Sound Developed in Singapore the X-MiniTM Max II is expertly designed to be ultraportable and precisely engineered to deliver a superior sound. These stylish speakers which can also be used individually pop open to reveal the patented accordion-like Bass Xpansion SystemTM (BXSTM) which successfully mimics the resonance of a sub woofer. Its new 40 mm driver expanded BXSTM extended playback time and modular “Buddy-Jack” design enables it to effectively generate high-quality beautifully dynamic sound – be it the rich timbres of a soprano or the pulsating electronic beats of the latest dance track.

With a short 2 hour charge time and a whopping 12 hours playback on a single charge by now you’ll see that this really is the ultimate portable sound solution! “Buddy Jack?” What’s that?

Since I cannot post the link here, look up the X-Mini Max II review on CNET, a website that reviews all things involving technology. Compared to the iHome iHM77 review, the X-Mini Max II’s have been said to provide a much better sound quality and even some bass, although not very much. These speakers do deliver on sound quality and are amazing, very loud, and do offer some low end sounds. I HIGHLY recommend you get these speakers, all of the reviews point out the X-Mini Max II’s are much better than the iHome iHM77 since the iHome iHM77′s have NO bass whatsoever and sound somewhat tinny and even distorted at higher volumes. Now as for the iHome iHM79′s, the newest version of the iHome ultraportable speakers, I am not sure as to how the sound quality compares with the X-Mini Max II but from the reviews I have seen, the sound quality of the iHM79′s are better than the iHM77′s but there is still no bass and the size of the iHM79′s (which can be bought at the Apple website for $50) is increased dramatically (it also looks uglier). I HIGHLY recommend these speakers they are absolutely amazing. If you don’t believe me, look up the reviews for this product.

I saw the C-Net review, and yup, these live up to it. I use these with my little tiny re-furbed 8gb fuze. The sound is broad, deep and very full. Lots of bass, treble and mid-tones. The sound fills the room. If you have concrete walls it will rock your space from end to end. Panel covered walls, about 3/4 the distance. Outside, these things are just amazing. They look cool, charge up quickly and use a standard mini-usb. You don’t have to use both at once, but you will want to because they are ‘real’ stereo as opposed to two speakers that just repeat the same sound. And they are very, very clear and sweet.
They weigh almost nothing and tuck up into an egg shape. The magnets that hold them together are very strong. I haul these around in my purse all day and they do not come apart. There is no storage compartment for the little charging cord (which also connects the speakers). The cord is about the size of a standard set of ear buds and wraps up nicely around the speakers if you want to do that. Keep it where you keep your ear buds.
There just is nothing else like these. The iHomes are clones of this design, more expensive, and they don’t have the bass these do. These are made in Singapore by Xmi Pte Ltd and assembled in China. The x-mini is their original design. I have seen these cloned a lot, but nothing sounds like these.
So for a small amount of money you can get a seriously cool set of speakers to carry around in your bag! I got rid of a logitech blade to get these. These are not quite as loud as the blade but it’s OK.
Special bonus – these come with an additional cord you can use to attach other X-minis to! You can make your own x-mini parade of dancing little egg things and put them anywhere. I am not sure if you improve the sound by doing that, but you certainly spread it around more. Plus it looks goofy. You can attach another set of these or up to (I think) 16 of the single x2s. They are the kind of thing you want to collect – they work, are really small, and are rechargeable so I can see this catching on.
The egg shaped ones are getting harder to find. I probably paid less for these than you will here on Amazon. When I shopped for prices I just went with an Amazon prime shipper because it worked out to be less. I did notice other places had sold out or were waiting on replenishment. So if you see them, grab them. If you don’t like it you can probably resell these for what you paid for them or possibly a little more if they stay popular. I think they will.

Already had X-Mini II speakers and read reviews on the X-Mini MAX II that spoke of an in-line volume control in the USB cable. Unfortunately these speakers do not have an on-board volume control like the X-Mini II nor does the cable include the USB cable with the volume control. As I have these speakers connected to a source without a volume control there is no control over the volume.
I love the speakers but I am very disappointed that this version does not include the USB cable with the volume control.
Just be forewarned, there are evidently at least 2 versions of the X-Mini Max II; one with a volume control in the cable and one without. This is the version without.

Bought these since I had the X-Mini, which is still a great little speaker
but these dont’ have the same sound quality as their little red headed step-brother

Packaged well, but ended up selling them quickly,

The first pair I got of these, one of the speakers had strong constant feedback and the light was purple (blue and red at the same time; it should be either blue or red. It never charged, or worked well. So I ordered a second pair and listened to the one working speaker waiting for the second pair. When the new pair arrived I packed up the old one and popped open the new only to find that it had a defective cable, so I unpacked the first set, swiped the cable and sent back the bad speakers and the bad cable. Now that these two sets make one good set, well, I’m pretty happy.
I wanted to test the base so I dug through my music to find some hip hop (more difficult than you might imagine) and checked it out. Pretty good. It’s not exactly true sounding bass, but it is good and for tiny speakers, they give a good thump. Next on to Ella. Her voice rings through clear and the instruments are equally as clear and pretty crisp. Then I popped on Johnny Cash, Tennessee Flat Top Box. This song is split over the stereo channels: guitar on the right channel and rhythm on the left. I loved it! It sounded great! You can really pick up on the directionality designed into these. Pause. (Okay, I need to put this in perspective: I’ve been listening through my macbook pro speakers for two months.) Last I tried some classic rock and although not spectacular sounding, they hold up pretty good.
In general, i feel the sound is a little twangy with lots of treble, but what do you expect with itsy bitsy speakers. You can certainly pick up the rhythm section in songs well.
I purchased these for my computer, not to carry around. Honestly they don’t seem super durable. I would expect them to break within the year. Hopefully sitting on my desk most of the time, they will last a bit longer.
Sound Four stars, Quality two stars
