Great price for an X-Mi 2nd Generation speaker - I remember paying £20 or so for mine! The sound quality is excellent!
- Compact size
- High quality sound, with clear bass resonance
- 11 hours of continuous playback from one charge - need to be recharged thereafter
- Included USB charging cable, felt bag
- Integrated 3.5mm audio lead
Only the white speaker is this price.
Free delivery if you spend £20 or over, otherwise P&P is £3.99

Took mine on holiday along with my Sansa Clip MP3 player: sitting on balcony, a sherbet (ahem), and the wee X-mini providing the soundtrack - what's not to like?
Portable fun.

I have never seem one used in a functional way. See these all the time at market stalls but are folks using them at home or out and about? Can't see I would as the sound is impressive for a minute for such a small speaker but in reality is totally xxxx.. Just a question.

I used to have a pair of xmini 2 speakers. They came as 2 together. One lead split into to connectors so you had stereo sound.
If I bought 2 individual speakers here, how would you daisy chain them?
Thanks.

Pretty sure there's a 3.5mm hole on mine that you stick the next one in - this won't be stereo just 2 speakers.

I use mine on holidays to boost the TV sound and music for the beach/pool. brilliant price.

I have one that I got a couple of years ago. Were one of the better buys for size/price at the time. For this price its a no brainer, so hot from me. But there are some really nice generic Chinese Bluetooth speakers around at £15 ish.
If your looking for something with more oomph and have a little more in the budget I think there are better options.

Great little speaker. Very portable and loud for its size + some bass!

It's not a fake, it's fulfilled by Amazon.

These look like the freebie Star Wars one I got from O2 Priority last year. It was terrible quality.

I had 2 of the black ones and the plastic casing went sticky :-/ , tried cleaning them with all kinds of stuff but they stayed very tacky, also the sound was only a little better than my iphone speaker, so i binned them.

Had one of these for 3 years+. Great little speaker. Upgraded recently to the JBL Flip 2 but this served me well. A no-brainer at this price.

That doesn't prevent it from being fake - just makes it easier to return/get money back.
this is a scorching hot deal imho - I have this model in black and a similar pair in grey and the sound quality and battery life is amazing - lasts much longer than rated in my experience.

I have one of these, possibly even the generation before.
I take it on holiday all the time, and it's good for camping breaks or afternoons away in parks etc...
At £5.00, it is worth it. I paid about 3 times as much for mine IIRC.
Decent bass, and good clarity.
Much better options out there obviously, but only if you want to part with more cash.

I still have one and served me well but now you can get far better sounding bluetooth speakers for around £15. But at this price still a decent buy.

What would you recommend in that price bracket as you mentioned?
I was going to buy two of these to replace my old and battered ones but may as well look at alternative better ones.

If these are genuine article then they're REALLY good for the size, and extra points for the price. There have been a lot of fakes in this style, but the X-II Mini is the "original". It's a fantastic little package, and despite the fairly grotesque colour scheme you're not going to spend a better five quid (in one go) on any sound accessory.
Caveats: no BT; built-in wire is short and almost useless, but you can get a secondary, longer 3.5mm cable for a quid from (m)any pound shops; no HMDI CEC :wink: ; might get background noise if powered on the same supply and using a Chromecast Audio or similar (I had to break mine out onto the dedicated CCA supply to get rid of b/g noise) - that's a very unlikely use case though.
Overall, for a holiday lightweight, portable, loud, bassy, durable solution, you can't really get better for this price.
Tips: if you can find a cardboard box, cut a whole in it and put the unit inside for extra amplification and bass. Similarly, a traffic cone, cupboard drawer, lightweight table/surface will do likewise (might need to tape it down).

I bought this for my son. It's very cheap & the sound quality is very poor!!
Waste of money

At this price you were hardly going to receive the quality of a £200 sound system were you. For a fiver, they are good enough.
