The company is likely to launch the Redmi AirDots S TWS earphones
It is rumoured to be priced under Rs 1,000
Xiaomi has revealed that it is going to announce a new audio product on May 26 under its Redmi sub-brand. While the details have been kept under wraps, a teaser image posted by the company hints at the launch of the Redmi AirDots S true wireless earphones in India.
A tweet from Xiaomi India MD, Manu Kumar Jain revealed the launch date of a new category under the Redmi brand. Apart from the tweet, an event page has gone live on the Xiaomi India website teasing a bunch of features of the upcoming audio product. This includes wireless Bluetooth connectivity, long battery life, water and sweat resistance, reduced latency and touch controls. All these features are indicative of the Redmi AirDots S TWS earbuds and Xiaomi will likely release these in India as the new affordable true wireless audio product.
Notably, Xiaomi recently announced its first TWS earphones in India– the Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 priced at Rs 4,499. The Redmi AirDots S TWS could be much more affordable as such, given its price in China which is CNY 99.9 which translates to around Rs 1,000 by direct conversion.
