X-Mini Speaker

The X-Mini brand has been making a scene with DJ's and celebritys alike, but is it simply a hyped up product or truely an amazing little speaker with mind blowing sound. Well, it is truely an amazing speaker with mind blowing sound! I was very happily surprised with the quality of this little product. I compared them to my Phillips Apple Docking Station and Stereo system and it is right up there with it! One of these little speakers will rang you anywhere from $20-$30, but don't let the price detur you from buying one of these amazing quality speakers!

Why I Bought a 15" MacBook Pro

Many of you may have read the tweets but may not know the whole story. Last week, my 13" Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro suffered water damage. I was forced to replace it with a 15" Quad Core i7 MacBook Pro. Though the purchase was sudden, I am loving this machine. Here is the full explanation and my first impressions after a week with this computer.



Some of the main differences I've noticed is that the 15" screen can't be beat. Regardless of the larger screen size, this machine is still super portable and thinner than I was expecting. The speakers are also independent of the keyboard on the higher end 15" and 17" models so the sound quality is much better! I'm really appreciating the HD Facetime cam as well. Expect many more MacBook Pro videos in the near future.

Thanks for your continued support and I hope you are as excited as I am for my new project coming up!

Bose SoundLink® - My Review

The Bose SoundLink® is a portable Bluetooth speaker for your iDevice, Android device, Windows 7 device, and even your laptop/desktop computer, basically anything with bluetooth will work with it. (Apart from Bluetooth headsets). In this article, I am going to have my say on this beast of a speaker!

Having owned this device, I can say that I am more than pleased with the Bose SoundLink®. The quality of the auido is outstanding, the bass is superb and doesn't distort at full volume.

The Bose SoundLink® takes only 3-5 hours to complete a full charge, and can last up to 6 to 8 hours until the battery dies.

If you do not have a Bluetooth-enabled device, you can connect any other device to the Bose SoundLink® with the AUX cable that comes provided in the box, Which is very handy!

The built-in magnetic cover which protects the grill of the speaker quickly and conveniently folds out into a stand as the Bose SoundLink® Will not support itself with out it. (Which is a slight downfall).

On the top of the Bose SoundLink®, you find the Following:

 

  • Power on/off 
  • AUX 
  • Bluetooth 
  • Mute 
  • Volume Down
  • Volume Up

 

This speaker is available in 2 variaties. You can purchase the Bose SoundLink® in a Matt Finish with a Dark Grey Nylon Cover, which retails for £259/$299. You also have the choice of purchasing the slightly more up-market Bose SoundLink® LX, which comes in a Chrome finish with a Genuine Dark Brown Leather Cover, which retails for £299/$350.

 There are some downfall's with the spaker though. From my experience, it doesn't always seem to want to connect to my Apple iPhone 4. so I turned Bluetooth off and on again on my phone, clicked "Bose SoundLink" from the device list and it successfully connected to the speaker. I then went to play some music and the song was playing from my phone speaker and not the Bose SoundLink®!! So, I handed the Bose SoundLink® back to my local electronic's dealer and I am recieving a new one later this week. The second downfall is to do with the magnetic cover/stand, since the Bose SoundLink® doesn't support itself with out a stand, I need to lay my speaker down on it's back when not in use, this is not convenient as it might collect dust and other particals on the back of the speaker over a period of time.

 

So, overall I give the Bose SoundLink® Portable Bluetooth Speaker a Whopping 9 out of 10!

MINT SPEAKERS

 

Mint Speakers are an ipod music banging sound system, which takes up less space on your desk, and are very inexpensive. I was given this tiny box shaped speaker for christmas and was surprised to find out that it came with a wireless adapter that you could connect to a desktop or laptop( no need for drivers or what not) just plug and play. Cool, but i had these logitech speakers just hanging around on my desk{ great sound, but I was getting sick of the wires hanging from the top} I took down the big logitech speakers and hooked up the mint wireless speakers and the sound was pretty good.  Good to past on for a ipod speaker system and included a line in outlet to the T.V { which sounds great if your watching a movie and your tv is next to your speaker} Overall mint speakers are really cool and a great buy to getting a clean desk.
