MiOYOOW DIY Bluetooth-Compatible Speaker Kit, Mini Stereo Sound Amplifier Soldering Projects with LED Flashing Light, Electronic Soldering Practice Kit for School STEM Education and Home Office Use

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.

I enjoyed putting this together, and the sound quality is alright for the price paid and work put into it, but I must be completely honest… the final assembly of the device, specifically the opaque shell, was one of the most infuriating projects I’ve undertaken in a long time. Plenty of times I thought to give up on assembly, and I could certainly see why some people would give up on the final assembly.But the speaker sounds good!

I liked the composition of the box. The soldering went well and the instructions were easy to follow. :)The device is able to be quite loud, which is nice.Definitely a nice kit to have bought!

The media could not be loaded. This project is kind of like the line from the Gin Blossoms' song: If you don't expect too much you might not be let down.The good: It's a fun and pretty simple project that can be completed in a bit more than 2 hours, depending on how fast you work. If you're working with a kid, probably this will be done in a couple sittings. It's cool looking and gives the student a sense of accomplishment when it flashes and lights up.The not-as-good: Yeah, the sound quality is crap, but it's $20 project, not Bowers & Wilkins so what do you expect? Some of the parts don't fit quite right. Like the speaker holes weren't big enough to hold the speaker. That 's just kind of sloppy design IMO. And the instructions might have you scratching your head a bit. (I highly recommend scanning the QR code and downloading the PDF instructions as opposed to the one pager that comes with it.)So, all in all, a fun little way to spend an evening or two, If you have a younger kid, they probbaly won't mind the sound quality either.

This was a fun project that I used to help teach my teenager how to solder. I suspect it would have been more difficult if I didn't already know how to assemble electronics. The instructions weren't great, but we had a working speaker by the end of the project.

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.

This is a review of the less expensive multicolor LED it.The parts are packaged well and everything was included along with some extra LED's.The extra LEDs are helpful if you incorrectly solder the polarity. Just make sure you solder the long leg of the LED to the positive!Instructions are provided with QR code and are mostly easy to follow.I would suggest soldering the three jumpers wires before install LEDs to make it easier for access.Make sure the LED legs are not too long or short when you bend 90 degress to fit front acrylic panel.The acrylic panel assembly as mentioned in other reviews is a little challenging. I suggest using clear tape to hold not when installing screws.The was a simple project that can be completed within two hours and is actually a useful functional bluetooth speaker with remote control that is fun to use and listen too.The lights which follow the music is an extra bonus!
