00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:14.679
welcome to my unboxing and first look at something that's actually kind of

00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:16.320
interesting this is the Eon Ruckus solar

00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:18.920
portable Bluetooth sound system with solar

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:26.679
panel so if you guys ever saw the

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:29.759
episodes I did about the jam boox by

00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:32.480
Jawbone you'll have some idea what this

00:00:29.759 --> 00:00:39.040
thing is however the solar panel is what turns

00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:42.719
this from a product that's sort of um

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:46.000
mildly interesting to something that is

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:47.920
far more mildly interesting so far more

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

00:00:51.239 --> 00:00:56.520
your new iton okay I don't know how to pronounce that rockas can only get

00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:01.039
better with 3 months of free music with access toog get 15 million songs at your

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:04.640
fingertips download unlimited songs to your mobile device jam out to new Rel

00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:10.640
releases and custom radio with artist only stations hear music everywhere cool

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:15.520
so comes with a 3mon uh 3mon voucher very neat stuff okay it also comes with

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:23.439
a power adapter presumably for charging if you are not near the sun which is

00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:27.360
everywhere except at night

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:29.119
whoo whoa okay let's have a look at this

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:33.479
device I actually don't know that much about this other other than that it's

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

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:43.640
big into things that I don't have to buy batteries for or deal with charging

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.560
because like many gamers and PC sort of

00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:50.280
types and hopefully you guys can relate with me here and I'm not just being

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:53.119
insulting I'm pretty freaking lazy when

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

00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:00.880
device should just automatically recharge itself when I'm done using the

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:05.240
battery so there we go all right NE need form

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:09.119
factor okay so number one Bluetooth connectivity with one touch pairing and

00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:13.360
control okay high quality stereo streaming support that's good play music

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:18.840
from Bluetooth enabled smartphone tablet laptop or PC comes with a little pocket

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

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:25.280
hopefully it won't fall out I oh oh look

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

00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:34.640
to the device here and this sticker actually adds some friction to it so

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:39.319
once you throw your phone in there the odds of it falling out okay

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

00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:46.959
you're actually supposed to carry it like this so that you won't run into

00:02:45.239 --> 00:02:51.319
problems with it falling out but either way that's awesome you don't actually

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

00:02:54.040 --> 00:03:00.840
flip this around you can use the included USB plug right here to actually

00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:03.599
charge your device device at the same time that you're using it so that's

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

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

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

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

00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:26.400
straightforward it's covered in solar panels what were you expecting

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

00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:32.840
he has an e in to display which is kind of

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:38.319
cool there's a button for Bluetooth button for

00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:41.560
USB uh this will switch to your auxiliary there's base there's volume up

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

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

00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:00.680
going okay so I'm not a dancer but the

00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:05.400
point is I've heard air number of these sort of Bluetooth speaker things this

00:04:03.799 --> 00:04:09.680
one has the advantage of being a little bit bigger than the twist that we looked

00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:14.079
at before as well as the jam boox however I can say with confidence that

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:18.600
it takes advantage of its larger size it delivers significantly more base it's

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

00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:26.080
beach and drive everyone else around you crazy with like you know how awesome and

00:04:24.440 --> 00:04:29.919
Loud your Beats are or whatever else it's not like that it's very directional

00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.160
sound which means that if you got your group on the sand or whatever you

00:04:31.320 --> 00:04:35.639
position it a little bit away from yourselves and point it at yourselves

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

00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:45.080
bothered pairing was quick so we were able to pair just by holding down the

00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:48.720
Bluetooth button it's detected we pair it up no big deal I couldn't quite

00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:52.840
figure out how the base control worked but the eink display is awesome so you

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

00:04:54.840 --> 00:05:01.039
extremely power efficient um okay that

00:04:58.840 --> 00:05:04.000
probably turns the USB charging on and off so that's kind of cool and then

00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:08.880
that's going to again switch to your auxiliary versus your Bluetooth playback

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

00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:16.080
works and it's semi-independent from your volume control on your phone so a

00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.080
lot of the time these Bluetooth devices will SN so you're controlling both of

00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:23.240
their volumes at the same time this seems to be somewhat separate uh you get

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.880
up to eight plus hours of battery life according to them so in terms of music

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:34.400
playback time and charges fully in less than 6 hours indirect sunlight so so

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.800
overall very cool little device actually

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

00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:45.680
here I think that pretty much covers it so in conclusion not super loud super

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

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

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

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

00:05:58.039 --> 00:06:05.319
be used either way and if feels pretty robust like it's not going to break

00:06:02.840 --> 00:06:09.080
immediately or anything like that thank you for checking out this unboxing and
