Minirigs Reviews 309

I have put 1 star because you can’t award 0. I purchased 2 mini rig 3 and sub at the end of 2020. I have had no end of trouble with them. The speakers have never worked communicating well over Bluetooth. The pairing does not work consistently and it is incredibly hard to pair the speakers via cable or Bluetooth. Which is really wired cause surely cables should work. There’s a very specific way to use the speakers. You can’t just turn them on, have music playing and expect them to share the feed.

I have installed the software upgrade and now I can’t even access the app, it times out so I am unable to set the pairing feature and ‘link’ the 2 speakers. My speakers won’t pair over Bluetooth and I am unable to use the ‘special mini rig cable’ I had to buy which enables surround sound (since u can’t get surround sound from pairing /if u use them for the tv they have a delay as soon as more than one speaker is connected via Bluetooth). These speakers have been a constant disappointment. Again and again I wish I had not wasted my money on these speakers. I have had endless communications with mini rig and they send me emails worded like I’m an idiot and can’t use tech when I have provided videos of how bad these speakers are.

The speakers seem to be confused and unable to work via cable when connected to a Bluetooth device and when trying to pair the speakers simply swap, never pairing. I thought the whole point of the MINIRIG was the pairing feature so you can connect a number of speakers. I repeatedly struggle to use them together.

I think if you want 1 speaker then it’s a hardy little one that looks good the metal finish gives it a sturdy look. They sound ok. However, I would never waste my money or recommend these speakers. What ever they had going in the V1 has been shadowed out by substandard tech which doesn’t work and the app is terrible. Save yourself the heartache I’ve had from expecting a high quality speaker.

The speaker is ok but nothing special. What is not ok is that Minirigs continues to send me emails trying to sell related products. I never signed up for these emails and they provide no link to unsubscribe.

I received a Minirig 3 in green for Christmas and it is even better than I hoped. Great looking, excellent sound and made in England - an absolutely fabulous gift!!

I have two mini and the subwoofer. What I like is not only the sound (whcih is way better than any product in this size) but also the excellent conectivity. They give you both standard bluetooth and standard audio in/out 3.5mm jacks. This is an oddity in the high end market where most vendors keep inventing propietary protocols, proprietary
audio connectors (if any), and always trying to control why you can do or not do with your devices.
Thanks to the standard connectivty I use them with my phone (via Bluetooth), connected to a mini PC (audio jack), sometimes with an AVR as surround speakers, and other times I even use the subwoofer in my car, by just connecting the phone to the sub and from there to the aux in to combine with the car speakers. With all the standard connectivity and modularity the possibilities are endless. Definitively it is not the typical tech product that will live in a drawer most of the time, you can be sure you will get all the juice from them with different uses over the years.

The minirig is a thing of beauty and was a present for someone who had lost their 1st one. They are soooooo pleased to have had it replaced and have had it in constant use. The sound is as good as ever.
As before, it arrived speedily and beautifully packaged.

I’ve had the MINIRIG 3 for more than a year and recently decided to treat myself to the subwoofer, I wasn’t disappointed.
The MINIRIG setup is superb, the sound is warm, reproducing all the intricacies of the music and loud when you want it to be.
The app allows the manipulation of the sound with its Equalizer and linking speakers is very simple.
The app needs updating to make it more reliable but this doesn’t detract from a perfect speaker sound.

Looking for something portable, easy to use that offers me mid range & low end clarity whilst making dance music on my laptop. I was slowly losing my hearing using headphones. Having the mini rig has answered all my hopes. Portable, durable and sonically up to the job. Thanks, I'm well happy. Cheers

I heard a friend's mini ring 3 for the first time 😃 I was very impressed that such a small speaker produces such a strong sound. I wanted one! And I have💪 Is great! Thank you!

The sound quality of the the Minirig 3 is SO good, it is deep, warm and rich and fills a room without sounding just loud or noisy. The battery life is immense too.
Only slight 'issue' is the current version of the iPhone app is a bit temperamental; but when it does work it has loads of great features to fine tune the speakers performance. But the speaker itself is wonderful and well worth the outlay...

Ive been using Minirig products for about a decade now and they never cease to impress! My recent upgrade to the Minirig 3 is aural heaven. Whatever will they do next?

First time I heard a minirig mini I couldn't believe the sound coming out of such a little thing.
So I bought one. Now my son and my daughter also all have one each because mine blew their previous Bluetooth speakers away.
For the size I don't believe you can beat the sound which is clear, warm and loud.
It's literally my favourite object and it goes everywhere with me.
I recommend to anyone who loves music.

Had a problem with the top ring falling apart on one of my Minirig speakers - when new it had a tiny crack around one of the securing bolts which I didnt think anything of until now when the whole ring just fell apart - as we were about to go on holiday I managed to dismantle the speaker and re-attach the power cable to the on/off switch and the bluetooth aerial and glue the ring back together as a temporary measure - it was clear from when I had it in bits that the securing bolts had been over torqued on manufacture and shattered the plastic ring so it was only a matter of time before it failed.
Then followed an excruciatingly long series of emails with customer services who said that as it was out of warranty then it should be returned at my cost and they would then charge between £10 and £40 to assess and repair plus the return postage - no matter how much I explained that I knew what the problem was and I had already taken the speaker to pieces and was quite confident of doing the repair myself, they point blank refuse to send the retaining ring, despite saying I am happy to pay for it, or accept that as a manufacturing fault that this should be replaced FOC. No wonder people dont buy British made goods if this is the shoddy response!

Fast delivery, superb sound my Son was over the moon, great purchase!

bought two minirigs and a subwoofer, the sound quality and battery are both amazing and are capable to provide a superb sound experience on the go. the app is a bit basic and not very well-designed, but it does the job and allows you to use an equalizer and set the volume levels of each speaker. very impressed and happy with the product!

Just added a minirig sub 3 to my minirig 3 for my home office (not a man cave). It easily entertains me and several neighbours either side. It's the perfect addition to the work environment.

Just got my MINIRIG 3 direct from MINIRIG. Great sound and service

I've known about Minirigs for a number of years now, but I've only recently invested in one, which I mainly use to play backing tracks when I teach woodwind, specifically saxophone. No other portable speaker (that I've tried) can kick out such a great sound as the Minirig - super easy to transport, doesn't need cables as the battery life is fantastic for what I use it for...plus it's a pretty colour!

I wanted to run it plugged into a powerbank for longer battery and remove the built in battery. After 2 emails I was then again asked how will I be using it and what did I need it to do? so again i reply plugged into a power bank playing music? I then get another email again asking why and what for? Eventually I got a helpful answer. But they dragged it out a bit.

I lost my first one, and I had not option than getting another one! I would love to have the money to buy the whole set... One day perhaps

Best sound. Slick understated design without and pretty bouncable in its protective bag, included. These buggers are lasting well over 6 hours on max volume, nicely synching in large numbers! Flash soundsystem! Fast delivery.
