The Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset are shaped after the wristbands, with the housings that share the same plastic bodywith an aluminium plate on top of it.

To help the headphones stay in place, there is a semi-rigid earhookon each earpiece. Contrary to what I believed and a bit counter-intuitively, however, I found out the most comfortable position requires a slight rotation so that the earphones are slightly tilted forward (and the hook’s top is not against your ear). This is due to the earhook pressing against the pinna, which is greatly diminished with a slight rotation. This may not be true for everyone as ears’ shape and size are different across each individual. It’s takes a little bit time to adjust the position on our ear.

I used it for several workout. When I used it for cycling, I found it nothing problem with the position. But when I used it for running, the earhook keep fall it makes not comfortable to wear. Maybe because of the sweat and swaying body movement.

Xiaomi provided the Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset with IPX4 certification, meaning it will resist sweating or light rain. So you don’t have to be afraid to used for workout.

What I love about this headset is the sound quality. The sound is quite good. It gives a balance treble, mid and bass. When the earhook completely attached, it gives a good isolation from the outside so you can listen the music with full quality. I do not recommend these headphones if you’re looking for strong bass. If you listen to pop, rock and other mid-centric genres, though, the Xiaomi Mi Sports Bluetooth Headset may be a valid option.

The battery is quite good. When I used after charging, it gives 5–6 hours long music playback. It is nice for daily commute or workout. Although you may hope for more playing time considering the size of the housings.

The Volume control is in the right part of the earhook.

What is disappointing is that the voice informs user about the headphone status is on Chinese. So you have to guess it is on, off or paired mode.

Overall. After used it for a month, the headset is quite recommeded for daily commute and light workout.

Score: 7/10
