Xiaomi has quietly added two Bluetooth speakers to its global website. Dubbed the Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker and Bluetooth Speaker Mini, they were previously available only for purchase in China. 

Although the speakers are listed on the official site, specific pricing details remain under wraps. However, you can estimate their prices based on their Chinese counterparts. 

In China, the larger Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker is priced at approximately $80, while the Bluetooth Speaker Mini is priced at around $30. Here’s a look at what each speaker offers for its respective price point.

Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker

The larger Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker boasts 40W of power and boasts a 360-degree sound experience with a maximum volume of 93 dB. It achieves this through a combination of two tweeters, a mid-frequency driver, and dual passive radiators. 

The speaker boasts an IP67 water resistance rating, making it suitable for poolside or beach use. It also supports HyperOS Connect for multi-device pairing and stereo playback, with customizable RGB lighting adding a touch of flair. The speaker has a run-time of up to 17 hours of battery life on a single charge.

Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker Mini

The Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker Mini offers a more compact and portable option. Roughly half the size and weight of its larger sibling, the Mini comes in at around 10 x 7 x 7 cm and weighs just 330g. 

It utilizes two full-range speakers and a passive radiator to deliver 360° omnidirectional sound output. The battery life is a more modest 8 hours. However, it retains many of the other features, including Bluetooth connectivity, HyperOS Connect, and IP67 dust and water resistance. There’s also ambient RGB lighting on the top for asthetics.

For those impatient for Xiaomi’s official launch, the company’s existing offerings, like the Xiaomi Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker, are still available through retailers like Amazon. 

These existing models might offer a comparable alternative until Xiaomi officially unveils its latest Bluetooth speaker lineup for the global market.

Xiaomi held a conference on Thursday last week where the flagship Mi Mix 3 was officially announced. The Chinese tech giant did not announce only the Mix 3 but also launched a portable AI Bluetooth speaker. The product is officially called Xiaomi XiaoAI Bluetooth Speaker Portable Edition.

The new speaker adopts a compact round shape similar to the portable Xiaomi Bluetooth Mini speaker but this time around, you get a built-in XiaoAi voice assistant. It is actually a trimmed down version of the rectangular-shaped Mi AI speaker. There is equally a Mi Ai Speaker Mini but this version is way smaller and can easily fit into the pocket.  It is lightweight, weighing just 52 gram and comes only in white colour. It has a waterproof build, making it suitable for use in the bathroom or other places where it is exposed to water.

The Xiaomi XiaoAI Bluetooth Speaker Portable Edition uses DRC technology to provide a rich sound output with a dynamic sound compression algorithm that provides a cleaner sound with no distortion and adequate bass. The speaker also comes with voice assistance feature powered by XiaoAI. The voice assistant offers useful functions such as weather forecast, establishing a telephone connection to someone on the contact list. Unfortunately, this feature is only available in the Chinese language as with other Mi AI speakers. Regardless of that, the speaker is an affordable companion with robust sound output capable of prolonged music playback. Thanks to its 480mAh battery, the speaker boasts of 45 days standby time and 4 hours of music playback. It can also be used to receive calls via a connected smartphone.

Xiaomi has been been known not only for its affordable yet great smartphones but also for a lot of different accessories. In addition, many of these accessories are actually independent gadgets and one of them is a super affordable aluminium Bluetooth speaker. I have just received it from the post office and wanted to share my first impressions.

Xiaomi Aluminum Bluetooth Speaker: UNBOXING

The device comes in a plain box and the contents include just the speaker itself and Chinese instruction manual.

Xiaomi Aluminum Bluetooth Speaker: DESIGN

There very first impressions you are going to get is how small the speaker is that you can carry it with two fingers. In addition, a high quality aluminum frame goes around the device but the front speaker grill and the back are made out of plastic.

On the right side you can find just a power on/off button, Bluetooth LED light and the micro USB charging port.

Other sides of the speaker are clean except the bottom part where you can find silicone pads, which prevent speaker from sliding. That is a little but neat feature that not every manufacturer understands as a must. I have reviewed a few Bluetooth speakers, which did not have these pads and it was a nightmare to use it. They kept sliding on the table when played at high volumes, so I could not leave them without taking care of. Otherwise, they would simply fall off the table because of low frequency sound.

Xiaomi Aluminum Bluetooth Speaker: FIRST IMPRESSIONS

The first impressions are that Xiaomi Aluminum Bluetooth Speaker is very compact and it should be very convenient for travelling. You may even squeeze it to your pocket unless you wear skinny jeans.

What is more, the device seems to be very well-made and has a great choice of materials. A combo of aluminium and quality plastic makes this device a looker.

Also, I tested a sound quality and it seems that it has quite a lot to offer for a small footprint. The sound is clear and it is loud for such a compact speaker. However, I’m keeping the final judgment for a full review.

Finally, for the price of under $20, the Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker is an absolute steal! Of course you may find some cheaper knock-offs but I doubt that you would get a great overall combo of build quality, materials used, sound quality and output. These are at least my first impressions. Stay tuned for a full review.
