I’ve barely had this speaker for a little while and I’m raving about it. It charged within 30 minutes (WOW!!), and its bass quality and response is AMAZING. It can handle full bass on around 98% volume from my iPod without giving me any scratchiness! Its general sound for music ranging from classical to rap simply blows me away. Literally.
Overall, this product is just what I needed-a small, portable speaker with decent sound-at an affordable price. The sound is more than decent, and it also works great with vocal podcasts. Clarity of sound is truly amazing.
Its only drawback is that it charges and plays music through the same cable, so you have a bulky USB dongol on one end, in addition to the standard 3.5mm jack at the same end of the cord. All audio is routed through the USB cable, but it won’t play audio from your USB-enabled computer.
I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a small, affordable speaker.

This is a great portable speaker.
1) The rechargeable battery means you don’t waste AA or AAA batteries
2) Its loud and clear for its small size.
3) Its well-built.
4) Its inexpensive.
NOTE: Its a bit confusing how this speaker hooks up to your computer or mp3 player. Here’s the gist of it:
* There’s a special cable that has a headphone plug and usb plug on one end and a mini-usb plug on the other end. You can use this cable to plug one end into anything that has a headphone jack and then plug the other end into the usb jack on the speaker. The usb plug on the same end as the headphone plug can just be left dangling, or you can plug it in somewhere to power the speaker.
* ALSO, there is a “line-out” jack on the speaker, which the user manual says you can use to “daisy-chain” two of these speakers together. If you have a 1/8″ (aka 3.5mm) “aux” cable (it has headphone plugs on both ends) you can just use that to play the audio from your laptop or mp3 player. To charge the speaker, though you have to use the special included cable, or any other mini-usb cable.
Make sure to look at the product pages for the other colors too. There are lots of reviews that pretty much say everything else that can be said about how great this speaker is:
Red (iHM60RC)
Purple (iHM60UC)
Blue (iHM60LC)
Gray (iHM60GC)

I’m usually pretty hesitant to order a product with only one review, but I figured for the price I would give it a try. I have to say, I’ve never really heard anything so small produce so much sound. It is one of those things that you wish you had for years. My wife even thought it was amazing, and she does not get very excited about electronics. The speakers fold up quite small and fit in a nice cloth bag. The cable is pretty long, but has a clip to keep it manageable. I’ve used it for hours now without recharging. The initial charge took about 30 minutes and I was listening to it while it charged. Overall, I’m impressed. The construction also appears pretty durable. I’m hoping it lasts for quite a while. Good purchase.

I had an X-mini II, but I gave it to my daughter so I wanted to buy a replacement, and I chose this one because of the reviews here, and it was cheaper, too.
It’s a little bigger than the X-mini, but not much bigger. What I don’t like is that it doesn’t have it’s own volume control, you have to rely on the player you are hooking up to. I prefer having it on the unit, or at least, that’s what I’m used to having.
Other than that, the cord is better… the X-mini’s cord was really thin and wimpy. Oh, and the latch to close the speaker… the X-mini latched better.
But my friends all admitted… the sound from this little speaker is impressive. And the price is right. They all want one now.
