Sleek design, superior features

As a new favorite of all music lovers, the Xiaomi Bluetooth speaker is not only beautiful on the outside: behind a stylish shell, powerful functions are hidden, providing excellent sound quality and supporting multiple music playback modes. Compatible with phone, tablet, TV and laptop, allowing you to enjoy the perfect sound of your music.

No bigger than a pencil case - perfect for travel

Handsfree technology

The Xiaomi Bluetooth speaker has a built-in microphone and supports Handsfree technology. Music playback is automatically paused when receiving calls. You just need to press the Play button to switch to the speakerphone mode and start chatting without using your mobile phone.

Durable all-metal housing

True art is often reflected in the details: sandblasting, laser engraving, secondary anodic oxidation and painting, each stage of the process is precisely calibrated. Hard-wearing, non-marking aluminum material will extend column life.

Small but powerful

Two 36mm anodized aluminum drivers, powerful neodymium iron boron magnets combined with Ferrotec FRM4005 ferromagnetic cooling technology. In combination, this makes the sound quality richer and more real. The range of sound coverage of the Xiaomi Bluetooth speaker is comparable to that of Hi-Fi stereo, which allows you to enjoy high-quality sound even outdoors.

Integrated passive emitter

Integrated into the Xiaomi Bluetooth speaker, a robust "two-step" bass emitter creates a realistic sound experience and detailed music reproduction. And the side-framed TPU material is made in a grainy style for better damping. In combination, this creates a more consistent sonic vibration, enhances sound stability and enhances high, mid and bass tones.

Flagship speaker with SoC chip

The Xiaomi Bluetooth speaker is equipped with the Avnera AV3102 chip, which gently adjusts the sound quality. The Avnera AV3102 chip supports up to 19 PEQ settings and 12 DRC levels, and its aluminum diaphragm withstands higher SPL for clearer sound. Even with a shortage of battery power, the Xiaomi Bluetooth speaker can be listened to at full power with clear sounding high frequencies.

Interaction with a smart home is one of the priority areas of all systems of this kind. Is it possible to call a house smart if, to turn on the light, you need to get your smartphone, go to the application and activate the lighting there? For a house to become smart, you need to learn how to communicate with it, and if it knows how to notify you, then there is no way to listen to you and execute commands.

But progress does not stand still and the solution to this issue was implemented in the smart speaker Xiaomi Mi AI Speaker!

The column is delivered in a nice box, which contains various useful information (alas, but only in Chinese):

Let's take a look inside:

Xiaomi devices come in the same design concept, so the column looks very much like a small air purifier. The package includes the speaker itself and the power supply. Since it does not have a built-in battery, it can only work from the mains. Well, of course, the power supply plug is of the Chinese format.

Touch control unit, located on the top of the column. There are also 6 microphones:

In the center is the Play button, which controls playback. On the sides are buttons for rewinding or switching the audio track. In the upper part there is a button for turning the microphone on and off. And at the bottom there is a playlist skip button.

The circular notch is a touch sensitive volume control that's quite touch sensitive.

At the edges of the column there is an LED ring, the color of which changes depending on the current state.

Sound of the speaker Mi Ai Speaker

Since sound reproduction is not the main purpose of the device, the speaker's capabilities are curtailed. For example, there is no AUX jack and AirPlay is not supported. Sound can be played via Bluetooth connection and Internet radio. DLNA technology is also supported.

Inside the column there are 2 speakers 60Hz - 18KHz allowing to produce a sound of 82 dB. Below is a passive radiator that acts as a subwoofer.

The speaker sounds pretty good, the bass is felt. You won't be able to go deaf, but to fill the room with music is quite. Do not forget that the sound in this speaker is not the main thing.

App for Xiaomi AI Speaker

If you try to add a column to MiHome in the usual way, then most likely you will not succeed (at least at the testing stage). A special Mi AI application is used to control the smart speaker. By tradition, the only available language is Chinese. But this is no reason to be upset, keep the translated app, version 1.2.7 (for Android). For iOS, the application can be downloaded here:

As with all Xiaomi applications, you can use your Mi account data (similar to MiHome). After authorization, we are offered to add a column:

For some reason, the first time I could not connect the column, an error was issued:

But since I did not have any network barriers, I pressed the "Retry" button and the column connected normally. Next, the application asks for information about your preferences:

I don’t know about you, but I liked the guy in the striped jacket. But despite this, I missed these settings, I am cool with Chinese music. This completes the initial setup of the column:

But do not believe everything that is written, if you say "Mi Ai", nothing will happen. But more on that later, but for now let's look at the application tabs:

First tab: Internet radio. Mostly there are Chinese artists, but there are also tracks from major Western bands. I could not find Russian-speaking performers.

Second tab: Smart home control. One of the main purposes of the speaker is voice control of smart devices. This is where the pairing of Mi Ai and MiHome applications is configured, although not the first time. When the "Authorize Mi Ai Speaker" button was pressed, the application constantly complained about the absence of MiHome. And only after 5 attempts, with the restart of all applications, the pairing was established. Next, the application requested access to devices:

After adding permissions, the tab displays the managed devices and voice control commands:

Now let's see how to communicate with the speaker.

Voice control for Xiaomi smart home

One of the main purposes of Mi AI Speaker is voice control of a smart home. Similar to Google and its "Ok google", control is activated by a passphrase: 小爱同学. If suddenly someone does not speak Chinese, then insert the phrase into the translator with the playback function. The translator's voice recognizes with a bang, but my pronunciation is clearly alien to her.

But it is not enough to activate voice control, then you need to name the action and the name of the device (of course, everything is in Chinese). If you decide to actively use Chinese, then it is better to change the name of smart devices to a numerical value, for easier pronunciation. The entire command will look something like this:

小爱同学打开开关五

Which includes the Aqara switch called "5". I myself felt stupid when I tried to repeat this phrase after the translator, which unfortunately I did not succeed. A logical question arises:

Will there be support for other languages in the Mi Ai Speaker?

Despite the fact that the column came out about a year ago, it is still in the testing phase. There is no official information at the moment. But I would not particularly hope for an early release of multilingualism. Most likely there will be support for the English language, at the moment the Amazon Echo assistant with the Alexa voice assistant is expected to go on sale.

Let's go back to our column, or rather to the 3rd tab of the application: Tools. There are collected useful commands that the column can handle, you can find out about the weather, set an alarm or learn about traffic jams, etc. All this is of course interesting if you live in China. Without knowing the language, this tab is useless.

Well, the fourth tab: Profile. Change Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings, install updates, and more.

For 2990 rubles. Or order in China from Aliexpress or.

And then it will be seen, they will add at least English - it will be great. Or maybe someone will screw Alice from Yandex? Unlikely, but also possible. The development of voice control systems is actively developing, and it is quite logical that home automation systems will completely switch to it in the coming years. We will follow the development of events, and thank you for reading, until we meet again.

A portable speaker is a thing that costs affordable money, takes up little space, plays music anywhere, anytime. All this is absolutely true for a completely straightforward speakers Xiaomi Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker, which we will start reviewing immediately.

In general, portable Bluetooth acoustics is a category of gadgets that has become sore on edge for a long time. Now there are thousands of them on the market, if not tens of thousands. There are also an incredible number of noname-crafts.

As soon as the manufacturers of these devices are not perverted. Columns are black, white, green, round, square, in the shape of hares and bear cubs, waterproof, heavy, weightless, awkward - in general, whatever your heart desires. Almost any Chinese factory can release a product line ready to conquer the market tomorrow. The components are cheap, the process has been established for a long time - in general, do it, I don’t want to.

Xiaomi is also not far behind, annually releasing two or three models of its own speakers. But unlike numerous competitors, they all have their own face. First of all, their gadgets are stylish, minimalist designs using quality materials. But one of the deciding factors is the price, traditionally low for Xiaomi products.

This also applies to our hero, who was announced relatively recently. Now the official price of Xiaomi Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker is $ 9.

Since none of us will be able to buy anything in the official store, it is worth looking towards third-party online platforms. So, the column came to me from here. In this store, they ask for $ 13.68 for it, which in translation into Russian money is now about 900 rubles. Penny? Not that word! Especially considering the quality and capabilities of this crumb.

The packaging for the device is very small: 70.7 x 70.7 x 28 mm. At first, I did not even believe that they sent me exactly what I ordered. I thought they had cheated.

I unpacked it, it turned out that inside there is indeed a portable acoustics, which is really miniature.

dimensions: 52 x 52 x 25 mm
weight 58 grams

The base of the case is made of metal, which is neatly painted in golden color. Also in nature, there are two more colors: silver and dark gray.

I have a gold version - stylish, glamorous, perfect for mine.

On the back there is a large rubber plug, which is also a stand. The power button is closer to the top edge of the bottom. She is here in the singular. Hold the button - the speaker turns on, hold it again - turns off. The pairing process is very fast and hassle-free.

By the way, communication breaks practically do not happen. My Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker disconnected from my smartphone on its own only a couple of times. I do not know why. In addition, for normal signal transmission, it is better not to put any obstacles in its path. The speaker will not play anything through the wall. From a distance of more than 4-5 meters too. By the way, 5 meters is the maximum working distance declared by the manufacturer itself. You see, they didn't lie.

Specifications Xiaomi Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker:

power 2 W
signal-to-noise ratio 53 dB
Bluetooth 4.0
Supported profiles: A2DP, HSP / HFP
noise canceling technology (CVC)

There is also a built-in microphone. Where it is located, I still do not understand. There is a LED next to the Micro USB port (flashing red or blue), on the side there is a loop for attaching a strap. Most likely, the microphone was hidden under a metal mesh, somewhere near the speaker.

Since there is a microphone, then the gadget can be used as a wireless headset. Everything is just like that. Moreover, at the other end of the tube, the interlocutor can perfectly hear your speech, if you hold the speaker even at an outstretched hand. It is worth moving away a meter or further and it is no longer so good to hear. Expected, quite good result.

Call management is very simple. When a call comes in to the smartphone, press the back button once - the call is accepted. Pressed again - hang up. Long press - rejects the call. Everything is simple and straightforward.

The only inconvenience is as follows. You listen, for example, to music from a smartphone through a speaker. At this point, a call comes in. I would like to talk through the microphone of the phone. And at this moment, you will not be able to turn off Mi Speaker. LeEco, for example, does not allow you to go to the Bluetooth settings. I have to talk on the speakerphone through the speaker.

The top side is very similar to a shower strainer. I think if the column ever breaks, it can be disassembled and used as a watering can for a yogurt bottle. You can water the flowers, for example, or bathe the hamster. Such is the free useful advice.

Let's move on to the main function of the gadget. The sound quality is pretty good. The volume is medium enough to fill a medium sized room. At the same time, communication is likely to be uncomfortable. Setting the volume to one third is another matter.

The speaker is surprisingly loud. At maximum volume, wheezing, whistling and other "joys" come out. Better to set the sound to 80-90%. The music will still play loudly, but the extraneous noises will go away.

If you put the speaker on some hollow wooden surface, then it will begin to transmit low-frequency vibrations to the piece of wood. However, I still can't call it bass. They are only indicated here, but in fact they are not. Don't forget about speaker size and cost.

In general, one should not expect impressive sound quality from an acoustics of such a tiny size. The speaker will perfectly come to court where it is absolutely impossible to listen to music through something more or less serious. For audiophiles, I would suggest passing by. May their ears not be defiled.

Personally, I love high-quality sound, but still I consider myself more of an average person. And I am completely satisfied with the sound quality. But even more I like the dimensions of the speaker. It is really very small, weighs practically nothing and you can always take it with you. Neither in a bag, let alone in a backpack, it will not drag.

And besides, there is a small loop on the side circumference where you can thread a lace and conveniently fix the acoustics on jeans, on a bicycle, or anywhere else.

The battery life varies greatly from the set volume. For example, at the maximum, the column lasted 2 hours and 17 minutes. After that, endless disconnections began to occur, which means it's time to charge. By the way, this can be done both from a computer and from a conventional charger with an output of 1 amp. In the latter case, the gadget charges up to 100 percent in 1 hour and 50 minutes.

If you set the volume to an average value (50-60%), then in order to plant the built-in battery (300 mAh, by the way) you will have to try. In this position, the gadget played for me for 12 hours and 20 minutes. It is clear that such autonomy is above the roof.

We are coming to the end, and therefore we will list the positive and negative aspects of the device:

very competitive price
stylish, high-quality case
tiny dimensions
almost invisible weight
good sound quality
good autonomy

no cable connection (3.5 mm<->3.5 mm)
wheezing at 100 percent volume

I did not consider the lack of a Micro USB cable in the kit as a disadvantage. Still, each of us has one or two such wires through which we can charge our gadget.

And once again: for such a price, the column can be forgiven anything. And if for some Xiaomi Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker this is still a big compromise, then look again at its design, evaluate the quality of the case and assembly in general, well, the price, comrades, the price!

In general, if you don't need such a gadget yourself, you can still buy it and donate it to someone. Still, our country is full of different holidays (March 8, February 23, New Year, Bastille Day, and so on) and it doesn't hurt to be ready for them in advance.

Appearance

The box is made in the traditional style for Xiaomi - snow-white cardboard with high-quality printing. On the front side there is an image of the device.

On the back - technical specifications.

The box opens like a pencil case. Only a speaker and instructions are included in the kit, even the charging cable is clamped :(

The cardboard is quite thick, so the speaker is unlikely to be damaged along the way.

The instruction is also in Chinese. It's a pity that there is no duplicate in English.

The column is made in the shape of a rectangle. The front part is covered with perforated plastic, under which there are two active speakers and one passive radiator.

To indicate operation, there is a two-color LED under the net.
Blue color - the speaker is successfully paired.
Red - the speaker is discharged or charging.
Alternate blinking - searching for a Bluetooth device.

Above is a microphone that serves for conversations in headset mode. The interlocutor hears clearly, but there is a "barrel" effect.

The frame of the device is made of soft aluminum with bevels along the edges.

At the top there are three buttons: turning on / searching for the device and a volume rocker. There is no track switching function. The travel of the buttons is soft with a characteristic click.

On the back, which is made of plastic, there is a microUSB port and AUX input.

Below are two silicone legs, so that the column does not slide on the table, as well as brief characteristics.

Device operation

After syncing with the device, the speaker is identified as XMFHZ02. I connected the speaker to a computer and a smartphone, there were no problems with playback. After 10 minutes of inactivity, the column turns off.

Working hours:
- Watching movies at maximum volume: 8 hours,
- Listening to music at maximum volume: 4 hours,
- Listening to music at medium volume: about 7-8 hours.
When the charge level is low, it starts beeping every minute! I do not like speakers with this type of discharge, it is very annoying.
Charge schedule.

Sound, what can you say about it? There is bass, the speaker jumps, but there is no volume. The vocals sound very distinct and clear, it is pleasant to the ear. It is quite suitable for listening to music at home, hardly on the street.
Battle of Xiaomi Mi Speaker Square 2 with JBL Flip3. The first is played by Xiaomi, then JBL.

Outcome:

+ Good layout of materials and excellent appearance
+ Sounds better than Chinese brothers (my opinion)
+ Price (relatively inexpensive)

Soft aluminum
- Lack of kit
- Lack of microSD slot (on a hike you want your phone to be charged)
If you are interested in disassembly, please
