UPDATE: After a couple months of listening to them, review adjusted from 5 to 1 stars only. Reason:
The sound quality is great for speech, but I started noticing that the music sounds really terrible. The app has multiple preset equalizers that can be edited, but they all sound terrible. On the "balanced" preset, the sound is mushy and muddy in most of my music files. If I use "bass boost", the bass becomes noisy and even muddier. If I use "treble boost", the highs become sharp and ear piercing, and the bass almost disappears. I tried manual equalizer settings but nothing could fix the sound.
Another issue is that the sound glitches and gets messed up during music playback. As I listen to a song, the sound starts normally, then a minute later, they hitch and the sound quality drops significantly and they start to sound like an old radio. Then seconds later, they hitch again and return to normal. These glitches happen very frequently it totally ruins the listening experience. It seems to me that they constantly switch between high and low quality Bluetooth codecs and getting confused in the process, which causes frequent stutters and audio quality drops. By the way, the phone is right in my pocket, so it's not a distance issue.
Another big issue: they sound completely different when noise cancellation is on/off. They sound muddier and louder when noise cancellation is on. Turn noise cancellation off, and the sound becomes better and quieter, but also mixed up with the ambient noise. So you can't have good sound and good noise cancellation. You have to choose one over the other.
Verdict: do I recommend them now after an extended test? No, I definitely don't, and I deeply regret my purchase. My former Sennheiser earbuds didn't have all these issues, and they sounded great with all my music files out of the box for the entirety of their lifecycle. These Xiaomi earbuds were like a massive downgrade. I listened to all the music files using them, the exact same files I always listened to with my Sennheisers, and they all sound way worse now. I haven't changed any settings in my phone or music player. I only tested all the settings available in the Xiaomi app, and the sound just gets worse in a different way with every change I test.
