MINIRIG 3 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker - Discontinued, please search for the new version MRBT4

I own many speaker systems, including a reference system made up of B&W 705 bookshelf speakers apart from owning Bose soundlink mini 2, still the best portable bose speaker. Have also owned many other bluetooth speakers and I have listened to some top of the range also, for example B&W T7, Dali Katch, Viva etc. Battery of my bose soundlink mini was giving up so I started to search for something better, but still small enough to carry around. Listening to some youtube videos comparing different bluetooth speakers I came across the name of "Minirig", which surprisingly doesn't even come up when you search amazon for "bluetooth speakers" (meaning it is almost never included in the search results, unless you directly look for the word minirig) So I decided to get one directly from Minirig who posted immediately and I had it next day. Gave it a cold start (without any run in time as you normally do for speakers) and the sound quality was so good that I ordered another through amazon on same day! Sound quality from Minirig 3 is no just very good, it is exceptional, coming from a speaker of this size. People like me who are used to reference systems (B&W speakers, Musical Fidelity amps. etc) look for mid range clarity, sound staging, not just bass but a character to that bass and beats etc. This tiny speaker especially when paired with a second minirig has enough mid range clarity and sound staging to make me listen to this more and more, and I haven't switched on my bigger system for days!. Even one minirig is more punchy and clear with beautiful tonality to it's sound than any other bluetooth speaker in it's class. You will have to spend much more than £300 to get a speaker which can compete this minirig. The beauty of this system is that you can buy one minirig initially then add another and then get a minirig subwoofer and you have a cracking hifi system which you can even take with you out of the house ! I was immediately so impressed that I have now ordered a minirig subwoofer also and a minirig mini (which is half the size of minirig 3 and still souns amazing). My honest suggestion is that if you are looking for a class leading sound in a small speaker, then forget about buying Bose or JBL clips etc or UE booms (sorry to say but UE sounds horrible in front of minirig). Just get one of these and then make up a full system. Battery life is exceptional, it is very well made, looks classy. The only downside is that Minirig 3 is a bit bulky, don't take me wrong! Its still much much smaller than UE megaboom or other such speakers, its more or less comparable to bose soundlink revolve in its size/weight ratio. I also wanted a "pocket friendly" speaker, so I contacted minirig customer services who advised to get a minirig mini also, and if I didn't like it, I could return within 14 days to get full refund. So I ordered one through amazon. So impressed that I am keeping that also, in addition to the two minirig 3s that I already got. If you are looking for a bluetooth speaker and thinking of buying a quality speaker, perhaps thinking of buying a bose or more expensive model, just stop and give this speaker a go. You will not believe how good a bluetooth speaker can sound. And this small company is Bristol based with excellent customer support. Can't fault them! The only downside I can think of is that I find bluetooth connectivity with my iphone not very stable at times, especially when staring to play the music. It sometimes needs disconnecting and connecting again. Perhaps the company needs to update the software. But I am so happy with the sound quality that I am not bothered with this issue and happy to use wired connection if necessary. You can download minirigs app and it gives more functionality to the speakers, especially when you have two minirigs. I have uploaded couple of photos for size comparison Brilliant stuff, don't think twice, just buy one (or preferrably two with a subwoofer) !

Looks good with great sound and build quality. I was specifically looking for a speaker with an aux in port as well as Bluetooth. It’s surprisingly hard to find out whether other brands support aux in when looking on line so I was delighted to find this. (See aux in caveat at end of review) I also wanted really good sound quality as this is my primary music system, I live off grid and wanted something that could be charged off a 12v system. I listen to a wide variety of music and this is really great across the board. Good bass when required but not overbearing. I haven’t listened to spoken word much on it but prob wouldn’t get this if that will be your main concern. I haven’t gone for the subwoofer but in my small space this is more than powerful enough. It was bigger than I expected, I prob wouldn’t want to carry it around as a general thing. If I was looking for an everyday portable speaker that wasn’t my main system I’d look at the smaller one, I haven’t heard it myself but it gets good reviews. It comes in an annoyingly nice box that I can’t bring myself to throw away! It also has a soft case with a net top. I’ve kept it in this when using outside as a bit of protection. I opened the top when playing music but expect it would be fine with the top closed. Battery life is great, I haven’t had to charge it yet. It also connects really easily. I’ve not really used Bluetooth before but it was very straight forward. It didn’t have instructions with it which was a bit annoying, a quick search online solved any questions I had though. It also came with various cables and a lanyard. Included is a cable allowing you plug a usb in to charge your phone at the same time as listening to music, very handy given that Bluetooth rinses my phone battery quickly. One small downside for me is that the volume was limited when using aux in. I tried it with my phone and an iPod with aux in. In both cases the volume couldn’t go as loud as I’d like. I’m guessing this is because the device assumes it’s going to earphones which are always limited so as not to damage your ears. Aux in still played at a very useable volume for general use, just not for those occasions when you want to blast a song out. With Bluetooth I could play it as loud as I’d like.

Super impressed by this speaker, a friend has a minirig mini and I liked it a lot - so thought I'd take a punt. I'm often suspicious of little firms, I've been burnt with a rubbish sound bar before. However, these speakers are blood brilliant! Loving that they're made down the road in Bristol. Pros: - Well made and feels solid - Set-up, connected and playing tunes in less than a minute - Sound output is comparable to the competition, if not better - very nice sound quality with a shocking amount of bass for something so small - Nifty little app to control the EQ and gain, etc. - Reasonably Cheap - Super portable - The battery is ridiculously good! - Comes with a case and all the cables you need - can pair with other Minirig3s (I'm so impressed I'm getting another one) Cons: - Not a lot - No AirPlay or Cast support, so I couldn't connect to Sky Q, but in the grand scheme of things this isn't an issue (the cables work and this isn't what they're designed for) Conclusion: Just get one. You won't regret it.

Excelente sonido. Presentación única, y bateria que nunca se acaba...para nada me arrepiento

Suenan muy bien y bastante fuerte para su tamaño, he comprado 2 para ponerlos en stereo y merece la pena, pero merece la pena todavia mas añadirle el minirig sub 2 porque aunque sin el suenan muy bien los graves, teniendo el cuenta el tamaño de estos, al añadirle el sub 2 te das cuenta que es la guinda del pastel y que ya no puedes estar sin el, (aunque depende que tipo de música suelas escuchar, si tiene muchos graves no te vas arrepentir), los medios y agudos son espectaculares. Ademas tengo que decir que uno de los cables de carga de uno de ellos me vino defectuoso, me puse en contacto con ellos y en poco tiempo me enviaron otro sin ningun problema.Estoy muy contento.

Als ich es auspacke macht das Teil einen hochwertigen Eindruck! Ich finde den stylischen Minimalismus sehr schick! Lediglich der starke Geruch nach Automechanikteilen oder so ähnlich (Autoreifen?) machen mich stutzig. Das Verbinden mit dem IPhone 6s funktioniert sofort. Als ich die ersten Töne höre, bin ich überrascht wie klar und Bassig das Teil spielt. Trotzdem, die mittleren Töne im tieferen Bereich finde ich etwas agressiv. Das Ding geht ordentlich laut und kippt auch nicht bis 100%. Wow Party! Am nächsten Tag kommt meine Bose Revolte+ . So, die hat aber auch einen tollen Klang, irgendwie angenehmer für die Ohren. Kostet aber auch gut 100.- mehr. Sehr schickes praktisches Ding. Im direkten Vergleich spielt das Minirig lauter und intensiver. Ich lade mir die Mimirig 3 App runter und Stelle fest, dass es auch weniger intensive Audiomodi gibt. Bin voll begeistert. Plötzlich spielt das Ding nicht mehr so laut. Bestimmt hab ich in der App was verstellt. Da das Ding nur einen einzigen Bedienknopf hat kann es ja nur so sein. Mangels einer Beschreibung suche ich im.Netz. Nicht in deutsch! Zu dumm!! Gut, es gibt eine Resetmöglichkeit, das mache ich, ich möchte ja auch mal gaaanz laut ... Getan, jetzt baut das Ding keine Bluetoothverbindung mehr auf. Schade, auch nach vielen Versuchen keine Chance mehr. Leider, denn durch den einzigartigen Klang, die lange Akkulaufzeit und den geringeren Preis eindeutig mein Favorit. Also schicke ich den Minirig 3 zurück! Eine Beschreibung in deutsch wäre sehr hilfreich für mich. Mit dem angeblich so guten Support mag ich mich in Englisch nicht auseinandersetzen. Schade, sonst hätte ich mich sofort für das kompakte Ding entschieden. PS: Ich hab mich jetzt für die Dockin D fine + entschieden. Klarer Favirit, das Teil hat ordentlich Volumen. Der Klang kommt einer guten Sterioanlage am nächsten. Der Preis - 150.- Deutsches Qualitätsproduckt, mit Beschreibung in 5 Sprachen! Trotzdem: Hut ab vor dem Minirig

Qualità costruttiva eccellente, suono di ottimo livello, incredibile per uno speaker di queste dimensioni. A mio modesto avviso, il miglior altoparlante BT sul mercato, considerato nel complesso delle sue caratteristiche. Acquisto consigliatissimo!!

50h d autonomie. Son impeccable ! Super produit.
