ready to party this is a party speaker
0:03
let's check it

[Music]
0:10
out Dave Taylor here checking out this
0:14
this is the Radio Shack RGB Bluetooth
0:17
speaker yes Radio Shack now this is the
0:21
second device that I've tested and
0:23
checked out from the new resurrected
0:26
Radio Shack you can go back to the first
0:28
review to learn a a little bit about the
0:30
history and how the company and brand
0:32
has come back but they have pretty darn
0:35
interesting products and this is a hefty
0:39
pup this is an outdoor Bluetooth speaker
0:44
with 74 watts of output and it has
0:47
360° sound projection so there are
0:50
speakers pointing out from all different
0:53
directions if you get two of these they
0:55
can automatically pair and give you
0:58
stereo which is great but even one is
1:01
plenty enough to fill an auditorium or a
1:05
gym or certainly for an outdoor picnic
1:08
or party or on the dock or on your boat
1:11
this would be something where the people
1:12
around you were like can you turn it
1:14
down and you of course can't hear them
1:16
because you're crazy partying with this
1:18
loud music so Dynamic RGB lighting you
1:22
can see that and it's ipx5 water
1:25
resistant and it is pretty hefty it is
1:28
pretty heavy too
1:30
but that's partially because it is a
1:32
4400 milliamp battery which gives you
1:36
they say at maximum volume 2 hours of
1:39
playback at 50% volume three plus hours
1:44
of playback so it's not like a 12-hour
1:46
speaker but honestly by the time this
1:49
starts running out of energy you and
1:52
your party fouls are probably running
1:53
out of energy too so Bluetooth 4.2 so
1:57
it's a pretty old version of Bluetooth
1:59
but it still gives your 30t range and
2:01
you know enough talking let me put on
2:03
some
2:06
music and then I'm going to use the
2:08
controls to make it
2:12
louder and it gets really loud
2:16
[Music]
2:23
so so I can hear this perfectly well
2:27
sitting behind the speaker and I want to
2:30
point out that I can push a button and
2:33
turn off the lights and of course I can
2:35
also do things like pause the music go
2:39
to the next track go to the previous
2:41
track in fact let me show you all the
2:43
buttons that are on the top backwards or
2:46
volume down forward or volume up play
2:49
pause power on and off the twws button
2:53
if you have more than one and want to
2:55
pair them the mode button I'll come back
2:58
to that in a second and the lighting
3:00
control now let's open up this little
3:03
Port so I can show you the different
3:05
plugs that are available and of course
3:07
it's covered because of that ipx5 rating
3:10
so when we look at that more closely aux
3:14
in a USB a port a wired microphone port
3:19
and a USBC for charging and I want to
3:23
say that you can plug in a microphone
3:27
and you can use this as a karaoke
3:29
machine so if you have karaoke music on
3:32
a device or on a USB flash drive then
3:35
you can use this as a little tiny
3:37
portable karaoke machine and it the mic
3:40
as far as I understand will actually it
3:42
mix in with any music you're listening
3:45
to but I do want to get back to modes
3:48
because by default it switches between
3:51
Bluetooth and FM radio and I'm not
3:53
kidding let's just push the
3:58
m and now listening to it's a little
4:02
loud let's turn it down a little bit but
4:05
this is FM radio this is just a local
4:07
classical station probably not what
4:10
you're going to listen to in your party
4:11
but I don't know maybe you have a more
4:13
sophisticated party and this is exactly
4:16
the kind of music you listen to but I
4:19
can switch back to Bluetooth which then
4:21
of course means I can go back to my
4:22
Bluetooth
4:23
source and play some more music there we
4:27
go
4:29
but it also has the ability to use that
4:33
usba a so you can plug in a flash drive
4:37
of music and that overrides whatever
4:40
mode you're in and it automatically
4:41
switches to that and then it will play
4:43
whatever music you have on that which is
4:45
great cuz you can preload a flash drive
4:48
with hundreds or thousands of songs and
4:52
then take this to wherever the heck
4:54
you're going to have your party to a
4:55
picnic table plug in the drive push the
4:58
power button and now you have hours of
5:01
great music of your own music how fun is
5:04
that right so gives you that FM radio
5:08
which also can be helpful I'm not often
5:10
listening to FM radio at this point in
5:12
time but it's an option and not much
5:16
else I can tell you about it it comes
5:17
with a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm wire and a usba
5:23
to USBC charging cable the company
5:27
recommends that you don't listen to it
5:29
while you're charging I haven't
5:31
experimented with that I have a feeling
5:33
you can if you want it just means that
5:35
the charging process will be slower but
5:38
you know can't guarantee that's going to
5:41
work but I can guarantee this is super
5:44
fun it does have a handle on the back it
5:46
is pretty hefty it's 15 1/2 in tall by 8
5:50
and 1/2 in around so it is a
5:53
substantial speaker and I just really
5:56
love these sort of devices because
5:58
there's many times that I'm outside
6:00
working on my car or doing gardening or
6:04
just hanging out with a bunch of friends
6:05
at a pool or something and to have
6:08
something like this where you just pull
6:09
up you pull this out you turn it on and
6:11
everyone's like dude that's so cool turn
6:14
the lights back on and of course when it
6:16
gets darker these RGB lights are really
6:19
fun too I particularly like the display
6:21
here in the middle but that's everything
6:24
I got I think this is a really cool
6:26
speaker oh also comes with instructions
6:29
interesting
6:30
the instructions are in Spanish and then
6:33
behind that is English so that gives you
6:35
a little hint of who they see is their
6:37
primary Target demographic but ain't
6:40
nothing wrong with that and I will tell
6:42
you if you're looking for a big powerful
6:44
outdoor speaker at an affordable price
6:47
this is a solid option I am going to ask
6:50

6:53

7:21
100 bucks under a 100 bucks this is
7:23

7:28
