To compile this rating, we had to read a lot of reviews from such popular resources as Yandex.Market, DNS, KNS, M.Video, Otzovik and some others. Short notes from buyers allow you to find out if the product matches its description, how reliable it is. Based on the ratings given, an average score is obtained. More points can be added to it if the headphones meet the following criteria:
Long battery life - ideally, they should sound for more than ten hours (for True Wirelles models, battery operation in the case also counts).
Low cost - Devices for which they ask for no more than 3,000 rubles deserve additional points.
Dual driver technology - it is known that these headphones sound best.
aptX support - this digital codec contributes to the reception of sound in the best quality.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Transparency Mode - very important features that also deserve a boost.
Moisture protection - if the headphones are not afraid to be in a puddle, then their use will cause less anxiety.
Top 5. Xiaomi Millet Bluetooth headset mini
An inexpensive option for motorists who rarely manage to take their eyes off the road.
- Average price: 1,100 rubles.
- Standard: Bluetooth 4.1
- aptX support: no
- ACP: none
- Waterproof: IPX4
- Battery life: 2.5 h
Mono headsets are gradually becoming a thing of the past. However, some companies still continue to release them. One of them is the well-known Xiaomi. There are even several models in its assortment. The smallest of them weighs only 4.5 g. At the same time, its design is in-ear. It is not surprising that such a product is kept as securely as possible in the ear, even despite the absence of any attachment. Interestingly, there was a place inside for a fairly good lithium-ion battery. Its full charge is enough for 3 hours of talk time. Considering that it will definitely not be continuous for you, then the headset should last the whole working day. In extreme cases, it can be charged during a lunch break, since this process takes no more than an hour.
If you read the reviews on this mono headset, then there are only positive impressions.The voice of the interlocutor is heard quite well, the microphone also copes with its task quite well. Pleasant emotions are also caused by the stability of the connection - the connection almost never breaks. Some of our readers will be upset only by the micro-USB connector used to connect the charger - in a modern headset I would like to see a noticeably more convenient USB Type-C.
- Low cost
- Good microphone performance
- Minimum weight
- Not the most convenient charging port
- Wish it had an ear hook
Top 4. Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Monitor
Headphones allow you to enjoy listening to music only.
- Average price: 5,500 rubles.
- Standard: Bluetooth 4.1
- aptX support: yes
- ACP: none
- Waterproof: no
- Battery life: 8-9 hours
Xiaomi usually produces devices with the best value for money. Her on-ear headphones are no exception to the rule. This is one of the most affordable models among those that support the aptX digital codec, thanks to which the sound is received almost in CD quality. Also here everything is in order with the weight - 235 g is almost not annoying. The control panel, which allows you to adjust the volume level and switch tracks, turned out to be well thought out.
Behind the ear cushions are very powerful 40mm drivers. They allow you to enjoy music even in a noisy environment. In this case, you will not suffer from the need to regularly connect the network adapter. The manufacturer claims battery life at the level of ten hours, in practice the figures are really close to those mentioned.The only pity is that you have to use the outdated micro-USB port to connect the charger.
- There is support for aptX
- Good battery life on a full charge
- Convenient playback control
- Not the best charging port
- The battery does not fill up with energy too quickly
- Would like less weight
Top 3. Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2
Customers like the extremely low cost, good sound quality, and ease of use.
- Average price: 1,650 rubles.
- Standard: Bluetooth 5.0
- aptX support: no
- ACP: none
- Waterproof: no
- Battery life: 3-4 hours (12 hours including case)
If you look at the technical specifications, you don’t immediately understand why tens of thousands of Russian owners of various smartphones have acquired these TWS headphones. But everything becomes clear after looking at the price tag. Now it is one of the most affordable headsets of its kind. As a result, buyers are not at all confused by the lack of active noise cancellation, just as they do not need a transparency mode. They also do not ask for moisture protection, since it is not recommended to play sports in such headphones. They only care about the presence of a microphone, thanks to which you can talk with the person who called.
This model was released relatively recently, so it keeps in touch with a smartphone via Bluetooth 5.0. There is no aptX support here, but other digital codecs provide very good sound quality. The only pity is that the playback does not last long. The use of the case is required after 3-4 hours. And even with it, the battery life increases only four times.But the headphones themselves turned out to be very light. Their total weight is only 8.2 g. They can only fall out of the ears while running, especially if you choose the right ear pads.
- Very low cost
- Convenient storage case for headphones
- Decent microphone performance
- I would like to get support for aptX
- The case uses a micro-USB connector
- The charge runs out pretty quickly.
Top 2. Xiaomi Mi Collar Bluetooth Headset Youth
The accessory has a neck cord, thanks to which it does not fall to the ground during training.
- Average price: 1,900 rubles.
- Standard: Bluetooth 4.1
- aptX support: no
- ACP: none
- Waterproof: no
- Battery life: 5-6 hours
These wireless headphones have a very capacious battery, so they can be used continuously for up to six hours. And the neck strap will not let the headphones fall off your body, even during some kind of jogging. Most often, this headset is bought specifically for sports. But use it carefully! The fact is that there is no full-fledged moisture protection, because of which sweat can one day disable the accessory.
Otherwise, these are typical wireless headphones, the main feature of which is low cost. As expected, there is a microphone here, so you can answer an incoming call without any problems. But there is no transparency function or something like that here - not the right price segment. Since the headset was not developed this year, the outdated micro-USB connector is used here for charging.Alas, the continuation of this model is not yet planned - Xiaomi has concentrated on fully wireless headphones, which are still not the best fit for sports.
- Holds well in the ears
- Good microphone performance
- Fully charged in just one hour
- Increasingly rare for sale
- Support for more modern codecs would be nice
- No complete waterproofing
Top 1. Xiaomi Air 2 Pro
Xiaomi company gave all the best, but at the same time did not raise the cost of the device.
- Average price: 9,500 rubles.
- Standard: Bluetooth 5.0
- aptX support: no
- ACP: yes
- Waterproof: IPX4
- Battery life: 6-7 hours (28 hours including case)
An excellent choice for those who love to spend a lot of time in headphones. The dimensions of the accessory turned out to be very modest, although not record-breaking small. At the same time, a capacious battery was placed inside each earphone. As a result, you remember the existence of the case only after 6-7 hours. This is a very worthy indicator, which even more expensive competitors often cannot boast of. As you might guess, synchronization with a smartphone is provided by the fifth version of the “blue tooth”. The only pity is that the modern aptX codec is out of work. Either the Chinese did not want to pay money for a license, or the electronics processing the whole thing simply did not fit here.
The case is charged via a USB Type-C connector. Placing headphones in it also does not cause any discomfort. Pleased with the presence of some moisture protection. Theoretically, you can even play sports in the headset, because sweat should not harm them. But this is not the main feature.Each headphone has three microphones! Firstly, it allows your interlocutor to hear crystal clear speech. Secondly, such a number contributes to the excellent operation of the active noise reduction system.
- The charge is consumed very slowly
- The price can not be called prohibitively high
- Implemented active noise cancellation
- aptX support would be nice
