Xiaomi Wireless Bluetooth 4.1 Music Sport Earbuds Review

Well, it looks simple. The Xiaomi Wireless Bluetooth 4.1 Music Sport earbuds feature a simple design, which in my opinion, looks quite elegant and pretty light-weight at just 17.8 grams. You’ll hardly feel the earphone while wearing it around your ear.

It stays stable in your ear even during strenuous exercise; thanks to the special adjustable ear hook design. The earphone is IPX4 certified, meaning that it is waterproof, sweat-proof and thus durability is also assured.
