Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker Essential

Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker Essential Overview

Design and build

The Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker Essential comes in a rounded, compact shape wrapped in a refined fabric mesh for a comfortable grip. It features a striking color-block design with vibrant color contrasts paired with a high-gloss accent band, creating a stylish, versatile look. 

The speaker weighs approximately 200 grams (about the same as an apple), making it lightweight, highly portable, and comfortable to hold in one hand. Despite its small stature, it boasts an IP66 dust and water-resistance rating, making it durable against sudden dust or light rain and ideal for your outdoor trips.

Audio and Connectivity

For audio, it features a dual-driver acoustic setup consisting of a 1.5-inch full-range speaker and a large passive radiator, delivering rich low frequencies and clear, natural vocals. With this setup, it pumps out a rated power output of 5W for wide sound coverage.

The speaker features Bluetooth 6.0for quick pairing and a highly stable wireless connection. If you want to boost the party vibe, it supports True Wireless Stereo (TWS) pairing to connect two identical units for an immersive left-right stereo experience. Furthermore, you can expand your soundstage even further with multi-speaker pairing, which automatically syncs up to 10 smart speakers. It also features a built-in microphone for hands-free Bluetooth calling with a single tap and a Quick USB connection that lets it instantly double as an external speaker for a PC or tablet.

Battery and Charging

In the tank, it packs a 1,000 mAh high-capacity battery that offers up to 10 hours of continuous playback on a single charge (measured at 40% volume). When it's time to top up, it uses a convenient Type-C charging port compatible with most modern phone and laptop charging cables.
