The Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro Earbuds are Xiaomi's premium answer to flagship audio from rivals like Samsung and Apple, pairing a luxurious design with active noise cancellation and long battery life. Priced at 799 Yuan (around 9,100 rupees), the Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro Earbuds are aimed at listeners who want pro-grade sound without stepping outside the Xiaomi ecosystem. The buds launched first in China, with an India release expected soon.
Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro Earbuds: sound quality and design
Xiaomi says the standout feature of these earbuds is their sound quality and premium look, and the company is clearly positioning the FlipBuds Pro against the kind of pro earbuds offered by premium rivals such as Samsung and Apple. At the core of the audio experience are 11mm super dynamic drivers, which Xiaomi credits with enhancing the overall sound quality and giving the buds a fuller output.
Adding to the everyday usability is a dual transparency sound mode. With it switched on, you can keep listening to music while still hearing the events happening around you, making it easier to stay aware of your surroundings without pulling the buds out. On the call and clarity side, the FlipBuds Pro use three microphones that handle advanced noise cancellation, helping keep your voice clean and the background quiet during calls.
ANC that cuts external noise by 90 percent
On the noise cancellation front, Xiaomi makes a bold claim: the active noise cancellation on the FlipBuds Pro can reduce background noise by up to 90 percent. Driving that performance is Qualcomm's QCC5151 chipset, which Xiaomi says helps the earbuds deliver clear, clean audio even in noisier environments. Rather than a single blanket setting, the buds offer three dedicated noise cancellation modes tailored to different situations:
- Daily Mode to cut out everyday ambient noise.
- Office Mode to mute computer hum, AC drone, and surrounding chatter.
- Air Travel Mode to suppress engine roar and cabin air pressure noise during flights.
Smart dual-device connection
The FlipBuds Pro support a dual device smart connection, so you can link the two stems to different devices at the same time and switch between them seamlessly.
Battery life and charging
Battery endurance is one of the headline reasons to consider these buds. On a single charge, the earbuds themselves run for up to 7 hours of playback, and with the charging case factored in, total runtime climbs to 28 hours. That makes them comfortable companions for long listening sessions, commutes, and travel days without constant top-ups.
When the buds do need power, the case uses a USB Type-C port with fast charging support, delivering up to 2 hours of use from just a 5-minute charge. For added convenience, wireless charging is also supported, so you can simply drop the case onto a compatible pad.
