Verdict

The Vifa Reykjavik is an ultra-compact, pebble-shaped portable Bluetooth speaker measuring 65 mm in height, 139 mm in diameter, and weighing 0.6 kg, crafted with premium anodized aluminum and custom Kvadrat textile. It features a 3-channel digital amplifier with a DSP crossover driving a 3-driver setup—consisting of two 19 mm fabric dome tweeters and one 88 mm aluminum cone woofer—to deliver a precise, omnidirectional 360-degree soundstage with a frequency response of 62 Hz to 20 kHz. Main advantages include a rich, spacious audio profile, stereo-pairing capabilities with a second unit, dual noise-canceling microphones for speakerphone use, and versatile connectivity including a 3.5 mm AUX input, USB playback, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. However, significant cons include its basic IPX4 splash resistance which limits rugged outdoor use, a higher price point compared to feature-rich competitors, and a lack of smart assistant integration or native smartphone app customization.

  • Exceptionally clear, high-resolution mid-range and crisp treble frequencies
  • Elegant, compact Scandinavian aesthetic featuring premium materials like Kvadrat wool and anodised aluminium
  • Seamless dual-pairing capabilities to configure two units into a true wireless stereo system
  • Highly reliable battery performance that retains its charge during long idle periods
  • Convenient, highly portable pebble-like shape complete with an integrated leather carrying strap

What customers dislike about Vifa Reykjavik?

  • Noticeable roll-off and lack of punchy sub-bass frequencies on the initial stock firmware
  • Firmware updates to enhance bass performance can only be executed using a Windows computer
  • Noticeable audio-to-video synchronization lag when paired in stereo mode during video playback
  • Relatively high price tag compared to rugged outdoor portable speakers with similar functionality
  • Complete lack of a standard waterproof or weatherised IP rating for environmental protection
  • Absence of smart home features, voice assistants, or dedicated mobile application EQ customisation
  • Audio can feel weak or thin when deployed in large, open outdoor environments at maximum volume
