she flows like a river of bass vibration

At BangFace earlier this year I discovered the musical genre known as "Drum and...". This genre is best experienced when listening to almost any type of music over a set of battery powered travel speakers for your PMP, as it is transformed into a steady stream of tinny __tsh__tsh__tsh sounds with the baseline mercilessly discarded. The problem is that most travel speakers can't replicate the rich base-sounds that the kids love so much today, and substitute volume over clarity.
The X-Mini Max overcomes this by (allegedly) creating an expandable vacuum in both of the speakers, replicating the effect of a subwoofer. The speakers themselves clip together magnetically when not in use to form a small ball that fits in your fist, have usb-rechargeable lithium batteries, and when in use the tops of each speaker pop up like an accordion-sun roof on a VW Camper Van to create the aforementioned vacuum. The sound is great, easily the richest sound from a set of travel speakers that I've ever heard, and they seem pretty rugged and durable.
The Very Understanding Girlfriend's brother described them to me a few months ago, but I haven't been able to track down a pair online (though Play.com is advertising them for STG£24.99). Then as if by magic I was walking past Laptoplab (formerly 'Back from the Future') on Ainger Street this morning and they had a set inside, just arrived in today.
Wahoo.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled political angst and ecological ire.

LaptopLab/Back from the Future - for a gadget shop they are pretty weak and actually don't have a functioning website. Seriously. Tweet
