MiOYOOW DIY Bluetooth Speaker Kit, STEM Soldering Practice Kit for Adults

ASE Certified Master Technician with 30 years experience. This was a fun kit to make. Not too much soldering though. Easy soldering with nothing too small or difficult. Sounds good for what it is. Connects well every time. Instructions were incorrect on one step. The step to connect the light control to the power supply. I was able to connect it to the switched 5V power and ground circuit at the switch and it works perfect. The screws holding all the panels together were a challenge for my FAT FINGERS but I like a good challenge. My switch was too large and too stiff and cracked the panel when I tried to install. I would heat it up a little to make it pliable or trim the tabs off next time. I liked this so much I ordered another one for my wife. Hers was missing a couple screws and they quickly replaced the missing parts with another kit. I was also able to replace my broken panel out of the replacement kit. This is a great beginner kit. This was her third kit to make and she loved it as well.

Good for the price, it sounds good, did some modification and put some vinyl on the casing, did put a battery to make it portable, retained the original plug for charging the battery and installed charging module for the battery. Looks cool and the quality of it is perfect would recommend this for beginners who wants to learn how to solder and enhance soldering skills to take it further. very satisfied with this product. Very easy to assemble, The size of it is cute size but hase a powerul sound.

It's a pretty simple kit. I bought it because of its looks. There are multiple versions of this kit, and you get the version you get randomly. The included folded single sheet instructions are not complete. There is a QR code to the fully updated instructions that works for all versions of this kit. The sound is meh at best, mainly because of the acrylic case. The speakers are not bad for their size and power rating. But the acrylic case is just a bad enclosure for them. The case is also a pita to assemble. It would take a wall of text for me to explain the best methods to get it together, so I'll just let you the buyer figure it out, lol. You can solder the electronics up in 10-15 minutes. You'll spend the next hour or two getting the case together. My biggest criticism is with the LED's. They are rgb so they can be any color. For some reason, the tend to heavily biased to red. Yes, they will change colors, 95% of the time, they are gonna be so hue of red. All in all, it's cheap, sounds OK at best, and doesn't really look as great as I'd hoped it would since the LED's like red so much. But it's still simple and a kinda cute little tech toy. Worth it for under $20 if you're looking for something unique looking to toy with.

The overall quality of the boards and pieces are fine for what you're paying. The case on the other hand, is some of the most cheapskate garbage I think I've ever seen in a DIY kit ever. It's made obvious that the case is laser cut acrylic. What's not made obvious is that the acrylic is as thin as plastic on a cd case. Any sort of pressure or twist will shatter the acrylic, making the case unusable. Also, the way to assemble the case with screw fasteners is horrible. Overall I'm left with a working soldered Bluetooth speaker with no case. Shoebox and hot glue, here I come.

Overall the experience is fine. It teaches what the main purpose is intended of soldering components to a board. The speaker quality is poor but, again not the purpose of the project. The case that the entire project is enclosed in is garbage and cracks easily. It is more trouble than what it’s worth to assemble the case as the hardware is so tiny and hard to handle. Instructions are clear and easy to understand.

Possibly the best 24 bucks I've ever spent. I built it in an evening, the hardest part is assembling the case, good soldering practice for anyone who has an idea of how to do it, complete noobs should watch some u tube vids before attempting it, the only problem I found was that the power switch would not fit into its hole, I used a nail file to lengthen the hole in a couple of minutes, the case will crack if abused. Once it's assembled it is quite sturdy and the sound quality and volume are great for the price, surprisingly loud, no real distortion at max volume, obviously not audiophile quality but I was impressed by the sound quality. The bluetooth is also very good, long range, easy connections. I like the lightshow, some people might be able to modify it to suit their taste. I'm thinking about putting a battery in it to make it more portable. If you think you want one buy it, you won't regret it.

For a beginner electronics project this is pretty cool. It’s great for working on those soldering skills and gives you some basic electronics teaching. My only real negative was the very this acrylic used for the structure and the tricky screw and nut assembly. A little bit thicker material would have been nice, it’s 1/16”, 1/8” would have been better. Once you master the screws it ended up being fairly sturdy….. a note to anyone buying this, the rectangular cut out for the switch is a bit too tight, mine cracked at one of the corners, use a nail file to open it up a pinch. The sound quality is pretty good and it makes a good little desktop speaker. Overall, not a bad purchase

My grandson said it was easy to put together and sounds great. the battery life is pretty good. overall a quality kit.
