The Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo Pro (MPN BHR080FGL) combines open-ear comfort with hi-res wireless codecs and long battery life, ideal for users who want ambient awareness while listening and at the same time sound quality for music and calls.
Main technical specifications (Quick specs)
- The type: open-ear/true wireless with ear-hook design.
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.4, AAC and LDAC (Hi-Res wireless) support.
- Autonomy: up to 8.5 hours per charge, up to 45 hours total with the case (retail claims).
- Batteries/charging: ~700 mAh case, fast charging (10 minutes → about 2 hours of playback) via USB-C.
- Drivers & sound: multi-driver configuration (main dynamic driver 18×13 mm + balanced armatures + piezo element), EQ presets, virtual surround/spatial audio with app support.

- Weight: ~9.7 g per earpiece, case ~53 g (lightweight overall).
Year of release and availability
The product appears in international stores and catalogues in 2025 and remains available in European e-shops in 2025-2026.
Dimensions & weight
Each earpiece weighs approximately 9.7 g and the charger/case ≈ 53 g - a total package small and portable for everyday use and travel.
Integrating IoT, AI video processing
These are audio headsets that incorporate app-driven features (equalizer, spatial audio, head-tracking) and connect to the manufacturer's ecosystem for firmware updates and presets. They don't perform video processing or heavy on-device AI tasks - the «smart» functionality is limited to audio processing, spatial rendering and sensor-driven features via app.
NFC, SIM, networks, SAR
They do not support SIM/Cellular. NFC is not a feature of these headsets. SAR values are mainly related to handheld/phone devices; for wearables of this type RF emissions are very low - compliance details are listed in the official product compliance docs.
Construction materials - quality & durability
The housing uses ABS/engineering plastics with metal/plastic reinforcements at the ear-hook mounting points. The case features soft-touch padding on some SKUs and the overall finish is geared towards a premium feel, with IP54 moisture/dust resistance.
What is included in the packaging for the Greek market - what is not included and why
Standard content: headset, charging case, USB-C cable, instructions and warranty. In many markets not includes the wall-mounted power adapter, a practice adopted by manufacturers and retailers to reduce waste and transport volume, aligned with green initiatives and common practices in product packaging. Our site offers 18W adapter packs as an add-on for businesses buying VAT-free.
Instructions for use - step-by-step
- Unpack and fully charge the case before first use.
- Open the case to activate pairing mode and connect to your mobile/tablet via Bluetooth 5.4.
- Install the official app for EQ, spatial audio and firmware updates.
- Always replace the headphones in the case after use for charging and protection.
- Clean with a dry cloth, avoid exposure to strong humidity despite IP54 resistance.
Charger proposal (watts) and recommended peripherals
- Recommended charger: 18W USB-C PD adapter for safe and fast charging of the case - 18W is sufficient for faster and safer topping, while 30W+ offers no real benefit for the case.
- Recommended peripherals: power bank USB-C (18-30W), travel pouch, tempered protector for case, spare cables and official spare ear-hooks/accessories.
Energy consumption & class
Wearables are not subject to an EU energy label like household appliances. The practical energy «class» is represented by operating time: real-world times vary with codec (LDAC reduces autonomy), volume and GNSS/microphone use, with manufacturer claims up to 45 hours with case.
Instructions for correct charging
Use a quality adapter, avoid charging at high temperatures, do not leave the case discharged for a long time. For battery longevity, prefer 20-80% charging cycles where practical.
Warranty, DOA, returns procedure - Consumers & Professionals
- EU legal guarantee: 24 months minimum for consumers (EU directive).
- Manufacturer/distributor warranty: usually 12-24 months depending on sales channel - check the certified warranty card inside the package.
- DOA: reported directly to the seller within their policy (usually 14-30 days) with proof of purchase - our site offers B2B RMA support and custom SLAs for business orders.
- Consumer returns: 14-day cooling-off period for remote purchases in the EU, usually additional policies from the retailer (e.g. 30-day returns).
- Professionals: B2B purchases are subject to commercial terms; consumer protections do not fully apply; explicit RMA & warranty clause on invoice recommended without VAT.
Legal guarantee rating
Legal minimum consumer guarantee in the EU: 24 months.
Frequency of defects in the series / first 2 months
International reports show a low rate of massive hardware defects; the issues reported within the first 1-2 months mainly concern fit/ergonomics (movement when bending), codec/firmware compatibility or individual DOA cases, all common for new releases and resolved via firmware updates or RMA.
Top 10 positive customer reviews (in summary)
- Rich, clear sound with LDAC support and multi-driver setup.
- Excellent brightness/ergonomics for open-ear dresses - all day comfort.
- Long autonomy with the case (up to 45 hours according to retailers).
- Fast charging: 10 minutes → 2 hours of operation (handy for travelling).
- Stable Bluetooth 5.4 connection and short latency with supported devices.
- IP54 for protection against dust/water spray - right for everyday use.
- App-driven EQ and spatial audio presets enhance the listening experience.
- Lightweight package, ease of transport and premium finish.
- Good microphone performance for calls in moderate ambient conditions.
- Value-for-money compared to other open-ear TWS in the segment.
10 common negative comments (in summary)
- Open-ear design does not offer full passive noise cancellation - not for discerning bass lovers.
- Some reports of loose fit when bending over or making vigorous movements.
- LDAC streaming reduces the autonomy significantly compared to AAC/SBC.
- Lower maximum volume compared to closed-type buds was reported in reviews.
- Firmware updates necessary for codec/behavior stability on some devices.
- App dependent for all spatial/audio features - iOS/Android parity limitations.
- Limited sound insulation in strong winds (open-ear leakage).
- Price of regional spare parts relatively high at official distributors.
- Small in-field deviations from the final retail spec in individual SKUs.
- Not suitable for swimmers or immersion (IP54 ≠ full waterproof).
Tests & analyses from international sites
Reviewers acknowledge the innovative multi-driver architecture and LDAC support, but identify that the practical experience can be affected by fit and maximum volume; TechRadar noted that the bespoke driver solution improves leakage but the overall sonic result doesn't always match the impressive specs list - fit and low maximum volume issues limit some positive impressions.
Advantages compared to the previous model
Compared to previous OpenWear models, the BHR080FGL incorporates: LDAC Hi-Res support, multi-plane drivers (deeper timbre), a larger battery case for increased autonomy, IP54 certification and improved firmware/APP integration for spatial audio presets - all designed to improve user experience and connection stability.
