Looking for a compact, yet rugged, wireless speaker system to take on your next backpacking trip? Then look no further than the new
Turtle Shell Boombox from
Outdoor Tech. This powerful little sound system connects wirelessly to your smartphone or tablet via BlueTooth and pumps out your favorite tunes, podcasts or streaming audio. It is also water resistant, dust and shock proof, and designed to be mounted just about anywhere. It even comes with built-in camera threading, which means it can be mounted on tripods or a variety of other items quickly and easily. It comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides 9-10 hours of use and will make a good travel companion for those who need a little entertainment around the campfire.
Outdoor Tech is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to raise funding for the Turtle Shell. They're hoping to get about $40,000 in donations before they go into production. With just under two weeks to go in the campaign, they still have to generate a bit more than $20,000. To get there, they're providing some nice incentives for those who contribute, including selling the Turtle Shell for just $99. When it hits retail, the unit will run $149, so if you're interested, this is a great way to grab one at a discounted price.
