Xiaomi releases new luxury earbuds with 9 hours battery life and Apple Find My support

Xiaomi has launched numerous devices today, including a new flagship phone featuring Leica-tuned cameras. Additionally, the company refreshed its Smart Band series with the Smart Band 10 Pro. Also, it has dipped its toes into the world of open earbuds.
As the photos throughout show, Xiaomi's new earbuds simply clip onto one's ear lobes, just like the LinkBuds Clip before it (curr. $228 on Amazon). Additionally, the earbuds are IP57 certified with a 120 mAh combined battery capacity rated for up to 9 hours of usage between charges. Xiaomi claims that the included charging case should provide up to 28 hours of additional battery life too, which equates to over 3x full charges.
The Xiaomi Clip also boasts Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, but only AAC, SBC and LHDC 5.0 codec support. Still, the earbuds offer multipoint connectivity, are Hi-Res Audio certified, and contain 11 mm dynamic drivers with a 20 Hz-48 kHz frequency response. Moreover, Xiaomi has integrated gesture controls and Apple Find My support.
The Xiaomi Clip retails for CNY 849 (~$125) in China with a choice of four colour options. An introductory offer has reduced the earbuds' price to CNY 799 (~$117) though. There is no word yet on international availability.
