PROS
Lovely design, Still portable but suitable for the living room, Great sound, Can go loud when needed
CONS
No app - but that is also a positive
VERDICT
I found the Xiaomi Sound Party to be a highly capable mid-sized speaker that prioritises quality design, ease of use and decent sound. There’s very little to fault here, except perhaps that the speaker doesn’t sync with other smaller Xiaomi speakers in the range, but that’s a minor bone of contention. The Sound Party feels like a more “grown up” speaker, focusing more on subdued lighting than colourful strobes, and an easy-on-the-eye design that compliments the sound of the unit.
