Ah, late July. The perfect time for a
little R&R. And whether that’s on the back porch, in the back yard, or in
the back woods you just might want a little music to help you relax. But you
have to admit, hanging out outdoors with your headphones on kind of defeats the
purpose to soaking in the environment. Trouble is your iPod barely has enough
juice to keep itself going, let alone crank out tunage on some dinky speakers.
And if you’re anywhere but next to the house chances are a power outlet ain’t
exactly at arms length. But don’t get out that extension cord just yet.
Consider first these nifty Solar Powered Portable Speakers.
Designed to work with most music phones as
well as iPods, iPhones, and mp3 players this solar powered sound system means
you can cut the cord and keep the music. The built-in rechargeable battery
soaks up the suns rays and provides a return of up to 8 hours of music for 6
hours tanning time. Not only is such a device ideal for a trip to the cottage
but it’s small enough and light enough to toss in with your camping gear should
you want to leave the trappings of this modern world behind but not your Boz
Scaggs.
Now, admittedly these speakers aren’t going
to be busting ear drums or pulling in noise complaints. But given its
portability, usability, and rechargeability this system has a lot of
capability. The fact that the manufacturers went to the lengths of supporting
additional music phones like Sony Ericcson, Nokia, and Samsung makes these speakers all the more useful.
