Introducing the Rugged Ruckus: A Revolutionary Solar Powered Wireless Sound System

What's up guys? It's L from Unbox Therapy, and today we're taking a look at an all-terrain solar powered wireless sound system from the folks at Eaton. This is called the rugged Ruckus, and it gives you a splash-proof Bluetooth enabled speaker system for connecting your wireless devices so you can stream music to it in environments where you wouldn't want to damage some other type of boom box.

One of the standout features of the rugged Ruckus is its built-in solar panel. This is pretty unique, as most portable speakers don't come with a solar panel. However, this feature allows you to recharge the device using just the solar panel in under 5 hours if it's in direct sunlight. Not only that, but the rugged Ruckus can also be used as a backup battery because you can charge things like your smartphone via a USB port right on the system.

In terms of specs, the rugged Ruckus is capable of grabbing a full charge in direct sunlight in 5 hours using just the solar panel. If you need to speed up that process, you can recharge it over USB and cut that time in half to about 2 and a half hours with a full charge. It's also capable of delivering 8 plus hours of music playtime, but since you're probably using this outside in the sun, it will likely be charging while you're using it, so you probably won't ever have to worry about running out of battery.

One of the most impressive things about the rugged Ruckus is its portability. It's only 1.2 pounds, making it incredibly lightweight and easy to take with you on the go. This makes it not only a great sound system for outdoor events or camping trips but also a heavy-duty battery backup for your home or office. The included USB cable allows you to recharge the device or charge other USB devices like mobile phones or MP3 players.

When we opened up the box, we found that it came with some paperwork, which was about it in terms of contents. However, what's inside the box is what matters most. We have a giant solar panel dominating the top of the rugged Ruckus, and the speakers are located on the front side. Now, let's talk about how the rugged Ruckus performs.

As we mentioned earlier, the rugged Ruckus has a water-resistant design, achieved by covering up most of the inputs and outputs or all of them with rubberized flaps that you have to remove to access them. This is a great feature for outdoor use, as it protects your device from the elements. The rugged Ruckus also supports analog audio devices through the use of an auxiliary jack, which is essentially a headphone jack. If your device doesn't support Bluetooth or you don't want to use Bluetooth streaming, you still have access to these speakers using a standard audio cable.

In addition to its impressive features, the rugged Ruckus also comes with some bright lights that help identify whether a port is active or not. For example, if you click on the back of the device to turn on the light, it will show you which ports are active and ready for use. This feature helps prevent battery drain when you're not using certain ports.

Now that we've talked about all the features and specs of the rugged Ruckus, let's put it through its paces with a sound test. We set up our Zoom H2 audio recorder in front of the rugged Ruckus, and what we got was some pretty impressive performance from such a small unit. The device was able to deliver clear and crisp audio that was perfect for music listening or recording.

The rugged Ruckus is an amazing product that checks all the boxes for outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and anyone looking for a reliable sound system. Its built-in solar panel, water-resistant design, and long-lasting battery make it a great choice for anyone who spends time outside. Whether you're using it for music listening, recording, or just need a backup power source, the rugged Ruckus is definitely worth checking out.

If you're interested in pricing and availability on the rugged Ruckus, I'll put a link down in the description below. And if you enjoyed this content, please remember to leave a thumbs up down below thanks for watching, and I'll catch you all on the next episode.
