X-Mini

X-mini Max 2 to be precise, is a piece of rather impressive capsule-shaped gadget I must say. I have never even heard of these miniature speakers until Wayne showed me his X-mini 2. These stereo pairs cost around $60 is definitely a steal and would be a great gift idea for this festive season.

The two modules can be joined and held together at their magnetized bases for the ease of transport and the built quality is very impressive. The one I have here is black with elegant matted finish, which is far better than the cheap shiny plastic that you get with most, well, cheap stuff nowadays. Audio connection is via a 3.5mm headphone jack which is compatible with most portable audio devices and each of these speaker can be daisy chained together by as many X-mini speakers as you can afford to produce HUGE sound! Each speaker has a "Base Xpansion System" which can add extra volume to the speaker for better lower frequency performance.

Each powered by a built-in rechargeable battery, according to the manufacturer will give you more 10 hours of continuous use from a 2.5-hours charge via USB. The sound produces by these speakers is loud and crisp with noticeable distortion only at the upper limit of the volume. Overall, a very impressive ultra portable audio system and would make a great travel companion for both music lovers and gamers.
