Xiaomi Mijia Smart Audio Glasses: 13-Hour Battery Meets Titanium Style

Sunday, 18 January 2026 at 04:20

Xiaomi just dropped the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses in Europe, and they’re basically trying to kill the "plugged-in" feeling of traditional earbuds. Instead of stuffing silicone into your ear, these use SLS0820 ultrasonic speakers tucked into the temples. It’s an open-ear setup, meaning you get your music while still hearing the car that’s about to hit you.

Key points

Uses SLS0820 ultrasonic speakers for open-ear audio without ear canal pressure.
Available in Titanium (27.6g), Browline, and Pilot-Style frames with IP54 rating.
13 hours of battery life with a 10-minute fast-charge (4 hours of use).
Privacy mode uses inverted sound waves to minimize audio leakage to others.
Supports dual-device Bluetooth connectivity and touch-sensitive temple controls.

The "Anti-Noise" Privacy Trick

Open-ear audio usually means everyone on the bus hears your Spotify playlist. Xiaomi claims to have fixed this with a dual sound leakage protection system. It uses inverted sound waves to cancel out audio "spill."

The Reality: In a noisy office, it’s great. In a dead-silent room? People next to you will still hear a faint "buzz" if you’re cranking the volume above 50%. It’s more of a "polite" feature than a total privacy shield.

Built Like Real Glasses, Not Gadgets

The engineering here is surprisingly tight. The Titanium version is the one to watch, weighing only 27.6g. That’s basically the same as a normal pair of luxury frames.

13 Hours of Juice

Battery life is where most smart glasses fail, but these hold up for 13 hours of playback. If you’re in a rush, a 10-minute charge gives you 4 hours of listening. The only annoying part? The proprietary magnetic cable. Lose that, and you’ve just got a very expensive pair of regular glasses until the replacement arrives.
