hi
0:11
dave taylor here and this time i want to
0:13
talk about the seoul republic
0:15
punk speaker that's this guy and you can
0:17
see it's small
0:19
it actually has a sort of soft exterior
0:21
case which makes it water
0:23
and dust and shock resistant pretty nice
0:26
but
0:27
like any bluetooth speaker it's really
0:29
all about the sound
0:30
so let's give it a whirl
0:34
and make it nice and loud
0:37
and there's volume control on the side
0:45
and i realize you have this sort of
0:46
limitation of having to hear it through
0:48
the microphone i'm using to record with
0:50
but
0:51
trust me for a little speaker
0:54
it's putting out a lot of sound right
0:56
now
1:03
so pretty darn nice actually
1:07
comes in a bunch of different colors too
1:09
so if you're not so feel
1:10
so thrilled with the blue they have
1:12
black green
1:13
yellow red bunch of different colors and
1:16
i really like soul republic i have their
1:19
deck speaker and that's really my go-to
1:21
speaker when i travel it's about twice
1:23
the size of this
1:24
but it has a really nice voice interface
1:26
in fact i'll turn this off and it will
1:28
give me some feedback so i know that
1:31
it's turned off if i turn it on it'll
1:33
actually tell me
1:37
battery level so
1:40
let's see i think it's doing that to
1:43
tell me that it's ready to pair
1:46
or maybe that it has paired but usually
1:48
it'll come out and it'll just say
1:49
battery level and then tell you so
1:51
there's all this sort of vocal feedback
1:53
which i really like
1:54
because i really get tired of trying to
1:56
interpret the little flashing lights on
1:58
the side
1:59
other notable thing is it has a little
2:01
connector on the side so you charge it
2:03
with a micro usb
2:04
any old micro usb you could charge it in
2:06
the car on the way to the beach
2:08
it has audio in and audio out so that's
2:11
kind of cool because if you have a
2:12
different stereo or a big boombox
2:15
you could use this as a bluetooth
2:16
receiver so
2:18
it's 59.99 at seoulrepublic.com or at
2:22
amazon and we have full ah there we go
2:25
see it just took a little while to
2:26
try to figure out how much battery it
2:28
had so battery half full
2:30
um has eight hours of battery life runs
2:32
about 60 feet
2:33
wirelessly although i haven't actually
2:35
tested that that's pretty far
2:37
but that's nice too because you can have
2:39
your audio
2:40
source device safely ensconced in your
2:43
bag or in a zip lock or something and
2:45
then this can be
2:46
you know 20 30 feet away on a picnic
2:48
bench or on a blanket
2:49
so i really like it the soul republic
2:52
punk portable wireless bluetooth speaker
2:56
system
2:56
59 bucks seoulrepublic.com amazon.com
3:01
and it might be my new go go-to speaker
3:03
for when i travel so this is dave taylor
3:05
and i'll catch you in my next video
3:23
