Xiaomi Smart Speaker with Google Home?! Full Walkthrough review [Xiaomify]

[@luciennedepenne]

Was supersurprised with the Dutch song out of nowhere! Haha, awesome review!

[@zckom]

I think this is just a starting point for Xiaomi to start investing in more smart home devices that support Google Assistant.

[@OosterlooM]

how does it's sound quality compare to the google home speaker and the newest google nest speaker?

[@69kgaming52]

I've got two of those Xiaomi speakers connected in stereo mode and also got two Nest Audio's. Those from Xiaomi sound way more clear and the bass is awesome, but not too much. You can also easily change the bass and treble in the Google Home app. I was able to purchase two of them for only 80 euros in total! :)

[@69kgaming52]

Btw, I bought the Nest Audio after getting the Xiaomi ones as I wanted to compare them. I ended up returning the Nest Audio's which I did not expect at all :P

[@OosterlooM]

@@69kgaming52 big thanks for your in-depth reply man! I'm sold! :D

[@FrancoSechi]

I bought them some time ago. They are great. Better sound as the Google products. Best buy in months!

[@Betoballestas]

Dude, congrats, all your videos are so clean and we'll done, one of my favorite youtube channels, hope you can create another youtube channel but with all kind of tech devices not just Xiaomi

[@earlfenwick]

xiaomi makes so much stuff they will probably keep him busy.

[@xiaomify]

exactly, I can hardly keep up with how much they are releasing as it is right now! For me to start more channels covering more tech brands I will need to have a bunch of editors to be able to do that. Perhaps somewhere in the (far) future I might actually do that but for now when it's just me that would be too much. -I do like the idea though :)

You do realize that when you record the speaker and play it in the video, we still hear it with the quality our smart phones and headphones can provide. 😆

[@rajendrakumarvarsani4184]

Yes

[@jordanjulianchase]

BEST REVIEW EVER.... short, knowledgeable and precise. Thanks :)

[@chrispascual8118]

My coworker had this installed in the office, the sound is crisp and clear, and the bluetooth range is long which we really liked. But now this specific model is out of stock and looks like xiaomi won't be making these again.

[@hxy265]

Nice review! Any idea how it compares to the IKEA symfonisk speakers? Most of us in Europe probably haven't tried any of the xiaomi speakers before sadly!

[@mikiprimus]

Symfonisk has two drivers and is focused on music, not being smart so there is no way it would sound worse than this one.

[@XiaomiGadgetsGuide]

Been waiting for this for ages!! Awesome video Xiaomify!! Number 1 Mi Channel!

[@xiaomify]

thanks man!

[@SushynatorProduction]

Looks pretty similar to Sonos

[@danlovesayu]

Hahaha.......it's a direct copy. Not similar....!

Hey dude whats the latest smart speaker in 2024

[@duke_of_earl]

I had local Chiang Mai Thailand store ordered for me. Global version for English. The equalizer is perfect.

[@satyagom]

Can you pair 2 of these speaker and make it stereo like on the google nest?

[@Offline0611]

Yes.

[@mrrave1400]

When will be avalible the battery version with de Google Assistant?

[@jamiemonkey1362]

Need to know how it compares in sound to the new Google home speaker.

[@那拉氏辉发]

can i use this as a mic and speaker at the same time for my conference room?

[@KennethPaul]

They have added a ton of items to the global server in the last 12 months but I agree would be nice to just have everything work on the global server from the outset. Im in the UK and switched all my stuff from the CN server to the UK one about a year ago. Oddly they have added some china only items like the new ZigBee hub yet other items aren't on the global server yet. I'm looking forward to a sound comparison next to Google's own home mini. I know this wouldn't be worth it for you in China though but thanks for the video man keep up the great reviews 👍

[@xiaomify]

Thanks! Yes I agree that many more items have been added to the global server, but I would need to make some sort of seperation to have a testing account (on global) and my home setup. So might have to investigate all the options a bit more in the future. (I do hope they will add every single product on global, or allow CN server to have all products show up in Google) That would make everyone's life so much easier :)

[@barrylaros]

@@xiaomify try the android app: Island, I used it to clone the mi home app, and that works, in the 1st I have china server logged in, and in the cloned mi home app I now use the eu server global products. This way my google home also picks up all Xiaomi linked devices all together also for google voice commands. Greets another Dutch Xiaomi lover and tester 😎😁

[@Sl00ki]

@@barrylaros Can you please explain a bit more? Right now I have Mi Home app instaled and all my smart devices are on China Mainland servers.

[@1c3man91]

@@Sl00ki I just tried it.. On my Samsung it created a work profile where I can install apps for second time.. So you can have two Mi Home apps with it and to be logged in China Mainland and Europe at the same time. This however didn't solve my problem as my CN gadgets still are on the CN server and do not show up in Google.

[@game_changer7798]

hi, could you Please tell how to change led color of this speaker?

[@giane911]

Hello. I'm new to smart speakers, does this Xiaomi Smart Speaker need to be plugged always?

[@alfiangaul]

Yes there is no battery in

[@Space._.johann]

Love it tomorrow I'm going to get one to control my mi fan 1x and my mijia bedside lamp 2 love your review😁

[@thiscantbefixed.]

When I try to play music on the smart speaker, it just plays it on the TV but I want it to play the music itself so what’s wrong here?

[@nazhif1]

how does this compare against the Google Nest Mini? The nest is about 25% cheaper where I live.

[@xiaomify]

In terms of Google AI functionality they should be the same. Sound is a little bit different with the xiaomi one having a bit more low-end and bass content but I'll have to really do a side-by-side comparison to confirm this. -I can try to do a comparison between the two if I can find the time to do so, perhaps do that on Twitter or Instagram.. And... The nest mini is cheaper where you are? That is impressive, I thought those were around 80 USD, but guess I was wrong..

[@nazhif1]

@@xiaomify Its around 150-170 MYR. The Xiaomi is just over 200 MYR. Also the bigger Nest Audio is around 450 - 550 MYR depending on the importer as it's not officially sold here.

[@wanfahimi]

Yup. I've been using google mini mainly for radio (sinar fm on tunein), can't see any functional advantage of this device over google mini

[@ashleywolf5522]

yeah i love the xiaomi and aqara products but man does it get messy when you start trying to control them using alexa/google home and even more confusing when there are mainland and international products of the same product =.=

[@fpetru]

Does it support speaker groups? Can it be integrated into them?

[@cezarmihnea]

yes

[@avishshaji700]

Sound quality wise is it better than Google nest mini.2 ??

[@debur22]

Great video again like always. Finaly o should say but...... as you alrady mention the disadvantage is for the people who have have the mix of Xiaomi products CN and Global. I got that they will fix that soon. I will look forward for this product and the it will evolve. Keep up the good work peace ✌

[@xiaomify]

As always, thanks! I hope they will look into that sometimes soon as well, that would be great :)

[@alcopop2006]

The global Vs Chinese server is an annoyance for me too. I would love there to be more compatibility between everything 🤔

[@Robin_sweet]

Can you stream music over wifi on it as whole house (multiple) speakers or is music only over bluetooth?

[@hvmzaxib]

yoooo share the songs, also good video as always thanks man

[@xiaomify]

Yeah will do that someday for sure :) Thanks!

[@sjorsdw]

I got one, regarding sound quality.. for a small room its not bad. Next to my sonos play 1, its miles away in terms of quality.

[@curionion]

In which way tho. Ways worse or ways better😂😂

[@delmariomerces6833]

Thank you so much for your review. I'm about to buy one of these. Any clue on where I can find the English instruction manual?

[@subash187]

Very professionally done review. I have subscribed to your channel

[@anthonybeaman]

After setting it up, does your phone need to be on and connected to make the speaker work ?

[@LVLdk]

Hey man, like your videos, you have a very pro and consistent way of putting pressure on your verbals. Like it. Btw have you made a video on the Xiaomi digital Cat eye and door bell?

[@xiaomify]

thanks! -I have done a video on their doorbell. I had the cat eye as well, filmed quite a bit of it but never got around to making a video about. Might consider doing that someday :)

[@Art_Gonzales]

when this speaker available to online retailers like banggood or gearbest?

[@xiaomify]

That is a little bit tricky right now. Xiaomi has launched this a little while ago in China as the "Xiao-Ai ART speaker" and I believe that can actually be found online already. -But keep in mind that the Chinese model uses their Xiao-AI engine which only supports Chinese voice control right now. So if the global version actually makes it to GB or BG you have to make sure that you are not getting the CN version but actually get the global version with Google Home. (if that's what you're looking for)

[@cylee614]

@@xiaomify i wonder if there's a way to flash the China version into Google Assistant... i assume its the same hardware, right?

It can't

[@0AThijs]

I know that this video is 2 years old at this point, but, do you know if this works with the Xiaomi Mi Smart Hub on Xiaomi devices?

[@WanJieMing]

Hey. I live in Shanghai too. As that's a Google assistant, that means I have to connect it to a router that has VPN on it right? And all my products at home are Mi Home app compatible... So it's useless for me. Right?

[@jialewong8048]

Your "xiaoai" is super accurate accent

[@maartensiebel]

Thx. for overview. Useful. But it didn't help me: I just couldn't get the speaker to pair, did all the standard tricks to try to get it to work but no, it didn't pair. Any suggestions? Thx.

[@iyliaazrigarewal962]

i just bought this item, and I do agree the whole quality is good for the price however the only grip that I have is its difficult to connect to my Mac and I can't seem to connect the mi home app thru my phone.

[@cezarmihnea]

Is the speaker powerful, like, can it fill a 20 square meters room?

[@khanyekl]

Fill? What SPL are you looking for? For an 'ordinary' person, it should be good enough for that room

[@SyedAidid]

Do you think Apple Homepod Mini gonna work with Xiaomi smart home products? Since we can create manual automation and add it to ‘Siri’. Appreciate your thought on this.

I am not entirely sure about it.. It might actually work but I am not 100% sure as I haven't tried this yet. Would love to actually try that out sometimes soon though :)
