Xiaomi has launched its latest midrange earbuds, the Xiaomi Buds 4. It’s a toned-down version of the more premium Buds 4 Pro, but it still offers plenty of great features for the price. Here, we will go over the specifications, features, availability, and expected price of the Xiaomi Buds 4 in Nepal.

Xiaomi Buds 4 Overview:

More importantly, there’s still support for Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). However, there’s no mention of the 48dB exclusion rating of their Pro siblings. It is also IP54 dust and water-resistant, so sweat or splashes of water will not harm the buds. On the other hand, the case has a “space capsule” design. It is IPX4 rated against water resistance.

Audio

The Xiaomi Buds 4 feature an 11mm graphene-dual magnetic dynamic driver for audio. It is aided by dynamic adaptive EQ that promises a stable and consistent sound quality. The Buds 4 are among the first Xiaomi earbuds to support the LHDC 5.0 codec. According to Xiaomi, this codec can produce CD-quality sound at sampling rates of up to 192kHz.
