Xiaomi Essential Bluetooth Speaker 5W Green

Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker Essential

The Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker Essential is an ultra-portable speaker designed for everyday and outdoor use. Weighing only 200 grams, this model integrates Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity, offering greater stability and energy efficiency compared to previous generations.

Its compact chassis combines portability and ruggedness for mobile use. In addition to the green finish, it is also available in black with the same technical specifications.

Bluetooth 6.0 and multi-speaker mode

Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity improves transmission stability, reduces latency and optimises the power consumption of the wireless module.

The speaker allows two pairing configurations:

• TWS mode: synchronisation of two speakers for true stereo sound.
• Combo mode: daisy-chain up to 10 speakers playing the same audio signal.

1.5" driver and passive radiator

The acoustic system uses a 1.5-inch dynamic driver rated at 5W.

To improve bass response, the speaker incorporates a passive radiator that reinforces the low frequencies without increasing the size of the chassis.

USB sound card function

A technical highlight is the possibility to use the device as an external sound card (USB DAC).

When connected via USB-C to a computer or tablet, the speaker processes digital audio directly, eliminating Bluetooth latency and allowing the battery to be charged at the same time.

Note: unlike the model for the Chinese market (Redmi Speaker 2), this global version does not include a microSD card slot.

Battery life and power management

A 1000 mAh battery is integrated. Battery life depends on playback volume:

• Up to 10 hours with volume at 40%.
• Approximately2.5 to 3 hours at 100% volume.

Full charge takes approximately 2 hours via its USB-C port.

Construction and IP66 certification

The chassis combines durable textile mesh with a rubber base designed to absorb vibrations. An integrated carrying strap is included for easy transport.

It is IP66-certified, ensuring protection against dust and powerful water jets, such as heavy rain or direct splashes.

It is not designed for immersion; IP67 or higher certification is required for this type of protection.
