Review on Xiaomi Mi Air 2 SE AirDots: True Wireless Stereo Bluetooth Headset with Touch Control (White) by Candra ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cool product, happy with the purchase, maybe I'll buy it again.

I feel obligated to state right away that I took them to listen to music while they were training, so that going to work would not be dull. Within this price range, the sound is not terrible; however, the sound insulation is only average, and everything can be heard through the music in the metro. I am not a sophisticated music lover; this is simply the opinion of a layman. They fit snugly in the ear canals, do not irritate the skin, and remain in place even when the wearer is running. But because the "legs" are so large, the straps from the mask always cling to them, and this causes the headphones to fall off, which is extremely frustrating. There is an awkward placement of the touch button on the right earpiece. When I am trying to straighten my hair, I always manage to touch the phone by accident and start voice dialing, which causes it to start ringing someone. Because I was unable to locate the location where the function of this button could be altered, I was forced to deactivate the voice dialing feature; however, it continues to present some challenges. And in addition, it has a very peculiar charge indicator: almost all of the time, it will show that the battery is fully charged, and then all of a sudden, it will turn off at the worst possible time. And vice versa, once it has been disconnected from the charging source, it may display a depleted battery. The consistent difficulties with connection are by far the most significant issue. It's possible that it will only work with an iPhone, but if you use a Xiaomi phone, you shouldn't have any problems. But for the first couple of months, connecting my headphones was a breeze. After that, however, the daily chaos began: the headphones can connect to the phone even when it is in a case, but as soon as you remove them, the phone IMMEDIATELY stops seeing them and then refuses to connect. When this happens, you have to "reset" the headphones, sometimes more than once, and the left earpiece and then the right earpiece are constantly falling off. In the end, I could not take it any longer and decided to purchase some AirPods. They have an instant connection and provide a convenient indicator of the charge, but the noise isolation is significantly lower.

Pros
  • Excellent sound quality, low weight, long battery life, and excellent fit in the ear canals
Cons
  • Constant issues with the connection, no obvious indication that the battery is charged, and awkward touch controls
