Xiaomi, Tuesday evening, held a highly-anticipated launch event in China where it unveiled the premium Xiaomi Mix 4 smartphone alongside the Mi Pad 5 series, the Xiaomi CyberDog, and its second-generation OLED TV. Xiaomi also announced what it called its first high-end smart speaker. The gadget bears the moniker Xiaomi Sound and despite the appellation as a high-end speaker, it arrives with a fairly decent price tag of 499 yuan (~$77).

Also, one would have expected a bulky speaker but the Xiaomi Sound features a compact body and surprisingly, the internal configuration is designed to output a powerful sound. The speaker is also embedded with Harman AudioEFX which allows the speaker to transform into a powerhouse of deep and rich low-frequency sound without damaging the hardware. This re-enforces the claim that it is indeed a high end product.

The speaker features built-in neodymium iron boron powerful magnets with dual suspension passive radiators. Xiaomi claims it can achieve 90dB shock sound pressure and 70Hz full bass. At the same time, it adopts 360° omnidirectional sound output, a top-mounted sound guide cone design, and is the Hi-Res (high-resolution) certification.

Xiaomi Sound is available in two colors of silver and black, and the metal quality is sufficient. Lei Jun touts it to be the most beautiful and high-end smart speaker that the brand has launched in 10 years.

Furthermore, Xiaomi Sound also supports the calculation of audio functions, 330 calculations per second, to achieve dynamic tuning. At the same time, it deploys algorithm to regulate the sound quality and volume at night time to suit the ambience.

Another interesting feature is that the speaker supports two interconnections, combined stereo, and even 8 interconnections. That means you can link up to eight different speakers together which can then be placed at different locations to achieve a robust sound experience. Apart from Bluetooth connectivity, the smart speaker also supports Ultra-Wide-Band (UWB) connectivity.

Xiaomi is yet to reveal the availability details. We also expect the company to launch this product outside China at some point.
