Description

Ever since the X-Mini Capsule Speaker appeared in 2008, we have been completely blown away by the absolutely astounding sound quality and volume that these little gems produce! The X-Mini Capsule Speaker regularly stops customers in their tracks at our retail store, people cannot believe that what they are hearing is eminating from these handy pocket sized units. So when we heard that XMI the company responsible for the X-Mini, was launching a new version, we were suitably excited! We are very glad to report that the X-Mini II doesn't disappoint, again the boffins have succeeded in getting a Quart out of a Pint pot! Retaining all of the best features from the groundbreaking first generation unit, the second generation comes with a number of innovations that combine to create a greater audio experience for the user. Larger Driver. The first and most recognisable difference with the X-Mini II is that it's slighly larger than the original model. The X-Mini II now boasts a 40mm driver, that delivers an even richer and fuller sound. Longer Battery Life. The X-Mini II now boasts an improved battery life, a staggering 11 hours of continuous playback from just one charge. "Buddy Jack" Design. A brand new feature to the X-Mini II is the "Buddy Jack" system. This allows you to connect one X-Mini II to another and another and... well, you get the picture. Capable of forming a near endless "Daisy Chain". Combine your X-Mini II with your friend's for quite simply jaw dropping audio! Built In 3.5mm Audio Connection. The refinement of the original X-Mini continues with the inclusion of an inbuilt 3.5mm audio connection cable. No more running the risk of forgetting to pack the charging/connection lead when you leave... the connection cable is always in reach. The audio cable neatly slips away underneath the speaker when not in use. Box Contains X-Mini II Capsule Speaker USB Charging cable Felt carry bag

Cutest little speaker you'll be likely to see Feb 17, 2010 By T. Niccum
My wife and I had been on a recent trip to the tropics and a few days it rained to the point that we really couldn't be outside much. Stuck in our room, we turned to my iPhone. I had loaded up some comedy CDs from iTunes prior to our trip. If we laid quitely on the bed we could listen to the iPhone, and it was OK, but about what you'd expect. Weak volume, tinny, etc. When we got home I thought I'd research to see if there were very light, easy to transport speakers. Being a fairly light packer I wanted my solution to be very small and light.

I stumbled on the X-Mini II on Amazon during my research, and ordered it. What a nice surprise. The speaker is not much bigger than a golf ball, but expands a bit when you twist it - there's an accordian-like structure that allows it to elongate. You don't have to do that, but the sound seems a bit better if you do. The x-mini comes with a small USB to USB-mini cable for recharging. Mine came fully charged and I used it for an hour or so... it didn't need to be recharged even then. Since i carry an iPhone I always have some way of charging that device, and whatever method I use will also work with the x-mini.

The sound was quite surprisingly good. Deep and as loud as I can imagine needing it. I don't know if you could use it for a big party, but I'm sure in a room with several people it would be just fine. I think you'll be surprised by how good it sounds.

Good, but there is better Feb 20, 2011 By Luv2Fish
This is a review I left under my wifes name under "Altes-Lansing iM-237" review. I am also leaving it here for those of you who might need another speaker option.

After a long and lengthy research process here on Amazon, Youtube, and many other "review" sites, I narrowed it down to these two speakers. Unable to make up my mind, and didn't want to get buyers remorse, I decided to buy both.

The short version of this review is the Altec iM-237 is the winner here in my opinion. The reasons for this are in the "long version" to follow.

I recently recieved a Zune HD player (love it!). I am an active outdoorsman who spends alot of time hunting and fishing in remote areas, but love my music when I get back to camp. Hense, the need for a small, portable speaker.

If I,(you) were to buy the X-mini only, we would both be very happy and impressed with it. For such a small unit it really puts out nice sound. The built in rechargable battery is a nice option, but for me, in some of the areas I camp, I do not always have access to a 12volt charging source. It seems well built and the option of connecting these speakers with more speakers is another nice option I think. Like I said earlier, if I just bought this speaker, I would be happy, but when compared side by side with the Altec, big difference.

The Altec is larger than the X-mini, (little larger than a can of tuna), and comes with a nice, somewhat hardside case, the mini, a little cloth bag. The Altec is another well built speaker. This one runs on 3 aaa batteries which for me is more flexible than a rechargable unit. Run time has yet to be determined since I have not had these units long enough to find out.

I plugged the Altec into the X-Mini to make it easier to do my side by side comparison. I cranked up the volume and turned on the speakers, first the Mini. Wow, impressive, handles volume well, heck the dang thing vibrates all over table! a little tinny, mids were ok, bass was ok too. I turned down the Mini, which has its own volume control,(nice), and turned on the Altec, Wow times two!. It seem to fill the room with a much richer, deeper sound that was instantly noticable vs the Mini. I continued this back and forth, one on, one off experiment with a wide variety of music and it just kept confirming Altecs better sound. Actually, the best sound achieved was when I had both speakers on at the same time, incredible!

In conclusion, I think you would have to buy 2 Minis to out due the Altec, but if I was going to buy 2 units, I would buy another Altec and a splicer.

Hope this helps!

Loving it! Feb 23, 2010 By a buyer of stuff
I just received this speaker and I love it! The color is great.Size wise the speaker is about half the size of a tennis ball, expanding it makes it a bit larger.Build quality is very nice.Sound quality is excellent for it's size, really it's quite amazing.It's loud and without sounding tinny or distorted.I use it with my DSlite, DSiXL, netbook and my Ipod Nano.Battery life is amazing!

My only minor quibble is that the cord is really short ( look at the customer submitted photos on the Black X-Mini II speaker) Also , you must remember to turn it off after use.

Overall, this is one of those rare items that you will love instantly.A nice treat for yourself.

***update***

Ive now had this about 8 months and use it daily and it still works great!

Best Speaker for Netbook Computers Apr 21, 2010 By J. C. McGleish
I am one of these people who use a netbook computer for many applications, including YouTube, Audio Books, and Music Listening. The only problem is that small laptops do not have speakers with good, clear sound. Enter the X-Mini II Portable Capsule Speaker.

It is small, doesn't take much space in the carrying bag (or desktop), and has an incredibly clear and loud sound. It literally transforms your laptop! I have been able to play YouTube videos and Audio Books for friends in restaurants and they have no problem hearing the sound. And I mean hearing it *clearly*.

This tiny miracle is a perfect gift for anyone that has a small (13") laptop or netbook. The improvement in sound is stunning. A convenient cord is built into the unit. Every 11 hours the unit can be charged by plugging a small extension cord into the USB port of the laptop. The rechargeable battery does the rest.

The styling and design of this unit have won numerous awards. It's truly unique. And the speaker twists open to enhance the bass. For such a little unit, the sound is just remarkable. In particular, the sound is very clear and it's easy to understand singing or audio books.

I haven't yet daisy-chained two speakers together, because I gave the 2nd one to a friend with a netbook. It was just too good . . . I had to share it. Appropriate for iPods, mp3 players, tape players and small laptop computers. You'll never have to buy a battery and it will enhance any netbook you connect it to.

The red wine color is very stylish. The volume control on the side is easier to adjust than trying to fiddle with the computer volume. The X-Mini II speaker is like a "product of the year". I totally love mine!

Decent sound for what it is Mar 30, 2010 By Bruce K. "Bruce K"
Just received this little speaker and am very pleased with it. The sound quality is fine for the size and price. I laugh when I see negative reviews on this little speaker for its lack of power, stereo sound, bass response, etc. People, these are not Martin Logan Vantage or Purity speakers. This is a basic speaker that extends the sound quality and volume of a MP3 player, a mini or laptop computer. For that purpose it is fine. If you require stereo sound, use your ear phones or head sets or plug it into your home stereo. I use it on a HP mini for MS Streets and Trips GPS and some music. It will also be used in the future for presentations where the sound quality will be greatly appreciated by all who are trying to hear the presentation. The sound is clear and is a very distinct improvement over the computer speakers. I found the sound rich and full when the speaker is in the open position. It sounds a little tinny when it is in the closed position but still better than the computer speakers. The added volume and clarity is a real plus over the built in computer speakers. The only negative I can think of is the mini plug cord is very short. Works great when I use the GPS and the speaker is close to the computer but otherwise it is a bit short. Since you can also use the included mini USB plug for receiving input, it is not a big deal. For those who still insist on trying to get full hi fidelity sound, try burning this speaker in for a 1000 hours, it may help.
