Smartphones with a USB-C connector can not be called a trend - the novelty was so popular with users that now manufacturers, producing devices with conventional micro-USB, are almost compared to dinosaurs. Many also like to remove the traditional 3.5 mm jack, leaving the owners one-on-one with adapters or ... headphones that can connect to the smartphone via USB Type-C. Many of these solutions can not be called cheap, but Xiaomi did not touch it: its headphones with Type-C and active noise cancellation cost slightly more than 2500 rubles.
Needless to say, we immediately got one such copy in the editorial office and are ready to share our impressions. But first about the characteristics - they deserve close attention.

Xiaomi ANC Type-C have a two-driver design, almost like the first Xiaomi Hybrid. One radiator is dynamic, responsible for low frequencies, the second is of reinforcing type, which takes on the middle and high frequencies. To meet such a budget headphone was very unexpected.

The box is traditionally modest, but stylish (made in the spirit of Apple). The most important thing is the bundling, and here Xiaomi tried. In the box, four pairs of conventional ear cups, three pairs were put in order to make them an intracannel, a carrying bag and a special "cradle" into which headphones and a reproduction control panel are wrapped.
Design
The headphones are made in stylish silver color (there is a version in black), the case is made of chrome-plated metal. On the outside there is a grid that covers MEMS microphones. Looks stylish, effective and very expensive, at least thousands of 6-7 rubles.
Sound headphones headphones neatly covered with a mesh, and although they have a slightly unusual shape, ear cups fit them any. To fit the headphones was even more convenient, it is better to use additional attachments from the kit.
The cable partially has a fabric braid, partially silicone, it does not have a microphone effect, though it gets tangled often, besides, on the silicone segment, the marks of folds are often visible.
The playback control panel is completely redesigned - now the three large buttons do not touch each other, so it's very easy to use the cable blindly. On one side there is an active noise reduction mode switch and a blue LED.
It looks very neat, although there are questions to the silicone coating on the cable - more precisely, to its durability. How do headphones cope with their main task - noise reduction?
Noise reduction and sound
As stated in the specifications, external noise with this function can be suppressed by more than 25 dB. To do this, microphones "listen" to sounds in the range of 50-2000 Hz and remove all unnecessary so that you are left alone with music. In fact, everything works like this: went into the subway, turned on active noise reduction - and minimized all extraneous sounds. And on the street or at home they are completely lost, as if wearing ear plugs with the ability to reproduce the sound. Works no worse than in the same JBL Reflect Aware, which cost twice as much.
As for the sound characteristics, everything is not so unambiguous here. Initially, it may seem that the sound is a bit rude, but if you work a little with the equalizer, everything falls into place. Headphones work with almost any genre and will appeal to most, with the taste and audiophiles.
We tested the ANC Type-C for compatibility not only with Xiaomi smartphones, but also with LG G6, Samsung Galaxy S8 and Google Pixel. Depending on the smartphone, headphones sound better / worse, but generally leave a positive impression.
Where can I buy
Although the Xiaomi ANC Type-C is also sold in Russia, it is most profitable to buy them in Chinese online stores - for example, , where now there is also an action for the black version (you can buy it for only 2600 rubles). By the way, if you decide to buy something in GearBest, we advise you to take a closer look at the service Buykers.com, with which you can get an additional discount.
This is one of the largest platforms with discount offers, with which not only foreign, but also Russian shops cooperate. There are a lot of coupons available on the buykers.com platform - there are clothes, equipment, cosmetics shops and not only.
Xiaomi ANC Type-C is definitely worth buying smartphone owners with USB Type-C. To miss the opportunity to rid yourself of adapters and a poor-quality sound for such a price is simply impossible.
