Measuring 19.5×11.2×5cm (W×D×H), weighing 290g, and offering an impressive 2W x 2ch audio output, the speakers keep music lovers stuffed with 5 to 8 hours of sweet music, provided you play them on with fully charged batteries. When the sun is not there with its green ambiance, you can count on its USB terminals that connect to power sockets for much-needed succor. A stereo mini input is also there to let you connect iPods or other portable music gizmos.
