Good things come in small packages

Soft and cuddly. The plush surface is soft, yet durable. The structure is solid without feeling hard.

Grandson loved it. He is three and  the size is very convenient to travel in car seat as well as being carried around the house.

Please note that it is small. 9 inches means 9 inches from the top of its head to the bottom of feet.

They're good, works well, but it's too small.

The sound this small unit produces is remarkably good, and it is more than satisfactory overall. It fits in the pocket and a practical set of earphones is provided, although I prefer an upscale set to improve sound heard.  Controls are very small, not unexpectedly so.  I'd certainly buy again, to use during workouts.

Small enough to be portable, yet still comes with great sound

We bought these for a family vacation, and they worked very well for a small package. I wouldn't say that they're good for someone looking for a bass pumping tailgate music package, but for our kids to watch a movie on the video iPod or listen to some bedtime tunes they were more than adequate. The internal cord storage is a nice feature, and they will work passably well without any batteries installed (just using the headphone driver power), but much better with the batteries. The cord storage cover also doubles as a nice little stand. All in all, better than a laptop's speakers and nicely portable. Highly recommended.

Small as can be and yet room for cables, etc.

The rating reflects how well it works. It was well worth the cost. It was surprising to see how small it is.

This thing packs a punch in a tiny tiny space.  Absolutely great.

Compact and functional but a little smaller and more delicate than I would have preferred.

I love this little sonic orb!  While I'm no audiophile, to my ears this speaker boasts some pretty good sound quality, period, without even taking its size into account.  When you also consider its compactness, this is a pretty impressive little piece of equipment.  The build quality seems pretty good, and it feels solid in the hand.  It's got a nice design, and has a pleasant rubbery matte surface texture.  I use it all the time; to listen to music while cooking, working, or even showering (as far as I know, it's not waterproof - and I wouldn't test it - but I can connect this speaker to my phone or computer, leave that in another room, and place the X-mini on a ledge or windowsill somewhere safe in the bathroom); I use it to give me and my friends something to plug iPods into when we're socializing somewhere without a sound system present; and I use it with my laptop to provide some extra "oomph" to movies, TV shows, or online video that otherwise would have been inaudible.

I bought the X-mini both for it's size and quality.  I needed something light and super-compact for traveling, but that wouldn't sacrifice too much in the sound department.  The X-mini fit the bill: so far, I've tossed it in a backpack and dragged it around Europe for 2 months and have taken it across the U.S. to the West Coast without incident.  It easily took the punishment of travel and meshed well with my other electronics, and didn't substantially add to their weight or clutter (something that is always in danger of happening with an assortment of gadgets while traveling).  It was always there to provide that spot of quality sound when I needed it.

There are two niggles with the X-mini - the price, which I think is largely deserved when considering the quality, is still a tad expensive.  I bought it for $60, but think maybe $45-$50 might be a bit fairer.
Also, while the initial bluetooth setup is a breeze, I experienced minor issues a few times when trying to reconnect on both my phone and my laptop, where I had to delete the X-mini from the listing of remembered devices and reintroduce it.  Also, sometime it seems to only partially connect (or only link up one channel) on bluetooth with my laptop, and I have to disconnect/reconnect until it works.  Minor issues, though, and to be honest I'm not sure if the fault lies in the speaker or my devices (probably the devices).

So all-in-all, if you want the smallest, best-sounding bluetooth-capable portable speaker, the X-mini is probably for you!

The TP-LINK BS1001 Bluetooth Wireless Portable Speaker is a well-built personal speaker. By that, I mean that a single person or small group can enjoy music streamed from a music source like an iPhone of tablet with some degree of musical fidelity. It paired with an iPhone easily and quickly, as well as a Sony Xperia tablet. Subsequent connections were trouble-free, as well.

The device is attractive and compact. It is small enough to travel with you wherever you go  and will fit in a larger pocket.  Like every other TP Link product Ive ever owned, it is extremely well-built.

However, as much I like the quality of this product, it does not come without a couple flaws. It is not a full range speaker. Given the size of the device, it does pretty well, but Ive heard other portable speakers that sounded better. The mid-range and highs are great, but the bass is just not there.  When you crank it up, there is a lot of distortion, so don't plan on providing tunes to a large party with this device. It will not fill a large room or deck with sound. As a personal speaker, however, it is really great I think it would be perfect to listen to audio books.  Lastly, with improvements in battery design, I just don't see 4 hours of play on a two-hour charge as being exceptional. While 4 hours is probably longer than a person might need  there are other similar devices that can play 2-3 times longer. Its a good device, but not great, so I rated it a 3.

Good:
Craftsmanship
Sound at playable volumes
Size
1/8  input for wired connection to audio sources
Pilot light to indicate it is on.

Not so good:
Distortion at full volume
4 hour battery life after a 2 hour charge
lack of low frequencies (bass)
