X-Mini KAI Bluetooth Speaker
- Looks cheesy
- Stupid name
- Breaks the gimmick-resistance of even the most jaded techno-cynic
- Casts the net of Bluetooth wider, ever wider, over your life
What sucks about this is that it doesn't suck.
Sometimes, when you’re poised to gleefully shit all over a product, you just have to pull up your pants and admit you’ve been bested. The X-Mini KAI Bluetooth Portable Capsule Speaker had all the hallmarks of a gimmicky wad of techno-rubbish. The expandable body. The big claims for such a tiny speaker. The name “X-Mini KAI”. You see what we mean.
Then we listened to it. OK, it actually sounds great, with more bass than we thought possible - especially if you link several of them together, which is a thing you can do.
And THEN we noticed how you can actually use it to grant the power of Bluetooth to anything with an AUX input jack. Speakers, sound bars, receivers, car stereos, boom boxes, even those stupid Speaker Docks we sell: just plug the 3.5mm cable in, pair with your phone or any other Bluetooth audio, and you’re rockin’ out 'tooth-style quicker than you can say “dongle bonus”.
All this quality is killing our shriveled, bitter hearts. But it doesn’t stop there. Along come nifty little features like rechargeable battery power and a built-in mic, just to twist the knife.
Damn you, X-mini KAI, for making us love again.
