The design is simple yet refined: a circular shape with a fabric front grille and a glossy band that adds a touch of elegance. It weighs about the same as an apple, making it perfect for carrying anywhere. Xiaomi also includes a removable metal hook, useful for attaching it to backpacks, bags, or belt loops.
From a technical standpoint, the Redmi Bluetooth Speaker 2 features a 1,5-inch 5W full-range driver paired with a large passive radiator. This combination promises enhanced bass and balanced sound, ideal for casual listening or dynamic environments. Two speakers can be paired to create a wireless stereo system.
Battery life is guaranteed by a 1.000mAh battery, which offers up to 5 hours of playback. Charging is via USB-C, and the device can also function as a USB sound card when connected to a computer. Additionally, there is a microSD slot for direct music playback, without the need for a smartphone.
Robustness is another strong point: the Redmi Bluetooth Speaker 2 is IP67 certified, meaning it's resistant to rain, splashes, and dust, making it perfect for hiking, beaches, or outdoor environments. Connectivity is handled by Bluetooth 5.3, which ensures stability and low power consumption.
