After their very impressive X-mini Capsule Speakers, XM-I have released the successor to the X-minis. The X-mini Max!

The Max is a stereo speaker now unlike the X-minis which were just mono. It also comes with retractable cables now which are real useful I feel. Just try not to pull too hard on them as they are not too sturdy. You also get a nice little pouch to keep everything in. Says on the box it comes in 3 colours Red, Black and White. Although I’ve yet to see the White version.

They are perfect for laptops, mobiles, smartphones, pdas, iPods, PMPs. Especially good when you’ve got a presentation to make and the lousy projector doesn’t do sound. They go well with the Asus Eee PCs or even the Eee Box since they’ve got a compact theme going on there. Sound quality is pretty amazing considering it’s size. They get the thumbs up from me for best portable speaker! And did I mention they are a reddot design award winner 2008.
