Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Viewers are struck by how closely the Bomber's drivers resemble JBL's Xtreme 2 hardware. Multiple commenters independently note that the speaker appears to use JBL Xtreme 2-style drivers, with one calling it 'amazing for Xiaomi' and another impressed simply by seeing the internals for the first time. One detailed comparison even claims the amp chip (TPA3126) outputs more power per channel than JBL's own TPA3116, though the same commenter feels JBL's software tuning ultimately produces the better sound. This driver similarity is the most consistently mentioned trait across the comments.

Bass output and overall sound quality draw consistent praise. Commenters describe the speaker as having 'got some bass' and producing sound that can rival a JBL Boombox, calling the quality 'cool' and 'pretty good.' Someone also remarks positively on the drivers after seeing a teardown. No commenter directly criticizes the sound signature itself, only the software tuning behind it, suggesting the raw acoustic hardware is well regarded even if refinement is questioned.

A few real-world quirks and unanswered questions surface around ownership. One owner reports a repeated, annoying low-battery voice alert in Chinese and struggles to find an official Xiaomi contact for support, pointing to a support gap for this product. Another jokes about the fabric grille cover closing like a DIY build, and a third suggests buying a replacement cloth mesh cover online to improve its look, hinting at cosmetic or fit issues with the stock cover.
