this isn't the first product from Eaton 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 allterrain powered
wireless sound system it slices it dices it okay well it 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 one
meter okay see that's how confident I am
it is Splash proof to the ipx4 standard which basically means that
five minutes of splashing from with 10 L
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 Ruckus boom 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 8 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 8 more hours and if that's not enough for you then um well
it does have an AC input as well so check that out at the back you can or
did I see okay yeah so at the back you can power it via an adapter you can also
uh 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'll power the speakers and charge your phone and
finally H 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 speakers 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
150,000 audiobooks available if you head over to audible.com / Linus what you can
do is you can sign up for a new account you can get yourself a free audio book
which you could do even if you didn't go to my affiliate link but shame on you
you should go to the affiliate link if you're watching the video to get your free audio book anyway the point is out
of those 150,000 books there are at least five that matter and they are the
unabridged versions of the thraw Trilogy as well as the hand of thrawn series of
books so the original ones air to the Empire dark force rising and the last
command have been a 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 you're Star Wars nerds and if you're getting all excited about the new
rebooted movies that Disney's 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 um 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 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 it's 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 uh
Ruck 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 was able to
get
about about yay loud so I'd say it's
about as loud as if someone was kind of like yelling at you 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
