what's up everyone John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo review for you of the Eton Solara solar speaker set which is made to work perfectly with your eye devices let's go ahead and see if this is worth your hard earned speaker dollar so if you're interested in picking up one of these guys it's gonna set you back just about a hundred and sixty-five dollars from Amazon or the Apple online store and at its essence it's very much a portable speaker system something that we've seen quite a bit of in the past however this guy's got a secret tucked under its hood which really separates it from the pack so first let's talk about the specs it's got an IP x4 splash proof speakers so the speakers on both sides protected against spraying water from all angles a 10 litres so it can actually take a decent amount of splash if you're playing in the pool or if you are sitting in Jacuzzi whatever it might be and some water gets on this guy you don't have to worry you're gonna get four hours of audio playback at mid volume a continuous charging of your iPhone or iPod Touch and we'll see where that goes in just a minute it is fully rechargeable so it uses two cell lithium ion two thousand milliamp hour batteries and it can actually charge in direct sunlight because it's secret it's got hiding is a solar panel right under the hood right then go ahead and tilt the back you can see it too right there and see me talking and actually that will charge it as well if you have an indirect sunlight it'll charge the whole thing all the way up in just about ten hours the to full range speakers are driven the total output of 11 watts which is kind of neat alright so let's go ahead and get started and start talking a little bit more about the device and the design it is extremely light clocks it in just about three and a half pounds which makes it a nice weight to go ahead and bring with you poolside from a control standpoint you've got sort of your typical array of buttons these are probably what you're gonna produce primarily however you don't have to rely on using the device itself it comes with a remote which actually works pretty well when using this guy for the past few and once I had some friends over we had a pool party at my community's pool and it was nice to have this thing and put a poolside and are able to just flip up the solar panel listen to our music and not have to worry about falling into water or electrocuting ourselves ready to plug it in and find a power outlet I really just made for a nice music listening experience and the quality was very good so let me go ahead and pop a iphone in here and show you what it looks like and this will work with non-ai devices there's a line in the back just meant for a devices because it will actually charge it on addition to playing music from it I'm going to pop my iPhone right in there and one of the worries I had about bringing my iPhone which is my primary technology that I use a poolside so I was worried that it might get splashed or might get a little bit damaged especially if something that's meant to be used outdoors well the folks you can actually thought of that and chips with this little plastic guard which slides right in and will protect your device from any sort of bad water damage go ahead and pull this out um good turn on as well and show you that it is indeed charging the device a sound quality is extremely good it's difficult for me to review speakers and let you guys hear the sound first it's gonna get distorted coming out of the speakers have been recorded into the camera then getting uploaded to YouTube is also not gonna sound quite right and there's also that little copyright issue so what I'm gonna do to sort of try and illustrate the sound quality for you so I'm gonna play a YouTube video which I own the rights to video that I just uploaded earlier in the day we'll go ahead and hit play Nick is here at least a little bit of sample of what the audio is going to sound like you know use them and I will splice those two segments of the video together let's go ahead and get started I'm gonna go ahead and pause it there it sounds very good you're gonna have to take my word for it the bass and the sound is very rich crisp and clear otherwise any distortion or fuzzing or popping noise coming from a device that I've had on other speaker sets I'll reviewed quite a number of speakers in the past some are good some are not bad this one is probably one of the best portable speaker from poor performance that I've seen and then it throws in the solar panel on top which really makes it a bit more versatile especially in the warm sunny months something that you might want to stock up for once summer comes back around anyway guys overall its speaker that I really enjoyed it's versatile I'm not worried about getting it wet not that I'm gonna dump it in a pool but if something splashing should happen to it I've actually brought this over to my parents house and my nieces were there and put it by the spa so they could play with it I wasn't to some music and we had a lot of fun doing a sing-along with this so I've actually found it to be extremely useful and I think you guys will as well so I am John rector from TechnoBuffalo with a full review for you of the Eton Solara solar speaker system there'll be a link down below in case you want to check it out see in the next video bye bye
