Magcubic HY300 Pro+

Magcubic's own Pro+ stands the HY300 swivel body on a 5W SoundBase speaker and adds an air-mouse remote with voice search, so a bedroom film night needs a wall, a Wi-Fi password and nothing else.

Four ways to bring the Pro+ home

A 5W speaker base under the Magcubic HY300 Pro+

Most HY300 projectors are a swivel cylinder with a small speaker tucked inside. The Magcubic HY300 Pro+ sets that cylinder on a SoundBase, a round 5W speaker that doubles as its foot. On a nightstand or a low shelf, the result is dialogue you can follow without a Bluetooth speaker parked next to the bed.

The other upgrades are the ones you feel with the remote in your hand:

  • Air-mouse remote with voice. Wave it and a pointer moves across the picture, which makes app menus and log-in boxes far less fiddly than arrow keys. Voice commands search for titles and switch apps.
  • Wi-Fi 6, dual-band. The 5 GHz band keeps a stream steady when the neighbours' networks crowd 2.4 GHz.
  • Bluetooth 5.4. Pair headphones for a late film, or a bigger speaker for a garden screening.
  • 180° swivel. Tip the lens from the wall straight up to the ceiling without moving the base.

The picture engine is the familiar HY300 one. A native 1280 × 720 LCD panel accepts a 4K signal and scales it down, lit to 200 ANSI lumens with a 2000:1 contrast ratio. That is plenty for a dark bedroom and a stretch for a lounge with the lamps on.

Films on a USB stick play directly, with H.265 (HEVC) decoding for the smaller files most phones and cameras now record. Magcubic rates the light source at 50,000 hours, so there is no lamp to replace the way there was on an old office projector.

Which box is which. The white Pro+ is the classic kit. The gray one runs Android 14, the lens-cap version adds a cap plus manual four-point keystone and 80–100% zoom, and the bundle brings a 47-inch floor tripod along.

The HY300 Pro+ throws 100 inches from two metres away

The Pro+ has a 0.9:1 throw ratio, so the picture grows about 11 cm wider for every 10 cm you pull it back. Magcubic's own figures are a 100-inch picture from about 2 m and an 80-inch picture from 1.6 m (5.2 ft), the size it suggests for everyday viewing.

1.6 m80 in70 inMagcubic's everyday size
2.0 m100 in87 inA bedroom wall, edge to edge
2.6 m130 in113 inThe maximum, dark rooms only

Distances come from the throw ratio and round to the nearest 10 cm. Size and brightness pull against each other: the same 200 ANSI lumens spread over 130 inches look far dimmer than over 80. Keep the biggest pictures for blackout curtains.

The wall matters as much as any setting. A coloured wall tints every face, and a glossy one throws a hot spot back at the sofa, so matte white paint or a pull-down screen wins.

  • Ceiling from bed. On a nightstand under a 2.4 m (8 ft) ceiling, the lens sits roughly 1.7–1.8 m below the plaster, good for a picture around 85–90 inches.
  • Lounge wall. From a sideboard 1.6 m back, 80 inches is the size that stays punchy once the lights are off.
  • Garden sheet. After dusk, a white sheet two metres away takes the full 100 inches.

More distances sit in the HY300 screen size chart, and the brightness settings help squeeze the most from those 200 lumens.

HY300 projector models by type, September 2026. Highlighted: Magcubic HY300 Pro+.

First evening with the Pro+: Wi-Fi, focus and a firmware check

The Pro+ arrives with its power adapter, the remote and a user manual. Plug it in, swivel the lens at a blank wall and the setup screens appear before you have found the light switch. Twenty minutes of setup buys a smooth first film.

  1. Pick a language, then join your Wi-Fi on the 5 GHz band if your router offers one.
  2. Open the system settings and update. Magcubic asks owners to install the latest firmware for the built-in apps to run properly.
  3. Turn the focus wheel until small text on the home screen is crisp at the edges, not only in the middle.
  4. Let the auto vertical keystone square the picture; if the projector sits off to one side, correct the corners by hand.
  5. Pair Bluetooth headphones or a speaker if the 5W base is not enough for the room.

Bluetooth audio always runs a fraction behind the picture. If lips drift from voices on a pair of headphones, switch back to the SoundBase for dialogue-heavy films.

Manual focus, one reach per move. Swivel from wall to ceiling and the distance changes, so the wheel needs a nudge. If that nudge means climbing out from under the duvet every night, the Magcubic HY300 Ultra focuses from the remote.

The air mouse is the piece that tends to go missing under a cushion. Keep these fallbacks in mind:

The rewritten HY300 manual covers the buttons and menus in more depth.

Pro+, 2026 Pro or Ultra: where the speaker base earns its place

The Pro+ sits between Magcubic's compact 2026 HY300 Pro and the HY300 Ultra. Over the Pro, the extra money buys sound and a smarter remote. The Ultra goes further with brighter light and focus from the sofa.

The Pro+ is the one to pick when the projector lives in one room and doubles as its speaker. Travellers who pack it in a backpack every weekend do better with the smaller 2026 Pro. Anyone who swivels between wall and ceiling nightly should weigh the Ultra's electric focus.

Before you order, run through these:

  • Android version. Android 14 is stated for the gray kit and the tripod bundle; pick one of those if app support matters most.
  • Stand or tripod. The bundle saves a separate purchase when the lens must clear sofa backs.
  • Mounting. Beyond the tabletop, the Pro+ takes ceiling and tripod mounts; the HY300 stands and mounts sort them by job.
  • Warranty. Magcubic backs the Pro+ with a one-year manufacturer warranty.

The full breakdown of plus against plain sits in HY300 Pro+ vs HY300 Pro.

Before the lights go down

Setup and screen questions

Does the Magcubic HY300 Pro+ need a separate speaker?

Not for a bedroom or a small lounge: the 5W SoundBase speaker handles those. Bluetooth 5.4 is there for headphones or a larger speaker outdoors.

How far from the wall does the HY300 Pro+ sit for 100 inches?

About 2 m (6.6 ft). The 0.9:1 throw ratio gives 80 inches at 1.6 m and the 130-inch maximum at about 2.6 m.

Is the HY300 Pro+ a 4K projector?

It accepts a 4K signal, but the panel is native 1280 × 720, so every picture is shown at 720p.

Which HY300 Pro+ runs Android 14?

The gray version and the 47-inch tripod bundle state Android 14. Magcubic does not publish an Android version for the white classic kit.

Can the HY300 Pro+ project on the ceiling?

Yes. The body swivels 180° on its base, so it points straight up from a nightstand; refocus by hand after each swivel.
