- Xiaomi has announced the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro Wi-Fi in Barcelona.
- These are the first commercially available earbuds with Qualcomm’s XPAN tech.
- The buds can connect to your device via Wi-Fi for improved range and speed.
Qualcomm promised earlier this year that the first audio products with its XPAN Wi-Fi tech were coming “very very soon.” Well, the waiting is over as Xiaomi has announced the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro Wi-Fi variant, the first pair of earbuds with XPAN technology.
These earbuds use Wi-Fi to transmit audio from your smart device instead of Bluetooth. However, the tech can also seamlessly switch between the two standards as needed.
