I do not advise buying this product, there is nothing to praise here.

For about a year I have been using a couple of small speakers in different rooms to connect with Mi Home and Home Assistant. For the first time in my life, I fit into the "pre-order" - it turned out to be the second station. Very disappointed in the overall experience. Yes, it is larger and objectively produces the best sound, but it lost in absolutely all other respects. If you can survive the lack of a screen and 3.5, then it's hard to put up with deafness. One day he won’t turn on the light again and get rid of this creature!
A product like this shouldn't cost that much.

Pros

- looks elegant - powered by type-c (finally)

Cons

- deaf (generally a disaster! it is much better for a small one to give commands to smart home devices) - no clock screen - meager choice of colors (very much like white) - the buttons are not visible in low light (the youngest at least has a relief and you can feel it) - no jack 3.5 - an extremely useless thing in the absence of internet (even as a speaker for a computer, it does not work well)
