Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Huawei Mini Speaker

  • Extremely compact and lightweight design makes it highly portable and pocket-friendly.
  • Surprisingly loud volume and deep, punchy bass for its small 3W footprint.
  • Stereo pairing capability allows two units to connect for an immersive audio experience.
  • Excellent value for money, offering premium brand reliability at an affordable price point.
  • Basic IP54 water and dust resistance provides sufficient protection for daily outdoor or shower use.
  • Simple, minimalist design featuring a straightforward single-button operation.

What customers don't like about Huawei Mini Speaker

  • Short battery life of only around 3 to 4 hours on a single charge.
  • Lacks independent volume buttons on the device, requiring adjustments through a connected phone.
  • Relies on an outdated micro-USB port for charging rather than a modern USB-C connection.
  • Mid-range sound performance can feel a bit muted or unexpressive for certain genres like rock.
  • Lacks a built-in microphone, preventing its use as a hands-free speakerphone.
  • No NFC quick-pairing or multi-point connection capabilities.

Verdict

The Huawei Mini Speaker (CM510) is an ultra-portable Bluetooth 4.2 speaker that packs a 3W full-range driver (ø40 mm) and a built-in bottom passive radiator into a compact ø50 x 56.3 mm metallic body weighing just 101 grams. Its main characteristics and advantages include an IPX4 water-resistance rating, a minimalist one-button layout with a helpful status indicator, and the ability to pair with a second unit for True Wireless Stereo sound. Powered by a 660 mAh battery, it delivers roughly 4 hours of playtime on a 2.5-hour charge and comes with an included braided lanyard for enhanced portability. However, its notable drawbacks include an outdated Micro-USB charging port instead of USB-C, a relatively short battery life compared to larger alternatives, and the lack of advanced smart features or companion app control.
