Why does Xiaomi want to release a Xiaomi true wireless noise reduction headphone 3 in the case of the pro version. This made me very curious at this point. After all, while the former is priced, the comprehensive experience is also very good.
So at the press conference, Xiaomi officially made it clear that the positioning of this Xiaomi true wireless noise-canceling headphone 3 is the sinking model of the Pro, that is, in addition to the slight changes in the design, some adjustments have been made to the headphone function, and the price is also cheaper by 200 yuan. In my use this month, Xiaomi's true wireless noise-canceling headphones 3 are not bad in terms of sound quality, noise reduction double connection or pressure control, and even let me feel a little regret when I bought the Pro version.
In terms of appearance, this time Xiaomi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 provides two colors of ink jade black and first snow white, and what we have in our hands is the black version of ink jade. The charging case still adopts an oval arc design, frosted material, and feels good in the hand.
Interestingly, although the official description of the color is ink jade black, the charging case will show a deep blue color under the bright light, which is very advanced in appearance; while daily use is a matte black look.
The charging case of the Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 adopts a magnetic opening and closing design, which can easily open the lid with one hand. When the lid is opened near the Xiaomi phone, the headset will be automatically recognized by the phone, and a pop-up window prompt will appear at the same time.
Although the pop-up prompt after the connection is completed will become the headset and charging case battery prompt, as well as the shortcut entrance to the setting menu, I think it is best to set the pop-up window opening/closing in the corresponding setting menu, after all, it is still a bit cumbersome to pop up the window every time it is opened.
The headphone body of the Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 adopts an oval spinning conical design, the same matte material as the charging box, but the color is slightly different, and there will be no tendency to bluish under strong light.
Xiaomi true wireless noise-canceling headphones 3 single earbuds weigh about 4.6g, with silicone ear caps in the body feel good when wearing, long-term wear will not have a feeling of fatigue.
Next, let's talk about some differences with this pair of Xiaomi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 and Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones 3 Pro.
First of all, in the design of the headphone body, the ear stem of the Xiaomi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphone 3 is significantly more slender, so that the pressure-sensitive buttons on the ear stem are more conducive to blind exercise.
Secondly, Xiaomi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 cancels the spatial audio function and the HD audio decoding of LHDC4.0, after all, the current pro version of the spatial audio can only be used on a few devices such as Xiaomi Civi, and the cancellation has little impact on most users.
Then the speaker unit of the Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 was replaced by a diamond-like dual magnetic unit to an ultra-dynamic dual magnetic unit. But after all, it is also tuned by the Xiaomi Acoustics Laboratory, so the sound quality of the Xiaomi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 is still very good.
Finally, the Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 canceled the adaptive noise reduction function and only provided 4 noise reduction options of light, balanced, deep and anti-wind noise. I'm guessing this may be due to the instability of the adaptive mode noise reduction function, or deliberately designed to differentiate the product features.
However, the cancellation of this function only requires me to manually go to the settings to adjust the noise reduction mode in different usage scenarios. For example, choose light in the office, balance on the road, choose depth in subway buses and other scenarios, and choose anti-wind noise function on windy days.
In addition to the above differences, the Xiaomi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 and the Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 Pro perform basically the same.
For example, the two have the same excellent 40dB depth of noise reduction performance - and this data has also passed the authoritative certification of the "Chinese Institute of Metrology".
For example, there are three microphones + AI intelligent noise reduction algorithm, which can ensure clear calls in a variety of environments.
For example, the transparency mode of Xiaomi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 also has two types: "Transparency" mode and "Vocal Enhancement" mode. The latter will strengthen the voices around you, so that you can clearly hear others when listening to the song.
For example, both have cross-platform dual Bluetooth device connectivity. With this feature turned on, I can connect my phone and my MacBook Air at the same time with the Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3, at which point the headphones will automatically switch playback sources based on the priority of the audio, without having to constantly disconnect from other devices.
In terms of battery life, the Xiaomi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 has a single battery life of up to 7 hours, and can be used with a charging case for up to 32 hours, so I have not encountered a situation where the headphones are out of power under the high-intensity use of these days.
In addition, Xiaomi true wireless noise-canceling headphones 3 in addition to using type-C charging, but also support wireless charging, so in case of going out of the house when there is no power, you can also use the wireless reverse charging of the mobile phone to remedy it.
At present, in addition to the lack of adaptive noise reduction (but provides a full range of anti-wind noise modes), Xiaomi true wireless noise reduction headphones 3 and Xiaomi true wireless noise reduction headphones 3 Pro will not have any obvious difference in actual use. Considering the price difference between the two is a full 200 yuan, obviously, the Xiaomi true wireless noise-canceling headphones 3, which only sell for 499 yuan, are more fragrant.
