The Quick Verdict
Xiaomi's approach to audio is simple: take what works and make it cheaper. The 16W output is loud and clear, with surprisingly good bass for the size. IPX7 waterproofing means pool parties are fine.

Pros
- + Xiaomi's approach to audio is simple: take what works and make it cheaper. The 16W output is loud and clear, with surprisingly good bass for the size. IPX7 waterproofing means pool parties are fine. TWS pairing works well with a second unit. The 13-hour battery life exceeds expectations. At ₹2,499, it's the best value in portable speakers right now.
Cons
- − The sound is competent but not exciting — no particular strength. Build quality is average; the fabric wrap frays over time. No app for EQ adjustment. Microphone for calls is poor. No stereo pairing with non-Xiaomi speakers.
Verdict
The sensible choice that won't wow anyone. Buy if you want the best sound-per-rupee ratio in a waterproof speaker. Skip if you want standout design or deep bass.
