Redmi will release full-sized headphones for the first time: bet on sound and comfort

The Redmi brand is preparing for the release of its first full-size wireless headphones with active noise cancellation. Previously, the well-known brand concentrated exclusively on the production of budget-class TWS headsets, but now it has decided to enter the new segment of the Over-Ear audio format.

The full-size model will be the debut of the brand in this segment of portable audio equipment. The official confirmation of the development of the device was voiced by Lu Weibing (Lu Weibing), who heads the Xiaomi company. The departure of the Redmi brand beyond the traditional range of fully wireless TWS Buds is an important development milestone. This time, the engineers aim to satisfy the requests of those users who value the increased degree of isolation from ambient sounds, improved ergonomics of the headband, and the longest battery life characteristic of devices with a more complex overhead configuration.

Characteristics and parameters of overhead audio system

A detailed technical passport with a description of the diameters of sound membranes or lithium battery capacities is still completely kept secret by the manufacturer. But the company has already officially shared several key features of the upcoming release. We are promised a special deep audio adjustment, which makes the sound rich, as well as a strong emphasis on the high-quality processing of dense, strong low frequencies. Ultra-soft, high-quality cup covering materials are used in the design, which minimizes the load and does not cause discomfort in the area of ​​​​the neck and ears.

Active ANC noise reduction in Redmi headphones

The main advantage of the expected full-size headphones will be the operation of the digital active noise cancellation (ANC) system. It will be an excellent barrier to annoying street sounds during business or everyday movements, business trips, trips and during regular flights. Coupled with the insulating physical factor of the covering headband format, the highly efficient operation of the noise reduction technology will allow you to raise listening to audio tracks to a noticeably different level, previously unavailable in such low price segments of the manufacturer.

Release date and price

The exact start of global retail supply of the debut overhead device from the Redmi brand is scheduled for the end of June 2026. Interestingly, for the audience in the PRC, the collection of applications in the mode of official pre-orders has already begun in full. The extended technical specification of the model and all related data will become public closer to the date of the direct open presentation of the product.

The exact retail price is still kept a strict secret by the manufacturer, but the positioning is expected in the spirit of Redmi devices, known for their high availability at the level of “the price of several lunches”. This will serve as a strong and uncompromising stimulus for competitors from the relevant price strata of the mass market, forcing them to give way to the popularity of a promising new product from a subsidiary brand of the Xiaomi holding.

Market competition and gadget positioning

It will not be easy for the future device from Redmi to break into the category of mass market overhead wireless gadgets: the main sharp fight will have to be launched against the budget hits of the companies Soundcore (Anker) and the Edifier brand. The weapon of the Xiaomi company will be a classic minimalist elegant case, an excellent palette of shades, a long period of autonomy and the desire to provide maximum convenience. The manufacturer emphasizes: “We focused on making quality sound available in a brand-new format, while providing maximum comfort for long-term wear.”
