, compared to many other wireless models, is, well, too attractive. And the fact is that they absolutely do not sound worth their money. On the contrary, they sound much better, and the fact that they are wireless is just icing on the cake. But the sound of this type of headphones is almost the weakest point due to the lack of wired signal transmission. Naturally, there is also moisture protection at the same level as the sports version of Xiaomi headphones, which still won’t allow you to go to the pool in them.

A large number of horn tips (as well as regular ear pads) will allow you to easily choose the most comfortable solution, and the battery life of this model reaches impressive figures, offering up to 8 hours of music listening. As for the price tag, on average it is 2,300 rubles , which is quite pleasant.
