Xiaomi is widening its audio lineup with a new wireless soundbar and subwoofer bundle aimed at buyers who want more power without stepping into the premium tier. The 2.1-channel package is priced at £159 and delivers up to 300 W, making it a compact home-audio option that puts simplicity and output ahead of advanced networking features.
The system is built around a soundbar and a wireless subwoofer, with Xiaomi stating that three drivers are inside the setup. That combination is meant to give TV audio a fuller character, especially for living rooms or entertainment spaces where a basic bar may feel too limited.
Compact hardware, easier placement
The soundbar measures 840 x 87 x 60 mm, while the subwoofer comes in at 363 x 249 x 249 mm. Those dimensions keep the package relatively manageable for home setups that do not have much room to spare.
Wireless subwoofer support also helps reduce cable clutter during installation. For users who want a cleaner layout around the TV, that design choice makes the system easier to position and adjust.
Connection options focus on practicality
Xiaomi equips the soundbar with coaxial, optical, and HDMI with ARC support. For wireless use, Bluetooth and NFC pairing are available, giving users several ways to connect the system to a TV or other source.
What is missing is Wi‑Fi streaming. That sets the soundbar apart from more expensive models such as Sonos Ray, which does include that kind of connectivity.
Audio features aimed at a broader audience
Beyond the power rating, Xiaomi includes six audio modes along with Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual: X. Those features suggest the company is trying to balance raw output with a more immersive listening experience in a mid-range product.
The setup is clearly designed for buyers who want a straightforward upgrade for TV sound. It offers a mix of wired and wireless connectivity, but it does not try to compete on smart streaming features.
A lower-cost route to a 2.1-channel setup
At £159, the system targets consumers looking for a soundbar-and-subwoofer combination that stays relatively affordable. That pricing positions it as an alternative for people who want stronger home audio without moving into a higher-end category.
Xiaomi says more information is available on its official website. For now, the 300 W wireless soundbar stands out as a compact 2.1-channel package that leans on power, flexible setup, and broad input support rather than Wi‑Fi-based streaming.
