SMALL WONDER 2

Found this out from a friend months ago. He was the one looking for it at the mall. I just accompanied him to find one.

He was at rehearsals (he's a back-up singer), and one of them back-up friends took out this speaker and plugged it in her iPod.

Yeah I know, you wouldn't expect much from something so small right?

Wrong.

Turns out, this small wonder packs huge volume. Quite surprisingly at that.

Of course the sound isn't that great, always expect a lot of highs from something this small. Very "tweeter-ish" at that. But if it's maximum volume and portability you're after, then the x-mini capsule speakers is for you.

It includes a retractable USB slash audio jack, so that you can charge it via PC, or via wall outlet (I use my iPod charger). Takes around 2 hours to charge, and it gives about 5 hours of juice. Not bad for something so small.

I got mine in white to match my silver iPod. It also comes in red and black. All in matte.

The X-mini capsule speakers retails at P1,200 at Mobile 1 at The Podium.

The copycat x-mini speakers, called the "hamburger" speakers (how original), retails around P700 to P150o at Power Mac Centers and at V-mall. It's even free when you buy an iPod at Power Mac Centers. They have it in yellow, white, red, green and black. All in high gloss. Kinda tacky. And volume isn't that wowing as the X-mini.
