I LOVE innovation. I LOVE gadgets. I LOVE music.
So imagine my sheer excitement when I discovered the shoX mini speaker. I’d heard about it and seen pictures and knew it would be useful for giving my presentations as I like to show a few videos.
R199 (ridiculously cheap) about 5cm x 5cm when fully extended to enhance the bass (ridiculously small) and the sound that pumps out of this little thing is unbelievable, (let me just say though that if you’re expecting sound that matches your Tivoli or similar then you’re missing the point.) Better yet is the fact that it charges using a USB port so there’s no need to fiddle around with batteries. What a win!
You can plug the speaker directly into your laptop, iPod, PSP or similar plus if you buy an extra small connection you can listen to tunes (or a conference call I guess) from your cellphone.
Awesome – I am seriously seriously impressed, I almost feel like I want a few scattered here and there so I’m always on!

I got my tiny shoX today as a free giveaway from Blackberry, and I wasn’t expecting much out of it, and the first time I connected it to my portable music player (a Creative Zen Vision:M), i did it only because i had nothing better to do at the time … but lo and behold! i was blown away, and so were – quite literally – the few people around me!
The sound on this tiny thing is almost unbelievably good. Crisp high range, and with small latched extension, it even creates a micro-sozed subwoofer cavity! Alright, you won’t be rocking your neighbor’s house with it, but thing about it this way … long drives, power failures, annoyance with headphones, on-the-move presentations … this thing is handy, cheap (even though mine was free), and provides incredibly great sound clarity for its size.
Do you think its realy worth it? Is it realy MUCH MUCH louder that a cell phone on laptop?
Hi JNS, Yes I do think it’s worth it – it’s louder and definitely less tinny than a cellphone of laptop, because of the bass system the sound is richer.
