Xiaomi has announced a new portable Bluetooth speaker dubbed Vifa City Portable Bluetooth Speaker under the Youpin crowdfunding platform. The gadget comes with a crowdfunding price of 699 yuan ($101) and a final retail price of 899 yuan ($130).

The wireless speaker isn’t a cheap product and that is mainly due to the audio technology at play and the brand quality offered by Vifa. The company Vifa is said to be a world-famous Danish audio brand founded in 1933 by Mr. N.C Madsen. The company started the first generation of Vifa electromagnetic unit in the famous city of Videbaek in Denmark, and has since then maintained its position as one of the “world leader in the electro-acoustic field”. The company also provides professional sound system support for more than 500 well-known brands around the world.

The Vifa City Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker makes use of a coaxial speaker unit. The high-pitched part uses 15mm soft dome high-pitched diaphragm to make the middle and high frequency clear and delicate. While the bass part of the cone setup uses a rubber edge to provide better damping and distortion of the speaker. Despite the small size, the sound output is powerful.

Also, the speaker uses a 65mm bass neodymium iron boron magnetic circuit system which has stronger magnetic energy than other magnetic circuit systems of the same size. The system also comprehensively enhances the overall sound pressure of the speaker unit.
