Aiwa MI-X 150 Retro Plus X speaker review: Blending vintage charm with powerful sound

livemint.com:

₹23,990, we had the opportunity to test this speaker and evaluate if its price is justified in this detailed review.At the top of the speaker, you'll find all the controls. I appreciate it when brands include a wide range of features in their products, especially if they're easily accessible. Along with the elegant power switch, there are three knobs, three buttons, and connectivity ports.

The bottom of the speaker has four rubber feet to keep it stable.The speaker comes with a strap that you can remove, making it portable and easy to carry. It weighs around 3.5 kg, but it doesn't feel too heavy and can be carried with one hand comfortably. While I wouldn't say it's the best retro-style wireless speaker I've ever seen, I can confidently say it's among the finest.The overall sound quality is satisfying, with ample controls to customise the audio to your liking.

The speaker features three knobs on top that adjust the bass, treble, and volume. This design eliminates the need for a digital equaliser on your smartphone to fine-tune the audio quality. Equipped with two 40W drivers, the speaker delivers a total of 80W of high-quality sound.I tested the speaker with various music genres, including classic rock, hip-hop, Bollywood, and J-pop.

The audio quality is crisp and clear - even at higher volumes, I didn't experience any distortion. The ability to control the bass and treble is particularly beneficial, as it allows for manual adjustments when switching between genres. While the lows and mid are well-balanced, I noticed the highs to be slightly overpowering.
