In both cases, the speakers are completed with documentation in Chinese, which is understandable to most inhabitants of planet Earth.
Type of packaging and equipment Xiaomi Square Box
The box of the more budget-friendly Square Box Bluetooth Speaker also contains a manual in Ukrainian from the xiaomi.ua store.
Type of packaging and equipment Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Speaker
A pleasant surprise - Mi Bluetooth Speaker is wrapped in a soft case. Strangely, both speakers come without a USB charging cable.
Design
The models are similar in appearance - rectangular body, metal construction. But if the Mi Bluetooth Speaker has aluminum everywhere except the sides, then the Square Box Bluetooth Speaker has a metal edging, and the front and back are made of matte plastic.
Xiaomi Square Box
Of course, the more expensive Mi Bluetooth Speaker looks better, but the second speaker also looks pretty good. Two speakers are hidden under the perforation, at the bottom of which there is a Mi logo.
Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Speaker
Mi Bluetooth Speaker is available in several colors - blue, gold and pink. Square Box Bluetooth Speaker only comes in one - white with silver sides.
Connectivity, functionality
The Square Box Bluetooth Speaker sports a power/pause/pairing button, an indicator, and a Micro USB port on the right side.
Connectors and controls Xiaomi Square Box
The older brother is more serious - on the right side there are power/pause, volume up and down buttons, as well as a pairing button. On the left there is a 3.5 mm mini-jack connector, a microphone, Micro USB and a slot for microSD memory cards.
Connectors and controls Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Speaker
Xiaomi Square Box Bluetooth Speaker is a classic option, without any additional “goodies”. But Mi Bluetooth Speaker can be used as a speakerphone. True, the latter was pasted “for change” and it is impossible to have a normal conversation - the interlocutor’s voice is poorly distinguishable, and yours is transmitted with a lot of noise. Thanks to the memory card slot, you can listen to music directly from microSD. On the Mi Bluetooth Speaker, all notifications, be it switching on or battery charge level status, are voiced in Chinese, and the name of the speaker in the list of paired Bluetooth devices is displayed in hieroglyphs.
Ergonomics, scope of use
Due to their minimal size, weight and oblong shape, the speakers can be carried even in your pants pocket. No one will have any problems with transportation. The models are suitable for hikes, picnics, beaches and other similar events. To be honest, the home mini-system that comes out of the speakers is just so-so. It’s a pity that there is no possibility of combining two speakers, as is implemented in products from JBL and Ultimate Ears.
Sound
Each of the speakers earns their money, but since they are in different price ranges, the requirements for them are different.
Xiaomi Square Box Bluetooth Speaker tries hard to produce clear sound at minimum volume, with pleasant but not dominant bass. As the volume increases, the signal becomes distorted and noticeable “sand” and crackling appear. The maximum decibel level is quite high - it would be better to play quieter, but cleaner.
With Mi Bluetooth Speaker the difference is noticeable at the first listen. No crackling or “sand” at high volumes, pleasant and elastic bass, sufficient detail for such a little thing. In general, it’s quite good - this is truly one of the most “playing” speakers for this kind of money.
Autonomy
Both small boomboxes have a built-in battery: the younger one is 1200 mAh, the older one is 1500 mAh. The autonomy is approximately the same and is about 10 hours when listening to music via Bluetooth at medium volume. The charging time for the speakers is also almost the same - about 2-2.5 hours when using a 2 A network adapter.
Cost, competitors
Xiaomi Square Box Bluetooth Speaker has practically no competitors in its price range (we don’t consider faceless China), there is only a good JBL GO– it is more functional (it has a 3.5 mm mini-jack, a microphone, and a charging cable included), but it holds a charge almost half as much and has one speaker. In terms of sound quality, the creation from JBL is several notches higher.
Mi Bluetooth Speaker has gathered more competitors around it:
Results
Xiaomi feels the market and knows what the buyer needs. The brand’s products meet the optimality criterion (price/quality), which is why many people have fallen in love with devices with the Mi logo in just a couple of years. The speakers in question do not represent anything extraordinary - they lack innovation and advanced developments. But they play well and are well equipped for their price. Xiaomi Square Box Bluetooth Speaker has only one drawback - poor sound at maximum volume. Well, in Mi Bluetooth Speaker I would like to hear notifications in English at least.

The editors thank the store Xiaomi.ua for providing columns for review Mi Bluetooth Speaker And Xiaomi Square Box
Those who consider themselves music lovers and value quality taste will love the Xiaomi portable speaker. This manufacturer's lineup includes several models, including the miniature Square Box 2, which has dimensions slightly larger than a smartphone.
Technologies and capabilities of Xiaomi bluetooth speakers
Xiaomi wireless speaker, depending on the model, supports different data transfer profiles. Among them:
- HFP. Thanks to it, the device is connected to the phone and used as a Hands Free headset. HFP supports mono audio transmission.
- A2DP. Thanks to it, the Xiaomi Bluetooth speaker plays audio from a device connected to it (tablet, phone, etc.). This protocol supports the transmission of two-channel audio streams and various codecs. This ensures high-quality sound.
- AVRCP. Thanks to it, any wireless bluetooth speaker offered by Xiaomi supports remote control of various functions of the device paired with it (answering calls, adjusting the volume, etc.).
All wireless speakers produced by Xiaomi support the bluetooth interface. It is characterized by high data transfer speeds and low power consumption. Thanks to this, a fairly long operating time of the devices is ensured. The range of action for the devices in question is about 10 meters.
For example, the new Xiaomi Square Box 2 speaker is capable of continuous music playback for up to 8 hours. And the round portable Bluetooth speaker from Xiaomi has an even larger reserve. Its claimed battery life for audio playback is 12 hours.
Xiaomi speaker: it's worth buying because of the sound
The manufacturer pays due attention to the quality and intensity of sound. High sound quality is ensured through the use of digital echo and noise reduction circuits, as well as powerful sound processing chips responsible for removing interference and purity.
Another reason why you should buy a Xiaomi speaker is the body material. In all models it is metal. Thanks to this, it is possible to ensure high strength and resistance to external factors. Among the undeniable advantages of products from this category (be it a Xiaomi bluetooth speaker or another model) is cost. In its price segment, this equipment has no equal in sound quality and range of functions.

Entering the field of portable Bluetooth speakers has become a good idea in terms of profit for the company. The manufacturer brought a lot of fresh ideas to the market and began to dictate its trends, at least with design. Let's consider popular, popular models of wireless Bluetooth speaker systems.
Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Speaker
One of the largest Xiaomi speakers, with 4 speakers and powerful bass. At the same time, it has small dimensions. The Bluetooth system is a parallelepiped painted in bright colors. There are special holes made inside the metal case through which sound passes.
The Bluetooth speaker is reliable - thanks to its solid body, the device will withstand a fall from a human height. The speaker has a wireless Bluetooth system, connectors for AUX input. Xiaomi Bluetooth speakers can be used with a phone, as well as with another player: player, tablet, computer, etc. when a column is needed in a static format.
Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Speaker 2
The second generation of Bluetooth speakers from the Xiaomi brand. This time the company has redesigned the product, making it more round with one output for the speakers - at the top. There are several buttons on the body of the Bluetooth stereo system. The role of control keys is played by the upper moving part. The device is made in such a way that it fits into most holders and mounts. Coupled with an unusual control system, this makes Xiaomi Bluetooth ideal for sports or outdoor activities. 
Portable Bluetooth acoustics Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Speaker Mini
One of the smallest, lightest and cheapest. It fits in the palm of your hand and weighs 100 grams. Such acoustics will fit even in a handbag or pocket, which is convenient. 
Xiaomi Square Box
The small, inexpensive Square Box Bluetooth stereo system surprises with its quality and depth of sound. The speaker follows the traditions of the first Xiaomi devices; it has a rectangular shape, which is why it is called a box. The main advantages are autonomy and a single control button. In this case, the Bluetooth device fits in one hand or pocket and is similar in size to a telephone.

We recommended that you take a closer look at the Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Speaker - they said it was a very interesting option. Well, why not, I thought, take a closer look, because the last time I dealt with wireless speakers was two or three years ago, so it was interesting to see what kind of progress there is on this front. And I like all sorts of gadgets from Xiaomi and I try to buy and study them. I ordered it on Ali, and the thing is apparently very popular, because, among other things, there is delivery from warehouses in Russia, Spain and France. The only thing was that I had to figure out which version to order. In addition to the Chinese version, there is also a European version, in English, but, as it was written there, the European version does not support a memory card, but the Chinese version does. Well, to hell with it, I thought - and ordered the Chinese version, because even if the speaker mutters in Chinese (I’m even starting to understand something), but it supports a memory card - this is quite important. I arrived just a couple of days later and started looking closely. Packaging showing the different color options of this speaker. (I chose turquoise.) The speaker itself. By the way, the equipment there is interesting - just a speaker and that’s it. There is not even a USB-microUSB wiring for charging it. A kind of asceticism. No, these wires are like dirt, but still, Margarita Pallna... 
We compare it with a smartphone to assess the scale. 
Two rubber strips are glued to the bottom of the speaker so that the speaker stands firmly on the surface. On the left side there is an audio input for a wired source connection, a microphone (the speaker can work as a headset), a microUSB port for charging the battery, a slot for a microSD memory card. 
On the right side there is a “play/pause” button, also known as power on/off, volume control buttons (they are also the previous/next track when long pressed), and a Bluetooth pairing button. 
There is a color indicator around the power button: when the device is charging, it lights up red, when the speaker is charging, it lights up blue. 
Inside the speaker there are two speakers and a bass radiator (as it says there). 
I paired it with my smartphone and turned on the music. I was impressed, to be honest. The maximum volume is very high (notably higher than any speaker I've ever owned), and the quality is excellent for a speaker of this size. And even at maximum volume there is no wheezing or rattling. Very good and quite detailed highs, dense mids and absolutely amazing bass for such a little thing - the radiator is pumping with might and main! The manufacturer claims that the stereo sound volume here is up to 90 dB. This is enough to “pump up” a small conference room. I recorded a video to give at least some idea of how she plays. The only complaint is that the speaker does not support apt-X. But at the same time, the quality of wireless music playback is quite high. One battery charge, according to the manufacturer, is enough for 8 hours of playback. User experience shows that at average volume the battery actually lasts for 4-5 hours. There is a slot for a memory card, that is, the speaker itself is a media player, so you can play audio tracks directly, without any wireless connection. The speaker only supports MP3, but this is quite enough in this case - the tea is not Hi-End. I recorded audio tracks, checked - yes, everything plays fine, it also understands folders. Tracks can be scrolled through using the buttons on the speaker. In general, it’s a good thing, I liked it. On Ali with delivery from a Russian warehouse it costs
