Mi Smart Speaker review: The big picture
Xiaomi’s entire ecosystem has been built around the premise of value. From smartphones to smart home equipment, the idea is khổng lồ offer options that belie the price, bringing most of the features from higher-end equipment at hyper-competitive prices.Of course, there are some compromises along the way, but often enough, they are small enough to overlook. The mi Smart Speaker is the company’s first foray into smart assistant enabled speakers in India.
Xiaomi previously dabbled in bluetooth speakers khổng lồ reasonable success. However, the category is led by giants like Google and Amazon, so mi will have lớn offer significant advantages over the first buổi tiệc nhỏ alternatives khổng lồ be able to leave a mark.
The ngươi Smart Speaker cribs a lot of its kiến thiết sensibilities from the Sonos One. Nevertheless, the Sonos is a much more premium device & Xiaomi has made some compromises to lớn hit the price point.
The aluminum build is sturdy, with a perforated grille running around the speaker for audio output. There is, however, just a smidgen of flex when holding up the speaker. This shouldn’t be an issue for most users since you will rarely, if ever, move the speaker around.
Elsewhere, the plastics on the top and bottom of the speaker are well built but don’t exactly scream luxury. The cảm biến controls for volume control, microphone mute, và play, pause are responsive. Additionally, an LED ring runs around the đứng đầu of the speaker lớn indicate that the speaker is listening to voice commands.
At the front is a fairly discrete mi logo, while at the back, you can spot a barrel connector for power. While a USB port would have been a convenient addition, this is a set-and-forget device and it isn’t really a big loss.
Finally, weighing in at just under 1kg, the mày Smart Speaker stays planted on a surface, while the rubber feet further help dampen any vibrations. Overall, there’s little khổng lồ complain about the build chất lượng here.

I wouldn’t mind the use of more premium plastics, but for the price, the quality here is more than satisfactory.
The mi Smart Speaker is using a single 2.5-inch driver that delivers 12W of audio output. For comparison, the Google trang chủ has a single 2-inch driver, while the Amazon Echo has a larger 3-inch driver.
When it comes khổng lồ audio quality, I’m more than satisfied. The speaker has been tuned for boosted mids which ensures that vocals & acoustic tracks sound exceptionally clear.
The high treble frequencies are very well controlled và at no point does the speaker sound too shrill. Meanwhile, the bass isn’t too bad for the size, but you will want to temper your expectations.
The room-filling output excels at vocals & acoustic music, though bass can be a bit muffled at higher volumes.
The mi Smart Speaker isn’t going lớn get the tiệc nhỏ started, but there is enough low-end here lớn please most listeners unless you listen khổng lồ a lot of bass-heavy music at high volumes.
Overall, Xiaomi’s smart speaker sounds more than satisfactory. In fact, I’d say it sounds even better than the Google home with its focus on clean mids and a fairly uncluttered sound. That said, the upgraded Nest Audio should be an interesting nâng cấp option if you’ve got the budget lớn spare.
Finally, it is possible khổng lồ create a stereo pair with two mi Smart Speakers which should let you get dedicated left và right audio channels. Interestingly enough, two of these speakers in a stereo configuration should still be more affordable than a single Nest Audio speaker. Something to consider if you’re in the market for a budget-friendly audio solution.
The speaker has two far-field microphones at the top. They vày an excellent job of picking up commands from across the room.
The ngươi Smart Speaker seamlessly integrates into your smart home cài đặt and has the same Google Assistant as on Google’s own Nest speakers. This means that it supports the entire gamut of Google Assistant queries that you are used lớn on your phone.
Additionally, the speaker can become the center of your smart home ecosystem & allow you to control smart lights và other equipment. In fact, almost all the ecosystem products sold by xiaomi mi in India are Google Assistant-enabled. The launch of the ngươi Smart Speaker means that you no longer have to look outside the ecosystem lớn get started with your smart trang chủ setup. Very smart.
