Xiaomi is an amazing company in every sense. It produces a variety of devices, including cameras, smart phones, even air humidifiers. And it would be strange if it bypassed such an attractive segment as headphones: successfully launching the first Pistons model on the market, Xiaomi continues to evolve as IEM with the Hybrid headphones, where it unexpectedly combined reinforcing and dynamic radiators.
Why do we need this "hybrid"? The answer is simple - if the dynamic radiators play better low frequencies, then the reinforcing bars do well with medium and high frequencies and provide the detail of the sound. Therefore, Xiaomi took the Piston model, changed its design and supplemented the reinforcing radiator. The headphones were Hybrid.
It is noteworthy that, despite the complexity of the design, Xiaomi has managed to maintain a low price, although usually the cost of hybrid headphones is rarely below $ 100.

Equipment
Hybrid ships in a white not too noticeable box that hides the headphones themselves, as well as three pairs of interchangeable ear cups of different sizes. The package is very simple, but the price is the same - however, about this a little later.
Design
The headphone case has a cylindrical shape and is made mainly of metal. The dynamic radiator is located in the front part of the housing, then the sound ducts come out at an angle. Hybrid, as well as it is necessary good intra-channel ear-phones, comfortably sit in ears and do not drop out, the truth the back part slightly sticks out.
The cable is protected from kinks by plastic pads, which are located where the cable exits the headphones, the lower part of it is made with cloth insulation. It also houses a minimalistic three-button headset - the two extreme ones are responsible for volume control, the central one controls playback. With the iPhone and iPad, only the latest, full functionality is available to owners of Xiaomi smartphones.
Sound
For the integrity of the picture, the headphones should be warmed up, besides many of their owners claim that after warming up noticeably improved sound. Hybrid were tapped with the help of Cowon Plenue S, and with the iPhone 6, and in both cases proved to be excellent. The only thing - the bass, perhaps, is too dominant, the high frequencies are slightly muffled, but there is not the slightest hint of harshness. The headphones work out the majority of modern musical genres, but really reveal themselves with directions like hip-hop.
The average price of Hybrid is about 1300 rubles - for such money it's very good headphones. Best of all, of course, they fit the smartphones Xiaomi (which is quite logical), sales of which not so long ago officially began in Russia, so you can buy them in many retail networks.
