What Is Xiaomi Clear Speaker?
Xiaomi Clear speaker is a built-in MIUI feature that plays a low-frequency cleaning tone to vibrate dust and water out of the speaker mesh. It works like a browser speaker cleaner, but it's part of the phone's settings. It's one of the few built-in options on Android; see the Android speaker cleaner guide for other brands.
How to Turn On Clear Speaker
To turn on Clear speaker, open Settings, then Additional settings, then Clear speaker.
- Open Settings.
- Tap Additional settings.
- Tap Clear speaker.
- Turn on Clear speaker, then tap Got it if the phone asks.
On newer Xiaomi software, including HyperOS, the option may sit in a different menu. Type "clear speaker" into the search bar at the top of Settings to find it.
Which Xiaomi Phones Have Clear Speaker?
Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO phones running MIUI include Clear speaker. The feature depends on the software version, not only the model. If a Settings search for "clear speaker" finds nothing, your phone doesn't have it.
How Long Does Clear Speaker Play?
Clear speaker plays for about 30 seconds. Shaking the phone gently while the tone plays helps loosen debris that vibration alone might not clear.
Can You Run Clear Speaker More Than Once?
Yes, you can run Clear speaker several times over a few days. If the sound is still muffled after 2 or 3 runs, the blockage is deeper or isn't dust. Move on to cleaning the grille by hand or checking other causes.
Clear Speaker vs an Online Speaker Cleaner
Clear speaker and an online speaker cleaner use the same principle, but the browser tool works on any phone.
| Xiaomi Clear speaker | ClearSpeakers browser tool | |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO on MIUI | Any phone, tablet or laptop with a browser |
| Modes | One cleaning tone | Water Eject, Dust Clean, Earpiece |
| Earpiece option | No separate mode | Gentler Earpiece mode |
| Speaker test | No | Separate speaker test page |
If your Xiaomi phone sounds better after Clear speaker but not fully clear, try the Water Eject mode on the online speaker cleaner for a longer cycle.
What If Your Xiaomi Phone Doesn't Have Clear Speaker?
If your Xiaomi phone doesn't have Clear speaker, use a browser tool or clean the grille by hand.
- Use the browser cleaner above, which plays the same kind of tone.
- Clean the grille gently with a soft, dry brush; see how to clean a phone speaker grille.
- Clear the call speaker with the earpiece cleaner if callers sound muffled.
- Check the result with the speaker test.
