The Xiaomi Compact Bluetooth Speaker 2 (sold by Xiaomi as the Mi Compact Bluetooth Speaker 2, model MDZ-28-DI) is a small round speaker in white that fits in the palm of your hand. It connects to a phone, tablet or laptop over Bluetooth 4.2, plays for up to 6 hours at 80% volume from its 480 mAh battery, and has a built-in microphone so you can take calls through it. There is no app, no Wi-Fi and no waterproofing; it is a simple, low-cost speaker for a desk, a bedside table or a kitchen counter.

What it is for
The Xiaomi Compact Bluetooth Speaker 2 is made to be louder and fuller than a phone’s own speaker, not to fill a room. It works well for podcasts, Quran recitation, YouTube in the kitchen, background music on a desk, or as a call speaker when you work from home. Because it is so small and light, it also travels well in a laptop bag or a hotel suitcase. Xiaomi does not publish a rated output in watts in its user guide, so the honest description is a personal speaker for one or two people nearby.
Battery: 6 hours at 80% volume
Inside the Xiaomi Compact Bluetooth Speaker 2 is a 480 mAh lithium battery. Xiaomi states up to 6 hours of playback at 80% volume with a stable Bluetooth connection, and notes the time can vary with playback conditions. Since that figure is measured at a fairly loud setting, quieter listening will usually last longer. The speaker charges through a Micro-USB port at 5V 300mA; Xiaomi does not list a charging time. Battery level appears on iPhones and on Xiaomi phones after pairing, and the speaker switches itself off after 10 minutes without a connection or music.
Pairing and the single button
The Xiaomi Compact Bluetooth Speaker 2 has one multi-function button and a status light. Hold the button for 2 seconds to switch on; with the speaker off, hold it for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode, then choose “Mi BT18” in your phone’s Bluetooth list. During a call, a press answers or ends it and a long press rejects it. The light shows blue or red, steady or flashing, to indicate pairing, charging and battery state. Bluetooth 4.2 supports the A2DP, AVRCP and SPP profiles with a 10 m operating distance.
Hands-free calls
The built-in microphone of the Xiaomi Compact Bluetooth Speaker 2 lets you answer calls on the speaker without picking up the phone, which is handy when cooking, driving with the phone in a holder or sitting at a desk. Keep the speaker within arm’s reach and facing you for the clearest voice pickup. Xiaomi does not publish microphone specifications or noise reduction for this model, so for long meetings in a noisy space a headset is still the better option.
Simple by design
The Xiaomi Compact Bluetooth Speaker 2 does not connect to Wi-Fi, does not work with an app and cannot be grouped with other speakers; Xiaomi states this plainly in its support notes. That simplicity is also the appeal: you pair it once, it remembers the device, and it is ready. The white finish suits light desks and kitchens, and Xiaomi notes it supports a wrist strap for carrying.
Who This Is Not For
The Xiaomi Compact Bluetooth Speaker 2 is not for outdoor parties, the beach or the pool: Xiaomi lists no water or dust rating, and its size means modest volume and light bass. It charges through the older Micro-USB port, not USB-C, uses Bluetooth 4.2 rather than a newer version, has no stereo pairing or app, and Xiaomi does not publish its wattage or charging time.
