With the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses, Xiaomi is bringing a new wearable to Germany that clearly sets itself apart from classic smart glasses. Instead of displays or augmented reality, the manufacturer is focusing on integrated audio technology and unobtrusive operation. The smart glasses are aimed at users who want to integrate phone calls, voice assistants and audio functions directly into their everyday life without sacrificing comfort or a discreet design. The official sales launch marks Xiaomi’s next step in the expansion of its wearable ecosystem.
- Smart glasses without display with open-ear audio concept
- Three different design variants including titanium frame
- Integrated telephony, voice control and audio recording
Xiaomi Mijia Smart Audio Glasses in detail: audio instead of display
At the heart of the Xiaomi Mijia Smart Audio Glasses is a deliberately minimalist approach. Unlike many current smart glasses concepts, Xiaomi completely dispenses with visual overlays. Instead, the product focuses on audio playback and voice communication. The integrated open-ear system reproduces sound without blocking the ear canal so that ambient noise can still be heard. This approach is particularly suitable for situations where awareness of the surroundings is important, such as in traffic or in a working environment.
The Audio Glasses are technically equipped with Bluetooth 5.4 and can be securely paired with smartphones. Four built-in microphones ensure clear voice pick-up and support effective noise suppression during phone calls. They are operated via touch-sensitive surfaces on the temples, which can be used to answer calls, control music or activate the integrated voice assistant. The glasses therefore replace traditional headsets or in-ear headphones in many everyday situations without being visually conspicuous.
An additional feature is the integrated recording function. Conversations or meetings can be recorded with a simple gesture. Xiaomi provides different usage scenarios for this, including classic phone calls or the recording of audio content during media playback. All recordings are managed in the Xiaomi Glasses app, which is also responsible for other settings and the connection to the smartphone.
Wearing comfort, design variety and endurance
In addition to functionality, Xiaomi attaches great importance to design and suitability for everyday use with the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses. The glasses are available in browline, pilot-style sunglasses and a high-quality titanium version. The titanium version in particular stands out due to its low weight of around 35 grams and offers a noticeable comfort advantage during prolonged use. The models with stainless steel frames are somewhat heavier, but remain comfortable to wear in everyday life.
Visually, the Smart Audio Glasses are based on classic spectacle shapes. The technical equipment is inconspicuously integrated into the temples so that the glasses are barely recognizable as a smart device at first glance. This approach makes them versatile – both at work and in leisure time.
The battery performance is also practical. Xiaomi claims a playback time of up to 13 hours, while phone calls are possible for up to 9 hours. In standby mode, the glasses should last up to 12 days. These figures are realistic for an audio wearable without a display and allow several days of use without recharging. The glasses are charged using a specially developed charging accessory that is tailored to the design.
Conclusion
The Xiaomi Mijia Smart Audio Glasses are based on a clearly focused concept: audio, communication and discreet technology in glasses format. The absence of a display is well thought out and underlines the claim to offer a wearable suitable for everyday use. In Germany, the Smart Audio Glasses are now available directly from Xiaomi. Prices start at 179.99 euros, while the lighter titanium version costs 199.99 euros.
