The RedMi Soundbar is cheap, but is it good?

Today we look at a cheap and cheerful back to the basics soundbar. A lot of tech has shifted in the 8 years that the Bose Soundlink mini has launched. And today, for a lot less money, we can expect a lot more performance.
To give it to you upfront, the Redmi Soundbar is actually sounding better than the much more expensive Bose Soundlink mini. It's so much cheaper so the value and bang-for-buck factor is extremely high on the Redmi soundbar!

You sound great Peter, glad you're back. Looking forward to your review of the SONOS Roam!

[@KevinHallaian]

Welcome back, glad things went well with the surgery!

[@jeffleigh3747]

Hi Pete, your annunciation is clearer but I’m just glad you’re gonna be healthy going forward. Great work btw ✊

[@terrymacmath9303]

Yes, Welcome back! I am sooo glad that all went well! I think that you sound more clear. I could understand everything that you said! It will be interesting to see a test comparison of before and after. I am very interested in the new announcement that you mentioned coming on Tuesday! Until then, get some rest!

[@zigacerar938]

All the best and stay healthy. Thanks for the review!

[@markuku2991]

Thanks man, this was helpful!

[@Kiev-en-3-jours]

Very useful. I love when speakers reviews do not include sound sample at all.

[@areliablesource2848]

First of all I am glad you came thru the surgery and you are sounding great. You also are looking well rested. Congratulations. So, there is some "up coming news". Well, I hope it is regarding the upcoming news from Sonos and the launching of some new products. I see in the news there is something called a Sonos Roam. I am waiting to see what you have to say about this little guy. I have a room where even the Sonos One's are kind of over whelming and I am wondering if the Sonos Roam will be a solution. I know these are not shipping yet (end of March, maybe?). The Sonos Marketing Department seems to be "baiting the hook", and it is working; I am excited, but will wait until we hear from you regarding the Roam.

[@shukhor3010]

Peter you sound great! Crystal clear!

[@myatix1]

Hi Peter, Happy to hear you are getting better! Voice sounds great! Take care not to over do it.

[@sludog]

So glad you're well and recovered so quickly. You sound much younger. Peter Pee 2.0

[@bobkrogh1670]

Nice vid and thanks. I will give them a try.

[@sonsenthoy7468]

excellent review..many thanks

[@msp5616]

Glad you are recovering well Peter. As for your voice its hard to explain, you sound like "you" but more consistent and level.

[@adrianfabian]

My samsung tv find this soundbar but they won't paired. What should I do?

[@simon2823]

Peter, your new Trueplay voice sounds great!

[@samuelbumanglag4403]

How long is the power cable?

[@meg22685]

Sounding great!

[@pangs3aupangs308]

Welcome back! Glad operation went well. Was wondering if you’ve done any comparison between 2xHomepod vs 2xSonos Five, for music. Cant find much out there.

[@mavricksed]

Hi Peter can you review the hd fury arcana along side the Sonos arc please. Thanks

[@alexalex-bk5ls]

hi Thanks for sharing I m looking for a speaker to connect a old samsung blue ray player but just use for playing old CD music disk sound only in order to save money for a old lady. I give her my old blue way player and want to solve below problems. Many Thanks^^ 1. Is it work if I use a blue ray player coaxial out to connect redmi soundbar coaxial in without connecting TV or Any other pc or Mon display? 2. Is it work if I use a blue ray player hdmi output to connect a soundbar with hdmi input without connecting TV or pc Mon? Thanks a lots

[@curits8260]

why no sound check?

[@NERO-ez1mn]

goodluck on the operation

[@kevinbihari]

heey, you're back. how was the surgery? feeling better? your voice is much better now. do you feel any difference?

[@giorgio5789]

you need to lower compression and noise gate on your mic. nice video!

[@tobias7104]

We want to hear about Sonos Roam 😀. Your voice is fine 😀

[@HitsuTwistedTalong]

bluetooth 5.0?

[@tongtong1566]

Great content! One question: After initial setup, if i uplug the power, the next time i plug in the power again (at power socket), do i need to press the side button to turn it on again?

[@andretheseal9837]

i would also like to know this. not having a remote isn't great, unless you can power it on with the TV and control the sound bar through the TV remote and the sounder will always stay maxed out after you set it.

[@Sedric661]

Does the speaker sound quieter when silencing the TV with the remote control? Or it must be done by hand?

[@PeterPee]

If you line out from the TV with an analog headphone out, then yes. If it is a line level out and not variable, you will have to adjust the volume manually.

[@earlfenwick]

Cool! I am looking forward to Mi products getting into real hifi. Something to challenge Sonos eh?

[@megsman4749]

Nice very scientific review!

[@marllen0908]

Can u use the tv remote to adjust its volume?

[@PeterPee]

Unfortunately no. UNLESS, your TV has variable headphone output and not just a line level output. The variable headphone out will then be able to adjust the levels fo output. In which case you can just max out the volume on the soundbar and you control the overall volume from TV.

[@Robertin69]

Tengo un tv LG y no puedo conectar la barra. No comprar.

[@Penguin-pu2en]

In my country is just 30$

[@gyrdin]

Damn, you have to readjust your settings for expander/gate, your voice is being cutted horribly.

[@spiketwo666]

can this pair perfectly with the wanbo t2 max?

[@PeterPee]

They can work together but whether it’s perfect or not is another matter. Cos for long throw projector, it has to be the back. And your screen will be in the front. So you’ve got to run a pretty long cable to the soundbar.

[@spiketwo666]

@@PeterPee I''m planning to use the bluetooth function hope it is okay?
