Introduction
The Yasmina Midi (YNDX-00054EMD) smart speaker promises a lot: seamless multilingual support, sophisticated voice recognition, and robust smart home integration. After several weeks of extensive testing, I’m ready to share my experience with this intriguing device. This review will cover its features, performance in various scenarios, and ultimately, whether it lives up to the hype.
Features
The Yasmina Midi boasts an impressive array of features. Beyond the expected music playback and smart home control, its standout feature is its multilingual capabilities. It truly impressed me with its accurate recognition of different Arabic dialects, in addition to its clear and natural English pronunciation. The voice print technology for family member identification worked surprisingly well, reducing the instances of accidental activations. The built-in Zigbee hub is a welcome addition, simplifying smart home device connectivity. The 24W speaker system delivers surprisingly full sound for its size, and the LED display provides useful visual feedback.

Performance
In terms of performance, the Yasmina Midi largely exceeded expectations. Voice recognition was consistently accurate, even from across a moderate-sized room. The speaker’s sound quality was impressive, delivering clear highs and surprisingly deep bass for its compact design. Playing music was a pleasure, as was using the speaker to control my other smart home devices. The setup process was smooth and straightforward, and the responsive touchscreen controls added a layer of convenience. However, I did experience a few minor hiccups. On rare occasions, the voice assistant failed to respond correctly to commands, and I encountered a slight delay when switching between languages. These issues were infrequent, but worth noting.
I particularly appreciated the inclusion of Quran recitation options. The clarity and quality of the recitation were excellent, making it a useful addition for religious users. The integrated jokes and stories provided a touch of unexpected personality. While not a deal-breaker, an expanded library of stories would enhance this feature further.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Excellent multilingual support (Arabic, English, Russian), accurate voice recognition, impressive sound quality for its size, seamless smart home integration (Zigbee), convenient touch controls, user-friendly setup.
- Cons: Occasional inaccuracies in voice command recognition, minor delays in language switching, relatively limited selection of jokes and stories.
Final Verdict
The Yasmina Midi (YNDX-00054EMD) is a strong contender in the smart speaker market. Its outstanding multilingual capabilities and impressive sound quality make it a standout option. While there are a few minor areas for improvement, the overall performance and features make it a worthwhile purchase, especially for users who value both advanced technology and a user-friendly experience. I highly recommend the Yasmina Midi for anyone looking for a versatile and capable smart speaker.
