MINIRIG 3 Portable Rechargeable Bluetooth Speaker - 100 Hour Battery - Loud Hi-Fi Sound - Black

This is a big "small" speaker that makes a noise much, much bigger and fuller than it's size. Sound quality: bass is surprisingly true, mid-bass (male baritone voice) is absolutely tremendous, upper mids are fine, upper range is a little veiled (they sell a separate subwoofer; I wish they actually offered a complementary tweeter). Can go VERY loud on the louder setting, which tapers off the bass as it gets louder so the speaker doesn't blow up. I use it for large-room presentations and if you look away you'd expect it to be a rather large PA speaker, though the sound is cleaner. For music and smaller rooms I use the lower setting because the sound is more balanced. There's an app that's used to drive the settings (loudness, equalizer, etc), which is surprisingly useful and fun. It's got a large internal battery which can be used to charge external devices like your phone. Connections are a little bit custom (not USB on the input side) so I bought replacement adapters to be able to use the conventional USB cables I travel with. Now, should you spend this much money on a bluetooth speaker? For my application (travel/presentations) it was totally worth it - small, powerful, and accurate. For music, it's really darn good. (There's a German fellow on You Tube who has run many comparisons; totally worth checking out). The sound is just short of audiophile, which is sooo frustrating. The slightly lifeless high end is surprising since that's kind of the easiest thing to get right in a small speaker. For male voice, it may be your favorite speaker you've ever owned (I've owned some good ones). In the end, the execution (design/app) is brilliant, the sound is very good - but could be stupendous. I hope the developers take this as a kind of compliment and a goal. If you've got the $ and you want to own a device that is designed with such attention, intelligence and commitment that you feel like you have a personal relationship with the developers, this one is for you.

These are both great speakers - no frills but focused on producing excellent sound. In my opinion, both are superior to Bose and UE speakers in the same price range, namely around $200. So, which is better. It is a close contest. The Denon is a solid brick of a speaker, about 8" long, square, and very attractive with the grey stripe scheme. Solid in your hand, exudes quality. It has rich, clear sound and surprising bass. Denon is a serious AV company and it shows in this speaker. Really crisp sound, no reliance on acoustic tricks or inflated DSP. Battery life is great. All in all a quality speaker for someone who values premium sound and wants no bells, flashing lights or gimmicks. Now, the minirig 3. I had read glowing reviews, but frankly I was doubtful a single driver in such a small enclosure could put out quality sound. Boy, was I wrong. The minirig 3 has amazing sound. Clear sound with balanced bass. And it can go loud. Louder than the Dennon. Frankly, it is amazing the quality of sound this little speaker puts out. LIke the Denon, it is built like tank. Industrial looking. Only one button, on/off. It also has an app for adjusting the sound, and like the speaker, it is all business. Works well. Comes with a case and charging cord. While the Denon is impressive as you might expect, the minirig will stop you in your tracks with its quality of sound. It simply beats the Denon in all areas in terms of sound. A good competitor for the minirig 3 is the Bose 500 Home Speaker. Side by side the same about the same in terms of bass, soundstage and clarity. Of course, the Bose is over twice as much, four times as big and is not portable. So, if you are on the fence about buying a minirig 3, go to your local Bose store and listen the Bose Home Speaker 500. The minirig compares well to it. Why the minirig 3 is not on more best bluetooth speaker lists baffles me. It trounces my Bose Revolve and Minlink II. UE Booms are also inferior to the minirig 3. It is the best bluetooth speaker I have owned, and I think that ounce for ounce it can compete against any speaker, wired or wireless. Highly recommended.

After much research, I picked the Minirig 3 to replace my Bose Mini that I used for 5 years almost daily. So I wanted a replacement that would sound as good or better. The Minirig 3 is an amazing speaker for it's size. You can play it very loud without the sound distorting. It has a very good range that is clear in the mid range as well as in the trebble range. I have found most speakers these days do not handle the upper trebble very well. So for music with voice and instrumental jazz or classical, it sounds amazing. If you listen to pop music it also sounds great but the bass is more subdued than the Bose mini which always amazed me for its size. However the Bose mini cannot play as loud as the Minirig 3 and definitely distorted when played at high volume. The battery life of the Minirig 3 is way ahead of any other Bluetooth in that size. I have not measured the life of charge but it is in days at medium high volume. I listen to talk radio all day everyday.. Compared to the mini, I had to charge it everyday and lately the battery had declined to where I has only an hour play at best. Build quality: It feel like it is well built. Solid. I really loved the case and land-yard that came with it. It helps prevent any scratch and makes it easy to carry. The Bad: For a fairly newly released speaker, I was very disappointed that they used a jack connector for charging. It uses a special USB adapter /cable that comes with the speaker for charging. They should have used USB C type connector which is very much future proof and here to stay for many years. The jack with the special adaptor cable means if you lose the cable, you will have problems charging. That dramatically reduces the flexibility of using any standard charger cable. The round shape is definitely more awkward than the Bose Mini and it is bigger. Bottom line: Love this speaker and would 100% recommend it. I plan to buy 1 more to play it in Stereo mode and I will also buy the Sub-woofer to get the bass that I feel is missing with the Minirig 3 played alone.

Excelente sonido. Presentación única, y bateria que nunca se acaba...para nada me arrepiento

Suenan muy bien y bastante fuerte para su tamaño, he comprado 2 para ponerlos en stereo y merece la pena, pero merece la pena todavia mas añadirle el minirig sub 2 porque aunque sin el suenan muy bien los graves, teniendo el cuenta el tamaño de estos, al añadirle el sub 2 te das cuenta que es la guinda del pastel y que ya no puedes estar sin el, (aunque depende que tipo de música suelas escuchar, si tiene muchos graves no te vas arrepentir), los medios y agudos son espectaculares. Ademas tengo que decir que uno de los cables de carga de uno de ellos me vino defectuoso, me puse en contacto con ellos y en poco tiempo me enviaron otro sin ningun problema.Estoy muy contento.

Als ich es auspacke macht das Teil einen hochwertigen Eindruck! Ich finde den stylischen Minimalismus sehr schick! Lediglich der starke Geruch nach Automechanikteilen oder so ähnlich (Autoreifen?) machen mich stutzig. Das Verbinden mit dem IPhone 6s funktioniert sofort. Als ich die ersten Töne höre, bin ich überrascht wie klar und Bassig das Teil spielt. Trotzdem, die mittleren Töne im tieferen Bereich finde ich etwas agressiv. Das Ding geht ordentlich laut und kippt auch nicht bis 100%. Wow Party! Am nächsten Tag kommt meine Bose Revolte+ . So, die hat aber auch einen tollen Klang, irgendwie angenehmer für die Ohren. Kostet aber auch gut 100.- mehr. Sehr schickes praktisches Ding. Im direkten Vergleich spielt das Minirig lauter und intensiver. Ich lade mir die Mimirig 3 App runter und Stelle fest, dass es auch weniger intensive Audiomodi gibt. Bin voll begeistert. Plötzlich spielt das Ding nicht mehr so laut. Bestimmt hab ich in der App was verstellt. Da das Ding nur einen einzigen Bedienknopf hat kann es ja nur so sein. Mangels einer Beschreibung suche ich im.Netz. Nicht in deutsch! Zu dumm!! Gut, es gibt eine Resetmöglichkeit, das mache ich, ich möchte ja auch mal gaaanz laut ... Getan, jetzt baut das Ding keine Bluetoothverbindung mehr auf. Schade, auch nach vielen Versuchen keine Chance mehr. Leider, denn durch den einzigartigen Klang, die lange Akkulaufzeit und den geringeren Preis eindeutig mein Favorit. Also schicke ich den Minirig 3 zurück! Eine Beschreibung in deutsch wäre sehr hilfreich für mich. Mit dem angeblich so guten Support mag ich mich in Englisch nicht auseinandersetzen. Schade, sonst hätte ich mich sofort für das kompakte Ding entschieden. PS: Ich hab mich jetzt für die Dockin D fine + entschieden. Klarer Favirit, das Teil hat ordentlich Volumen. Der Klang kommt einer guten Sterioanlage am nächsten. Der Preis - 150.- Deutsches Qualitätsproduckt, mit Beschreibung in 5 Sprachen! Trotzdem: Hut ab vor dem Minirig

Qualità costruttiva eccellente, suono di ottimo livello, incredibile per uno speaker di queste dimensioni. A mio modesto avviso, il miglior altoparlante BT sul mercato, considerato nel complesso delle sue caratteristiche. Acquisto consigliatissimo!!

50h d autonomie. Son impeccable ! Super produit.
