Best Smaller Bluetooth Speaker

I have a MI speaker, and Jbl Tuner.
The sound of the MI is great.
The big, big letdown I have with the MI speaker is the battery life (which is quite ironic since I experienced the exact opposite with their phones).
But the speaker battery is really bad. Like borderline horrible. I don't understand how they opt for such a small battery for such a big speaker.
It comes standard with an 2600mAh, In my opinion it should have come with at least a 5200mAh.
2 hours of music next to the braai and it's dead...
I bought a 20000mAh battery bank which is now a dedicated battery pack for the speaker.
I'm happy with the price and the sound is good. MI in general is a quality brand. But won't by another speaker unless they upgrade the battery.

That's weird, mine lasts hours, you sure you didn't get a dud?

The Xiaomi speakers are on 'special' today for R650 on Takealot (Black and Blue). Tempted to grab 2 as gifts.
 
JBL have been worth the money. Small square ones are brilliant Jbl go I think. I have the flip 4&5 aswell as their blue tooth head phones.The Jbl go are decent prezzies.
 
Now to burn in the new bad boy. :cool:

Pairing is seamless.

My only gripe with these speakers is that the feet become sticky over time. I keep them on tissues as a result… The new one’s feet are sticky out of the box.

At first listen (Imogen Heap – Happy Song), there is far more detail in stereo mode.

I wish you could make Deep Bass stick instead of having to enable it each time.

Oh, and disable all of the voice confirmations.

Well I just learnt something new, and I use mine all the time.... What button changes the EQ?
