Here's how to twist that to your advantage: if you see something you like, and the price is really low, buy three.
Get each customer to buy as much as possible? Damn Meh, you've really cracked the code on this capitalism thing! Maximize profits with this 1 weird trick!
I had one repaired under the program (beware that the mail-in center and many of the Apple Stores do not do the repair so send it to the same Texas center - could possibly destroy your MBP so take lots of photos before having your machine sent in for repairs if you do ever have your machine sent in for repairs (just saying)) and another newest 2015 not under the program show the same issues also repaired...

How can you spec a 59" cable between speakers when there is no cable included other than the short 1/8" mini audio cable? Stereo separation of a hand width?
@narfcake Amazon description is usb is for charging only from laptop,etc. and not provided. So is the cord provided a male-male mini usb, carrying Left Right channels allowing 59" of separation? And we provide a mini usb charge cable?
Hmmm, let me think this one through... I already own too many speakers. Check! I don't use my speakers very often. Check! I'm a VMP member. Check! Only $4 shipped. Check! reputable-sexy-soup
So effing stoked. Today's deal is a great one! Tomorrow I will have my SUPER AMAZING headphones, and then I will get a silly quad copter toy, and then, to go with the headphones, these deliciously cute and cheap speakers! All my portable audio needs shall be met!
I needed some small speakers for my small bag and Chromebook to get just a little better sound while I cook and watch Netflix. I think they will be perfect if they aren't too large.
Eh what the hell. Maybe I'll make a blue/purple and purple/blue set out of my blue set and purple set. altruistic-musical-locket yields rather dull results.
But wait - the antithesis to the buy more save on shipping pitch: I'm vmp'ing, so I save $5 if I buy one, but only save $1.67 each if I buy three. If I was really wanted to feel like I maximized my VMP, I'd order three, one at a time, and have them sent to different addresses!
Fortunately, I only needed red to complete my collection.
According to reviews on Amazon, you can't charge and play at the same time. All I need is a device I can't use when I need it. I can't imagine it will make my list of things I need to keep charged.
@gak0090 I don't think that reviewer was right. I have a pair plugged in to a PC, both the USB and the audio jack, and it works fine. I'm not sure if it's charging but it doesn't really matter because it's plugged into the USB.
@gak0090 That's not true at all. You CAN charge and play at the same time. When you plug in the USB connector the LEDs will turn RED to indicate charging even when they are in use
@gak0090 I’m charging and playing simultaneously right now. So this still works far in the future of August 2016.
As for anyone complaining about sound quality - I bought the JBL Pebbles and the Cyber Acoustics 2.1 Bluetooths (Blueteeth?), both much larger than the X-minis (how could they not be), and both went back in their boxes and are now patiently awaiting a garage sale. These X-Minis are the first speakers I’ve purchased from Meh that do not make me want to immediately put my headphones back on. When they come up for sale again, I’m going to buy 2 more pairs so I’m prepared if my current ones break.
Not that anyone cares now. But some thorough researcher/mehophile will find this post when the X-Minis go on sale again.
I bought one of these last time they were up and they are pretty great for the price. Don't have a lot of bass or anything but its a cool little set of speakers you can take anywhere, have decent sound, and not worry about them getting broken. Also they hold a charge for a really long time.
Am I the only one who knows the difference between a semi-auto and a machine gun?
Bushmaster XM15 is a semi-auto, goes bang once per trigger pull. Machine gun is full-auto, keeps going bang until the trigger is released or magazine (not clip) runs out of rounds.
I know this is nit-picking, but this is a pet peeve of mine.
@jmbunkin You'd be surprised how often semi-auto rifles are called "machine guns". Seeing as how much of the media and government seem bent on limiting or eliminating our 2nd Amendment rights, it's gets frustrating. Words have power, use 'em correctly whenever possible. ;-)
I literally have an ARMY of these little guys.. totally awesome when you string them together...I have 3 pairs being used on my main PC, one for my phone, one pair for my tablet, a pair for my wife's tablet. They seem to be like rabbits... multiplying like MAD
Got my three sets, the blue set had one speaker battery that won't hold a charge, quits after a few minutes. Two three hour charges didn't help. Mfg says 2.5 hour charge. Me thinks by the printing on the box these are over three years old, about the life of rechargeable batteries. Too bad, they are not loud with an iPhone, but sound great.
Arrived here today, which was pretty damn fast for orders from Meh. Bought these for giggles. I'm curiously not dissatisfied. Don't know if I'd buy more, but for what they are, they're actually decent.
Hey, guys, I got mine in the mail today, but the instructions are nothing but pictures. I can't understand them. Could someone please write out how I operate these things? Including how I store them and all that stuff?
Great sound compared to my Laptop onboard speakers. I sometimes have to work offline and turn off my radios and it’s nice to not have to worry about my speakers. They look nice and I’ve only recently noticed small wear tears on the attached cable. The charge cable gives me plenty of extra wire if I need it but it did wear out the mini usb port on one of my speakers. It is has been dead for 2 months now. The other is fine.

Moar!
I have WAY too many of these.
@mehhead me too! But But But! VMP $4 shipped!
Not going to lie, I bought 3 more just so that I can have a longer chain of speakers.
Speak up --- meh thinks it meh speakers for sell tonight!
Meh. $4 is very cheap, especially with the VMP I got when grabbing the fuko, but I don't need these speakers.
I also don't need the box of horrible junk that is surely coming my way, but I bought it anyway...
@lljk I will happily take your box of junk. My connection was too slow to get my own on April 1. Just sayin.
Max Mini-Meh on this deal.
Purple!
(Thanks for giving us an option for colors this time.)
@narfcake Did You mean
@barney Purple! ?
@sligett The power of purple was sufficient in getting her attention. :)
How well will these pair with yesterday's $300 receiver?
@jmoor783 They will make that receiver sound like a $29 model I'm sure!
@mydrivec That's the proleem, no good speakers for sale :(
Get each customer to buy as much as possible? Damn Meh, you've really cracked the code on this capitalism thing! Maximize profits with this 1 weird trick!
wealthy-mediocre-bait
I couldn't have said it better myself... Except for the wealthy part.
@eVil the wealthy part is what Meh is for selling it.
In for 3 crabby incorrect leech
Wow, Gun Metal didn't last long!
@Stallion Yeah, and that color was the one I wanted. I went with my second choice of purple, though.
@Stallion - indeed! Every time i get in on these- gunmetal was out. These make great stocking stuffers though so I'm not complaining too much.
Red, green, blue, purple, orange... a veritable rainbow of meh. Blech.
@UncleEdZed Now you know why they're $4. But they sound the same as black or silver.
modest-fearless-manatee
PLEASE save a pair of the PURPLE ones and ship them to @Barney!
@Stallion Thanks for the thought! I might have a pair of them from a previous sale. I think.
i bought 3 because meh. i already have 1 so yeah. i dunno.
This shit again
Oh sure. In for 3. Purple all the way!
@AnnaB I love purple.
Wondered when you guys were going to sell some speakers.
I have these, they're nice.
Do not want.
But, bought one anyway at $4 just to make them send it to me and increase my carbon footprint (used the wife's VMP account).
@Pavlov click meh and somehow still bought 2.
If i plug them to my rear will the farts sound louder?
@whalewatcher L-L-Let's find out!
@whalewatcher I think you're looking for a set of these...
Add three more sets to my collection! Good sounding little speakers so I wonder what 12 of them will sound like.....we shall see we shall see
Is anyone else seeing this even after refreshing?
@Mehrocco_Mole If you mean, is that picture you posted above a mess? Yes. I'm seeing a mess. Even after refreshing. But the front page looks great.
@Mehrocco_Mole I think you broke the internet
@cpierce No I didn't!
@RedOak Absolutely.
@Mehrocco_Mole I don't have that on my computer. Maybe you ate some Colorado brownies or something.
@Mehrocco_Mole Computers do that right before they explode... stand back.
@Mehrocco_Mole You have been Zuckerberged.
@awk It's a Mac. Macs don't explode. They just sort of puff out of existence just after wiping out your savings account.
@Mehrocco_Mole If that is a MacBook Pro then you should look into the video replacement program.

I think this is what I meant when I said I wanted things that I didn't know I wanted for a low price. frozen tolerable cockroaches.
Tempting, but ... are they any good?
@JT954 These are quite good for their size, made even better at this price.
@JT954 they are great for the price, but they don't sound that great. what I like about them is if they get destroyed I won't feel bad.
It is perhaps not amazing how solid is the will power when the VMP has been turned off for a couple months.
Whoever paid the $54.99 list price for these should have their right to spend money revoked.
@cpierce I'm guessing nobody in the history of mankind ever paid $54.99 for them.
It just makes the "discounted" price look better.
@mamawoot "New from McDonald's, the Super Big Mac! List price $54.99, yours for only $4!"
@cpierce Originally, it was $4.99, until somebody mistook the $ for a 5. Then it became 54.99.
Bad for them, good for meh.
How can you spec a 59" cable between speakers when there is no cable included other than the short 1/8" mini audio cable? Stereo separation of a hand width?
@craigcush There's a USB/audio cord included too.
@narfcake Amazon description is usb is for charging only from laptop,etc. and not provided. So is the cord provided a male-male mini usb, carrying Left Right channels allowing 59" of separation? And we provide a mini usb charge cable?
@craigcush That description is wrong. This came with my last set:
(The audio from the 3.5mm plug is fed through the micro USB port. Left and right are labeled.)
@narfcake ahh! Thanks so much!
Hmmm, let me think this one through...
I already own too many speakers. Check!
I don't use my speakers very often. Check!
I'm a VMP member. Check!
Only $4 shipped. Check!
reputable-sexy-soup
Wait. What day is it?
I lose track, so meh comes in handy, 2 fer tues, speaker friday, etc.
plain-strange-coffee picture did not disappoint
@thirdnut Now I am hoping to see Squirrel Coffee Cups on Meh one day!
Ok, I'm convinced and bought 2 in:
Blue - To match the Targus Messenger bag that I ordered from Meh (which arrived yesterday) and portable charger (my first Meh purchase in 2014).
Purple - Which matches my tablet case and my portable charger (also from Meh).

Perfect for calling owls!

Just like my money thanks to Meh...tiny...deadly...and running away fast. Well meh!
So, when are you guys going to profer Victrolas'?
So effing stoked. Today's deal is a great one! Tomorrow I will have my SUPER AMAZING headphones, and then I will get a silly quad copter toy, and then, to go with the headphones, these deliciously cute and cheap speakers! All my portable audio needs shall be met!
I needed some small speakers for my small bag and Chromebook to get just a little better sound while I cook and watch Netflix. I think they will be perfect if they aren't too large.
100 mehs!!!!! big day
My VMP lasts another week. My profile complains i don't buy enough. I don't need speakers. But $4? I feel so mediocre right now.
eloped-ignorant-mouse
Got 3 not sure why.
original-ready-tulip
Eh what the hell. Maybe I'll make a blue/purple and purple/blue set out of my blue set and purple set. altruistic-musical-locket yields rather dull results.
I don't get it.
How would I hook these speakers up to my electrical outlets and light bulbs?
@zachdecker Think of them as being like those Bluetooth speaker lights from a couple days ago, but with no light and no Bluetooth.
I renewed my VMP a few days ago, and now Im remembering why I cancelled it on the first place......
So sad:cry:
But wait - the antithesis to the buy more save on shipping pitch: I'm vmp'ing, so I save $5 if I buy one, but only save $1.67 each if I buy three. If I was really wanted to feel like I maximized my VMP, I'd order three, one at a time, and have them sent to different addresses!
Fortunately, I only needed red to complete my collection.
@pajamma Admitting you have a problem is the first step.
So... I is that two speakers or two pairs?
Oh... wait. Tuesday?
According to reviews on Amazon, you can't charge and play at the same time. All I need is a device I can't use when I need it. I can't imagine it will make my list of things I need to keep charged.
@gak0090 Buy 2 pair. Charge one, use the other. Buy 3, and you can be lazy too.
@chacham cha-ching
@snapster Is geocaching for profit called geo-cha-ching?
@snapster "cha-ching", he said in louder mono.
@gak0090 I don't think that reviewer was right. I have a pair plugged in to a PC, both the USB and the audio jack, and it works fine. I'm not sure if it's charging but it doesn't really matter because it's plugged into the USB.

@un4gvn1 You'll never run out of bullets if you get one of those machine gun clips and the shoulder thing that goes up!
@un4gvn1 This is my rifle, this is my gun....
@un4gvn1 I hear if you file down the firing pin on an XM15 by 1/8", it shoots laser beams.
@un4gvn1 Unique pet peeve! Does the subject come up frequently ?
@jmbunkin You'd be surprised how often semi-auto rifles are called "machine guns". Seeing as how much of the media and government seem bent on limiting or eliminating our 2nd Amendment rights, it's gets frustrating. Words have power, use 'em correctly whenever possible. ;-)

purple/red/blue: now I'm prepared for future Mehrican exchange!
I literally have an ARMY of these little guys.. totally awesome when you string them together...I have 3 pairs being used on my main PC, one for my phone, one pair for my tablet, a pair for my wife's tablet. They seem to be like rabbits... multiplying like MAD
@wnovak Can you do surround sound with them? If so, I'll need to buy these again if they go back on sale.
@Dizavid Sure why not? You can plug a set into each audio output on your PC.
@wnovak I think mine only has two...
Got my three sets, the blue set had one speaker battery that won't hold a charge, quits after a few minutes. Two three hour charges didn't help. Mfg says 2.5 hour charge. Me thinks by the printing on the box these are over three years old, about the life of rechargeable batteries. Too bad, they are not loud with an iPhone, but sound great.

Hey, guys, I got mine in the mail today, but the instructions are nothing but pictures. I can't understand them. Could someone please write out how I operate these things? Including how I store them and all that stuff?
@Dizavid I figured it out EXCEPT how to fold them up into their small form.
@Dizavid push then twist.
@thismyusername I figured it out a few moments ago. I actually had to twist first to make it go.
Tested them out, and they sound quite nice!
Well, I already destroyed one of mine. Destructibility rating: 6/10. Would destroy again.
@brhfl - Would you recommend destruction to your friends?
I wasn't sure what I'd be getting and they're quite nice. They kind of fill the space between phone audio and a boombox...
Great sound compared to my Laptop onboard speakers. I sometimes have to work offline and turn off my radios and it’s nice to not have to worry about my speakers.

@one_two3456 I ran over my gold pair with the car when I was moving to a new home. That pair failed to keep working as well.
@one_two3456 @therealjrn Mine are orange! I don’t know if they work, they’ve been in a drawer for a couple of years.
@one_two3456 @sammydog01 @therealjrn
My kids each got a set for Christmas (2016!). Not used that often but still working just fine.
Lol. Wtf. These for sale on Sidedeal right now for $2 more than when I bought them here more than 4 yrs ago?
/giphy found in the basement?
