Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2: Lightweight, Smart, and Stylish

Market research firms have predicted that the global smart glasses market is ready for a 2025 blast and global shipments will be 12.8 million units. The Chinese market alone is predicted to exceed 2.75 million units, a 107% year-on-year increase. The rapid expansion reflects the huge potential of the smart glasses market and the strong demand from consumers for these high-tech products. However, most of the smart glasses currently on sale in the market suffer from the same issues of being chunky in design, heavy, and possessing poor battery life, making them difficult to use in daily life. In that context, the newly launched Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 are different.

Before we dive deeper

Aside from their smart features, the lightest version of the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 weighs in at only 27.6 grams, with temples that are just 5mm thick. That’s a 26% decrease in thickness at the thinnest part and 30% at the thickest part compared to the previous generation.

Compared to the earlier editions, the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 offer a much smaller size, more stylish appearance, and greater comfort and convenience for everyday wear.

Apart from improvements in comfort and lightweight design, the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2, a part of the Mijia ecosystem, also bring large-scale upgrades in battery life, ecosystem interaction, and functionality.

In terms of battery life, the glasses come with a bespoke steel-shell battery, which decreases battery size by 40%, extending the glasses’ battery life significantly. With power-balancing technology between the temples, the glasses ensure stable, all-day usage.

On the side of intelligent interaction, the users are able to wake up the intelligent assistant via a touch bar on the temple or voice command. “Super Xiao Ai” is always within reach at any time, with a more integrated and convenient interactive experience.

New horisons

The Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 are highly embedded in Xiaomi’s smart ecosystem. Besides voice-linking with Xiao Ai on a smartphone, they also offer cross-device control. For instance, you can control a Xiaomi Auto SU7 remotely with a mere voice command, or set smart home devices through voice control, to create a truly smart space where “what you see is what you control.”

From the functional aspect, the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 now support an easy-to-use recording function. Users can record meetings, calls, and other audio or video scenes by a long press of the temple.

The glasses also support a smart light reminder function, allowing users to maintain social etiquette while recording information at their convenience, and ensuring functionality and privacy protection.

Unboxing Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 Hybrid Pilot Edition

Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2’s packaging box is also minimalist in approach, featuring a gray and white color combination along with a bright image of the glasses on the front, which gives it a clean and professional appearance.

We selected the Hybrid Aviator shape that features an ageless aviator shape. The fashion features large, round or slightly oval-shaped lenses, and a top-heavy and bottom-skinny frame that gives a retro but stylish look.

Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 are shipped in a high-quality-looking black leather case. The cover of the box includes the Mijia logo, offering an injection of the brand’s own personality. Magnets between the cover and the box secure the glasses locked in position while also making the case easy to open and shut.

What else

One of the main highlights is the light weight of the glasses. The Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 are the first to break the 30-gram barrier, and we have the Deep Space Titanium version weighing in at 27.6 grams in our hands. The hybrid version tips the scale at 31.1 grams. Such a light weight configuration is optimal for long wear usage, whether usage is done in the open environment, on journeys, or long-term watching of videos as it reduces discomfort as well as general user experience substantially.

The glass frames feature a touch bar along the outer body, allowing actions like sliding, double tap, and long pressing. It incorporates a wear detect function that self-adjusts if used in the listening of music or video watch.

In addition, Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 has a second-generation quick-release technology. It provides an effortless way to swap frames by simply pushing the hinge on the front of the temple and pulling it out. This easy and fast disassembly allows individuals to customize glasses with other frames according to personal preferences.

For voice communication, there is a microphone at the top of the front side of the temple. With a 4Mic golden design, it includes dual-microphone noise reduction and intelligent algorithms and, therefore, can effectively reject wind noise up to 4.5 m/s. It permits voice communication without obstruction, even when windy.

The glasses also have a sound hole at the bottom of the temples, from which sound is released during music or video watching. At the bottom of the temples, magnetic charging terminals are installed for convenient charging.

You can find the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 and a dual-head charging cable inside the package, so it is convenient to keep the glasses charged and ready for use.

Performance and Battery Life of Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2: Enhanced Features and Practical Recording

Audio glasses, in the case of this product, would normally make the consumer concerned about leakage of sound and the quality of the audio. Under practical tests, the Mijia Smart Glasses 2 performed satisfactorily under standard office conditions with noise ranging from 45-55 decibels. By keeping the volume on the phone at 15-30%, one could hear sound from the glasses clearly without any visible sound leakage even when seated close to colleagues. They are thus ideal for listening to music while working without inconveniencing the people around you.

The Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 are equipped with the latest Bluetooth 5.4 transmission protocol, delivering an almost imperceptible low-latency experience. Whether you’re watching high-definition videos or engaging in fast-paced mobile games, the glasses provide smooth, lag-free audio.

Gesture Control and Customization

The glasses feature intuitive gesture control on the temples, where users can perform actions like sliding, tapping, and long pressing. The user interface to handle these gestures is simple, similar to wireless headphones, with little learning for new users. Control logic can also be customized based on individual preferences for that added level of convenience.

Revolutionary Recording Feature

One of the most notable features of the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 is its recording function. Users can immediately record with a long press on the temple without taking out their phones, which is a handy and efficient way to record important audio moments. The feature serves all types of recording scenarios, including on-site recording, online conferences, voice calls, and multimedia recording.

For professionals, this function helps record meeting details, and for students, it allows recording lectures or class notes. For whatever inspiration strikes or important discussions, the glasses can record audio instantly, enabling “anytime, anywhere” voice recording. The glasses support up to 2 hours of continuous recordings, which is enough storage for most uses.

Super XiaoAi Assistant Integration

As a member of the Mijia ecosystem, the Smart Audio Glasses 2 also support integration with the Super XiaoAi voice assistant without any hassle. Users can easily wake up Super XiaoAi on their phones just by tapping the temple and voice-activate their commands. Users can set reminders or add events to the calendar, or even operate other smart devices with ease.

Moreover, the glasses mute voice playback to maintain privacy and stop others from overhearing commands or feedback. Users may also wake up XiaoAi by issuing voice commands to the glasses themselves, such as instructing it to “record 40 yuan lunch expenses,” and the system would automatically record the details into the memo program. The hands-free facility significantly enhances efficiency in personal life and work.

Battery Life Performance

In battery tests, the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 worked well. In a quiet office setting, playing music for one hour continuously, the glasses consumed only 6% of their battery. From this extrapolation, the glasses last up to 16.5 hours of continuous use on a single charge and suit all-day wear without requiring constant recharging.

This battery, which lasts long, and light comfort and strong functionality, render the Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 not only a stylish accessory but also a handy device for daily use.

Conclusion

Mijia Smart Audio Glasses 2 stand out for prioritizing key areas of concern for the smart glasses industry, particularly in their lightness. The Deep Space Titanium version weighs a tiny 27.6g, falling below the 30g marker, and their ergonomic build ensures comfort over extended periods.

Sound quality is superb, with lush audio at 30% volume, and the air conduction system keeps ear pressure at bay. You can easily use the touch bar on the temples to adjust volume and tracks, and the built-in recording feature in the glasses suits impromptu note-taking.

Smooth integration with the Mijia ecosystem and Super Xiao Ai permits voice control over smart home devices, which adds convenience. Besides offering comfort and quality sound, the glasses can also serve as a hub to control smart homes, making it a convenient, stylish addition to everyday life.
