Redmi Headphones Neo surfaces in early listings with 72-hour battery and 42 dB ANC, hinting at Xiaomi’s first over-ear push

Xiaomi appears to be preparing its first Redmi-branded over-ear headphones, after the Redmi Buds line helped it build momentum in the budget wireless audio market.

Early retail listings have revealed a product called Redmi Headphones Neo ahead of any official announcement.

The model has surfaced on e-commerce and electronics listings with detailed specifications, a sign that launch preparations may already be underway. Such pages often go live shortly before regional availability, though pricing and dates can still change.

What the early specs reveal?

According to the listings, the Redmi Headphones Neo uses 40 mm titanium-coated drivers with a claimed 20 Hz to 40 kHz frequency response. Active noise cancellation is rated at up to 42 dB, positioning it as an affordable ANC-focused option.

Connectivity is listed as Bluetooth 5.4, and the headphones also appear to support USB-C for wired listening aimed at reduced latency. If accurate, that combination would broaden compatibility across phones, tablets, and PCs without relying solely on wireless.

Battery, colors and expected price

Battery life is one of the headline figures: up to 72 hours with ANC turned off, with a reported 500 mAh capacity. Real-world endurance typically varies by volume and codec use, but the claim signals a strong value play.

Early pricing varies by seller and market, with one prominent listing placing it around PHP 3,299 after discounts, roughly $55. Another lower figure appears tied to bulk purchasing, suggesting the consumer street price may land higher than wholesale listings imply.

Color options mentioned include Obsidian Black and Sand White at launch, with Mist Blue referenced as a later addition. Xiaomi has not confirmed release timing, but the depth of the listings suggests the Redmi Headphones Neo could be close to a formal debut.
