Xiaomi Type-C Earphones are a budget wired in-ear set that plugs into a USB-C port instead of a 3.5 mm jack. The driver is 12.4 mm, impedance is 32 Ω, and sensitivity is at least 108 dB SPL at 3 mW. One retailer lists the frequency response as 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The pair weighs about 13.5 g. The 1.25 m TPE cable carries an inline three-button remote and a microphone, and the earphones come in black or white. Indian listings date the release to 1 October 2024. Xiaomi’s pitch is simple: a wired option for phones that dropped the headphone jack.
Nothing to charge here, because there is no battery. Power comes from the phone, tablet or laptop through the USB-C port, at a small cost to the host’s battery. No pairing is needed. The catch is compatibility: the host has to support audio output over USB-C, and some older or budget phones don’t.
In India, listings run from ₹549 to ₹599 at Amazon and Croma. Elsewhere, about BDT 599 in Bangladesh, €10 to €16 in Europe and $6 to $7 on US price trackers. The buyer is someone with a jackless phone who wants a cheap wired set for calls, video and music. Inside Xiaomi’s range, they sit near the older Mi Piston Type-C earphone and below budget wireless sets like the Redmi Buds 6 Active. Realme Buds 3 Wired and Apple EarPods USB-C compete at similar or slightly higher prices. The closest direct match is the boAt Bassheads 300C Type-C. Rival prices change often, so confirm them before you publish.
