Mini Cell Phone/iPod Rechargeable Speaker with Collapsible Resonance Chamber

Whilst we’ve featured a fair few ultra compact portable speaker solutions here on TFTS, this mini speaker, designed specifically for use with cell phones, iPods and PMPs in general, certainly managed to get our attention on account of its expandable resonance chamber which, according to the linked product site, results in a ‘shockingly huge sound’.

Quite how ‘shockingly huge’ the sound emanating from this device actually is in practice is, of course, wholly open to question (and very much dependent on you definition of ‘shockingly huge’ - my wife’s definition of this term, for example, appears to be overly excessive) but we certainly like the idea of a collapsible resonance chamber facilitating a ‘larger’ sound from the device that, once collapsed, will certainly tuck away in something such as a backpack with considerable ease backpack – though, if only on account of its shape, perhaps not a pocket.

The speaker offers 2.4W output, which is not an especially poor show considering its size, and an purported endurance of up to 6 - 8 hours based on a full 4 hour charge and, thanks to the speaker coming with its own USB rechargeable battery and amplification it won’t serve to drain your digital player’s juice in use.

The Mini Cell Phone/iPod Rechargeable Speaker retails for around $31 / £15 / €20.

Update: It’s just come to our attention that this mini speaker is actually also available via Think Geek for $25.
