£12.99 speakers designed for those lonely nights in hotel rooms…

Just in time for Christmas, IXOS has unveiled its newly improved XMM238 Cube Travel Speaker.

Measuring just 7cm in each direction and a mere 130g in weight, the XMM238 Cube can be connected to your laptop, iPod, generic MP3 player or any other audio source that houses a 3.5mm port.

The two sideways firing drivers, either powered by four AA batteries or by connecting to a USB port, provide 2 watts of speaker power and are claimed to “deliver a surprisingly spacious sound”.

If that wasn’t good enough value for the £12.99 price tag, the good folks at IXOS have decided to throw in a 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack so you can connect up the tiny cube to your audio source and a USB power cable to ensure that your listening pleasure doesn’t need to be interrupted by drained batteries.

Although no replacement for your home iPod dock or stereo setup, due to the XMM238 Cube’s tiny size and ease of portability, it would prove a useful gadget for music fans who find themselves staying in different hotels night after night. Despite its low cost, the Cube Travel Speaker, available in white, black and pink, is a good looking piece of kit with all colours being finished with a metallic top plate. All for £12.99, what a steal.
