this isn't the first product from Eton that I've ever unboxed but this one is actually even cooler than the other one so the original one I unboxed was the original ruckus this my friends is the rugged ruckus all-terrain powered wireless sound system it slices it dices it ok well doesn't do either of those things but what it does do is it makes noise in such a way that it is bound to be pleasing to your ears and it is ruggedized and splash proof so it can actually be dropped from a height of 1 meter okay see that's how confident I am it is splash proof to the i8 px4 standard which basically means that 5 minutes of splashing FRA with 10 liters per minute of splashing will not damage it from any direction with that said do not submerge it splash proof is not the same thing as waterproof and it's just not really intended to be used that way like the regular raucous booms solar-powered so you can actually run it for an unlimited amount of time as long as the Sun does not disappear into the cosmos away from us and because it has an integrated battery it'll actually run for eight hours without any sunlight so if you were to take it inside where there's no sunlight or if the Sun were to go down on your particular party you could keep partying for eight more hours and if that's not enough for you then well it does have an AC input as well so check that out at the back you can orbit I see okay yep so at the back you can power it via an adapter you can also yes USB out charge your smartphone or other device which is very very cool so that means that you can actually not even worry about your phone running out of battery while you have the solar panel going because that will power the speakers and charge your phone and finally yes it also has an auxiliary jack so it can be used not only via bluetooth but also just by plugging in directly on the front of the unit you've got the basic controls which are power bluetooth battery indicator boom it comes with at least 75% battery as well as volume up and volume down and then right on the front of the unit are pretty much the speaker so we will be right back after a word from our sponsors audible.com so guys if you're not already familiar with audible.com they're an Amazon company they have over a hundred and fifty thousand audiobooks available if you head over to audible.com slash Linus what you can do is you can sign up for a new account you can get yourself a free audiobook which you could do even if you didn't go to my affiliate link but shame on you should go to the affiliate link if you're watching the video to get your free audiobook anyway the point is out of those hundred and fifty thousand books there are at least five that matter and they are the unabridged versions of the Thrawn Trilogy as well as the hand of Ron series of books so the original ones heir to the Empire dark force rising and the last command have been available unabridged for quite a while now however there's an extremely exciting upcoming release and that is Spectre of the past and vision of the future are both coming in unabridged form very very soon so guys if your Star Wars nerds and if you're getting all excited about the new rebooted movies that Disney is going to be making over the next little bit and if you're like secretly hoping for them to tackle the whole Thrawn thing and cuz that's awesome then you can go ahead and geek out over the books and then even if they don't you'll still have had the audiobook experience so hopefully that'll make you feel a little bit better so you can head over to audible.com slash Linus and get yourself at least one of them for free and then if you do decide to go for a membership then you can listen to the rest of them as well over the next little while so moving right along let's pair this baby up and see how she sounds one thing I forgot to mention before is the handy carabiner loops right here so I guess the idea for a device like this where is rugged and splash proof and all that stuff is you like clip it to the back of your backpack and you like ride around through the bush on your you know mountain bike with it or whatever else and for something like that it's very very practical compared to the other rough ruckus right that's what it's called now the thing that isn't as good as the other ruckus which makes sense is the audio quality so it's able to get about about very loud so I'd say it's about as loud as if someone was kind of like yelling at you're pretty loud kind of like that but it's not it's not as loud and it's not as distortion-free as the other one it does go louder than this but you will experience some Distortion so with that said is it good for what its intended uses absolutely does the solar power work absolutely in fact if anything it charges a little bit more reliably than the bigger one for me I guess this would be to do with just you know advancements in their implementation I think that pretty much covers it thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the rugged ruckus from Eaton don't forget to subscribe - tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos and
