Not only does the new design deliver unsurpassed audio quality, it now performs even longer. Three times the capacity of its predecessor, the new X-mini II comes with a new built-in high capacity rechargeable battery capable of sustained output for 11 hours of nonstop audio pleasure. Modular ‘Muddy-Jack’ design: connect a row of X-Minis II for jaw dropping audio. This all new system enables you to connect one X-mini II to another, capable of forming an almost endless “daisy chain” of self-powered, bass-enhanced portable speaker system. With this new feature, you can now combine your X-mini II together with your friends to hold a spontaneous party anywhere you go. To eliminate cumbersome audio cables dangling from the speaker, XMI has designed a connecting audio cable that can be tucked neatly into the base for a cleaner and sleeker look. The X-mini II has a patented extendable vacuum that mimics the resonance of a sub-woofer (Bass Xpansion System or BXS) capable of producing explosive volume and bass over ten times its physical size.

Built in a cute little sphere shaped rubbery case, this is the main part of it’s innovative capsule design that makes the sound so really loud for it’s size when you open it.


When the battery goes away, you can charge it with the mini USB cable from your notebook, desktop pc or any other mini USB wall charger.

XMI X-mini II (open) compared to standart Toshiba AA battery, see how small is this speaker.


Here is the comparison with a computer mouse, if you close it the XMI X-mini II is thinner almost like the mouse.

When You turn it on, there is a blue LED battery indicator on the bottom (it glows in red if you charge it), and its own 3.5mm audio cable hidden underneath it. The X-Mini is also easy to control, the power button and volume control buttons easy to use yet does not disrupt the sleek look of the device itself.

And what are the options for stereo?

You need to connect two or more XMINI speakers to get the “Stereo”

No, you still only get mono sound when you connect multiple X-Mini 2 speakers. If you want stereo, may want to wait for the X-Mini Max 2 which will be release in October.

Or use a headphone splitter…and bingo…..stereo….

A headphone splitter will just split the stereo channel in two stereo channels. Each speaker will then get _the same_ stereo signal, which will result in mono sound from both speakers. So that doesn’t work either.
