Cute but not great.

I have tried quite a few of these small speakers. This one was more expensive than my favorite cheap (less than $25) speaker and it did not have very good sound. My favorite speaker of the accordion and small type is the iHome speaker. That one has fancy lights you can choose to turn off and a more full, deeper and natural sound than the X-Mini.

This X-Mini speaker is not all that much better than using the iPhone or iPad speakers alone. It is light and easy to use and holds a charge well. And It is very useful when plugged in to portable CD players and iPod and other music players that don't have self contained speakers. And it fits easily in your pocket or purse. But it's not great on sound.

But I would easily buy an iHome accordion speaker for udder $20 again, but never again this X-Mini.

If you want an extremely good portable speaker, that also has Bluetooth get the Monster ClarityHD speaker. It costs about $60-70 and is much better than the Jawbone big box and many other speakers at 5 times the price. I love my Monster and now use that (as it's still quite small) for all my travels.

It's not the money or advertising that counts...it's the sound.

No Audio, Waiting for Replacement

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2015

The first one I received is not working. Tried it with an iPad and two phones - there is no sound even after fully charging. Just to test to see if it is getting a signal, plugged a regular headset into the buddy jack (used to link multiple speakers for a more robust sound) and the sound was fine on the headset - so sound is getting to the unit, just not playing anything. If the second one works, I'll update my review. It is a great concept and looks like it is a simple solution to be sure that my late night pageouts are loud enough to wake me up, the concept has not lived up to the reality yet. Will keep you posted. UPDATE: The second one worked. The sound quality is better than my phone's speaker but not much louder and the cable are way to short. The audio jack is purposefully short and that's okay. The charging cable is far too short though (the overall length is okay, the split cable that plugs into the X-Mini is entirely too short to be useful).

About middle of the pack, it's good but not the best.

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2011

I purchased this and four other brands/models because I wanted to hear with my own ears which ones were the best in this micro portable speaker category.
The ones I tried were:
X-Mini Max II Capsule Speakers (White)
X-Mini II Capsule Speaker (Red)
Satechi SD Mini Portable Pocket Speaker
iHome iHM60LT Rechargeable Mini Speaker (Blue Translucent)
iTour-POP Ultra Portable Rechargeable Speaker
I did not include the Altec Lansing iM-237 Orbit Speaker since it is not rechargeable.

Sound quality, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best of the group, and 1 being the built-in speaker in an iPhone or iPod Touch:
iTour: 10/10
iHome: 8.5/10
Satechi: 7
X-Mini II: 7
X-Mini Max II: 4

The iTour-POP wins it, no contest really. Amazing full sound and low distortion from a speaker this size. It's a little bigger in diameter than the others, but not as tall. Stays put, even at high volume. The next three all sound pretty good, if you didn't hear them side by side with the others, you'd be pretty satisfied with purchasing any of them. These three all suffer from 'walking' across the table at high volume, the bass thumps just make them jump a little with every beat, with the iHome being the worst at that. Not a huge deal, but it could drag itself and your $150 Nano of the counter and onto the floor... The Satechi is the only one with the built-in SD slot, which is pretty cool.
Finally, the X-Mini Max II: what a disapointment, horrible sound quality compared to the rest, especially the lower frequencies. Very tinny and distorts more than the others. Cross this one off your list.

Really useful for people doing presentations on the road.

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2015

Color: RedProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

For many years, I did presentations on the road, and frequently had to show training videos from DVD or presentations with sound or video embedded from my laptop. Before I got my X-Mini speakers, I would have to arrange to have speakers available in the meeting room where I was presenting or drag some along, but as long as the room was no larger than the size of a good sized classroom, the X-Mini speakers (I daisy chain 2 together) would more than suffice for my audience to hear the sound clearly. They are small and light and easy to throw into my purse or computer bag. I bought these in 2009 directly from the manufacturer, and they still work as well as when I got them. Since then, I have purchased more from Amazon to give as gifts, and they have been very popular. Even though mine are 5 years old, the headset jack is still compatible with my current smartphone and tablet as well as my new laptop.

X-mini stopped charging after a few months but I figured out a workaround

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2010

Color: RedProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I purchased four of the red and two of the black x-mini speakers this past May and July. The sound is great and they are very portable. I like to use the x-mini in my car with my iPod instead of using an FM transmitter connector. They worked fine for a few months and then three stopped playing after recharging.

Workaround: Based on another customer's comment on amazon.com about this problem, I plugged the x-mini into my PC's USB port and played my iPod through it. I discovered that after playing the iPod off the x-mini in this configuration for a few minutes, I was able to disconnect the x-mini (with the iPod still attached) from the PC and continue to play the iPod through the x-mini - the blue "on" light came on!

I looked through the material that came with the x-mini, and I don't see any troubleshooting or recovery info for this problem. Is there anything else I can do when the x-mini fails to play after charging that doesn't involve a PC or is this the best way to go?

You simply will not believe the sound coming out of this thing could be made by something so small! The bass is excellent, truly an innovative product!
