Perfect for anywhere! Drive-in must have!

I purchased from seller Alisten E-tRon, portable wireless Bluetooth speaker by Aulker. I was looking for another Bluetooth speaker. I have one that has screw connection on the bottom allowing you to attach to tripod but does not have FM radio or SD card reader. My son has a Beats Pill but it does not have an option to update it and after the 1^st year it would not hold a charge and kept (keeps) dropping Bluetooth connections. I liked the fact that this one does have FM radio. I really dislike the fact that you can not see what FM station you have it on and that each time you turn it off and back on it resets the FM station to what is static for us and we have to go up or down to find a channel. I have actually gotten more than 10 hours out of the battery, but that is because we listen to it for an hour or so each morning while getting ready for the day, and sometimes at night in the bath. If I had to give a guess on the total length of time for the last charge, I would have to guess at about 15 hours. We took it to the drive-in, it had much better sound than the portable stereo we always take, except for the extremely loud sound effects, we had some feed back when the volume was up.

Pros:

• 10 hour play time power (with us, turning it off and on for an hour or so at a time, we got around 15 hours on 1 charge)
• FM radio (can not see what station it is on and it resets back to original setting every time you power it off)
• Micro TF/SD Card (have not used this feature yet but am excited to try it)
• USB import (have not tried this yet but plan to try it soon)
• Built-in Microphone 
• 3-4 hours for complete charge
• AUX cable connection available
• On/Off switch (like this feature, sometimes with the press button, you have to hold for several seconds to power on/off)
• Easily connects (quickly reconnects to last devise and easily connects to others)
• Lightweight (did not notice any extra weight in my purse, thought I had left it at home)
• Crystal clear, has a nice base sound too (unless you max volume and have loud sound effects going off, then you get a little bit of static feed back)
• Rubber on bottom to prevent slipping a
• Loud for its size (sounded much louder than the portable stereo we were using, even at a lower volume)
• Small enough to carry in my handbag

Cons:

• Light indicating charge complete is on back under the connection
• When switching to FM mode it reverts to the same station it came on, which for me is static, wish it would revert to your last used FM station
• Does not have a display for what FM station you are on

Overall: 

I love it. I love the fact, that if I forgot my electronics downstairs, I can still use the speaker, in FM mode, to listen to music while getting ready. I may have to get another to keep in the home office/study/sewing room. This is perfect for drive-in nights, you don’t have to have batteries for a portable stereo, or have to worry about car battery or having the car running and using gas.

Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

#AYLSPEAKERS http://amzn.to/1U9WXB9

I purchased from seller Accessorise Your Life, Waterproof Bluetooth speaker. I am always looking for Bluetooth speakers that I can use in the bathroom, outside for parties, at the office, at the park, where the day may take me. I really liked the fact that this one has the ability to be put on my tripod, so that when outside it does not take up space on the table, or have to be placed on the ground.

Portable 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub

I purchased from seller KeagTech, an Ultra Slim 4-Port USB 2.0 Data Hub. I saw this hub and it is much smaller and thinner than the current, portable hub that I have and my first thought was that I needed to get a new portable hub to carry with me to class since my laptop only has 2 USB ports and if I connect my iPod/iPad/iPhone, a thumb drive, external harddrive or portable external CD burner, I can not use all that I may need at the time. This hub will allow me to backup to my external harddrive, connect my iPod for charging, connect my Bluetooth earbuds to charge and still be able to access my thumb drive if needed.

Pros:

• Compact
• Gives more USB connection when needed
• Easy to carry
• Fast
• Short cable to keep it close to computer instead of having a hugely long cable taking up a lot of desk space

Cons:

• None found as yet

 

Overall: 

            I would definitely recommend. It would be something I would get a friend who has limited USB port access and needs multiple ports, especially when away from home.

Dual USB Solar 8000mAh Charger, OCTOPUS High Capacity Waterproof Portable

I purchased from seller Octopus Products, a Dual USB Solar 8000mAh Charger, OCTOPUS High Capacity Waterproof Portable. First thing I liked about it was the rubber protection surrounding the charger providing shock resistance, which is good since my pre-teen will still it and drops everything.. The instructions explained that each bar was 20% so if you had 5 bars then it was 100% charged. I saw that it had 2 UBS port to charge multiple devices, which will allow him to charge his iPad and iPhone at the same time.  There was a C clamp and a designed place to attach it and now you can attach to backpack/purse strap. If it is hanging on backpack and you are outside it of bag, it will be able to charge from the sunlight. Also is water-resistant, so if it starts to rain, you can get it and it won’t be dead because it got a little wet.

Since it can charge in sunlight, my husband can drain his phone during the day and plug it in to the charger and place it on his bag in the sunlight while he is at outside on campus walking or clip to his waste while at Lacrosse practice/games or outside working in the yard. He will have enough charge now to call us if we are not with him and he needs us.

Pros:

* Can fully charge up to 4 times before needing to recharge

* Can charge 2 items at the same time

* Withstand up to 6ft drops

* Waterproof/rainproof/shockproof/dustproof

* Scratch resistant

* Solar charging panel

* Auto detects fastest charging speed possible for each device for fastest charge

* Weighs under 6 ounces

* Safe to use/charge in temperatures between 14°F and 113°F

Cons:              

* .Only thing I have found, is that like other chargers, it will not charge Bluetooth earbuds.

 

Overall: Great for someone who is walking around campus, or camping. They would be able to charge some what which would allow them to keep some charge to their phone in case of emergency.
