I like it because it makes the design product stand-out and look even more interesting.

You can use Mira to play music or as a speaker phone. And it has an integrated stand that doubles as a hook allowing you to take it with you and use it in various settings; You can hang it on your shower head, door knob, or - uhm - even on a branch of a tree.

The design of the box itself looks very elegant and high-end.

That's my Mira by Braven HD speaker! Handsome, right?

The brushed metal plate in front definitely makes Mira look more elegant, sleek, and contemporary. I think this design is a classic that can go well in any modern interior set-up.

The ports are neatly hidden and protected against water damage underneath this rubber flap.

Lifting Mira out of its tray, we'll see the other stuff included in the package.

The complete retail package includes the unit itself, user manual, wire for connecting Mira to another speaker or non-Bluetooth devices, microUSB to USB cable for charging it, and a water-proof carrying case.

Mira by Braven has four clickable hardware buttons in front - three of which serve multiple functions.

It's really easy to pair Mira with your smartphone. Simply turn it on and press the pairing button. Then, go to your handset's settings, turn on Bluetooth, and look for BRAVEN Mira; Just on click to start pairing and you're good to go.

This is the integrated stand that doubles as a hook.

Pull it up completely and - as I've said - you can use it to hang the speaker on any knob.

Or you can lift it partially to make the speaker stand.

You can, of course, put the speaker flat on the table or make it stand like this -- either way, it looks great. I usually use it standing up like this to better project the sound to the direction I want.

As for the sound quality, you can't really compare it with speakers that cost tens of thousands of pesos but for its price, Mira is more than good enough. Basses are solid and rambling - and they don't crack - while trebles and vocals are crystalline and bright.

The BRAVEN Mira is now available in Black and Silver for only Php 4,450.
