iDuo Hamburger Speakers
By: Laiq Qureshi   |   Jun 17, 2008
  • 4.5
Good sound
Awesome battery life
Affordable price
Nicely portable
Unknown manufacturer

Portable speakers seem to be in. My review of the X-mini Capsule speakers caught the attention of a lot of readers, and my inbox is inundated with curious folks asking if there are any more where this came from. The good news is, yes! I've been busy scouring the streets of Mumbai, and over the next couple of months you can expect at least one portable speaker review every week.


Over the last few days, talks with importers of such gadgets has yielded excellent results. This corroborates some valid concerns made by readers in the comments section of the X-mini review – that of fakes. Yes, one needs to beware of fakes, for the market is aplenty with such products. But I would like to point out that while many fakes do come from China, not all Chinese products are suspect.


Today we shall look at the iDuo Hamburger speakers, which are most definitely Chinese, but ingenious nevertheless. It picks up where X-mini’s story ends: stereo sound. For those who have been wondering if monaural is really the way the go, I would say the iDuo come highly recommended for those stereo sounds.


The speakers can attach to each other thanks to the magnetic base, and this makes transport easy. While playing you only need to remember to make the right connections. Amidst the cabling, you will find the rather radtastic enmesh of the connection cable. This entails mini-USB twins at one end, and a standard USB interface on the other. The two mini-USB pins go into slots on each speaker, and the USB leads into the computer (use only while charging).

Gopal,
Why waste time on Fake "iduo speakers? Look at the review carefully...under the "bad" portion, it says "UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER"

Just get an original X-mini MAX capsule speaker from HTPL India.

I have purchased a few as gifts and their quality is TERRIFIC !
Sachin @ Jul 09, 2008
Could u tell me where i can check out these Iduo speakers.
Gopal @ Jul 09, 2008
SAM, grow up. Don't be a frog living in a well and think that the sky is that big.

Just GOOGLE and type "X-mini capsule speaker" and the answer is pretty clear.

Look at those cheap packaging that iDUO comes with and if you put side by side with X-mini, basically iDUO is nothing..just another cheap China Fakes.

By the way I heard tomorrow, X-mini MAX is going to have a full page ad in Singapore Digital Life..this will be cool...can't wait to see this review man...

SHAILESH TOPRANI @ Jun 26, 2008
DEAR SUDHA - YOU DIDN'T QUITE GET MY POINT , OR NON OF IT AT ALL. YOU COPY AN ORIGINAL SO HOW IS THAT iDUO HAS MADE ITS PRESENCE INTERNATIONALLY ( AND IS SELLING BRILLIANTLY WELL, EVEN IN INDIA ) WHEN THE X MAX IS STILL TO BE LAUNCHED. YOU ARE PASSING COMMENTS HERE WHEN TECH2 TEAM HAS REVIEWED THIS PRODUCT. IF THESE WERE 'FAKE', TECH2 WOULD NOT REVIEWED IT, PERIOD !!!

Sapan @ Jun 25, 2008
IS the speakers available in KERALA????

COCHIN????

if anyone knw plz reply me .....
ARUNDAS @ Jun 25, 2008
hahaha, i beginning to enjoy these comments from various parties. Well, it seems to me only SAM is supporting iDUO..guess he is those who believe in cheap fake goods..then I would recommend you to buy a Frank Muller watch for only $50 but is a FAKE which I guess you wouldn't mind :=))))

i have news that the original will be out within the next two weeks and there will be massive reviews on both TV, magazine and newspaper...let's wait till then..x mini supporters!
Sudha @ Jun 25, 2008
EYES WIDE OPEN Mr. S S. "A massive GOOD review on iduo " appears above my friend. 4.5 points awarded by TECH2 Team to iDUO for Good sound, Awesome battery life, Affordable price & Nicely portable.
Look at the good side ( of everything ), not just FAKES (iPOD, XMINI, etc)
SAM @ Jun 24, 2008
watever it is, if anyone can find a massive GOOD review on iduo or TV reviews for iduo, then we will be convinced. At times, people will tend to get fooled by these "similar" copies. But look at the massive review and TV reviews which we receive, so far it only mention X mini. Was there any iDUO?
Moreover, if today anyone of us go to GOOGLE and search "capsule speaker", what is the brand that shows??? It is X mini..so the answer to Sam's question is very clear.

just like iPOD..there are 1001 fakes in the market but still, iPOD do sell pretty well as Mr Steve Job just don't care about these fakes...

so if u are me who is a loyal supporter for X mini brand, just stick with it and hack care whichever iduo or any other fake brand.

charlie, thanks for your comment...X mini Long live !
Siva Shankar @ Jun 24, 2008
For those who have heard the saying - EGG FIRST or THE CHICK.
iDUOs are available in India since a few months whereas the XMI's X-minimax have to still make a debut. ACCESS (at ATRTIA 1/F ) has been selling the iDOU since some time now. Funny isn't it ?? FAKES (AS IS CLAIMED) FIRST, ORIGINALS AFTER !!
SAM @ Jun 22, 2008
they are available at ACCESS Atria mall worli 1st floor
to get in touch with the store mail at argogri@gmail.com.these speakers really sound bad but i m waiting for the original ones which are coming soon . . .

Akshay Gupta @ Jun 22, 2008
For those who say that what is reviewed by TECH2 is FAKE, please look at the X-MINI or X-minimax from inside. The Speakers have the same components, the same performance that X-MINI or X-minimax has, simply because its from the same (CHINA) factory where XMI has X-MINI or X-minimax made.
SAM @ Jun 21, 2008
hello everyone,
do the original X-mini also cost Rs.1500?...
where are they available at Bangalore
vishak @ Jun 21, 2008
author, i like your last sentence but isn't it contradicting if yourself is also reviewing a FAKE X-mini MAX>>?????

I myself has seen the product in the recent Communic Asia 08 and has already taken some pictures and done up an interview with the XMI Sales Manager. We will be putting up a review very soon but I do advise tech2 to remove this, as it will not really look good on tech2, if u guys choose to review a fake product
Vijay - Tech3 Magazine @ Jun 21, 2008
Hi Nitin,

We are exclusive distributor in India for both X-mini and X-minimax. This product is available throught our 17 offices across the country. For more details, do contact Sapan Jhawar @ Himalayan Times Private Limited, New Delhi at 09958226868 or e-mail at nsm.pc@htpl.co.in.

We can arrange delivery to Chandigarh but do note that we will ONLY sell you the ORIGINAL X-mini MAx and not these fake iDUO.

I would urge Tech2 try to remove this review ASAP and put up one for the ORIGINAL X-mini MAX..as this will really confuse the consumers and causig damage to the X-mini brand.
Sapan Jhawar @ Jun 21, 2008
Are these speakers available in chandigarh..? If yes,where ..?? Please adivse.
Nitin @ Jun 21, 2008
seriously, i think tech2 should not review on fakes. They should review on the ORIGINAL mini MAX...

X-mini, we support you all the way.........keep up the good job and we can't wait to get the original mini MAX from HTPL India.

Sachin @ Jun 21, 2008
ya man, sometimes i just wonder why these fake guys still want to come into picture, whereby the ORIGINAL X-mini brand is already so popular...aren't they aware that it is like an egg hitting against the rock??? heheheh
Anil @ Jun 21, 2008
Damn! Is just another fake guys...don't be fooled by these copies. I have seen the ORIGINAL X-mini MINI MAX during the recent Communic Asia in Singapore and the sound is fantastic...and I check with XM-I Singapore and understand that we do have a Local Distributor who is carrying the ORIGINAL X-mini MAX..they are HTPL India, having 17 branch offices spreading around India...can't wait to get from them :-)

SAM @ Jun 18, 2008
Nice one. Just one request. Why can't you indicate where can these be bought in Mumbai. Maybe just the Market name say Heera Panna etc would do !!
Umesh D. @ Jun 18, 2008
Yeah Looks like these are knock offs of X-Minimax speakers.
BTW any body knows where these speakers are available in Hyderabad...
Anand @ Jun 18, 2008
Where in Pune might these be available??
Naren @ Jun 18, 2008
These are just knock offs ( copies/clones) I M sure what tech1 should be testing are the X-minimax speakers from X-mini.com which are Stereo version of x-mini tested by tech2. They will i m sure have better sound quality.
vijay @ Jun 18, 2008
At Delhi you can try at Nehru Place and Palika Bazaar
