Two New Audio Innovations from Xiaomi: Smart Glasses and Redmi Buds 8 Lite

Xiaomi expands its audio lineup with Mijia Smart Audio Glasses and Redmi Buds 8 Lite

Xiaomi has officially unveiled two new additions to its growing audio ecosystem — Mijia Smart Audio Glasses and Redmi Buds 8 Lite. Introduced alongside the latest Redmi smartphone launches, these products highlight the company’s continued focus on wearable audio technology, targeting both lifestyle-oriented users and budget-conscious consumers.

Mijia Smart Audio Glasses: Where style meets smart audio

At first glance, the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses look like regular eyewear, but they are equipped with advanced open-ear audio technology designed for everyday use. The glasses feature built-in speakers and a quad-microphone setup, allowing users to listen to music, take calls, and interact with voice assistants while remaining aware of their surroundings.

The device supports Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity with dual-device pairing, enabling seamless switching between smartphones, tablets, or laptops. Touch-sensitive controls integrated into the frame allow users to manage playback, answer calls, and activate voice assistants with simple gestures.

Xiaomi has also focused on call quality and privacy. The smart glasses include wind noise reduction and a dedicated privacy mode that minimizes sound leakage, making them suitable for use in public spaces and professional environments. With a battery life of up to 13 hours on a single charge and an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance, the glasses are designed for all-day use.

Mijia Smart Audio Glasses are available in three frame styles — Titanium, Browline, and Pilot-style — with pricing ranging from approximately €179 to €199, depending on the design.

Redmi Buds 8 Lite: Affordable audio with modern features

Alongside the smart glasses, Xiaomi introduced the Redmi Buds 8 Lite, a new pair of true wireless earbuds aimed at delivering strong performance at an accessible price point. The earbuds are equipped with a 12.4mm titanium-coated dynamic driver, offering enhanced bass response and balanced sound output.

The Redmi Buds 8 Lite support Bluetooth 5.4 and common audio codecs such as AAC and SBC, ensuring broad compatibility across Android and iOS devices. One of the key highlights is the inclusion of hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) up to 42dB, a feature rarely seen in this price segment.

For clearer voice calls, the earbuds use an AI-based dual-microphone noise reduction system, which helps isolate the user’s voice from background noise. Battery life reaches up to 8 hours on a single charge, with a total of up to 36 hours when used with the charging case. Fast charging support allows several hours of playback with just a short charge.

Redmi Buds 8 Lite are offered in Black, White, and Blue, with an estimated retail price of around €23.

Conclusion

With the launch of Mijia Smart Audio Glasses and Redmi Buds 8 Lite, Xiaomi continues to diversify its audio portfolio. The smart glasses cater to users looking for a blend of fashion and technology, while the Redmi Buds 8 Lite deliver impressive features at a budget-friendly price, strengthening Xiaomi’s position in the competitive global audio market.
