18W of sound, with lights that move to the beat
A compact Bluetooth 6.0 speaker with up to 14 hours of playback, IP68 dust and water resistance and Auracast for linking up to 100 speakers. Irish stock, Irish warranty.
Xiaomi Sound Play: a small speaker that puts on a show
The Xiaomi Sound Play is a portable Bluetooth speaker about the size of a water bottle, at 201 mm tall and 415 g. Inside is an 18W racetrack-shaped full-range driver with two passive radiators for the low end, and around it are two lights: a 3D infinity-mirror light on top and an ambient ring at the base that can pulse in time with the music.
The 2600 mAh battery gives up to 14 hours of playback at 40% volume with the lights off. It’s rated IP68 against dust and water, connects over Bluetooth 6.0 with a range of up to 25 m, and has a built-in microphone for hands-free calls. Pair two for stereo, or use Auracast to play the same music on up to 100 compatible Xiaomi speakers.
This listing is the Black Sound Play. The box has the speaker, a charging cable and a manual; there is no plug, so you’ll need a 5V 2A USB charger.
Xiaomi Sound Play price and availability in Ireland
Every Xiaomi Sound Play we sell is EU-version stock shipped from our Irish warehouse by mStore.ie, not a grey import. The price you see includes Irish VAT, there is no customs bill on delivery, and the warranty is handled here in Ireland.
18W driver with two passive radiators
The racetrack-shaped full-range driver is paired with two passive radiators, one outside and one inside, to give the bass more body than the compact case suggests. It’s built for music around the house, in the garden or on a day out rather than for filling a festival field.
| Rated output | 18W |
|---|---|
| Driver | Racetrack full-range, external and internal passive radiators |
| Frequency range | 75Hz – 20kHz |
| Signal-to-noise | ≥95dB |
Lights that keep time with the music
The top of the speaker has a 3D infinity-mirror light and the base has an ambient light ring. Choose from three effects: a ripple, a beat-sync mode that pulses with the track, or a steady glow. Turn the lights off when you want the battery to go further.
- 3D infinity-mirror light on top
- Ambient light ring at the base
- Three effects: ripple, beat-sync and constant
- Multicolour lighting
Stereo with two, or link up to 100
Pair two Sound Play speakers as left and right channels for proper stereo. For a bigger space, Auracast plays the same music on up to 100 compatible Xiaomi speakers: switch each one on and give its Auracast button a short press. Stereo pairing is designed for music; with video, the sound can drift slightly out of sync.
| Stereo pair (TWS) | Yes, two speakers |
|---|---|
| Auracast | Yes, up to 100 speakers |
| Bluetooth | 6.0 |
| Range | Up to 25 m |
14 hours of music, IP68 rated
The 2600 mAh battery runs for about 14 hours at 40% volume with the lights off. Louder playback and the light show will shorten that. IP68 means it’s sealed against dust and handles rain and splashes, but Xiaomi says not to use or charge it underwater or in damp conditions, and the seal can weaken with wear.
| Battery | Lithium-ion, 3.7V / 2600mAh |
|---|---|
| Playback | Approx. 14 hours (40% volume, lights off) |
| Charging input | 5V 2A |
| Rating | IP68 dust and water resistance |
415 g, with a strap and a microphone
At 63.4 × 69.5 × 201.1 mm it slips into the side pocket of a backpack, and the soft rubber strap makes it easy to carry or hang from a bag. The controls are buttons on the body, and the built-in microphone lets you answer a call with a button press when it’s paired with your phone.
- 63.4 × 69.5 × 201.1 mm, approx. 415 g
- Soft rubber carry strap
- Built-in microphone for hands-free calls
- Buttons on the speaker for quick control

Frequently asked questions
Is the Xiaomi Sound Play waterproof?
It’s rated IP68 for dust and water resistance, so rain and splashes are fine. Xiaomi says it isn’t a professional waterproof device: don’t use or charge it underwater or in damp conditions, and bear in mind the protection can weaken with wear.
How long does the battery last?
Up to about 14 hours, measured by Xiaomi at 40% volume over Bluetooth with the lights off. Higher volume and the lighting effects will shorten it.
Does it come with a charger?
It comes with a charging cable but no plug. It charges at 5V 2A, so any USB charger that supplies 5V 2A works.
Can I pair two speakers for stereo?
Yes. Two Sound Play speakers can be paired as left and right channels. Stereo pairing is designed for music; when watching video, the audio may fall slightly out of sync.
What is Auracast and how many speakers can I connect?
Auracast lets one source play on many speakers at once. The Sound Play can link with up to 100 Auracast-compatible Xiaomi speakers: turn each one on and briefly press its Auracast button. How well it works depends on signal conditions and other devices nearby.
Does it work with iPhone and Android?
Yes. It connects over Bluetooth 6.0, so it pairs with iPhones, Android phones, tablets and laptops that have Bluetooth.
Can I take calls on it?
Yes. With the speaker paired to your phone, press the button to answer and talk through the built-in microphone.
Can I turn the lights off?
Yes. Xiaomi’s 14-hour battery figure is measured with the lights off. With them on, you can choose between the ripple, beat-sync and constant effects.
Can it charge my phone?
No. The Sound Play doesn’t have a power bank function. For that, see our chargers and power banks.
Should I buy the Sound Play or the Sound Outdoor?
Choose the Sound Play for a lighter speaker with a longer battery, IP68 and lighting. Choose the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor if you want more volume, with 30W of output.
