5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent little amplified speaker, June 8, 2010

I just returned from a high-adventure backpacking trip to the red sandstone-canyons in southern Utah. As a scout leader, I took one of these X-Mini speaker balls in my backpack to amplify a portable DVD player I had been carrying for a surprise presentation for the boys. On camping night two, while camped in a giant cavern along a stream between two ancient, red canyon walls, I pulled out the DVD player from my pack and plugged in this X-Mini so that our party of 18 could all hear. It worked beyond my wildest expectations. The DVD presentation depended 90% on the audio portion, and 10% on the video, because the video portion was only to see the demeanor of the speech maker. The X-Mini made sure we all heard the speech loudly and clearly around the campsite in the giant cavern. The boys were moved by the religious speech, the other leaders were impressed with the small but effective technology, and I became known as Inspector Gadget.

We got this speaker ball when my wife brought it home as a door prize from the Bonnie Hunt show. I thought it was another, passive and tinny little iPod speaker, but to my surprise it had its own built-in amp with rechargeable battery, great connectivity, and excellent sound for its size. It's about the size of a handball, and with a 1/4 twist, it expands accordion-like to allow for deeper tone. You won't get deep musical bass out of this, but it does do well with male voice, doesn't distort as other such items do, and sounds excellent. The family and I love it. Because my teenage daughter has adopted it (other than during my backpacking trip), I plan to get one and give others for Christmas.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lives up to 85% of the hype, December 30, 2010

This review is from: X-Mini II Capsule Speaker - Color White (Electronics)

Pros:
-Very portable
-Seems good quality, though I wonder if the "stretch" in the open position will wear out?
-Quite loud sound and fairly clear

Cons:
-The audio cable is extremely short
-The sound had a couple buzzes here and there; good sound, fairly clear, but not quite as amazing as the hype said

I am only operating on one of these. Perhaps with 2-4 speakers, the sound would improve.

Small and stylish. Bought it as a gift to my wife and she fell in love with it right away. "So cute!" was her first impression. The sound is not loud though, just enough for her to listen to music while working from home.
