Third-party reviews

What customers like about Zolo Mojo

  • Good sound quality with surprising clarity and loudness for its small size
  • Compact and lightweight footprint that easily fits on desks, shelves, or countertops
  • Straightforward initial setup using the companion application
  • Convenient physical touch controls on top for adjusting volume and music playback
  • Dual connectivity options supporting both Wi-Fi streaming and standard Bluetooth pairing
  • Responsive far-field microphones that pick up voice commands reliably across a room

What customers don't like about Zolo Mojo

  • Requires being plugged into an AC wall adapter constantly due to the lack of a built-in rechargeable battery
  • Lacks complete feature compatibility with Google Assistant, missing options like hands-free phone calling
  • Weak low-end bass performance that leaves much to be desired for bass-heavy tracks
  • No built-in physical or application-based equalizer controls to adjust bass and treble settings
  • Vulnerable to software configuration errors and connectivity drops within multi-room home groups
  • Subsequent software updates from the host platform have been reported to break smart assistant functionality entirely

Verdict

The Zolo Mojo (Model Z6010) by Anker is a compact smart speaker measuring 93 x 68 x 68 mm and weighing 312 grams, equipped with a 1.7-inch (43.2 mm) full-range driver delivering 5W of audio output power and a frequency response of 60 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Main characteristics include dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz), Bluetooth connectivity, two far-field microphones, built-in Google Assistant and Chromecast for multi-room synchronization, and responsive top touch controls with a dedicated physical microphone mute button. Key pros highlight its clear vocal delivery, steady volume output with minimal distortion due to an overhung voice coil, and a precision-engineered bass port that improves low-end frequencies compared to similar tiny alternatives. However, notable cons include its lack of an internal rechargeable battery—requiring a constant connection via a proprietary power adapter to operate—sluggish touch control responses, an inability to support phone calls, and diminished support over time for its original smart/Wi-Fi ecosystems.
