The Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro are true wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation, featuring Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and a USB Type-C charging case with wireless charging support.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro are a well-rounded pair of true wireless earbuds that deliver solid audio performance and effective hybrid noise cancellation for their price point. They offer a generous feature set including multipoint connectivity, wireless charging, and aptX Adaptive support, with battery life that holds up well when ANC is off. While they shine in overall value, some usability quirks and compatibility concerns with non-Xiaomi devices may give potential buyers pause.

What works

  • Good sound quality with dynamic 11mm drivers
  • Effective hybrid ANC for blocking ambient noise
  • Supports multipoint and aptX Adaptive codecs
  • Long total battery life of 28 hours with case
  • IPX4 water resistance and wireless charging

What doesn't

  • Battery drops to 5 hours with ANC enabled
  • Compatibility issues reported with non-Xiaomi phones
  • Touch controls may require a learning curve
  • Design is fairly mainstream and not distinctive
