Tinsy not Tinny – X-Mini

Whilst most mini speakers are no better than the speakers on the average mobile phone (and sound just as irritating) the X-mini from the XM-I boffins in Singapore are another matter.

Weighing in at a puny 52g it connects and charges via USB and gives you 8 hours of 2.4 wattage aural pleasure from a single charge.

Give the 52mm in diameter device a sideways twist and the X-mini pops upwards in an accordion-styleee.

Apparently it’s this extendable vacuum that acts like a loudspeaker, allowing the mini device to boom out in a surprisingly loud, full-bodied volume. This patented technology mimics the resonance of a sub-woofer.

This makes it a must have to keep in your luggage.
