Amplify Sound with the X-mini Portable Speaker

Posted on May 3rd 2013

A portable speaker can be a great tool for the office. Maybe you need it to listen in on conference calls, play some tunes to get pumped up before a big sales pitch, listen to a webinar-style training session, or set the tone at your next presentation.

But how do you choose a great speaker at a low-end price point? Let us help! After extensive testing, CAFL recommends the X-mini II Capsule Speaker for full, clear audio in a tiny package at a great price.

There are plenty of ways to listen to music or blast sound, but this little speaker embodies convenience. It is hands-free, portable, and includes a built-in 3.5 mm audio cable.

Why we love it:

• Built-in 3.5 mm audio cable
• Fits into the palm of your hand
• Audio is crisp, full, and loud enough to fill a room
• Looks as sharp as it sounds
• Volume is easy to control
• Simple design – nearly all controls are done on your phone, laptop or MP3 player. The speaker features only an on/off switch and a volume dial
• Expands for deeper, bolder sound, then collapses and locks into place for easy portability
• Lightweight – only 83 grams
• Plays for 8 hours before needing to be charged
• Charging is easy with a mini USB cable
• To make the sound go farther, plug several into each other. They will all play the same audio in sync, enhancing sound.

At an excellent price point – $29.99 – this speaker is a can’t-miss accessory when you don’t have the luxury of a full speaker system.
