The X-MI X-mini Max - Sound goes portable
That certainly is true for the X-mini Max portable speaker system. Who would have though that speakers so small could deliver a sound quality so grunty and presence announcing? I have just bought a pair and can only praise them.
For £22, they are by far not the cheapest speakers you can buy (I have seen a set of speakers going for £4 on ebay), but they are definitely worth every penny. They are ultra-portable, the USB charging battery are a god send and the sound quality doesn't disappoint.
While researching portable speaker systems I noticed that X-MI are really pushing the boundaries of design. Although the X-MI Max II speakers look like a Star Wars Clone knock-off, the originals look slick and black. There's something to say about "Once you've gone black, you can't go back!"
I have yet to fully challenge the 10 hour battery life, but based on the build and sound quality, I am confident that they won't disappoint in this respect either. I've tried them with my Ipod, internet radio over my netbook and as external speakers for my speakerphone on the Blackberry. Sound quality was great, although my brother did compalin about some echos when using it with the speakerphone.
My verdict:
If you can get these speakers under £30, they will are the perfect solution for:
- pimping up your laptop audio when listening to music or watching movies;
- sharing your Ipod's music collection with others when on the go;
- and they might even help the next time you have a conference call to close that mega-important deal with only your BlackBerry X-mini Max speakers to hand.
These speakers get's 10 out of 10 from me!
