The Xiaomi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2 (sold by Xiaomi as the Mi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2, model TWSEJ061LS) are a plain, light pair of earbuds for calls, podcasts and everyday music. Each earbud weighs about 4.1 g and carries a 7.2 mm driver, Bluetooth 5.0 handles the connection, and the pocket-sized case tops them up on the go. Xiaomi rates them at about 4 hours of music per charge and about 12 hours in total with the case, measured streaming songs at 50% volume. There is no noise cancellation and no app; you take them out of the case, they connect, and you listen.

Battery life, with Xiaomi’s test conditions
Each earbud of the Xiaomi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2 holds a 43 mAh battery and the case holds 300 mAh. Xiaomi says the earbuds play for about 4 hours from a full charge, and that the total rises to about 12 hours when you count the recharges from the case. Both numbers come from Xiaomi’s own test: online songs played continuously at 50% volume until the earbuds switch off, and Xiaomi itself calls them reference figures. Louder listening or long calls will give less. Charging takes about 1.5 hours for the earbuds and about 2 hours for the empty case, so the habit that works best is dropping the case on the charger every couple of days.
Sound: 7.2 mm drivers tuned for mids and bass
Inside each earbud of the Xiaomi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2 is a 7.2 mm dynamic driver that Xiaomi has tuned for fuller mid and low frequencies, which in the Xiaomi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2 suits pop, Arabic music, podcasts and video. Connection is over Bluetooth 5.0 with the A2DP and AVRCP profiles for music and HFP and HSP for calls. Xiaomi does not list support for higher-quality codecs such as AAC or LDAC, so expect clean everyday sound rather than audiophile detail. Xiaomi uses DSP processing to filter some ambient noise from the sound and from your voice on calls, but this is not active noise cancellation.
Calls, controls and single-earbud use
Each side of the Xiaomi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2 has a physical button. One press plays or pauses music and answers or ends a call; holding it for about one second rejects an incoming call; a double press opens the voice assistant on your phone. Volume cannot be changed from the earbuds, so you adjust it on the phone. You can wear just one earbud for mono sound, for example while driving or at the office, and put the second one in to return to stereo without pairing again. The microphone is a single mic per pair, and Xiaomi notes that in very noisy places the other person may hear you quietly.
Pairing, range and limits
The first time, you pair the Xiaomi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2 manually from your phone’s Bluetooth menu; after that they reconnect when you take them out of the case. Xiaomi quotes a 10 m range with no obstacles, and notes that Wi-Fi routers, 4G and high-power appliances can disturb the link. They connect to one phone at a time and do not support two devices at once, and they cannot pair with a smart band. Out of the case and unconnected, they switch themselves off after about five minutes. Battery level shows on iPhones and most Android phones, but only for the primary earbud. For most people the Xiaomi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2 work best as a single-phone, everyday pair.
Fit, weight and IPX4 rating
At about 4.1 g per earbud, the Xiaomi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2 are light enough for long wear, and each earbud measures 26.65 × 16.4 × 21.6 mm. The box includes three ear tip sizes (S, M and L, with M fitted), and choosing the right size matters for both comfort and bass. The earbuds are rated IPX4 against splashes and sweat, which covers a walk or a light workout; the charging case is not water resistant, so keep it dry. The case measures 62 × 40 × 27.2 mm and weighs about 35.4 g with the earbuds, small enough for a jeans pocket.
Who This Is Not For
The Xiaomi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2 are not for anyone who wants active noise cancellation for flights or the metro, volume control on the earbuds, an app with EQ, multipoint connection to a phone and a laptop at once, or wireless charging. Xiaomi rates them only IPX4, so they are not for swimming, and the charging case has no water protection. At about 12 hours in total, they also fall behind newer budget earbuds on battery.
