When it comes to speakers, I bet the very first thing that comes to mind for most of you are the likes of JBL, Sony, or Bose—usually the popular ones. Aside from smartphones, in case you didn’t know, Xiaomi also offers a wide variety of consumer tech products, including some portable loudspeakers like the Xiaomi Sound Party. That said, does it offer a sound quality that’s at least near to what you’d get from premium speakers out there? Speaking of being portable, it is decently compact, having a width not taller than a ruler (at 255 mm), and weighing only about 1.2 kg. For something we got at around Php2,700 (retail price is PHP 4,699), the sound quality here is legitimately impressive, and what surprised me most is that it never gave off that “pwede na” kind of experience that budget speakers usually have. If I have to choose, would I pick this over premium JBL or Bose speakers? It’s a portable, outdoor-ready speaker that weighs around 1.2kg and is designed for easy carrying with a hidden handle. Marshall's latest speakers with Google Assistant, the Marshall Uxbridge Voice, are now available in the Philippines.
