Mivi has launched its latest truly wireless stereo (TWS) earphones in India, the Mivi AI Buds, equipped with a built-in, voice-based artificial intelligence (AI) assistant. The new in-ear earphones are designed to offer hands-free interaction through the AI system, which the company claims is context-aware and features a memory function.
Price and Availability
The Mivi AI Buds are priced at Rs. 6,999, though they are currently listed on the official Mivi India website for Rs. 5,999. They are available in four colour options — Black, Bronze, Champagne, and Silver. Buyers can purchase them via Flipkart or the official Mivi India website.
Features and Specifications
The Mivi AI Buds feature a unibody metallic design with an hourglass-inspired stem and a glossy finish. The design closely resembles that of the Mivi SuperPods Concerto launched earlier this year. Each earbud houses a 13mm driver, a quad microphone setup, and weighs 52g including the charging case.
These earphones support Bluetooth 5.4 and the LDAC codec, and also come with active noise cancellation, though Mivi has not disclosed its exact specifications. Users can expect a total of up to 40 hours of playtime, including the case, which takes about an hour to fully charge. Other notable features include a 3D soundstage, spatial audio support, an IPX4 water resistance rating, dual connectivity, and a gaming mode for lower latency.
Mivi AI Assistant
The standout feature of the Mivi AI Buds is the Mivi AI assistant, accessible directly from the earbuds when connected to the companion app. It can also be used in a text-based mode through the app. The assistant responds to the wake phrase “Hi Mivi” and is designed to function without requiring a screen.
Mivi has included five pre-loaded AI avatars that offer specialized assistance:
-
Chef: Provides step-by-step recipes.
-
Guru: Breaks down complex topics and explains them clearly.
-
Interviewer: Helps users prepare for interviews.
-
News Reporter: Delivers personalized news updates.
-
Wellness Coach: Listens to users and offers emotional support without judgment.
These avatars can be accessed simultaneously, making the earbuds a versatile companion for various needs.
With the AI assistant, improved audio features, and a sleek design, the Mivi AI Buds aim to deliver both convenience and innovation in the competitive TWS earphone segment.
