You know what kids really love? They love it when they ask you to buy them something, and you cheap out and buy them a kids’ version, a cut-price imitation of the original. Oh yeah. They totally dig that.
And you know what else they love? Garish colors. “Cool” names. And extra-long battery life. Wait, they actually do like that last one…
The JLab Crasher has it all. It’s an aluminum Jambox clone with a $100 price-tag, a range of truly hideous color options, and a “cool” name. Thankfully, it also comes in black or plain aluminum, and packs a battery big enough to keep it going for up to 18 hours.
Actually, it actually sounds pretty good. Here’s the lowdown (that’s what kids call a “spec list.” Probably):
- Rugged Metal Body
- 2 Drivers & Rear Passive Subwoofer
- 90dB Volume Max
- Full Size USB Port
- Speaker Phone with Mic
- 1500mAh Battery, 18 hours (Medium Volume)
- BT2.1 30ft Range
- Aux Connection
That full-sized USB port can – like the Braven 650 speaker – charge your device.
So it seems that I have gone from sneering snark to admiration in the length of a short blog post. One of these would look pretty neat cable-tied to my bike.
