Design
Mi AirDots feature a minimal design similar to other Xiaomi ecosystem products, these come with a case which is entirely made up of plastic, the earbuds are also made up of plastic, due to which Mi Airdots are lightweight and weigh just 4.2 grams, including the case the total weight is less than 40 grams. Mi AirDots (and the case) are available only in white color, and hence these get dirty easily.
The earbuds do not feature any branding but Mi branding can be found on the top of the case, and bottom of the case includes product and charging information. The earbuds are held via magnetic pins inside the case, Mi AirDots feature an in-ear design and come with sets of extra ear-tips.
The AirDots are really tiny and even with the case, the entire package is smaller than a camera lens cap.
