X-mini II speaker, impressive! - Galaxy S II Accessories

Hi,
Just to share, I've bought the X-mini II and it's the best accessorie I've bought for my SGS2.
Whenever I'm on the go, I bring it with me as it is so small, but once plugged to my SGS2, the sound it delivers is impressive for such a small device.
It works on rechargeable battery and it lasts very long, it's very convenient.
People are always impressed by that tiny speaker, it's really great to listen to music with friends or without headphones.
Here a review:
http://www.gizmo-central.com/audio-gizmos/review-of-x-mini-ii-and-x-mini-max-ii/

I picked up one of these from Asda in the UK - cost me £12 and it's fantastic,

Is it a stereo or mono speaker?

I have one of these and think it's awesome
Overall it's about twice the size of the x-mini and it isn't rechargeable but will last a long time on batteries.
It is able to out a lot more sound

i have the Altec one, but prefer the asda one, as it's rechargable, louder and slightly more bass. The Altec one is good though.

Hmm seems nice. Similar pricing to the x mini?

The advantage of the x-mini is it's really small as it collapses and can fit in a jacket pocket.

Armband

Does anyone make an armband for the thunderbolt so I can wear the bolt when I exercise? I've looked around a bit, but not found anything that will fit my giant phone with extended battery and seidio case.
not just that, but i want a freakin' wrist band for the Thunderbolt.
just like how i wanted a wrist band for the ipad.
would that not be awesome !?!?!....
Yeah. I bought mine on Amazon. It wasn't that much and it works. Definitely not the greatest quality out there but it does the job.

I wish but I assume HTC has given up on the Thunderbolt products.
I'm thinking about getting one too. I don't even use my ipod anymore since I got my Thunderbolt. I would like to have it right there to listen to music while I'm running. I need to get back into shape!
From the Sensation boards:

Arkon's XL-Armband fits the Sensation. I have one with the Incipio NGP case and it fits with the case on.
We designed the armband to fit most pones with screen sizes from 3.7" - 4.3". I've tested it with the Sensation as seen above, Thunderbolt (with TPU case), Droid 3, Droid X 2 and a couple others and they fit.

$17.95
*Sorry for the annoying servo noise, I had to use a DSLR to record the video since I was using my live Sensation as a model and the auto focus was on :\

The armband case that you seek is this one!
I bought the TuneBelt from Amazon for like $20 before the holidays. It keeps my phone safe, sweat free, and you can even buy a little extender belt if you plan on running with heavier clothes on like a sweatshirt. Great buy!

Nice!! I have been looking for one for the gym.

I considered this one but think the Kidigi:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kidigi-Ca...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item2c65f14b42
Ordered one the other day, should arrive on the same day my HOX goes back for repair. Decided on this as it claimed to be vibration free but we will see when I get my HOX back :fingers-crossed:
Have to agree - just received mine from Expansys (sent from France strangely enough).
Sturdy, reasonably vibration free, phones fits with or without case (removable insert).
That plus a usb charging port and HTC Sense car app launching automatically = win.
I'm using this also. Working as a charm, no problems.
When JB will come out to HOX, maybe we will have audio out on usb, so it will be just one fast move - phone in dock and we have charging, audio on speakers, and phone safetly placed on dashboard...
It's nice, kind of expensive though...doesn't come with the charger either.

does car dock come on with any usb cable or does it have to be certain type ?
I ordered the original one being sold by HTC through att. Former doesn't get better and it's the most premium looking one I've seen.

I got this case, but haven't used it yet. What is preventing me from using it is the fact that despite being advertised as being able to fit most cases, it doesn't fit my Ballistic case.
How is it better than anything from Brodit;

Nice vid mate. What case is that BTW ?
That dock is smooth looking. Might have to pick one of those up. Good video, thanks.
Here is the case I have: http://www.amazon.com/Kickstand-Hyb...86218&sr=8-46&keywords=samsung+galaxy+s3+case
I would not recommend it unless you are looking for the cheapest thing out there with the highest impact resistance. It is very difficult to remove, the outer gel doesnt line up exactly with the inner hard case. It reminded me of the otterbox cases for the 3gs Iphone, but it is made very cheaply. You can even find some for a penny plus shipping on amazon. People are trying to get rid of them. Not bad price if you are willing to pay a penny plus shipping

MEELECTRONICS AirFi Matrix Bluetooth Headphones

Hey XDA
Just throwing out a review for those of you interested in some quality Bluetooth headphones.
I have had these guys for a week and I've tried them on all sorts of music since I am part of a multi media team for a church. We edit and sample all genres of music so I decided to try these out for our work.
Build quality
They seem to be made with very good materials. I've had several other over the ear headphones that feel very flimsy and cheap; this is not the case with these. The adjustable parts on the headphones are very firm and not loose at all maybe even a bit too firm which I appreciate. The carbon fiber part is a cushion and not plastic which was surprising but not bad by any means.
Fit
The fit on these are excellent. They are snug and feel great. After a while you forget you're wearing them which is a plus since I would wear them for hours at a time. The cushions are very soft and there's just something about them that feels awesome.
Functionality
The Bluetooth part works excellent. Pairing took five seconds. They have never dropped Bluetooth connection on my S3, my MacBook Pro, my wife's iPhone, and a few other phones we tested. Pausing the music and answering calls also worked perfect. Battery lasts quite a while and I love that I can use the aux cable for those devices with no Bluetooth.
Sound
Music on these headphones sounds amazing. I am not a fan of many headphones out there with over killed bass but I do like a decent thump - these babies delivered perfectly! Highs were very clear and crisp, mids were present but didn't give them a muddy sound. Call quality was great as well. The person OK the other end heard me perfectly. Volume on the headphones for call was good. I could hear clearly almost as good as the earpiece on my phone.
Overall I really likes these headphones. They have been great for me with everything I do. I like the case they come in and the face that they are quite portable with their rotatable earpiece. I loved that they charge with USB so that makes it easy wherever I'm at.

Update?
cor4twenty,
It's been a while since you reviewed these BT headphones. Curious how they've held up, if they're still working for you or if you've moved on to something else?
Let me know,

Review: Pacuwi Bluetooth Earphones w/ pictures

This is a review of a pair of bluetooth earphones from Pacuwi - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018FN925M (Coupon: PAZPHSYF)
In the past I've reviewed many different bluetooth earphones in many different price ranges, such as the Axigio Sprint to MPow Swift. Recently a company named Pacuwi reached out to me and asked if I wanted to have a look at one of their affordable offerings in the bluetooth earphone market. Let's have a look at the actual product, shall we?
So first of all, when it comes to the actual packaging of the product I'm rather pleased to say the least, as the packaging itself offer a nice unboxing experience and it's made out of a kind cardboard that looks really nice. One of thing the packaging lacks is information about the product, but other than that it's very nice. Inside of the packaging there's a manual, a USB-cable, carrying bag for the earphones and the earphones themselves.
The earphones themselves are made out of kind of glossy plastic and can be ordered in multiple different colours, but it doesn't look or feel very premium. At the side of one of the earphones there's a MicroUSB cable, and also there's a multifunction button and volume buttons on them. The earphones connect to eachother with a cable that you put behind your neck, which works really nicely I must say. So when it comes to the audio quality, they sound better than I expected when I first removed them from the packaging. They have nice audio quality in general, but the bass is a bit too strong for my taste and there's a bit of a lack of details - which is very common on sub <$30 earphones and I can't really complain. The audio is free from noise that are often seen in cheaper earphones, and these really exceeded my expectations.
So conclusion; these earphones are very good if you're on a budget and I really like them due to the low price, and the fact that they bring lots of features to the table. They're also one of the cheapest pair of bluetooth earphones on the market, which makes these an ideal choice if you're on a budget.
Note that the item was provided to me in exchange of my review, but that doesn't affect my review whatsoever.
