Advantages: Great sound, innovative design, superb value

Disadvantages: None really

There are loads of speaker systems out there for your iPod or other brand MP3 player. This one however, differs a great deal. It is so so tiny, with some great design flair added into the deal.

You can pick the XMI X-Mini II up for under £15 now and what you get is a tiny little black speaker. Housed in the speaker is a rechargeable battery. In my use I have got about 6.5 hours of use from a single charge (which is done via USB). You also get an audio cable in the box. This simply connects from the speaker to your iPod. Switch the speaker on, adjust the volume (there is a wheel on the side) and you are good to go. The sound is very good, nice and loud with a good amount of detail. Bass is acceptable too.

The big surprise though is turning the top of the unit. The top portion then springs up and the sound jumps to life. It makes the range of the speaker so much greater. Bass now starts really kicking in. I had this speaker literally moving around my table with the low notes on some house tracks, it was awesome. Then there is another trick to this tiny little powerhouse. If you like it (and I am certain you will), buy a second one. you can then connect them together. In fact you can continue daisy-chaining them together and surround yourself with loads of X-Mini II speakers. now that would be really cool.

The volume is amazing, as is the fullness of sound this tiny speaker delivers. When your finished, pack it into the supplied pouch and save it for another day. A real bargain!

Summary: This is a tiny powerhouse, an ultimately portable speaker that works!
