X-Mini II Capsule Speaker      [Back to Products]

I needed a speaker for one of my laptops because the volume of the sound the built in speakers generate is really low. At times I wanted to watch a movie or listen to music with friends while traveling, and it never worked out. I researched all the different small speakers available until I came across the X-Mini and X-Mini II. The X-Mini II is the newer generation, it is a little bigger, but has a cooler design, more powerful sound, and the most important thing, a super long battery life (11 hours!). The great thing about it is that it's pretty economical, for under $30 you can grab one of these bad boys. You can even buy multiple and daisy-chain them (see picture below). I liked that the built-in battery is chargable via a mini USB port. You can use this speaker on almost anything: an iPhone, a blackberry, a laptop or desktop, etc. it's super handy. The jack is a little short, so be mindful of that, you will need an extension if you plan on having it more than a few inches away from the source of sound. Don't expect audiophile quality sound, your expectations should be in line with the size of this device, the X-Mini II produces muffled highs, tinny mids, and mudled bass. Keeping in mind that this is a ultra-portable speaker, any bass would be awesome, and the X-Mini II does attempt it but the result is mostly distortion unfortunately. In any event, the overall results are very good, it produces clear, loud sound from any source on the go!

Review
Even though the speaker costs less than $30, the sound is very good, and very loud for a speaker of this size. That said, don't expect miracles. Features:

  • Award-winning compact capsule design, black matte finish
  • High quality sound, with clear bass resonance
  • 11 hours of continuous playback from one charge, superior on-the-go audio
  • Modular 'Buddy-Jack' design: connect a row of X-Minis to get jaw-dropping audio
  • Built-in retractable 3.5mm audio cable offers convenient portability
I am very happy with them overall. I can take them with me on weekend trips, you can create an instant dance floor anywhere any time :)
