42dB ANC and 72 hours of battery, over-ear
A 40mm titanium-plated driver, triple-mic call clarity and Hi-Res wired audio in a lightweight over-ear design. Irish stock, Irish warranty.
Redmi Headphones Neo: all-day ANC without the daily charge
The Redmi Headphones Neo is an over-ear wireless headphone built around two things most people actually want: quiet, and battery life that doesn't need managing. Active Noise Cancellation reaches up to 42dB, with three manual levels or an adaptive mode that adjusts to the room on its own, and a single charge is rated for around 72 hours of playback with ANC off.
Sound comes from a 40mm titanium-plated dynamic driver with an enlarged diaphragm for deeper bass and cleaner treble, and four preset EQ modes let you shift the balance toward bass, treble or vocals, or set your own. Connect over USB-C and the headphones carry Hi-Res Audio certification for wired playback — a cable is not included, so use one you already have that supports data transfer.
Calls run through three microphones with AI noise reduction, plus wind noise cancellation at speeds up to 5 m/s, so conversations hold up outdoors and on the move. The headband is telescopic with multiple adjustment points, and the ear cushions use breathable protein leather over low-pressure foam for long sessions without ear fatigue.
Redmi Headphones Neo price and availability in Ireland
Every Redmi Headphones Neo we sell is Irish stock supplied through mStore.ie, not a grey import. That means an Irish warranty you can actually claim against, and no customs bill arriving after the headphones do. Colour availability varies — the colours held in Dublin are the ones listed on this page.
Up to 42dB, adaptive or manual
Active Noise Cancellation filters out steady background noise such as traffic, engines and office chatter. Choose from three fixed levels for predictable cancellation, or switch to Adaptive mode and let the headphones respond automatically as the noise around you changes. A single tap mutes ANC when you need to hear your surroundings.
| ANC depth | Up to 42dB, within a specific frequency range |
|---|---|
| Modes | Three manual levels, or Adaptive |
| Quick control | Tap once to mute noise cancellation |
| Settings | Xiaomi Earbuds app, or Bluetooth settings on HyperOS 3+ phones |
Clear calls on the street or on the bus
Three microphones feed an AI algorithm that separates your voice from background noise, so calls stay clear on crowded public transport or a busy street. A separate wind noise cancellation mode keeps calls intelligible outdoors at wind speeds up to 5 m/s, whether you're walking or cycling.
- Triple-mic array with AI call noise reduction
- Wind noise cancellation up to 5 m/s
- Effective walking, cycling and outdoors
A 40mm driver built for bass and detail
An enlarged diaphragm area moves more air for deeper, more resonant bass, while the composite titanium coating keeps treble crisp rather than harsh. Over USB-C, the headphones support USB Audio and carry Hi-Res Audio certification for wired listening, and four EQ presets — plus a fully custom option — let you shape the sound to the music or your ears.
| Driver | 40mm titanium-plated dynamic driver |
|---|---|
| Frequency response | 20Hz–20kHz (Bluetooth), 20Hz–40kHz (USB Audio) |
| Wired audio | USB Audio via USB-C, Hi-Res Audio certified |
| EQ presets | Balanced, Enhance Bass, Enhance Treble, Enhance Voice, Custom |
| Impedance | 32Ω |
Built for hours, not just a commute
Skin-friendly protein leather ear cushions sit over low-pressure breathable foam, giving rebound support that reduces ear pressure on longer sessions. The telescopic headband adjusts across multiple levels for different head sizes, and the lightweight, minimalist frame sits naturally over the ears without pinching.
- Protein leather ear cushions, breathable foam padding
- Telescopic, multi-level headband adjustment
- Lightweight over-ear design, 263 g
- Obsidian Black, Sand White and Mist Blue
72 hours from a single charge
A 600 mAh battery is rated for around 72 hours of music playback with ANC switched off, enough for a week of daily commuting without reaching for a cable.

| Battery capacity | 600 mAh |

| Playback, ANC off | Around 72 hours |
| Fast charging | 10 minutes for up to 5 hours of playback |
| Charging port | USB Type-C, 5V ⊥ 600mA |

Frequently asked questions
Does it come with a charging cable?
The box contains the headphones and a user manual only — no USB-C cable and no charger. The headphones charge over USB-C, so any USB-C cable and charger you already have will work. A cable is also needed separately for wired USB Audio listening.
How long does the battery actually last?
Xiaomi's lab testing gives around 72 hours of music playback on a single charge, with ANC turned off, at 50% volume over Bluetooth. Turning on ANC, raising the volume or making calls will reduce this. Fast charging returns up to 5 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge when the battery has run flat.
Are these earbuds or over-ear headphones?
Over-ear headphones. They weigh 263 g and use a telescopic headband with ear cushions that sit around the ear, not inside it.
Can I listen with a wired connection?
Yes, over USB-C using USB Audio, and the headphones carry Hi-Res Audio certification for wired playback. You'll need your own USB-C cable that supports data transfer, plus a source device that supports USB audio output — the cable isn't included in the box.
How good is the noise cancellation?
Xiaomi rates it at up to 42dB within a specific frequency range, tested in internal labs. You can pick one of three fixed ANC levels or use Adaptive mode, which adjusts automatically as background noise changes, and a single tap mutes it when you want to hear your surroundings.
Are calls clear in windy or noisy places?
Yes. Three microphones with AI noise reduction separate your voice from background noise, and a separate wind noise cancellation mode keeps calls clear at wind speeds up to 5 m/s — useful when walking or cycling.
Do I need a Xiaomi phone to use them?
No. They pair with any Bluetooth 5.4 device over standard profiles. A few extras need more: Fast Pair one-tap setup needs an Android device, and audio sharing between two headphones needs a supported Xiaomi HyperOS phone or tablet.
Are they waterproof or sweatproof?
No IP rating is listed in the specification, so treat them as you would any regular headphone and avoid rain, sweat and moisture.
Can I customise the sound?
Yes. There are four EQ presets — Balanced, Enhance Bass, Enhance Treble and Enhance Voice — plus a fully custom option, all adjustable in the Xiaomi Earbuds app or, on HyperOS 3 and above, directly from your phone's Bluetooth settings.
