Jon,

These are the OLD X-Mini speakers. If you notice, the review is over three years old. That IS what we tested and we have a review of the NEW X-Mini coming out as well. They fixed a lot of the problems that we talked about in the old version, so keep watching The Gadgets Page for the new review.

the image in this review is NOT the x-mini! If this is what you tested, it is NOT the x-mini

I've got two of these and they worked wonderfully with my laptops...until I hooked it up to my new Dell Mini. I was astonished to discover that for some reason it won't work with the mini and even sends me a message that the device is not compatible with it.

So, now I'm looking for a tiny speaker that will work with the mini.

I've just purchased an x mini speaker after seeing it reviewed on the BBC show 'Something For The Weekend' and reading reviews about it.

I was a little sceptical as it's so small but I wanted a small portable speaker for holidays.

This speaker is superb and considering it's size the sound quality is incredible. As a result many of my friends have now bought them and I cant recommend them enough if you want a portable pocket sized speaker.

Tom, Use mono cables to each unit. If you use a stereo 3.5mm it will cut off the left as the ring section is too small. Best way to tell is that there is only one ring on mono cables and two rings on stereo.

I tried the stereo splitter to two of these speakers. Only the right channel works in this setup, and I did test the splitter with other devices. It appears as though the wiring to the plug on this requires the right channel. The left channel only will not play through the speaker. If anyone has any thoughts other than pulling out the soldering iron, please post them.

This is a great little gadget! It’s definitely going anywhere my laptop is – it’s not just that sounds below 200Hz are audible now, it’s also the richness the sound gets. And that’s all coming from the middle part, the ’secret chamber’. I would be my no means surprised if this would become the new standard for speakers – the ’secret chamber’, being vacuum, could raise the dynamic capability of virtually all speakers. However, XMI (the company that designed&produced this jewel) has patented this technology – which almost seems to simple to be patentable, but there you have it – so I guess we’ll have to embrace them for the time being ;D I recommend this to everyone! Seriously!
