Ecoxgear EcoBoulder+ speaker pumps up outdoor entertainment

ecoxgear-boulderEcoxgear is a name that many of us are familiar with, especially when it comes to tough, durable, and waterproof wireless speakers. This time around, Ecoxgear has decided to take the hugely popular EcoBoulder speaker by making some improvements to it, resulting in the EcoBoulder+ speaker that is there to help pump up your outdoor entertainment sessions without getting into a fix.

The Ecoxgear EcoBoulder+ will definitely not shy away from delivering top notch audio when you are outdoors having the time of your life, since it arrives packed with 100 watts of power right out of the box that is accompanied by an 8-inch full range speaker, a 3-inch tweeter and an 8-inch passive woofer that will certainly be able to rock any party. Not only that, it will also boast of equalizer settings as well as new digital audio sound processing technology which enables it to enhance and customize the already stellar sound. Sporting integrated ECOTALK technology, the user is also able to speak directly into the EcoBoulder+ while gaining access to Siri or the OK Google voice assistant, allowing you to alter the current playing track or volume without having to worry about your smartphone being dunked or catching some dirt.

The Ecoxgear EcoBoulder+ prides itself in being 100% waterproof thanks to its IP67 certification, which makes it fully submersible while featuring a UV protected housing. This would also mean it is dirt/dust proof and will float in the event that someone accidentally knocks it into the water. Such a rugged, outdoor friendly speaker has enough battery power to deliver up to 50 hours of playtime at normal listening levels, which should be enough to guarantee adequate battery life for the whole weekend before requiring a quick trip to the nearest power outlet. It also doubles up as a portable power bank since there is an integrated USB charging port.

Expect the Ecoxgear EcoBoulder+ to retail for $249.99 a pop.
