OFF-ROAD: Eco Terra boombox

Eco Terra

“Bear-proof.” That’s what Eco Terra’s manufacturer, ECOXGEAR, calls the boombox.

Eco Terra is a waterproof, rugged and portable stereo system that plays music from any iPhone and most Android, Windows or Blackberry phones and other mp3 players.

Here’s how it works: The phone is placed in an airtight, waterproof compartment, where it streams audio to the boombox using an auxiliary input cord.

Four C cell batteries power the boombox, and they stay charged for 25 hours.

The Eco Terra also features two built-in waterproof speakers, an internal waterproof storage compartment, detachable carabineer clips, a nylon belt that can be used with the clips, an adjustable carrying handle and a waterproof headphone jack. The system also comes with an AC adapter wall charger for charging the batteries.

And… it floats.
