CONCLUSION

   I used the M9 for a total of 12 days while away from the office and at the end it left me with mixed feelings. The reason I say that is because although audio quality is actually quite balanced with good mids and highs bass levels could be a lot better. Of course the M9 doesn’t feature a bass port so that was to be expected but for people who are looking for a strong wireless speaker in that specific area the M9 is certainly not the one. We also encountered a few (4 during all the days i tested it) quick disconnections while streaming audio to the M9 but this is probably due to the somewhat outdated Bluetooth v2.1 version used. Build quality is also surprisingly good for a wireless speaker although I have to admit that the M22 is a much better overall solution especially if you want to use it outdoors. The LEDs are a nice touch and further add to the looks of the M9 but till this moment I don’t understand why HAVIT didn’t use RGB LEDs and an equalizer mode. Had they done so the M9 would be extremely hard (almost impossible really) to beat in its price category (even more so if they also gave it a bass port). As for battery life HAVIT is somewhat stretching things since at almost full volume we never even reached 15 hours. Of course their numbers may be with the LEDs turned off but if you were to buy the M9 chances are you would have them on at all times.

   One thing good about HAVIT is that they are well aware that they can’t compete with the big names in the industry and that means that their products are priced accordingly. When it comes to the M9 LED Bluetooth Speaker with Powerbank it currently retails for USD59.99 inside the USA (Directly from HAVIT) and for just 39Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) a price tag which I think is well justified for what you’re getting (especially the EU one). Sure you’re not getting the most powerful and highest quality wireless speaker in the market today but it’s a very balanced model that looks great, can be used as a powerbank and is offered at a good price so we strongly recommend checking it out.
