X-mini Speaker ~ A trendy look.

Here comes a pocket-sized savior for laptop owners who have so far been used to the tinny sound their small speakers put out. The X-mini runs the danger of being overlooked, for it is tiny. I'm normally critical of anything that looks suspiciously small (and therefore presumably incapable of driving sound), but in this case I was happily proved wrong. Indeed, I was pleasantly surprised by its performance.

The speakers are a one-stop solution for all those travelers who are looking to carry something less weighty. I was impressed by the words "Hearing is believing" written on the cover.

The player can easily fit anywhere in your laptop bag, and if it’s your office desktop that you are buying the speaker for, you need worry only about locating it amidst all the clutter. The mid section can be unscrewed to reveal a jack in the box, quite literally, for the speaker extends a bit vertically. In performance, this trick only guarantees a slightly improved bass response.
The X-mini uses a standard mini-USB interface to charge, while you can use the 3.5mm pin to plug into your laptop, music player, phone... basically anything that has a 3.5mm jack. For such a small size, this speaker can deliver more than five hours of playback. This is great.

As far as performance goes, I assure you all this harping was not for nothing. The speaker, although being monaural (which means it cannot drive stereo sound), does in fact pack a decent punch. The volume starts jarring when cranked up really high, but it makes it as far loud (in some cases louder, depending on whether you listen out of your laptop, desktop, PSP, or DAP) as your office will allow.
The frequencies are good, so much so that you will enjoy the speakers. I took them out of town, and in the quiet of the night, I had a decent run of music. They cost Rs 1250, which is a brilliant deal. The X-mini delivers good dynamic sound, which is exactly what you pay for.
