Minirig 3 Review – Why this is the Bluetooth Speaker you should buy! — Audiophile ON

Unfortunately, I have not tested or reviewed the Minirigs speakers with the addition of the, but I would look to doing this in the future. Stand-alone, the Minirigs speaker, has a lot of basses, so I’m not sure without testing whether it would be too much bass with a subunit or make it sound even more impressive.

The way it works is your link in the subunit to the speaker and should significantly boost the low end. As I said I haven’t had the chance to play with one of these, but it could be an exciting addition if you don’t mind carrying the extra weight.Sound Quality

Even though it has been a few years since the Minirigs came out still regard it as the best-sounding Bluetooth speaker on the market also edging out Bang & Olufsen’s A1. The Minirig 3 is on an entirely different level.

The main reason that the Minirigs sound so good comes down to the big single-unit driver on the inside. Almost all these other companies have taken the approach of creating multi-driver Bluetooth speakers, whereas Minirigs has opted for a single extremely high-end unit.

The result, when put side by side with the competition, is dramatic and the Minirigs 3 sounds better than all others I have tested. To be honest, it also sounds better than more significant semi-portable speakers 5-10 times the size of the Minirigs.

The sound is full and rich, with lots of detail and minimal distortion. Even when you push the speaker to its total volume, it sounds incredible and results in a slight clipping of the bass instead of completely degrading the sound.

It sounds transparent and open with air about it, and the bass can hit seriously hard. All-out sub-bass is not on the level of a full-size speaker, but it blows away anything from B&O or Bose.

The sound signature is V-shaped with peaky highs and big lows, but if you desire a different tuning, you can cut the highs or lows with the EQ and expand the midrange to give an overall flatter profile.

Tips for a better-sounding Bluetooth speaker.

A tip that is worth mentioning (and one that can be applied with whatever speaker you end up buying) is positioning your speaker for the best sound quality.

If you want to amplify the sound, consider putting it near a wall. The music will be much fuller and the bass more profound. Even better, stick it in a corner. Finally, try to keep your speaker on a solid surface. This will allow keep distortion down and further enhance bass.

Minirig 3 – The best portable Bluetooth speak of 2019

Minirigs didn’t pay me for this review. Given my enthusiasm for the Minirigs 3 throughout this review, I must put that out there. It’s just such an excellent speaker that, price permitting, I wouldn’t recommend anything else.

Since our review of the original Minirigs speaker, I know many people who have bought them, and they are shocked by how good it is. It blows the competition out of the water, but relatively few people even know it exists and continues to buy sub-par speakers like the B&O A1 (which I also own and hardly use). It’s an incredible little speaker with the best build, battery life, and best sound for its size. It’s a no-brainer.
