Audio glasses | Lightweight, stylish, innovative: Xiaomi's new audio features
Xiaomi launches audiophile glasses with a 12-hour battery life
Xiaomi's recently unveiled Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 mark a significant advancement in the field of audio glasses. With an impressive battery life of up to 12 hours for music playback, an ultra-lightweight design, and advanced audio features, these glasses position themselves as a promising option in the growing smart glasses market. Unlike AR or AI glasses with displays or cameras, this model focuses on premium audio capabilities in a discreet, everyday design.

Design and construction: Lightness meets stability
The Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 represent a significant advancement over the previous model, especially in terms of physical design and wearing comfort.
Ultra-lightweight and slim design
Weighing in at just 27.6 grams, the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 are among the lightest smart glasses on the market. The key design improvement lies in the drastic reduction of the temple thickness, which now measures only 5 mm at its thinnest point. Compared to the previous model, the temple thickness at its widest point has been reduced by an impressive 30%. This weight reduction and the slimmer design result in significantly improved weight distribution, which considerably enhances wearing comfort during extended use.
Xiaomi emphasizes that the streamlined design reduces pressure on the nose, allowing for comfortable, all-day wear. This combination of lightness and slimness makes the glasses virtually indistinguishable from conventional eyewear, which can be a decisive advantage for users who value discretion.
Durability and flexibility
Despite the minimalist design, durability has not been neglected. Xiaomi calls the hinge a “piano steel ultra-flexible hinge” and claims it can withstand over 15,000 bends without any deterioration. This impressive durability is a key factor in the glasses' longevity, especially with daily use.
Furthermore, the glasses feature an improved quick-change mechanism, which is reportedly 70% more compact than its predecessor. This mechanism allows for one-handed lens changes, increasing the glasses' adaptability to different situations and personal preferences.
Diverse design options and robustness
The Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 are offered in five different frame styles, including metal aviator, hybrid browline, classic Boston, hybrid aviator, and deep-space titanium. This variety allows users to choose a model that matches their personal style.
For outdoor use, the glasses are IP54 certified, guaranteeing protection against dust and water splashes. This makes them a suitable companion for various everyday situations, from commuting in light rain to light sporting activities.
Advanced audio features
The Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 focuses primarily on its audio capabilities, offering numerous improvements over its predecessor.
Improved sound quality and noise cancellation
The glasses are equipped with a system of four microphones which, together with advanced algorithms, provide improved noise isolation. This technology significantly reduces ambient noise, especially in windy conditions, resulting in clearer voice transmission during phone calls.
The acoustic structure has also been optimized to offer a more immersive sound experience. Reports indicate that the glasses utilize open air conduction technology in combination with ultrasonic speakers and a special sound-space algorithm to produce realistic sounds with balanced bass and clear treble.
Privacy mode and intelligent audio features
An innovative feature of the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 is the privacy mode. This uses inverted sound waves to block disruptive sound reflections, thus ensuring greater discretion during conversations. This function can be activated via the accompanying MIJIA app and is particularly useful in public environments.
The glasses also support voice assistants and live audio streaming, allowing users to receive notifications and control the device without taking out their smartphone. A long press of a button allows users to record voice memos, with an indicator light illuminating during recording to protect privacy.
Multi-device connectivity
Another practical aspect is the ability to be paired with two different devices simultaneously. This allows for seamless switching between different audio sources, for example, between listening to music on a smartphone and a video conference on a laptop, without having to perform complicated re-pairing procedures.
Impressive battery life and fast charging function
The outstanding battery life is undoubtedly one of the main selling points of the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2.
Long-term use
With a full charge, the glasses offer up to 12 hours of music playback, 9 hours of talk time, and an impressive 12-day standby time. These figures represent a significant improvement over many competing products, making the glasses a reliable companion for all-day use without the need for frequent recharging.
Efficient charging technology
The glasses' fast-charging function is particularly noteworthy. Thanks to magnetic 2C charging technology, a full charge takes only one hour. Even more impressive is the fact that just 10 minutes of charging is enough to provide an additional 4 hours of use. This feature is especially useful for users with an active lifestyle who may not always have time for a full charge.
Market launch and availability
The Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 were officially announced on March 24, 2025, and are expected to be available from March 26 via Xiaomi's crowdfunding platform Youpin.
Pricing
During the crowdfunding phase, the glasses will be offered at a special price of 999 yuan (approximately USD 138-140). The regular retail price after this phase is expected to be around EUR 153. This pricing positions the glasses in the mid-price segment for smart audio wearables.
Regional availability
Initially, the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 will only be available in China. An official release in other parts of the world currently seems unlikely, although direct import might be possible in the future. This limited availability could pose a challenge for international customers.
Differences compared to other smart glasses and future developments
The Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 differ significantly from other concepts and announcements in the field of smart glasses.
Focus on audio rather than AR
Unlike previous Xiaomi concepts or planned future models, the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 has neither a display nor a camera for AR functionalities. It is essentially a headset integrated into glasses, focusing on acoustic interactions with the user.

Xiaomi's future AI glasses
Interestingly, Xiaomi has announced plans to launch its own AI glasses in the second quarter of 2025. These future glasses will likely be equipped with cutting-edge AI technology and could offer features such as intelligent voice assistance, augmented reality, and high-quality audio components. This suggests that Xiaomi is pursuing a two-pronged approach, offering different products for different user needs.
Compact audio innovation: What makes the new Mijia glasses special
The Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 represent a significant evolution in the field of smart audio wearables. With its ultra-lightweight design, impressive battery life of up to 12 hours, and advanced audio features, it offers an attractive option for users seeking discreet, everyday smart glasses.
The glasses' strengths clearly lie in their sleek, almost conventional design, robust construction, and excellent audio quality with effective noise cancellation. The ability to pair the glasses with two devices simultaneously, as well as the impressive fast-charging function, further enhance their everyday practicality.
However, potential buyers should be aware that these glasses do not offer AR or display capabilities and will initially only be available in China. For those seeking a more comprehensive smart glasses solution with AR features, it might be worth waiting for Xiaomi's announced AI glasses, which are expected to launch in the second quarter of 2025.
