Alongside the Mi AirDots Pro, Xiaomi has also launched the Xiao AI Speaker HD smart speaker that looks very similar to the new Amazon Echo Plus thanks to a mesh-like fabric exterior. Available in dark and light grey fabric options, the Xiaomi Xiao Ai Speaker HD is priced at CNY 599 (just over Rs. 6,000) and will ship next week in China.
The large size of the Speaker HD has allowed Xiaomi to pack in tech that enables 360-degree surround sound and high-power full-range speaker array. The woofer is a large 104mm calibre unit, while the six microphone array can catch your voice commands even at a distance. Other features include support for A2DP music playback, intelligent audio equalizer, Bluetooth v4.1, and Wi-Fi support.
