Portable speakers can come in handy for a variety of reasons. Obviously, they are great for outdoor parties, the beach, barbecues, and other social functions. But, they can also work for business travel. I enjoy listening to music in my hotel room, and the speaker provides better quality than my laptop.
Another great use of these speakers is for presentations, meetings, or even trade shows where power outlets may not always be in the most convenient of places. The battery can last up to seven hours, and the speaker can be mounted on most any surface.
The Ecoxgear Ecopebble Bluetooth speaker operates in tandem with any Bluetooth-compatible device including a smart phone or tablet. It is designed to be used outdoors because of its all-purpose, weather-resistant design.
In the summer, this could be the perfect gift for those that like to enjoy music while relaxing in the pool (or even those that want to use it in the bathroom or shower without concern of it getting wet). Since the rubbery exterior allows the speaker to float and get wet, it is perfect. There’s nothing wrong with a little rock and roll while getting dressed in the morning.
While the rubbery exterior and bright accent colors may not be entirely business-like, it is still a great tool for those that need powerful audio in presentations or just for personal enjoyment.
I am not a tech-savvy person, but connecting the Bluetooth signal was a cinch. The signal worked well even when the speaker was on the opposite side of the room or even in crowded places where presumably numerous signals could cause interference. It is important to note that while the sound quality is exceptional, it is not meant to blast across large spaces since it only has one driver that powers it.
The Ecoxgear Ecopebble Bluetooth speaker retails for about $50 on Amazon and numerous other retailers like Best Buy.
