Xiaomi Sound Pocket ultra-compact speaker now available in Europe
Xiaomi has released its Sound Pocket ultra-compact speaker in Europe and the UK after previewing the device last year. A Red Dot winner, the Sound Pocket supports true wireless stereo sound when two units are paired together. Moreover, the speaker boasts IP67 dust and water resistance.
As a result, the Sound Pocket is completely protected from dust and should withstand being immersed in up to a metre of water for 30 minutes. With that in mind, Xiaomi advertises it as being suitable for use when by the pool or at the beach. To that end, the Sound Pocket should be good for around 10 hours of music playback at 40% volume from its 1,000 mAh built-in battery.
Also, the Sound Pocket supports Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity for up to a 25 metre transmission distance with a paired device. Additionally, Xiaomi has included a microphone on top of the speaker's 5 W driver, the combination of which allows the Sound Pocket to handle calls hands-free. For reference, the Sound Pocket weighs around 200 g and measures just 90.8 x 74.4 x 42.6 mm.
Currently, Xiaomi sells the Sound Pocket in Germany and the UK for €24.99 (~$29) and £14.99 (~$20) in a choice of Blue Gray, Pocket Pink and Black colour options. Launch sales have dropped the speaker's price to €14.99 (~$17) and £12.99 (~$17) respectively, though. Alternatively, the Sound Pocket can be picked up on Amazon US from marketplace sellers for around $22. Please see Xiaomi's website for more details.
