Unable to connect, for no reason can it connect with the xiaomi app, I go through the replacement process via skroutz, I receive a second speaker (with a European charger this time) and again the same… now I am in the process of requesting a refund… we will see what happens!!!

Mediocre sound but the most important drawback is that it cannot manage devices other than ON/OFF with its own IR. Also, even with the mi application, it cannot learn IR commands. It supports OK in what it supports, but it's not much of what it does. Lights, switches, led strips, etc. OK.

For the money, it is perfect. Good sound, instant connection, and I can control my TV and air conditioner normally with the IR from the Mi Home app

The speaker for its price is excellent. Very easy connection with Google Home, lightweight but sturdy enough. I got it for my child's room so we can play music for him while he sleeps.
From this perspective, it deserves 5 stars because it does well what it was purchased for. Of course, the clock and IR usage are very positive aspects.
However! Compared to Google Nest and Google Nest Hub (owner of 4 devices), the sound quality is significantly worse. While the volume is fine, the performance is like night and day. Poor bass and less "clear" compared to those devices. (Yes, I have played with the pseudo-equalizer that Google Home provides)
So, if someone wants it exclusively for listening to music and is willing to spend a little more money, they should go for the Nest.

It is a pretty good speaker with built-in Google Assistant. The sound quality is quite good for its price. You can adjust the bass and treble. In terms of volume, it is definitely not for parties, but it is great for a space like a bedroom. It also has infrared, so you can control non-smart devices with it. Additionally, through Google Assistant, you can control and perform various functions, such as setting the air conditioner to turn on at a specific time and turn off in 20 minutes, for example. I have been using it for almost a week, almost 24/7, and it plays music from Spotify or radio through the mobile app (the app does not need to be open on the phone) and has not presented any problems. It also only works with electricity, not with batteries. Personally, I do not consider it a problem because it needs Wi-Fi to function properly anyway. It can also be connected via Bluetooth through the Google Home settings. It is a good choice for someone who wants a smart speaker at this price range and does not have specific requirements!

It is Xiaomi but you need Google home for it to work. It is smart speaker like any other Google assistant. You can use it with any device with Bluetooth,you have just to say "OK Google, pair bluetooth". Best thing ever is that through Xiaomi MI home app you can use it to remotely turn on or off any other device with IR. I use it often for Air conditioner. Sound is really good so I use it instead of a soundbar for TV. Excellent device.

Despite the average sound, I bought a second one and I will buy two more.
You can easily see the time and it also has a sensor that adjusts the light according to the space. Edit: and it does it well.
In other words, at night it appears dim as it should not bother those who are in the room.
Edit: the other two are irrelevant because I paired them in stereo and compared them with the corresponding white Xiaomis that have been on the market for years without IR and a screen... and the difference was huge.
Don't expect to put them in the living room to listen to something, only for a clock, infrared, assistant.
It is meant to be placed, for example, in a hallway, in the bathroom, maybe on the upper floor to answer calls from other applications that support it, for open conversation, Google Assistant, or not to miss a word from what you hear from one room to another.
Nevertheless, for 30 euros, it is worth it, especially for less, as long as you don't have high sound expectations in this "package"

For its price, it's worth it... It is an IR controller that has everything except for home cinema... The only negative thing is that it doesn't have remote control learning
