A109mini Wireless Speaker

Was truly surprised with the great sound quality coming from this tiny, tiny speaker! Love the fact that I can put my music on a tiny SD card and insert it into the speaker to make it totally self-contained. It can stream from my phone, but I like it being self-contained and only draining one battery instead of two. The only things I don't like is the fact that when it starts-up, it starts playing my music as the highest volume possible; and also when you try to adjust the volume, the volume goes up or down way too quickly. Still, I would definitely recommend this speaker. EDIT: This edit is being written in July of 2023. I just received my 3rd speaker, as the previous 2 seem to die after 2 years each (the battery just kinda gives up -- you can still use it if you plug in a power source via usb if you like). If you're wondering, I use this pretty much 5 days a week, on and off throughout the day (maybe a total of around 6 hours per day). Bought my first one in March of 2019. A year later I was out of work for the pandemic (and didn't use the speaker at all until returning to work a year later). Bought my second one in August of 2021, and my current one in July of 2023. I kinda forget if my first speaker had any issues. My 2nd speaker had a semi-faulty button which didn't always respond when pushed. It also paused for a few seconds between every song, which was a little annoying. My current (3rd) speaker starts up a lot faster then #2 did, and there is no pause between songs. So that's nice. But there is another difference, and I'm not sure if it is good or bad. This new speaker doesn't automatically shut down like #2 did. #2 would turn itself off if I left it on pause for a couple of minutes. Not sure if that helped to save the battery life or not. I was tempted to knock off a star since they all seem to last only 2 years each, but then again, they are so cheap, it doesn't seem like that big a deal to just buy a new one. Maybe when I hit retirement age, I can collect enough of them to build a tiny house for myself...

These incredibly tiny EWA speakers are amazing. I own both the A106 and A109mini. Not a paid for review. I got one of the EWA model A106 on a whim due to its sale price. I was intrigued to hear it because of its very tiny size, because it has a metal case, and because of the breakout photo that show it has both a DSP chip (sophisticated computer chip that lets the manufacturer better control the sound quality) and a passive bass radiator (which allows much more bass from small speakers). I was really amazed when it showed up. Very tiny, very heavy for its size, and the sound was better than most speakers 3 times the size. You can actually enjoy music on it as long as it is not too bass heavy. My friend was so impressed I had to give it to him for his trip to Spain. It is replacing an "Oontz" speaker that is much larger and this sounds almost as good. I decided to try the A109mini to replace my A106, and I like this A109Mini a bit better. NOTE, there is also an EWA model A109 which is larger and different from this A109Mini They are almost identical in size, weight, and sound quality. The 106 comes with a carry case and this A109 does not. However, the A106 has almost no controls on it. You cannot pause the music, or adjust the volume from the speaker. This A109 has a very handy multi-direction control switch that allows you to skip tracks, pause the music, and adjust the volume up and down. It has other functions as well that I have not tried, but I like not having to grab my phone to pause the music. I have not tried the TFcard playback, but if you want to use it totally without a phone that is a good option. The bluetooth on both the A106 and A109mini works great. I am very pleased and these little speakers really surprise every who sees and hears them.

It is as small as shown and has excellent sound. The bass can be adjusted by changing the surface it rests upon. The volume and power are the same bottom which requires some learning to effect. The battery life is very good and the charge times are short for the run time. Its Bluetooth connection is very quick to establish and you can reliably connect and disconnect. It's easy to lose if you take it to a crowded environment where the small size will obfuscate it among the chaos. On the plus side you can easily hide speakers out of sight for aesthetics.

I like the sound. I love that it plays music from my micro-sd (tf) card, even though like all these devices there is practically no control over what plays when... And for its quality I could give it five stars. My only minor gripe is that I'm trying to use only usb-c charging ports, and this new device uses the old micro-usb to charge. If that doesn't bother you, it is well worth the money. Small and heavy, good sound for the size.

Perfect size and unexpected sound quality. I got as a gift for my friend. Look high quality due to being made of metal

People I show this to are pretty amazed by the clarity and bass response. It has its own little passive woofer! I have taken this traveling internationally...island hopping...it has been dropped from a decent height one or two times. Still chugging along! My only slight criticism is the exterior easily gets scratched up if you put it in your pockets with anything else. Of course, the woofer and selector button could get damaged too if you're not careful. The design is beautiful, so it's a shame that this can happen over time. Sea water splashed onto the speaker and it stopped working temporarily. However, I realized that it was just the SD card feature that got shorted out by the water. The bluetooth still works perfectly! I would also love to see a little loop where you can add a lanyard and attach it to your belt loop or something. Overall though, I still give it 5 stars. Not show-stopping bass, but for this TINY size, what it CAN do it quite amazing. Perfectly balanced crisp treble and tight little bass.

The speaker is awesome but good luck using the volume switch to turn up or down to desired volume. I use it with a TF/SD card to accompany a soundscape I create for body work. It takes a long time to get to the volume and track I want because it is one tiny toggle for both.....turn it up then the track changes.......turn it down and it goes silent......turn it up then the track changes. I just keep it plugged in and set all three that I use 30 minutes before the start of work so I have time to get them all to the track and volume I want. Sadly I have not found any speaker with such good sound and so little bluetooth interference so perhaps this is the best there is for my use needs. SD speaker without bluetooth and decent control buttons. Anybody? I have searched for a year and have only found worse sound and less reliable battery life. I do not know about the battery life on this one because I keep it plugged in because the bluetooth not pick up when playing SD and plugged in. It was actually a complaint by someone else that let me know that this one would not have the interference that I get with the MIFA speakers.

I bought the speaker for its small size for backpacking trips. It feels slightly hefty, but weighed in at only 4 oz on my scale. The bottom of the speaker has a subwoofer built into it which provides a really good bass sound for the small package, but you do have to be careful of the bottom of the speaker as that is where damage could occur. There is about 2cm of edge clearance that protects the subwoofer. The rest of the speaker is milled aluminum and is robust. The speaker can output a loud volume with minimal distortion and playing time lasted over 8-hours.
