Exclusive: Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo Pro open-ear headphones are coming to the Czech Republic. They will offer up to 45h battery life and smart features, we know the price

The Chinese technology giant Xiaomi introduced the OpenWear Stereo Pro wireless headphones to its domestic market this year, building on last year’s successful OpenWear Stereo model. The editorial team of Svět Androida has now managed to find out that the new product is also heading to the Czech Republic. On the Smarty e-shop, we discovered a prematurely published product page where the headphones are listed in three color variants for a price of 3,890 CZK.

Three colors and a price under four thousand

The Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo Pro will appear in domestic stores in three color variants – gray, gold, and black. All variants will be available for a uniform price of 3,890 CZK, which is a pleasant surprise given the advanced features the headphones offer. For comparison, competing open-ear headphones often start at higher prices.

Five drivers for perfect sound

The main draw of the Pro model is the five-driver system, which represents a novelty in the open-ear headphone segment. The heart of the sound setup is an 18×13mm dynamic driver complemented by a pair of armature units and a piezoelectric element for high frequencies. Xiaomi also boasted about its collaboration with Harman Golden Ear experts, who fine-tuned the sound profile.

The headphones support the LHDC 5.0 codec with transmission up to 96 kHz and have received Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification. To maintain privacy, they feature an active sound leakage suppression system that uses inverse sound waves to minimize the audibility of music to those nearby.

Comfortable wearing thanks to titanium wire

Each earbud weighs just 9.7 grams and uses a 0.6mm titanium wire with shape memory. This can be adjusted by 45 mm for optimal fit on various ear types. The surface is covered with a soft silicone material that adheres comfortably to the skin. Xiaomi tested the construction for 5,000 bending cycles.

The design utilizes a three-point attachment system that evenly distributes weight and minimizes pressure on the ears. Furthermore, the headphones are angled outwards, so they do not press on the ear cartilage even during all-day wear.

Up to 45 hours of battery life with the case

The OpenWear Stereo Pro will offer 8.5 hours of continuous listening on a single charge. With the charging case, the battery life extends to 45 hours. Xiaomi has implemented fast charging – just 10 minutes in the case provides two hours of music playback. Charging occurs via a USB-C connector.

Smart features including AI translation

The headphones communicate via Bluetooth 5.4 and support connection to multiple devices simultaneously. Advanced features include 360° spatial audio with head tracking, which works when watching videos or playing games.

In China, the headphones also boast a number of interesting features, such as direct audio recording into the headphones. Xiaomi has also added AI simultaneous translation between Chinese and English – a feature useful for international calls or conferences. According to the product page on Smarty, we might expect something similar here as well, as the retailer explicitly mentions “AI translation, transcription, and recording”, but does not provide further details.

Last but not least, it is worth mentioning that the headphones have received IP54 certification for dust and splash resistance. Control is provided by touch surfaces with the option to customize gestures in the app.

Availability unclear for now

Although the Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo Pro has already appeared in the Smarty e-shop’s offering, the official launch date is not yet known. The product is currently listed as a new item available for order with a specified shipping date.

It is, however, worth noting that the Xiaomi 15T flagship series will soon be unveiled at a conference in Munich, Germany. The headphones, along with other products for which we do not yet have details, could therefore accompany it.
