With spring weather finally hitting the Northern Hemisphere, it’s a good time to think about music accessories for the season’s barbeques, beach parties, picnics, and soirées. Enter the Hammacher Schlemmer portable solar-powered speaker.
Water-resistant, shock-resistant, and able to hold a charge for eight hours, this thing is a power player in the outdoor-events arena. On top of that, it measures in at 6.5″ x 6″ x 1″ and weighs about a pound, meaning you can pretty much take it anywhere. It’s also Bluetooth-enabled, meaning you can connect it to most iPads, iPods, iPhones, and Android devices and control the soundtrack remotely. But the best part? When you’re not playing music, you can connect your device via micro-USB and use the speaker as a solar charger.
The solar-powered speaker is available from the HS website for $99.95 plus shipping, which makes for a solid deal, especially when you consider that it also comes with HS’s “unconditional and unwavering” lifetime guarantee.
