Xiaomi's Redmi Headphones Neo now more widely available in Europe

Several weeks ago, Xiaomi began a global rollout of its Redmi Headphones Neo. Now, they've finally reached Europe and the UK and are available in three colors for £49.99 or €59,99 (France, Germany, Italy, Spain; this list is not exhaustive). The Redmi Headphones Neo are basically classic over-ear headphones with a simple design and a wide range of features, though not without limitations. According to Xiaomi, the headphones support lossless audio transmission, but only in wired mode. LDAC is not supported; wireless audio playback is possible via Bluetooth 5.4.möglich.
The headphones come with a 600 mAh battery, which is charged via USB-C. Xiaomi claims a battery life of up to 72 hours, which is only possible if active noise cancellation (ANC) is disabled. This figure also applies when using the AAC codec and at 50% volume.
Xiaomi further claims that the adaptive ANC can reduce noise by up to 42 dB. Multiple microphones are used for this and also for suppressing background noise during phone calls. The headphones feature 40-millimeter drivers, and the audio can be further adjusted using an equalizer. Unsurprisingly, Xiaomi touts the headphones' high level of comfort, and the headband is adjustable.
