Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Huawei AM10

  • Good sound quality with decent stereo output and bass response for its size
  • Versatile audio sources with support for Bluetooth, AUX input, and a MicroSD card slot
  • Includes a built-in noise-cancelling microphone for hands-free speakerphone calls
  • Features a clear physical battery level indicator with dedicated LED displays
  • Excellent value for money, especially after historical price reductions

What customers don't like about Huawei AM10

  • Lacks any formal water resistance or waterproof rating
  • Flat control buttons match the case colour exactly, making them hard to distinguish by feel alone
  • The physical layout requires an extra button press to check the battery status
  • Voice prompt accents can sound lower-quality or difficult to understand
  • Considered slightly heavy and bulky compared to some newer ultra-portable competitors

Verdict

The Huawei AM10 Color Cube is a portable wireless speaker featuring dual full-range drivers providing 2 x 4W stereo sound output with a frequency response of 75Hz-15KHz, a maximum volume of 80dB, and DSP noise reduction for hands-free speakerphone calls. Its main pros include versatile connectivity through Bluetooth 3.0, a microSD card slot, and a 3.5mm AUX jack, combined with a 1200mAh battery offering over 5 hours of playtime and a dedicated LED power indicator. However, its main cons include an outdated Bluetooth 3.0 version, a long battery charging time of up to 4.5 hours, a lack of official water resistance, and flat onboard buttons that can be difficult to identify by touch alone.
