Minirigs Reviews 309

Bought the 3 for my partner's birthday as he wanted a speaker with a jack, Minirig was recommended by a couple of friends and so far so good, has great sound and does the job!

What can you say more about this speaker that hasn’t been said. The sound is crisp, the bass is amazing and the portability is just otherworldly. The fact you can take such a small system and throw a party anywhere is simply amazing! The app and connectivity is something that can be improved upon!

My experience is with two minirigs and a subwoofer after 4 months of use.
In short:
The only positives are good battery life very good sound quality for the size. Everything else is a nightmare. Bluetooth connection is most unreliable I have ever experienced. Any time you want to enjoy good music in stereo mode with subwoofer you need 20 minutes to get it paired and set it up. Even after you get it working you cannot place the minirigs more than 1 meter apart otherwise on one of them the sound will start dropping out. I have tried everything: resets, software updates and every trick in the manual.
Other most common problem is that subwoofer volume does not adjust with the app and is very quiet. It only starts working after restarting the system about 2 times.
Despite what the ads say you cannot have it connected to multiple devices simultaneously. It will connect however it will not play music. Getting a couple more software engineers to sort out the software should not be that difficult.
And lastly the charging port. you always must carry around that extra cable. It is not 90's anymore. Please use USB Type-C.

Speakers are good for D&Bass type edm: enough punch for the drums, and the low end taken care be the subwoofer. (DJ type: Spontane street party's)
The sub i also use in studio, combined with Yamaha hs8 set.

incredible company that produce a world class speaker at a great price, but not only this the after sales customer service team are the best I've ever experienced at resolving problems and keeping customers happy.

thanks Alex

Amazing quality sound for the size and price. So easy to use. I bought two more and it took me no time to connect them to each other.

I bought a minirig 3 after hearing one that a friend has because they sound so good better than anything I've heard before. They are designed and made in Bristol UK these are solid all metal and beyond amazing. The bass from these is mind blowing it put my jbl to shame and had to have one. The customer service is second to none. If you are looking for a Bluetooth speaker buy one of these you 100% won't regret it.

My 8-yr old Minirig 1 is still going strong but decided to upgrade to 2 x minirig 3 and the sub. It was the right decision…the sound is detailed but huge, the battery life incredible, excellent build quality and synching the speakers is easy. Over the years I’ve tried portables from Bang & Olufsen, Denon and countless others but Minirig really is the best of them.

Great sound if you just buy one speaker but if you buy two, pairing them is a nightmare. MINIRIG give constant advice about having to reboot/reinstall software - which invariably works for a short while. I’m now waiting to hear I can get them repaired - had mine less than a year, and twice I’ve asked for a refund for faulty products but they side step that question. So my advice is to avoid.

Really pleased with my Minirig 3, so much so I'm already planning on buying a second one! Great sound, great product, great customer service and great look too! Cannot find a negative, so highly recommend.

Following the review below mini rig got in touch and it was quick and easy to send off our mini-rig for repair - with postage pre-paid. Many thanks mini-rig!!!

We have had great sounds from our mini-rig but have hit a problem. The minirig is no longer charging. We have followed all the advice on their site including buying a new charging cable but still it is not charging. The problem we have had is that it is almost impossible to contact them. No phone number or obvious email address. We have tried to leave a message but the system won't submit the form without the order number for a product I bought 9 months ago

The minirig 3 is an excellent speaker I use mine on my boat and home. On the boat it's heavy enough not to move around when the boat does. In the home it doesn't look out of place not too big. It looks great and the sound is amazing. Easy to connect, battery life great, comes with a case. Can't fault this speaker, very impressed. Also a British company would highly recommend.

My mini rig stopped working, ( I’ve had it 6 years) I messaged mini rig, no interrogation by mini rig, they sent me a new cable free of charge! Can’t fault their customer service and couldn’t be without my mini rig 🙂

bloody love it - made in Bristol, awesome quality, it LOVES dance music what more can you want... i want another one now

I bought 2 speakers and a subwoofer. The sound is loud with great base and treble. I have connected mine to an Astell & Kern SR25 portable audio player and a Chord Mojo portable headphone amplifier combination setup, which both play in Hi Res audio. I've found that Minirig speakers have the capability to reproduce crisp, clean and detailed sound with punchy base, high treble and clear vocals. Minirig speakers can sufficiently be regarded as audiophile grade that real music lovers will appreciate. I would definitely recommend Minirig products, especially due to their excellent build quality and well thought out design in terms of their operation. I have already ordered two more minirig mini ll speakers and another subwoofer to add to my already excellent sounding system in order to enhance it even further. Please, bare in mind that I have mine setup in wired mode to avoid any disruptive latency issues with the sound reproduction, however, this is not to say that the bluetooth isn't any good, I've simply not tried it yet but have every confidence that it will work great due to the love and attention to detail that Minirig has put into their products. The customer service was of very high standard too with friendly and helpful staff members. In fact, it was a breath of fresh air to finally find a company that excels in producing excellent products that deliver the best and back them up with great customer service. A big well done to Minirig, I am really impressed and find it a joy to give you a full 5 STAR RATING! Bill Singh.

I liked the idea of a stereo with subs set up, but didn’t want to drop quite a lot of money in one go on something I hadn’t heard so I started off with getting a Minirig 3 for my birthday. It’s an awesome little speaker. Lovely balance to the sound and goes louder than you’ll need in a house. Satisfied with that, I added a sub and that was brilliant too - allows you to bring the volume up without sacrificing bass. I then added another 3 so I could do stereo and that was another eye opener; really really improved the experience. Finally I’ve added another sub and it’s now replaced my hi-fi.

Would be 5 stars, but…

As others have mentioned, the app is rubbish! It’s a good app when it connects but I can’t guarantee connection. It’s luck if it connects and more often than not, it doesn’t. This doesn’t bother me when just using the one side, but when doing stereo with two subs, having access to the eq and levels becomes more useful, but I can’t guarantee that I can do that.

I love the speakers and will keep on buying them, but please please please sort out the app!

Bluetooth is rubbish need a good update or sum thing

Best thing I've bought in years! Has brought music back into my life as something precious and meaningful. Great little device for someone living in a small space to have a pure quality sound that fills the air! Totally wicked!

Awesome speakers and great build quality too! I have two minirig 3’s and the Sub 3. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is due to the quality of the app. It would be nice to see a new app!

great product. great service. everything seems sturdy and secure.
