Xiaomi has entered the growing smart glasses market with its Mijia Smart Audio Glasses, a product that focuses more on everyday usability and premium design than cutting-edge smart features.
While these glasses may not rival camera-equipped rivals, they deliver a solid open-ear audio experience combined with the familiarity of traditional eyewear.
The standout feature of the Xiaomi Mijia Smart Audio Glasses is their built-in speakers, neatly integrated into the temples. This creates an open-ear alternative to wireless earbuds, allowing users to stay aware of their surroundings. Xiaomi has also included quad microphones, enabling hands-free calling, call recording, and ambient audio recording, which adds practical value for daily use.
The Titanium version, priced at €199, is the lightest option in the lineup, weighing just over 34 grams including lenses. Xiaomi also offers browline and pilot styles, with the pilot variant providing UV400 protection. The standard lenses block 25% of blue light, making the glasses suitable for extended screen time. Prescription lenses can be fitted as well, enhancing their appeal to regular glasses wearers.
Comfort is a strong point, thanks to the slim 5mm plastic temples and balanced weight distribution. The glasses are IP54-rated, meaning they can handle dust and light rain. Large touch sensors on the temples make gesture controls easy and reliable, even during long wear sessions.
Xiaomi includes a thoughtful set of accessories, such as a faux leather pouch, cleaning cloth, and a unique magnetic charger that connects to both temples and converts into a USB-C plug. Battery life is rated at up to 13 hours of audio playback, with a full recharge taking around one hour.
Sound quality is adequate rather than impressive, making the glasses best suited for calls, podcasts, and casual listening. Bluetooth 5.4 ensures stable connectivity and supports dual-device pairing. Additional features include wear detection, spoken notifications, and a basic companion app for managing gestures and recordings.
Overall, the Xiaomi Mijia Smart Audio Glasses offer a polished, practical two-in-one solution. While future models may add a camera or smarter features, this first step shows Xiaomi’s clear intent in the competitive smart glasses space.
