MIATONEBluetooth Speakers 36W Portable Speaker with Stereo Sound Bass, Bluetooth 5.3 Wireless USB Type C Outdoor, 5000mAh 24H Playtime IPX7 Waterproof, Color Lights Speaker (Black)

The media could not be loaded. I'm on a tight budget and wanted something small with the best sound I could find. I LOVE this little thing. It competes directly with the JBL flip 6, which I've never heard in person. And other similar sized speakers like the Anker Soundcore speakers. It has a 5000 mAh battery, bluetooth 5.3, USB C charging, waterproof, and feels solid. I'm gonna leave a pretty descriptive review because it's worth it.LOUDNESSGood considering the size. It's exactly the size of a tall boy beer can. My parents have an Amazon Alexa Echo Show 8 in their kitchen and it's pretty loud. You have to yell to hear each other over it. This Miatone just about matches it in volume. There's a youtube review that said it matches the Anker Soundcore Boost in volume too. No distortion at max volume, stays pretty balanced but it sounds best around 50 - 75%.This isn't really a speaker you buy for loudness though, it's a speaker you buy for great sound quality in the smallest package possible. You can go bigger and get more volume and bass but this thing doesn't really compromise on sound quality at a lower volumes. Anything smaller or cheaper and the sound quality goes downhill fast. Think pocket radios. This thing blows pocket radios right out of the water the same way a pocket radio blows a phone speaker away.SOUNDEXCELLENT. This is what I was looking for. A tiny speaker that I can conviently pack around anywhere that has accurate sound. This speaker has a seperate woofer and tweeter so it has a nice balanced clean clear sound. The bass might leave a little to be desired, sure, but the mids and highs are great and it's pretty balanced. The bass is louder on the Echo Show 8 but the Miatone sounds better. A youtube guy said his Soundcore Boost has louder bass but this one sounds better, which makes sense because both of those speakers have two full range speakers which means all frequencies come out of both speakers. They boost the bass but the sound gets muffled. The Miatone has a much cleaner more proper sound.The bass does not go as low as a real subwoofer. I downloaded a frequency generator and it drops off around 55 - 60 Hz. The JBL flip 6 is advertised to go down to 63 Hz so you can't complain one bit. They probably limit the woofer with the software to prevent damage. Even the JBL Charge 5 only goes down to 60 Hz and it's way bigger! It surely has louder bass, but it's not going much lower than this one, if at all. When you have this speaker sitting next to you you can actually feel the bass in your chest. If you start to walk away from it you can still hear the bass but the feeling goes away quickly. If I leave it in a room and close the door, I can feel it with my hand on the wall so it does have bass, just nothing that will blow your mind. And since it rolls off around 60 Hz it's not going to be good for people who like old gangster rap or electronic bass heavy type music. It just can't do those sub bass frequencies and won't have overpowering booming bass. Certain rap songs will totally miss those ultra low bass notes. Bass drums almost always sound good but can be kind of empty on particular electronic tracks. Regular bass guitar riffs do come through loud and clear.The passive radiators aren't a gimmick either. It's too small for a bass port hole so the radiators simulate a bigger box. There's science behind it if you research it. They're as stiff as real speakers so you can see in my video it really cranks the juice lol!This speaker is highly affected by being placed next to a wall. It doesn't matter in what orientation, just close to a wall or corner makes it sound a lot boomier. Probably because of the passive radiators. Also, I'm using an equalizer app to slightly boost the lower frequencies and that really helps. It handles it fine. So when I put it next to a wall it's like listening to a much bigger system.BATTERYGOOD. I used a USB C tester to check it. It has a battery pack inside with 2 18650 cells. I seem to be at about 5000 mAh. Takes about 2.5 hours to charge from 10%. It does charge at 2 amps so get a good charger. Towards the very end it drops to 1 amp and then slowly drops more and more to about .4 amps until it's done charging. When it's done charging it cuts off the current completely.It actually sends my phone a notification when it hits 10% and at that point it limits the volume to very low. This is really really cool because I care about my batteries and never want to drain them too low. That's bad for them. It makes an audible tone in the speaker, and the notification on your phone so you can't miss it. LOVE this. It even turns itself off if unused for like ten minutes. The instructions say it turns itself off if you ignore the 10% notification for too long but I won't test that. And it does work while charging but the instructions say that's not good for the battery and if you do it then it should have at least 30%. I'm sure it's fine for low volumes.I left it on at exactly 75% volume and it lasted about 7 hours. 75% is loud so I have no doubt it can hit the 16 hours as advertised with normal comfortable volumes. With the LED off.FEELGREAT. The whole thing is covered in a very nice feeling mesh fabric of some kind. It feels soft but very durable. It has something rigid behind it like probably a metal grill. I can't easily dent or squish it with my fingers. It doesn't move or wiggle or wrinkle or anything, it's just perfect. High quality. The end caps are a very hard rubber. You can sqeeze the rubber so you know it's rubber, but it's very hard like a car tire maybe but very soft and silky to the touch. Very nice. The buttons are nice and clicky. The lanyard loop feels solid.The buttons are slightly concave with little lines in between them so you can feel your way up and down the buttons if you have to. They're far apart enough to learn where they are in relation to the body when you look at it from the speaker side.LED LIGHTSCool! They can either fade through the colors or pulse through the colors. I really wish they could pulse to the music but if they had to cut any corners that's the first thing I want them to cut to keep the price low. Very nice looking lights but I think they probably do impact the battery life so I keep them off. Every time you turn the speaker on it defaults to the lights being on which is kind of annoying. They really do highlight the passive radiators though lol.CONCLUSIONSound is hard to describe but I'm very happy with it. Rock music sounds amazing. As long as you keep your expectations of volume and bass realistic, I think it sounds GREAT. What a steal at 40 bucks. Great job, Miatone. Great little speaker. Thank you!

It does its job well and battery lasts quite long. The bass is pretty good but the higher tones are a bit lacking. It’s definitely so much better than playing music from your phone’s speakers but don’t set the expectations too high. Overall, it’s amazing for the price, feels pretty lightweight, and the color is so cute!

Nice case, functional, the charge lasts hours and the sound is clear and the volume also reaches high level. Very good value for money. I am satisfied with the purchase.

I have e been using this speaker for several months. It has a "glitch" in the sound that I have been trying to resolve. The battery life is good. It connects quickly.The sound is there, except for the "glitch" that happens about every 20 -25 seconds.

Works great. Good price

If I had written this yesterday, I would’ve given 5 stars. Today however, I was listening to music, and then out of nowhere the speaker starts making this LOUD buzzing sound.What’s worse, I CAN’T GET IT TO TURN OFF. None of the buttons are functioning! 5 min before everything was great, sounded great, working normally. Now - I’ve had to put it in the other room in between 2 bags of fabric to preserve my sanity.I’ve tried all of the buttons, holding down the power button, disabling bluetooth, etc… and nothing works. I can’t enable bluetooth again either.I went to Miatone’s website to see what could be done - they said U have to register the product first, so I filled out the form, and when I hit the “submit” button, it took me to one of their social media links, because the damn button was overlayed by the link!!?!At this point I should probably mention that this is my 2nd one of these Miatone speakers.The first one I bought in December 2020 & it was a slightly older model that had the stupid mini USB charging port, which broke in March 2024. That’s when I bought this one, the newer, upgraded model w/ a C-type charging port (which in my experience is WAY less likely to fail).I had been VERY happy w/ my purchase of this newer model until today - it sounded better than the previous model, has a longer lasting battery, and it was about the same price as the previous model.I was even thinking about getting a second one so I could use them @ the same time, cause that’s a cool feature.I don’t even mind the battery-draining lights, cause U can turn them off by pressing the power button twice briefly.Now I’m sadly without music, and miffed that this company doesn’t value their customers enough to even make it possible to successfully register your product on their website.I filled out a contact form (that I was actually able to submit) briefly explaining the problem. We’ll see if I even hear back from them…..

This product works as expected. Fantastic for taking to the lake or just chilling when you need a small speaker or nothing huge it’s a great sound provides Bluetooth and multi speaker connectivity with the same brand.

Well allow me to say this, I was fixing to purchase a JBL Flip 6, after I ordered a rienok speaker due to a fabricated description of the speaker.A friend who purchased weeks before stated that I would better off purchasing the Boom Pro due to sound quality, battery life and pairing. That I could purchase (2) Miatone Boom pros pushing 72w between the two for less than (1) flip 6.I am very happy with the item and give it ☆☆☆☆☆☆6 stars.
