First by IXOS is the cable company's new 'value' brand aimed at delivering the best possible price points in a range of cables, interconnects and digital lifestyle accessories.
Kicking things off is the XMM238 Cube Travel Speaker, which retails at a pocket-friendly-tastic £15.
Battery and USB powered for total portability, this dinky little speaker works with pretty much every gadget with noise-making facility via the universal 3.5mm lineout jack.
Sonically we won't be shaking walls with a two-watt total power output thanks to the two side facing drive units crammed into the rigid cube speaker cabinet, but as a travel companion this has got to beat most friends for consistently good company.

Four AA batteries will keep you in song for eight hours plus, while the USB option will charge when connected to a laptop. The XMM238 is supplied with 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio lead and USB power cable - pretty good considering the cost.
Available in white, black or pink with metallic top plate, it measures 70x70x70mm, weighs in at 130g and is available now.
