The Chinese giant Xiaomi keeps surprising the wider public with its new products. While some manufacturers are rushing ahead in releasing and optimizing their TWS (True Wireless) earbuds, Xiaomi is meanwhile coming with a pair of wired headphones with a 3.5 mm jack.
Xiaomi Capsule Headphones and Xiaomi Capsule Headphones Pro are new wired headphones from the portfolio of the popular Chinese brand, offering a relatively good price-to-features ratio. Let’s take a closer look.
Sale price on Aliexpress
Well-known marketplace AliExpress offers Xiaomi Capsule Headphones headphones in both the base and Pro versions. The headphones are available for pre-order from a Chinese warehouse.
The advantage, however, is the presence of duty-free AliExpress Saver Shipping, so you won’t pay any customs fees. Shipping is even completely free.
Aliexpress Standard Shipping is available for this product. This is the most reliable shipping method and, in most cases, it’s delivered by a courier company. Delivery time is usually 10-20 days.
When ordering from the Chinese warehouse, AliExpress will add the customs duty in your cart—approximately 3,70 € per order. When you receive the package, you won’t pay anything extra.

Similar at best by name
Although this new pair of headphones comes from the same lineup, the base and Pro models have quite significant differences. For starters, we can mention some of the shared features: the same design, a 1,25-meter cable, or a microphone built into the control unit.
Now, the different features. The Pro version, unlike the base one, offers up to two drivers in the package, while the base version has only one. The Pro version also comes with a braided cable for a longer service life, and it has a gold-plated connector as well.

In other words, taking into account the minimal price difference, the much better buy is the Xiaomi Capsule Headphones Pro. With the Pro version, many will certainly appreciate the ability to add or reduce volume directly on the headphone body via physical buttons.

You might be wondering what the point is of getting old-school wired headphones instead of practical, modern wireless ones. Besides the fact that someone might prefer wired headphones for convenience (you can’t lose one earbud), Xiaomi argues for a much lower latency when watching movies or playing games compared to cheaper TWS earbuds.
