Waterproof earphones are not a new concept, but the options for them are not very wide either. Because of this, Xiaomi has launched their latest earphone offering, called Xiaomi Bone Conduction Earphones 2, which is said to come with a waterproof design with a depth of 5 meters.
The audio output capability of these earphones can be seen from the name of the earphones themselves, which uses bone conduction technology to channel audio sound through the bones in your head.
The use of bone conduction technology also allows Xiaomi to further tighten the frame design to allow it to be used for swimming or diving activities better.
These earphones also come with a swim mode to further improve the performance of these earphones when used in water. These earphones also come with built-in storage for audio files when you swim because Bluetooth mode is not very suitable for use when you are in water. With a 165mAH battery, Xiaomi says these earphones come with a battery life of 12 hours on a full charge.
Xiaomi Bone Conduction Earphones 2 are currently available in China for 699 Yuan. An announcement for global sales is yet to be announced.
