Third-party reviews

What customers like about Xiaomi Sound Pro

  • Powerful 55W sound with deep, authoritative sub-bass response
  • Stunning 360-degree omnidirectional audio with a 7-unit acoustic setup
  • Premium, modern aesthetic featuring a transparent dome design
  • Dynamic, ambient RGB lighting effects that sync with the music
  • Excellent value for money, competing well against more expensive brands
  • Convenient wireless features like seamless UWB and Bluetooth connectivity

What customers don't like about Xiaomi Sound Pro

  • Not a truly mobile portable speaker due to its large size and reliance on a mains power plug
  • Limited global software support, as some smart features and the XiaoAI voice assistant are region-locked to China
  • Lacks standard physical audio connections like a 3.5mm AUX jack
  • No built-in carry case, pouch, or handle for easy transit

Verdict

The Xiaomi Sound Pro is a high-fidelity smart speaker featuring a 7-unit acoustic configuration, which includes a 4-inch 40W subwoofer, three 1.5-inch 5W full-range speakers, and three passive radiators delivering a total rated power of 55W and 91dB of sound pressure. Its primary advantages are an immersive 360-degree omnidirectional sound field professionally tuned with HARMAN AudioEFX, a visually striking dynamic RGB galaxy atmosphere lighting system, and versatile connectivity via Bluetooth 5.1, dual-band Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, and a 3.5mm AUX input. However, its main disadvantages include a reliance on a mains power connection due to the lack of a built-in battery, and limited smart assistant functionality outside of China since its native XiaoAI voice assistant does not natively support English platforms like Google Assistant or Alexa.
