I am so lucky to win this giveaway of Mi Pocket Speaker 2. Actually, strictly speaking, I am not a professional trendsetter of electronic or a crazy musical lover. I am happy to have this chance to have this pocket speaker and share my experience with all of the applicants.
Product Appearance and Features
In my impression, products from Mi are always simple and elegant, but relatively speaking, the recognition of this box is relatively low, and the above "MI" logo is not obvious. However, this is not a serious problem.
Open the box, there comes with the speaker. The body is made of a matte-quality aluminum alloy material, which is similar to the iphone7's body texture, so it feels in high quality.
The speaker is located on the top, the same mesh design as most speakers. To be honest, I really like the design of the speaker on the top. No matter which direction you are listening to, the sound is the same, no need to adjust the position.
The bottom is made of rubber, which is mainly used for anti-slip. It also perfectly avoids the problem of scratching the bottom as time goes by. These details are designed carefully.
Using Experience
The most attractive thing about the speaker is its operation. As a Bluetooth speaker that without beeing seen a button on the whole body, how does it work? It depends on the small "aluminum bucket" on the top.
The entire operation of this speaker can be simply summarized as: press and rotate.
Long press for 2 seconds: switch on or shut down.
Short press: Play, Pause, to pick up the telephone or hang up.
Rotate: Volume+ and Volume-
This minimalist design style is so good, and the cost of learning is extremely low, without a lot of messy features. The only thing that worries me is that all operations are done by pressing and rotating a small "aluminum bucket", which may relatively cause a short life time in terms of mechanical life.
Functional Test
My ears are not very sensitive of the sound, but I will share my feelings with you.
First of all, we have to understand that cost determines the quality. If you want to take Mi Pocket Speaker to compare with BOSE speakers, it is unfair. But this pocket speaker also will not turn music into noise.
In general, this pocket speaker is still able to satisfy ordinary consumer like me, no matter it is in the high or low frequency, there is no abnormal noise. Even if the volume is adjusted to the maximum, the sound quality is guaranteed.
In terms of the sound quality, I do not have the qualification to say too much. If you are a music enthusiast, then you may dissatisfy with this speaker. But if you are just an ordinary user, I believe it will be satisfactory.
In addition, I also tested the volume of the pocket speaker. The minimum of the volume is 57db, the maximum of the volume is 85db. So how much high or low is it?
In general, if you adjust the speaker to the lowest volume, you can hear the song within a meter of quiet environment, which is more suitable for listening to some light music on the bed before falling asleep.
And if adjust the speaker to the highest volume, it is absolutely able to wake up the asleep neighbors, so please pay attention if you are the person who like having fun in the late night at home. In the outdoors, the volume will be weakened, which is more suitable for using in smaller outdoor parties, such as barbecue.
As a Bluetooth speaker, it must be qualified in terms of the stability. In the process of constantly playing music for three hours, there is no jam, disconnection. I have tried to disconnect and reconnect Bluetooth many times, it is relatively smooth.
In addition, the impact of distance on sound quality is also a point that many users care about. During the test, the sound quality did not change in the range of five meters, and when the mobile phone got close to ten meters, the music began to appear jam, but the Bluetooth has not been disconnected, and there is not much difference with the official introduction.
But in the process of testing, there is still a small problem.
When I connect the speaker (my device is iphone7), the phone shows that it is connected, and the speaker also gives the Bluetooth connected sound prompt, but when I play the music, the sound is still released from the phone, while the speaker did not release music. When it was disconnected and reconnected, it returned to normal. It appeared once during the whole night test, hoping that it was only an occasional phenomenon.
Final Verdict
As a Bluetooth speaker with this price, Xiaomi Pocket Speaker 2 has achieved value for money both in form and sound quality. The official continuous playback time is about seven hours, which is enough to surpass most common bluetooth speakers on the market. If you are a friend who often have party outdoors, you should definitely have one in your backpack.
The minimalist design style is also very pleasing, even if it is simply placed in the room, it is very eye-catching.
