X-MINI v1.1 - A sound system in a capsule

   Have you noticed the X-MINI? This is a small capsule speaker designed and created to work with mobile devices like phones, portable media players, portable game station, tablet, laptop... you name it.
   What is interesting about this little speaker is that the size does not matter. This is as loud as a normal PC stereo speaker but has an amazing sound quality. 

The technical specifications are:
- Dimensions: 65.2mm x 50.1mm (Closed BXS)
- Net Weight: 57.4g
- Speaker: Magnetically Shielded 36mm (4Ω)
- Frequency Response: 120Hz - 20kHz
- Signal-to-Noise: ≥89dB
- Distortion: ≤0.3%
- Playback Time: up to 6 hours
- Battery Charge Time: 1 hour


   In the package you will find:
- X-mini v1.1 capsule speaker
- USB cable
- product manual
   That`s right! - it has it`s own rechargeable battery and a good power performance also.You can charge it on your computer through the USB cable. You will probably not believe this but one of the smallest speakers in the world has a bass management system. The capsule can be extended just like an accordion which makes it to vibrate and act like a sub-woofer.
   When is not extended the speaker has a lid that protects it from dust and other particles that might damage it. But the lid can work as a sound reflector and can direct the music to you. What I like the most is that you can connect this to any device using the 3.5" plug. I bought 2 of these and connected both to my HTC Desire.
   How did I managed to connect both? Well the speakers can connect to each other through the 'buddy-jack' system as the producer has named it. Each capsule has a 3.5" jack so you can plug one in another. There is also a record for this - they connected 1000 speakers.
   I really like this and I can tell you that I now have with me a portable media station, and if there is one required for a small on the spur of the moment party, my Desire and the 2 speakers will create the proper environment.
   There are also other small speakers which you can check on the producer`s website - www.x-mini.com. I bought these from www.fungadgets.ro (by the way - great service) and I plan to buy in the future another 3... just so I can hear every instrument in a song :).
