Best Solar Power Bluetooth Speaker

The Solar Sound 2 is a fully featured portable speaker system that doubles up as a Bluetooth hands-free device. It is equipped with a rechargable battery that delivers up to ten hours of playback over Bluetooth, and can also be charged via solar power.

The solar panel encompasses the entire top side of the cuboidshaped device, but in spite of its size its effectiveness is still very much dependent on whereabouts in the world you are trying to use it and how much sunlight is available. Reasonable results can be had by charging it from the mains initially in the knowledge that the solar panel will keep it topped up when you are outdoors. Eventually, though, you will need to resort to the mains again.

The device is designed mainly for use with Bluetooth devices, but it also features a line-in port if you’re using a non-Bluetooth device. There’s a speaker at each end of the unit that emits a satisfyingly loud stereo sound, and the audio quality is pretty good for a device of this size. Touch screen panels on the front of the unit enable you to easily skip through tracks, while a Bluetooth connection with a phone also turns the device into a hands-free speaker system.

Solar Sound 2 is not cheap for what is on offer – if it is the solar panel that adds to the price, we would ultimately have preferred a non-solar version instead. The build quality and design of the Devotec Solar Sound 2 is satisfactory; the device is fully plastic, but comes with a protective case to keep it secure should you choose to pack it when you’re travelling.
