How does this compare to similar Bluetooth speakers, readily available via Amazon from UK seller?
is it THAT much superior to want to have it delivered from abroad?

Had one for around a year, and it has survived 6 months backpacking in India and 3 months in the Philippines! It still works great, outstanding build quality as always with Xiaomi.

I bought this in the past the sound quality is terrible, build is ok. But I would avoid!

It delivers about £15 worth of sound. It's not as loud as the Anker Soundcore 1, nor is the audio quality or battery life as good, but that's double the price.

Keep it in context and it's a decent product.

It's a pretty good speaker but no volume controls is a bit annoying. Good battery and reasonable sound quality, well built too, always found the range ok as well.

I only paid £11.50 though in December 2015...

Bought this a couple of months ago and pretty happy with it. Found the BT range to be a bit questionable at times and the max useable volume to be average but perfectly usable. Build quality is great, weighty in the hand and looks nice in my kitchen :sunglasses:

I've got one which I use with an Echo Dot whilst the speaker is plugged into a power source (if that's what you mean by plugged in)

I like Xiaomi stuff, but why the hell would you want a portable speak made out of aluminium? Just the worst material for a speaker.

You may get a few people complaining that this doesn't go very loud, still it's only £15.

Im not even going to bother replying anymore. of course its a better product, its a third of the price more. And the rest, yeah too headstrong.

Gen2 was created and given all of the extra features because of the complaints and critisicm received about this gen1 product and as mentioned already by comments in this thread people have quickly pointed out they are dissapointed it has no aux amd cannot be used while on charge etc. Gen2 is a better product plain and simple and in my opinion worth the extra few quid hence why ive gone and bought one.

Where is there any evidence its a "crappy" microphone? You have just made this up! There are no complaints anywhere as to the quality of the microphone! Read the reviews this is also useful.

Your question about bluetooth 4.0 and 4.2 is easily answered. Rather than "site" you.. Just use google.

Lots of hyperboles being thrown around.

"Far better device". Because it added volume buttons, an aux in and a crappy microphone? If thats the case, thats why your paying £5 extra on a £14 device. Worth over a third of the speaker cost for those minor upgrades?

Please site me where bluetooth 4.2 is more reliable than 4.0, and where it is relevant to an audio casting bluetooth speaker where the amount of data being sent is low. Trust me, it really isnt, the difference is negligible.

Difference being that the Gen2 is far better device it has addressed and rectified all of the issues and complaints from this device. Gen2 also has Bluetooth 4.2 which is better than 4.0 as it is more reliable.

It would be nice to see something like this that supports Chromecast Audio instead. i.e WIFI

Shame you can't use while plugged in. Seems a bit of a flaw.

5w total so the same. Only differences in the next gen that I can see is the volume buttons on it, aux in port and a built in mic (who really would use the mic on this).

Second Gen version for £20

what wattage?

Thanks Found it now

I meant how long does it normally take to be delivered?
Isn't gearbest renowned for quite a long time to deliver? (or am I confusing them for another website!?)

However long you want to look at the product webpage.

How longs shipping time on something like this?

I like a bit of bass at supper time! :wink:

I have one of these, very impressed for £15. It has a 'subwoofer' which means it has a surprisingly good amount of bass and the clarity of highs is not bad either. Much better than expected.

Did I miss something, it says £17.98 and will not ship to United Kingdom

This one doesn't seem to have one

10 hours at max or min volume? Seems good for this price

Power Output: 2.5W x 2

Anyone know what these are like compared to the Kitsound Hive 2?
