Minirig - Minirig 4

i seriously doubt the credibility of rtings' measurements. rtings measurements of the minirg 4 would suggest that it is a warm sounding speaker with rolled off highs, which is contradicted by measurements done by alan. alan and oluv's measurements are far more accurate from my experience. but to get the full picture you will need an anechoic chamber or a free field impulse measurement device (like dynaudio's jupiter or CEA2034 spinorama measurements from a klippel NFS)

I have both. OB-4 only at home and 2 Minirig 4 for travel.

Finicky sometimes but you can always connect them. Well worth it as a minor hiccup. I have the M3s. The M4s might be better

Yeah, they have some minor hangups. I've noticed when pairing in Stereo mode, the sure fire way to insure a connection is to make sure the sub is unplugged from both speakers when pairing. I've never really had issues pairing my speakers when my sub is unplugged. Then when paired just go into the app settings toggle stereo lock and you are set. As long as you power on the satellite speaker first and the secondary speaker soon after they will always pair back up without issue. To avoid all this I just toggle the setting to never turn my Minirigs off after 30 minutes. Love my speakers and I dont see any other small portable bluetooth speaker comparing. Love mine so much. Really upset with some of the changes they made to the M4's though. They removed low/high gain functionality and really dumbed down the app. No 5 band EQ anymore. Just bass, treble and volume. So dumb... Makes me reluctant to upgrade from the M3's unless I seriously need to. Also the M4's wont pair with the M3's. Not sure what they were thinking.

I have to wade in here on the Minirig 4. It sounds okay for sure, but the Bluetooth connectivity is absolutely awful. Be it a laptop to phone, five to seven feet is your limit. If there is a wall, even drywall, in between, forget it. It's such a shame. As a DJ, the aux input is fantastic, but as a Bluetooth speaker, absolutely not.

I just got my Minirig 4, it’s super compact cylinder shape , exactly 4” (101.6mm) diameter , 2 7/8” (73mm) tall. Weighs about 1.25lbs (563 grams). The built in amp is rated to 50w. This things gets loud, the new app allows for 5 band eq adjustments. Down sides it doesn’t auto connect, so you have to to manually select it from your Bluetooth setting(speaking as an iPhone user.) it also is only water resistant (splash resistant, likely ipx7. It is pricey, and ships from the uk. But the build quality is superb. All aluminum housing, thick rubber base, and aluminum grille. It comes with a heavy duty “case” with a mesh upper that allows sound to play within the soft case and a loop for included carabiner. It is available on Amazon, but it’s tough to find, try “Minirig uk” in the search. Listed at 199$ for the larger Minirig 4, the Minirig mini 2 is only 15w of power.

Mini rig 4 ? They are very solidly made, and I like the sound profile, but others may want more bass

I got a second Minirig 4, and it made a very noticeable difference to the sound clarity (which I had been happy with) I now put the speakers either side of my at my desk while I work and they are wonderful. So the second Minirig 4 is my favourite

My JBL charge 3 is waaay more than loud enough to use in the shower, and is totally waterproof (can even be submerged up to several metres). This is why although i now have a Minirig 4 / Sub 3 (2.1 setup) i am going to keep my JBL charge 3 (2.0 setup) for use at the beach, in the rain etc. As Minirigs are not waterproof at all unfortunately. The only thing about JBL’s is they are bass heavy, which is great for electronic / dance / hiphop / reggae music, but not so good for podcasts etc. Still perfectly fine, just not as clear as say, a Minirig

The new Minirig 4s are out. Kinda wish I had those. They have usb c on it now so you can even use it as a power bank if your phone goes low. They sound great and I always use it in low mode for regular listening. High mode goes real loud but it’s more high and mid prominent so better if you have it paired with the minirig sub. Wife got me a whole setup and it can get pretty loud for parties. We’ve set up little DJ stations on cookouts and stuff with the setup and it perfect for outdoors bc it’s so rugged. If you get one just try one and see if you like it. Modular so you can link up as many as you want.

For traveling I always bring a single Minirig. Long battery, tough, and great bass for a small dude. If we pack good I throw a second one in my wife’s bag. However I did love the Soundlink mini 2 for the longest until it died

I have both. Get the OB4 over Minirig. Minirig is only better for me for travel bc of the size and battery and toughness. If you’re using at home OB4 100%

Minirig 4 are the absolute best I could find, though they’re pricey and they are shipped from the UK, so may not be worth it for everyone depending on where you’re from. As a disclaimer, I haven’t heard them directly yet, as they’re currently in the mail, but everything I could find online seems to say they’re near perfect. Zero latency stereo mode with wires, or Bluetooth stereo without. Can be coupled with a subwoofer or up to 4 total units, iirc

Nice! Mine just arrived, finally, after spending the week in customs. Excited to try them out

They sound great! I haven’t had much chance to use them yet, but my initial experiments have left me impressed. Good sound quality, surprisingly decent bass quality for the size (not too bloated and boomy, but present), and capable of getting extremely loud (I only tested it at like 25% in my apartment, and that was almost too loud). The stereo Bluetooth pairing is a super nice-to-have feature as well, even if I intend to use them mostly in wired mode

DEFINITELY go with a minirigs 4 ..... watch some youtube comparisons .... they are by far the loudest small size speakers (tho arguably not the deepest bass but very clean sounding....)
