-
Voices and vocals were mostly praised, with reviewers citing clear podcasts, crystal-clear vocals, and strong narrator or spoken-word performance.

Weight and portability are mostly praised, though a few reviewers found it surprisingly weighty or heavy for its size.
-
Design was mostly praised as portable, premium-looking, simple, or elegant, though MacSources criticized hard-to-read black-on-black labeling.

-
Multi-speaker pairing was strongly praised where tested, with reviewers calling it flawless or magical.
-
EQ customization was widely appreciated, especially the app-based EQ and custom settings, though a few reviewers found the app limited or unnecessary.
-
Frequency balance sharply divided reviewers: many praised the clear, balanced, surprisingly full sound, while others complained about weak bass, muffling, or a phone-speaker-like presentation.
-
App experience is mostly positive and simple, but PCMag reported firmware-update trouble; reviewers otherwise called the app easy, consistent, basic, useful, or intuitive.
-
The wired input was repeatedly treated as a useful bonus, especially because 3.5mm inputs are rare on waterproof portable speakers.

Speakerphone quality was mixed: some reviewers found calls clear and useful, while PCMag and WIRED noted proximity or mic-gain limitations.

Stereo performance improves with two speakers, with some reviewers praising the travel between channels or TWS separation, but single-unit stereo separation was judged cramped or limited.

Reviewers generally found the Mini+ loud enough for small rooms, close listening, and casual outdoor use, but several warned that it is not a real party speaker and lacks head-thumping output.

Drop durability evidence is limited but strong, with TechRadar reporting multiple drops without a problem.
-
