I was not expecting to enjoy the BlueAnt X5i as much as I did for my review.
I didn’t expect it to be a disappointing product at all – reviewing the BlueAnt Soundblade earlier this year was enough for me to know that the Aussie audio company produces high-quality gear.
But I’m not one for karaoke. I would never be the frontman in a rock band – I’d be the rhythm guitarist in the background. The idea of singing – and having my voice amplified while doing it – isn’t really my thing.
It is, however, my 13-year-old daughter’s thing. And together, we have had a lot of fun with the X5i’s twin microphone setup.
The speaker is simple to use, sounds great and looks good. It’s still a premium product within the party speaker space, but in my opinion, the cost is worth it.
