Definitely a good alternative to the X-mini max as you can choose to use 1 instead of using both capsules at the same time.

Comparison between the new and old X-mini.
The new 1 looks bigger and have a nicer design. (Matt black driver, red tweeter)

The new volume dial offers greater volume control.
The 3.5mm audio cable is now integrated into the capsule itself.

Now, you can fix up as many x-mini IIs as you like together
The X-mini II's pitch, a modular buddy-jack design that lets you daisy chain as many X-mini IIs as you want

 hmm...the integrated wire might make it sleeker, but I sure do hope it is extendable...otherwise it is quite short for my usage.

apart from that, I suppose joining more than one unit does not make it stereo? It seems like its just mono channel x Xnumber of units......

The volume knob makes it a viable upgrade from the older models 2 volume setting as I found the volume on mine almost always too loud even on the lower setting. The red tweeter looks really hot, but I believe the first image is only a rendering leh...

If its not that much larger than the X-mini, I would wanna get one of this...I found the one I have to be really handy :)
