Original XiaoMi Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker

Pros:

On the first, speaker comes in sweet white cardboard box, which looks premium. Also it comes with nice soft pouch for carrying. In real, speaker looks a bit smaller than on the photos, but that is just even better, because it is more suitable for carrying. It is wrapped in metal housing, which looks rock solid, and only on two sides we can see white plastic, which looks premium too. Buttons got a nice feel, and all in all I really like quality of the speaker.

On the right side, we have 4 buttons, one is for turning it on/off, and also for play/pause function, below are 2 buttons for volume, or skipping tracks if we hold them longer. Lowest button just serves for checking the battery life ( voice telling).

On the left side, we have 3.5mm Auxiliary port for connecting some devices which do not support bluetooth technology, then a microphone, mini USB for charging battery, and micro SD card slot if you prefer to listen to your music over micro SD card.
Pairing is easy, you just need to turn on speaker, and your bluetooth on your phone, or other BT device, select speaker on the list, and tap it. That is it.

And finaly, the sound... You wouldn't believe what a sweet sound does this little speaker make. Even at low volume, this speaker is capable to play nice low frequencies ( thanks to DSP ( Digital Signal Processing)) , starting at 80Hz, and reaching 100hz it really can pump the sound all over to 16KHz where the line starts to drop. Speaker is also very loud, if you rise volume to the max, you would not be capable to make a proper conversation. Sound picture is stunning for such a small drivers, and even at max volume there is no distortions in sound.

Battery is 1500 mAh, and if you have 2A charger it will charge for about 2.5 hours, and with moderate listening levels it will last about 8 hours.

If you are searching for a speaker in price tag about 35$, you don't need to search further. I highly recommend this little "bomb" and you would not regret it :)

Pros:

Vorab möchte ich mal versuchen aufzuklären wie man welche Version bestellt. Für die, die es noch nicht wussten es gibt von dem Lautsprecher zwei verschiedene Versionen. Eine für den chinesischen Markt und eine für den Internationalen. Der große Unterschied besteht darin, dass die chinesische Version über einen micro SD-Karten Steckplatz verfügt und die Sprachausgabe in chinesisch statt englisch erfolgt. Die chinesische Version erhält man wenn man bei der Bestellung als Sprache für die Seite: GearBest ausgewählt hat. Die Internationale, momentan auch teurere Version, durch die Sprachauswahl: Deutsch.

Zu dem Gerät an sich:
-Es hat einfach wirklich einen richtig guten Klang!
-Die Optik und Haptik sind ebenfalls über jeden Zweifel erhaben.
-Die Bedienung ist intuitiv, wer schonmal einen Bluetooth Lautsprecher in der Hand hatte wird auch ohne Bedienungsanleitung zurecht kommen.
-Nochmals der Klang! Es gibt wirklich einen Bass. Man kann ihn nicht nur erahnen, wie es z.B. bei einem JBL Clip2 in derselben Preisklasse der Fall ist.

Zur Akkulaufzeit und Freisprechfunktion und Ladezeit kann ich noch keine Auskunft geben, da ich eben auch die chinesische Version bestellt habe und diese schon einen neuen Käufer gefunden hat. Da ich sehr von dem Gerät angetan bin möchte ich nicht, dass mir das chinesische Feedback vielleicht auf Dauer den Spaß trübt und habe mir nochmals die Internationale Version bestellt. Auf den SD-Karten Slot verzichte ich gerne.

Cons:

Wie gesagt einzige Wermutstropfen ist bislang das chinesische Feedback.
Da im allgemeinen Xiaomi gerne mal chinesisches Apple angepriesen wird möchte ich doch mal loswerden dass z.B. die Qualität des Alugehäuses zwar durchaus gut und robust ist, bei Apple aber wohl nicht durch die Qualitätskontrolle gekommen wäre..
Achso, zumindest die chinesische Version beinhaltet kein Schutzhülle :(

Pros:

La seconda versione della fortunata serie di speaker bluetooth Xiaomi. Impreziosita dalla scocca in alluminio. Questa di colore dorato è elegante. La qualità del suono è oltremodo eccellente, fedele all'originale, con i bassi che si sentono nitidamente rispetto allo speaker predecessore.
Nuove features: possibilità di ascolo degli mp3 direttamente dalla cassa con l'inserimento della scheda microsd, tasti volume e avanti indietro per controllare l'avanzamento della musica ed il volume. In più jack da 3,5mm per collegare una sorgente audio non provvista di bluetooth, che se possibile è ancora migliore con pairing immediato.

Pros:

I ordered for 70 dollars of product on Gearbest, i wasn't sure at the beginnng because i knew other website to order Xiaomi products, but after a look at Youtube i have seen that Gearbest links were on a lot of review videos of Xiaomi Products on Youtube. I ordered my products and i've been impressed by the quality of the website. It was my first order i think. So first i want to say thank you to have written "35$" on the package, it makes me avoid importation fees and stuff like that.
I received the products and heres are the pros and the reason why you should buy this Bluetooth Speaker :
• Well made and high build quality
• Aluminium Body
• Impressive Sound with good bass
• The sound is clear
• Bluetooth 4.0, TF Cards and AUX In port to play your music on the speaker.
• Delivered with a protective slipcover
• It's a Xiaomi product ! :D
The pairing is easy and the product is cheap, only 45 dollars on Gearbest, plus Gearbest have freeshipping on this product so it's a good buy. You can check the pictures to see how is the Gold Xiaomi Speaker.
I'm impressed about this product there's nothing more to say i won't repeat myself, if you want a preview of the sound quality that is quiet impressive, check Youtube videos !

Cons:

None, except maybe the Chinese voice when it says 'Your device has been paired" but it doesn't matter.
Xaomi should release a speaker twice powerful than this for 90 dollars, i would buy it

Pros:

Ciao, ho comprato questo Altoparlante Bluetooth perché volevo un prodotto di qualità senza spendere grosse cifre.
La costruzione è impeccabile, è assemblato benissimo con materiali di qualità (alluminio e plastica) ed è molto curato nei dettagli.
All'accensione lampeggia il led del tasto power/play/pause, significa che cerca un dispositivo bluetooth con cui abbinarsi.
La musica si sente bene, non è hi-fi. ma vi assicuro che il suono è piacevole (ho una discreta esperienza con l'alta fedeltà del suono).
Nel video riproduce brani dalla scheda microSD (formattata in FAT32).
La batteria dura qualche ora, 4 / 5 ore, devo verificare.
Il tasto power con pressione prolungata accende o spegne la cassa, altrimenti con brevi pressioni avvia o mette in pausa i brani e risponde alle chiamate.
I tasti vol + e - controllano il volume con brevi pressioni, con pressioni prolungate si va al brano successivo o precedente.
XIAOMI per me significa buona qualità a basso prezzo.

Cons:

Avrei solo gradito gli acuti appena più brillanti.
Le voci di avvenuta connessione, accensione, spegnimento ecc sono in cinese, ma ci si può convivere.

Pros:

This speaker is excellent, bright clear sound, very equilibrated, to hear the bass you need to take it indoors close to a wall or something.
The speaker is well built, aluminium with plastic, maybe xiaomi should make an app for when you are playing music with a micro sd, where you can search music from the sd, make playlists and see the speaker´s battery.
I know its a bluetooth speaker, but remember that bluetooth compresses the audio to send it wireless, then the speaker decompress it and play´s it, so there should be a difference between bluetooth playback and micro sd playback. This also depends on the phone you are using, and other stuff.
In conclussion this speaker is perfect for ANYONE, its pretty, minimalist, bluetooth, with micro sd playback, with jack Aux, decent price and the battery long lasting playing time is very nice.
I attached some X ray images of the speaker, Thank You
:)

Cons:

Lack of dedicated app for knowing the speaker´s battery, searching music from the micro sd, playlist, equalizer, effect, etc

Pros:

I ordered this speaker because of it's good reviews. I didn't know what it sounds like, because any recording on the internet has it's own limitations for giving you an idea of the actual sound. I have a few older 'cheap' speakers with bluetooth and/or aux in and I was always disappointed with those. With this Xiaomi speaker however I have the same Wow-effect, that I had years ago when hearing those little Bose speakers for the first time. I always wondered, how do they get so much sound into such a small case. This one is of course no Bose speaker, but by far the best little portable, handheld, battery operated speaker I have heard.
So it already had me with it's sound, but I was extra pleased to see, that it shows it's battery level (in steps of 10% at a time, but still) in the iOS battery widget. Props to Xiaomi, this speaker sets a high mark for the competition.

Cons:

As one little con however I have to mention the bluetooth range. Like many other bluetooth devices that I have, the sound starts to stutter as you go to the next room. So I would say, the range indoors is only about 5 meters. For comparison, I get the best range with my AirPods, they easily reach 20 meters through 2-3 walls, so the limitation is not the phone.

Pros:

Xiaomi ბლუთუზ დინამიკი მიმოხილვა
ეს გახლავთ Xiaomi-ს ბრენდის დიანმიკი (სპიკერი)
მას აქვს მძლავრი ბასები და სუფთა ხმა, მისი ხმის ჭღერადობა სივრცეში თანაბრად იფანტება, ამიტომ მის ხმას საკმაოდ კარგად მოისმენთ შორ მანძილზეც..
მას აქვს ძირითადი 2 სპიკერი და ერთი შემგრძნები რომელიც ბასზე არის პასუხისმგებელი.
მისი ელემენტის ტევადობა 1500mAh რაც უზრუნველყოფს 8 საათიან უწყვეტ მუშაობას..
ის თავსებადია ნებისმიერ სმარტფონსა თუ სხვადასხვა ელექტრონულ მოწყობილობებზე რომელსაც გააჩნია ბლუთუზი ან 3,5მმ იანი AUX პორტი...
ასევე მას აქვს მიკროფონი (რომელიც ბლუთუზზე სრულად თავსებადია),
სამართავად 4 ძირითადი ღილაკი გააჩნია ესენია:
1)ჩართვა/გამორთვის\პაუზის,
2)ხმის აწევის/მუსიკიკის გადასვლის
3)ხმის დაწევის/ასევე მუსიკის უკან სვლის
4)ელემენზე ინფორმაციის მიღების/ბლუთუზის მიღების მზადების.

Cons:

უარყოფითი თვისებები არ გააჩნია ერთი ის არის რომ ამ ვერსიას არ აქვს TF ბარათის სლოტი...

Apr 12,2017

Pros:

First of all, the version I bought was the real "international edition", which means that it comes with a manual in both chinese and english and also speaker's messages, such as battery level and connection status, are in english. But in exchange they removed the microSD slot that the "chinese edition" has (I just don't know why...).

It's nicely built, as xiaomi usually does, and works wonderfully both using bluetooth or the aux 3.5mm jack input, you won't believe how high does it actually sound. It has quite nice bass for its size. Mids and highs are alright in my opinion.

If used with a xiaomi phone, you'll see a small battery like icon on the top bar showing the speaker battery level.

I still can't speak about battery performance, but they argue to last around eight hours, so we'd probably get 5-6h easily.

Cons:

None at all.
