Features & Specifications
The Mint 220 utilizes the Texas instruments PurePath Digital audio amplifier and uses 2.4 GHz lossless streaming for sending music wirelessly from the PC or Mac. Mint says the wireless range for the 220 is 45 feet or 15 meters. Inside the shiny, black case, the Mint 220 has dual 3.5-inch Peerless transducers. The Mint 220 can dock most iPods and the iPhone and charge them while docked. The 220 also has a line-in for DAPs other than the iPod. The MSRP for the Mint 220 is $179.99.

Setup & Use
The Mint 220 is small and sized well for use in many places around the home. The speaker system measures 11.4" x 7" x 4.3". Setting the Mint 220 up requires nothing more than removing it from the box, plugging it into the wall, and docking your iPod. Connecting the Mint 220 to your Pc via the wireless adapter is a cinch as well.

All I had to do was plug the wireless receiver into a USB port on my computer and the wireless stream from YouTube was picked up immediately without any drivers required. The system includes a wireless remote that allows you to switch between iPod, wireless and line-in for different music sources.

The Mint 220 sounds very good. Mid range and high sounds are crisp and sharp. Bass form the small speaker is deep and doesn't over power the vocals. When streaming music or other studio wirelessly from the PC, I noticed no lag. The wireless range is right on with the 45-foot promise from Mint.

The remote allows full control of the iPod including pause/play, track forward and back, and volume up and down. The remote also has a mute button, a button to activate the EQ, and a power switch to turn the system off.

Overall, the Mint 220 is very impressive. The sound quality from the small system is great, the price is very good at $179, and the system is very easy to set up for wireless streaming. It's hard to go wrong with the Mint 220. The only way I could see the Mint 220 being better would be if you had the option to run it from batteries for truly portable use.
