Review: Xiaomi Sound Outdoor is one of the best
With IP67 ingress protection and powerful 30W sound, the Sound Outdoor is designed to be used anywhere.
The Xiaomi Sound Outdoor Speaker delivers a commendable audio performance, particularly when used indoors. The woofer and passive radiators work their magic, producing a powerful and dynamic sound that can easily fill a room. Even at maximum volume, the audio remains distortion-free, a testament to the speaker's robust engineering.
Xiaomi claims a battery life of 12 hours for the Sound Outdoor Speaker when played at 50% volume. This is in line with expectations for a speaker of this size and class. In my testing, the speaker consistently met this claim, providing ample playtime for a day's worth of entertainment.
A protective flap safeguards the USB-C port used for charging. Notably, the Sound Outdoor Speaker lacks an auxiliary input, limiting its connectivity to Bluetooth-enabled devices. The Xiaomi Sound Outdoor Speaker delivers a commendable audio performance, particularly when used indoors.
This claim is true if you don't push the speaker beyond the 50% volume level. During the review period, we used the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor speaker between 70-80% volume level and got 8-10 hours of playtime out of it. It takes up to 2.5 hours to fully charge the speaker.
