X-Mini Max II Speakers - Funky Egg That Packs a Punch

X-Mini Max II Stereo Speakers - In September 2009, the creators of the x-mini capsule speaker announced the launch of their latest innovation, the X-Mini Max II Stereo Speakers.  We recently tested the X-Mini II Capsule Speaker and we gave it an overall rating of 4 out of 5, so how do these compare?

The X-Mini Max II Stereo Speakers are a great solution for delivering stereo sound from portable gadgets like; portable DVD players, portable game consoles, iPods and mp3 players and laptops.  Their cool funky egg shape design looks great and feels comfortable in the hand.  The speakers are also equipped with magnetic bases to make light work of separating and re-joining the units without the need for additional clips/straps.

The internal battery will provide up to 12 hours of playing time when fully charged (via the USB lead supplied) and each speaker unit comes with its own power switch and LED light for full independent control.

Features:

• Large 40mm driver
• 2.5W output
• Playback time 12 hours (recharge via USB)
• ‘Buddy Jack’ design to connect a row of x-mini speakers

The sound quality from these speakers have been given an extra boost with their 40mm driver and expanded BXS^TM (Base Extensions System) that packs a punch, delivering excellent sound quality for a set of micro Stereo Speakers.   We were very impressed with the results from all of our sound tests including, iPod, PSP, laptop and PC (music, video and gaming).  These speakers performed much better at high volume than the x-mini capsule speakers although we wouldn’t recommend it using either at this level.

Improvements:

We want to see more gadgets that offer a complete wireless solution and these speakers come close to that when used after charging.  Come on X-Mini, what else have you got up your sleeve?

Overall:

X-Mini has got a lot right with these Stereo speakers and they have managed to couple great sound with cool design very well.  The X-Mini Max II stereo speakers are the best in their class at the moment and are a must have for any gadget lover as well as any professionals that give presentations via their laptop.
