Samsung Level Box Mini Portable Speaker - Reviews
Although the Level Box Mini premiered a long time ago, we didn’t have a chance to see what the Koreans managed to squeeze into this equipment. So when the opportunity presented itself, I took it without thinking, and - to be honest - I was amazed.
The first thing that strikes the Samsung Level Box Mini out of the box (where we will only find an additional USB cable- MicroUSB), its size, design and workmanship.
Samsung Level Box Mini is so small it fits in the palm of my hand
Looks-wise, it's one of the best-looking devices in this class, and I personally appreciate the small, angular styling, which means there's virtually no environment where the Level Box Mini would look out of place. The speaker is available in four colors.
The perforated panels on the front, sides and back blend neatly into the device's sleek top panel, where you'll find function buttons. Next to the on/off button there are volume controls and a multi-function "Play" button.
What pleases is the quality of workmanship, and what surprises even more than appearance— everything is great here, the buttons don’t jump, rubberized feet keep the equipment in constant contact with the surface, and the unexpectedly large mass only enhances the feeling of solidity.

Connection is very simple
Samsung Level Box can be connected to a sound source by three in various ways. On the back you will find an analog 3.5mm (if someone doesn't want to use wireless connection, and, for example, a cable from an old mp3 player). Most people will probably connect via Bluetooth or NFC.
How does the speaker play?
When connected via wireless network The speaker will emit the sound of a call being received and is ready for use. All you have to do is select an album and play the melody.
Before I get to describing the sound of the Level Box Mini, let me remind you what we're talking about. We're talking about tiny, thin equipment that costs about $90. If anyone is expecting cool bass, well... you should definitely look elsewhere.
But if someone is looking for clear mids and highs, the Samsung Level Box Mini reproduces them very well. Of course, we cannot fool physics here either; the sound coming out of a small box will be inferior to the sound coming from a large one.
However, it really is beyond my expectations.
This formulation will not be embarrassing given the size bluetooth speaker. Even at the highest volume levels, the Level Box Mini does not wheeze, although the sound is generated by a 55 mm stereo speaker with a power of 4W.
The classical music sounds extracted from the speaker are surprisingly pleasant and surprisingly detailed. Rock music sometimes plays differently and a lot depends on the recording style of the mix. In the pop repertoire, in turn - despite the lack of bass - the Samsung Level Box Mini again turns out to be surprisingly detailed.
Again, I emphasize, we say that everything is relative here. Of course, this is not at the level of large audiophile sets. But for a tiny, inexpensive Bluetooth speaker, the sound quality is surprisingly good.
Those who like to listen to audiobooks while cooking will be pleasantly surprised how skillfully the Samsung Level Box Mini copes with this task; the voices of teachers do not merge even in multi-user versions. Everything can be heard loud and clear.
To take full advantage of this tiny box, you must install the available Samsung app Level Box for Android devices.
First of all, we will be able to adjust the volume of both the smartphone and the audio equipment, configure the SoundAlive equalizer (which will actually be able to extract even more from the Samsung Level Box Mini) and find there a basic graphical guide to using the device.
In addition, you can determine which applications can help Level Box Mini play notifications, and also configure TTS technology (Text-To-Speech), which can read the notification out loud to us from some applications or use voice assistant S-Voice (only available on Samsung smartphones). We can also assign your favorite multimedia applications, which will be shown later in the notification bar along with the hardware connection status.
Samsung Level Box Mini isn't perfect
There is no perfect equipment. Personally, I think that the disadvantages of the Level Box Mini are really minor ones.
First of all, the quality of phone calls through the speaker was a little disappointing. I heard everything loud and clear, but the person on the other end complained that my voice was very muffled and sometimes there was an unwanted echo. Which, by the way, should not be there at all, because the speaker is equipped active system noise reduction and reverberation.
I also noted the stability of the connection as a drawback, although it should be noted that this could be due to completely independent factors, such as the building materials in my apartment or network divisions. But the fact remains that the speaker turned off at less than half the permissible distance specified by the Bluetooth range.
However, as long as the phone and the speaker weren't too far apart, the sound never lost clarity.
The most important advantage is operating time
Of course, I didn't check the stated times on the manufacturer's website before testing. The device was fully charged and I started listening to it without monitoring battery consumption. After the first 3-4 hours of listening, I began to wonder if the app was displaying the battery indication correctly. Thus, a whole week passed, and I charged the Samsung Level Box Mini only once, although I used it for 3-5 hours a day.
During my tests, I not only managed to achieve the manufacturer's claimed 25 hours - I was able to achieve almost 28, and 1000 hours of standby time is not an empty promise. The Level Box Mini simply doesn't need to be turned off because the speaker almost never drains battery power when not in use.
When you've used up all the power in this little device, simply plug it into your regular charger for a smartphone and in less than two hours, it is ready for use again.
Bottom line
The Samsung Level Box Mini portable speaker, despite its small size, was a big surprise for me. It's the perfect companion for my bedside table in the bedroom, kitchen or closet, wherever I am. This is equipment that you can turn on at night without fear, and listen to sounds very good quality with calm dynamics.
I didn't expect much, but I got a lot. To be completely honest, I will say that this speaker is not the best best bluetooth speaker. In my opinion, this status still belongs to the JBL Flip 2, which is characterized by better diaphragm placement and a more dynamic sound. However, the difference in sound is so small that when making a purchasing decision, I would choose the Level Box Mini due to its sensationally long battery life.
