Xiaomi Buds 4 officialwith 360° spatial audio, LHDC 5.0 codec

Xiaomi has launched its latest midrange earbuds, the Xiaomi Buds 4. It’s a toned-down version of the more premium Buds 4 Pro, but it still offers plenty of great features for the price. Here, we will go over the specifications, features, availability, and expected price of the Xiaomi Buds 4 in Nepal.

Xiaomi Buds 4 Overview:

Design

The Xiaomi Buds 4 have a different design than the Buds 4 Pro. Specifically, these are semi-in-ear buds with a 60° angled design and no silicone tips. Nonetheless, Xiaomi promises a secure and comfortable fit for extended wear.  More importantly, there’s still support for Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). However, there’s no mention of the 48dB exclusion rating of their Pro siblings. It is also IP54 dust and water-resistant, so sweat or splashes of water will not harm the buds. On the other hand, the case has a “space capsule” design. It is IPX4 rated against water resistance.
