00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:14,679
welcome to my unboxing and first look at something that's actually kind of

2
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:16,320
interesting this is the Eon Ruckus solar

3
00:00:14,679 --> 00:00:18,920
portable Bluetooth sound system with solar

4
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:26,679
panel so if you guys ever saw the

5
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:29,759
episodes I did about the jam boox by

6
00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:32,480
Jawbone you'll have some idea what this

7
00:00:29,759 --> 00:00:39,040
thing is however the solar panel is what turns

8
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:42,719
this from a product that's sort of um

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:46,000
mildly interesting to something that is

10
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:47,920
far more mildly interesting so far more

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:53,680
interesting let's put it that way so it comes with a coupon for hold up okay

12
00:00:51,239 --> 00:00:56,520
your new iton okay I don't know how to pronounce that rockas can only get

13
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:01,039
better with 3 months of free music with access toog get 15 million songs at your

14
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,640
fingertips download unlimited songs to your mobile device jam out to new Rel

15
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:10,640
releases and custom radio with artist only stations hear music everywhere cool

16
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:15,520
so comes with a 3mon uh 3mon voucher very neat stuff okay it also comes with

17
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:23,439
a power adapter presumably for charging if you are not near the sun which is

18
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:27,360
everywhere except at night

19
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:29,119
whoo whoa okay let's have a look at this

20
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:33,479
device I actually don't know that much about this other other than that it's

21
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:38,439
solar powered which sort of makes it inherently really cool to me I'm I'm I'm

22
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:43,640
big into things that I don't have to buy batteries for or deal with charging

23
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:45,560
because like many gamers and PC sort of

24
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:50,280
types and hopefully you guys can relate with me here and I'm not just being

25
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:53,119
insulting I'm pretty freaking lazy when

26
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:56,799
it comes to charging devices like I just I can't be bothered to do that every

27
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:00,880
device should just automatically recharge itself when I'm done using the

28
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:05,240
battery so there we go all right NE need form

29
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:09,119
factor okay so number one Bluetooth connectivity with one touch pairing and

30
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:13,360
control okay high quality stereo streaming support that's good play music

31
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:18,840
from Bluetooth enabled smartphone tablet laptop or PC comes with a little pocket

32
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:23,720
for throwing your uh your device into it so you know hopefully it won't I guess

33
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,280
hopefully it won't fall out I oh oh look

34
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:30,360
how smart this is look at look look look look this so there's a slight curvature

35
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:34,640
to the device here and this sticker actually adds some friction to it so

36
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:39,319
once you throw your phone in there the odds of it falling out okay

37
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:42,640
there there it goes but even then it's going to bump up against the handle so

38
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,959
you're actually supposed to carry it like this so that you won't run into

39
00:02:45,239 --> 00:02:51,319
problems with it falling out but either way that's awesome you don't actually

40
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:56,040
have to pH no way so it doesn't include a USB cable unfortunately but if you

41
00:02:54,040 --> 00:03:00,840
flip this around you can use the included USB plug right here to actually

42
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:03,599
charge your device device at the same time that you're using it so that's

43
00:03:02,519 --> 00:03:08,519
that's kind of smart too it's got an auxiliary in so even if you don't have bluetooth support with the device that

44
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,680
you want to listen to music on or whatever else you can just use an um you

45
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:17,840
can just use a 3.5 mm cable which is good stuff and then there's the power in

46
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,760
so that's sort of the the ergonomics of the back of it the top is pretty

47
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:26,400
straightforward it's covered in solar panels what were you expecting

48
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,680
guys okay no I know that's what you were expecting so we've got a power button uh

49
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,840
he has an e in to display which is kind of

50
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,319
cool there's a button for Bluetooth button for

51
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,560
USB uh this will switch to your auxiliary there's base there's volume up

52
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:46,360
volume down so the controls are pretty straightforward looks like it's on so you know what the only thing to do right

53
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:49,799
now is uh try this thing out so give me a sec here guys and I'll I'll get this

54
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,680
going okay so I'm not a dancer but the

55
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:05,400
point is I've heard air number of these sort of Bluetooth speaker things this

56
00:04:03,799 --> 00:04:09,680
one has the advantage of being a little bit bigger than the twist that we looked

57
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:14,079
at before as well as the jam boox however I can say with confidence that

58
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:18,600
it takes advantage of its larger size it delivers significantly more base it's

59
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:22,199
not super loud this is not the kind of device that you're going to take to the

60
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:26,080
beach and drive everyone else around you crazy with like you know how awesome and

61
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,919
Loud your Beats are or whatever else it's not like that it's very directional

62
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,160
sound which means that if you got your group on the sand or whatever you

63
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,639
position it a little bit away from yourselves and point it at yourselves

64
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:41,680
you're going to be able to hear it really well whereas the people around you are probably not going to be that

65
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:45,080
bothered pairing was quick so we were able to pair just by holding down the

66
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:48,720
Bluetooth button it's detected we pair it up no big deal I couldn't quite

67
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,840
figure out how the base control worked but the eink display is awesome so you

68
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:58,840
can actually see right here it's very very clear and because it's in it's

69
00:04:54,840 --> 00:05:01,039
extremely power efficient um okay that

70
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:04,000
probably turns the USB charging on and off so that's kind of cool and then

71
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:08,880
that's going to again switch to your auxiliary versus your Bluetooth playback

72
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:12,400
and again I'm not I'm not quite sure how this works but the volume up and down

73
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,080
works and it's semi-independent from your volume control on your phone so a

74
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,080
lot of the time these Bluetooth devices will SN so you're controlling both of

75
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,240
their volumes at the same time this seems to be somewhat separate uh you get

76
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,880
up to eight plus hours of battery life according to them so in terms of music

77
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:34,400
playback time and charges fully in less than 6 hours indirect sunlight so so

78
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,800
overall very cool little device actually

79
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:41,840
let me just make sure I'm not missing anything before we uh before we wrap up

80
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:45,680
here I think that pretty much covers it so in conclusion not super loud super

81
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,759
easy to use it's not that heavy so it's something you can easily Chuck into you

82
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:53,520
know your bag or whatever else you know it's not going to be that heavy the bottom is rubberized so it's not going

83
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,160
to slip if you put it down on anything however 90% of the time you're probably

84
00:05:54,919 --> 00:06:00,160
going to be using it like this it's got rubberized feet there as well so it can

85
00:05:58,039 --> 00:06:05,319
be used either way and if feels pretty robust like it's not going to break

86
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:09,080
immediately or anything like that thank you for checking out this unboxing and
