Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker Magnetic Edition: Price, Availability and Features

Xiaomi’s Bluetooth Speaker Magnetic Edition is a small two-in-one accessory built around a simple idea: improve phone audio while also giving the phone a stand. It is currently being sold through Xiaomi Youpin crowdfunding in China for ¥132, compared with a suggested retail price of ¥199. That makes the launch discount ¥67, or about 34%—but there is no confirmed UK or US release.

Price and launch status

The crowdfunding price is ¥132, while the suggested retail price is ¥199. The introductory price is therefore ¥67 lower, although the final price and availability may depend on the crowdfunding campaign and subsequent retail rollout.

For buyers outside China, the more important detail is that Xiaomi has not announced an international launch price or release date. Current availability is tied to Xiaomi Youpin, making this a China-first product rather than a globally released Xiaomi accessory.

The magnetic speaker is also a phone stand

The speaker’s magnetic base is designed to attach to the rear of compatible smartphones or magnetic cases. Once attached, the speaker supports the phone in portrait or landscape orientation, allowing it to function as a compact viewing stand for videos, calls and other phone-based content.

The strongest compatibility case is Apple’s MagSafe ecosystem. Reports specifically describe support for iPhone 12 and later, as well as MagSafe-compatible cases. Compatible Android phones may also work with an added magnetic ring, but buyers should check the phone, case and accessory arrangement before assuming the magnetic connection will be secure.

A built-in Hall-effect sensor detects the magnetic attachment. That lets the speaker power on automatically when it is placed on the phone; reports also describe it entering sleep or switching off when removed. The result is a more seamless stand-and-play experience than a conventional speaker that must be turned on manually each time.

Colors, size and construction

The Magnetic Edition is reported in two finishes: dark gray and light brown, sometimes described as black or tan. It weighs approximately 95 grams, keeping it light enough to carry with a phone or pack in a small bag.

The exterior combines a fabric-style grille with a metal ring or handle, while an RGB ring sits around the base. The product is also reported to have an IP67 dust- and water-resistance rating, although that should not be interpreted as permission for unrestricted or prolonged immersion.

What is included in the box?

The available reporting does not reliably establish the complete retail box contents. In particular, the supplied evidence is insufficient to confirm whether a USB-C cable or power adapter is included. Prospective buyers should verify the final Xiaomi Youpin listing before ordering, especially because the speaker charges over USB-C.

Audio and connectivity specifications

The audio hardware is deliberately compact:

• Driver: one 1.5-inch full-range speaker
• Output: 3W
• Claimed frequency response: 200Hz–20kHz
• Wireless connection: Bluetooth 6.0
• Codecs reported: AAC and SBC
• Battery: 650mAh
• Multi-speaker support: two speakers for stereo pairing, with up to 10 units linkable for synchronized playback

These specifications point to a speaker intended for close-range listening rather than room-filling sound. A single 3W driver may be useful for phone videos, podcasts and background music, but it is not positioned as a substitute for a larger desktop, party or hi-fi Bluetooth speaker.

The speaker also includes an RGB base light that can change in sync with music, adding an ambient visual effect. That feature is primarily about atmosphere rather than audio performance.

Who is it for?

The most convincing use cases are situations in which a phone needs both better sound and a stable viewing position:

• watching videos at a desk or in the kitchen;
• following recipes without holding the phone;
• making video calls;
• listening to podcasts or background music nearby; and
• propping up short-form video in portrait or landscape mode.

Its value comes from combining two accessories in one small device. Instead of carrying a separate phone stand and relying on the phone’s built-in speaker, users get a magnetic support mechanism and a modest external speaker for ¥132 during crowdfunding. The 95g weight and automatic Hall-sensor activation reinforce that convenience-first design.

The trade-off: convenience over speaker power

The Magnetic Edition makes more sense as a phone companion than as a conventional portable speaker. Its 3W driver and compact size limit its suitability for loud gatherings or bass-heavy listening, but those same dimensions make it easier to attach to a phone and use at close range.

That distinction is important when judging the price. Buyers seeking the biggest or loudest sound should look at a dedicated speaker instead. Buyers who repeatedly need to prop up a phone—and want a simple audio upgrade at the same time—are the audience most likely to appreciate Xiaomi’s unusual speaker-and-stand combination.
