Review: Great sound, great battery life and includes aux in option. - Looks good with great sound and build quality. I was specifically looking for a speaker with an aux in port as well as Bluetooth. It’s surprisingly hard to find out whether other brands support aux in when looking on line so I was delighted to find this. (See aux in caveat at end of review) I also wanted really good sound quality as this is my primary music system, I live off grid and wanted something that could be charged off a 12v system. I listen to a wide variety of music and this is really great across the board. Good bass when required but not overbearing. I haven’t listened to spoken word much on it but prob wouldn’t get this if that will be your main concern. I haven’t gone for the subwoofer but in my small space this is more than powerful enough. It was bigger than I expected, I prob wouldn’t want to carry it around as a general thing. If I was looking for an everyday portable speaker that wasn’t my main system I’d look at the smaller one, I haven’t heard it myself but it gets good reviews. It comes in an annoyingly nice box that I can’t bring myself to throw away! It also has a soft case with a net top. I’ve kept it in this when using outside as a bit of protection. I opened the top when playing music but expect it would be fine with the top closed. Battery life is great, I haven’t had to charge it yet. It also connects really easily. I’ve not really used Bluetooth before but it was very straight forward. It didn’t have instructions with it which was a bit annoying, a quick search online solved any questions I had though. It also came with various cables and a lanyard. Included is a cable allowing you plug a usb in to charge your phone at the same time as listening to music, very handy given that Bluetooth rinses my phone battery quickly. One small downside for me is that the volume was limited when using aux in. I tried it with my phone and an iPod with aux in. In both cases the volume couldn’t go as loud as I’d like. I’m guessing this is because the device assumes it’s going to earphones which are always limited so as not to damage your ears. Aux in still played at a very useable volume for general use, just not for those occasions when you want to blast a song out. With Bluetooth I could play it as loud as I’d like.
Review: I doubt if this speaker would disappoint you - I've long been a fan of British hi-fi. Since the 70's I have spent more money than I really should have on a who's who of equipment, from the likes of Sugden, Quad, Naim and Rogers. My affection isn't scientific, I simply believe that the same recording can sound quite mundane, or on the other hand, blow your socks off, depending on the equipment used. Some years ago, I sold everything. I was hard up, and listening anyway mostly on headphones. The stereo system was wasted in our small terraced house. But I wanted something for those few occasions when some loud music might be needed. Such as 50th birthday, 60th birthday...I won't go on. I walked over to Minirig, in their former premises in Stokes Croft, in Bristol, and took home a three unit set up. I was very impressed, although I did return them. I bought some Audioengine speakers instead, as they were less fiddly to set up, but it was a very close thing. Recently I've been hosting music quizzes, and wanting portability. So I bought one speaker, that being all I can currently afford. My impressions: Superb build quality, in the true tradition of British hi-fi. The slightly industrial appearance is so well tempered by a curious elegance. Quite different to the plethora of plastic, over designed speakers that I'd considered. The minimalistic approach appeals to me greatly, although there is a bit of a learning curve. I did screenshots of the online manual, dropped them into Photoshop, reduced the size and printed out five A4 sheets of instructions. Hardly eco...I would have preferred a round, folding booklet to have been included, something that I might keep in the carry case. But I guess that most owners will glance over the online instructions and remember them for life. The sound threw me a little. Distinctly mono, obviously, but boomy and boxy. Mercifully, I was able to improve this enormously by tweaking (and locking!) the eq using the Minirig app. Thereafter, the speaker performed well, across all ranges, not suffering anywhere that I could notice, not in the treble, nor the mids nor the the bass. Clarity was very good, I could hear separate voices and instruments. Altogether enjoyable across quite a range of music. The speaker is revealing enough to betray poorer recordings, such as the remastered Dark Side of the Moon, but Alabaster Deplume's 'To Cy and Lee' was very sweet. I would love to try a two speaker setup, and one day perhaps, a subwoofer, but my piggy bank is currently depleted. It did occur to me that Minirig might consider extending their multiple purchase discount to help the less well heeled. Perhaps if a second unit were purchased within say, six months? I have used this speaker in both wired and bluetooth situations. I would never buy a speaker that had no aux, as I don't entirely trust Bluetooth. It can be very frustrating sometimes, I find. But it has performed flawlessly on the Minirig, using my iPhone, Bluetooth version 5, and my older iPod, version 4. I have also plugged the speaker into the headphone socket of our TV, and the improvement in sound over the inbuilt speakers is quite amazing. There are some quite scientific reviews of the Minirig online, I hope my essentially layman's attempt is of some use. One niggle, or maybe not: my receipt carried a request to post a review, which is fine. But it suggested a five star review, which isn't. Unless Minirig have their tongue in their cheek, in which case all is forgiven. Certainly not enough to affect my rating, and I should point out that my four star rating for sound is a little unfair, as I'm reviewing a mono speaker against my stereo mindset.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have not heard a better portable bluetooth speaker at any price
*by B***H on 5 April 2020*

I initially sent this back as the seal had been broken and it looked as I had received a returned item. However after buying directly from Minirig, I could not be more pleased. I spent ages in my research after being being disappointed with a Megaboom speaker I had in the past. The design is neat and compact and it feels robust . A single button does it all but the app, which I have found to be excellent, provides greater versatility and adds functionality. The on/off tone is brief and gentle as opposed to some loud fanfares other makes provide. The sound is outstanding for a single speaker of this size. That is, I do not think it is quite Hifi quality but it does provide a non fatiguing enjoyment of music with clarity and detail across the frequency range. That includes a tuneful bass which has a real kick. Volume is also excellent filling a room to party levels. It does not become harsh when loud but still sounds lively and full at lower volume levels. It comes with a case which fits snuggly and offers a level of extra protection. Flip the lid back and it can be operated while still in the case. In the lid of the case it has storage for the charging lead (and it also came with a lanyard and sticker as token accessories). I did purchased a longer charging lead (third party) with a plug only at the USB end (instead of the plug socket arrangement it comes with). This brings me finally to battery life. Quite simply nothing beats it. My phone is charged again and again before I need to even think about charging the speaker. Thoroughly recommended.
