About the Etón Rukus Solar
Bring your tunes outdoors and into the light with the Etón Rukus. Not only is it a great wireless portable speaker system, but it's also solar-powered. So the longer it's out soaking up the sun, the longer it plays. The Rukus sports a black and white E Ink® text display that won't wash out in bright sunlight.
Fast charging, long playback
The Rukus can completely recharge its built-in battery in about six hours, depending on available sunlight. Can't wait that long? Its AC adapter will do the job twice as fast (and keep the Rukus powered up and playing at the same time). Speaking of power, the Rukus features a USB charging port so you can recharge your smartphone or other portable even when the Rukus is running on battery power.
Simple Bluetooth connectivity
It's easy to pair the Rukus with just about any compatible Bluetooth device. So whether your music's on a smartphone, PDA, tablet, laptop or portable player, you can stream audio straight to the system. And remember you're not limited just to the songs stored on your device. You can enjoy audio from any app or Internet source you can access. MOG, Pandora® Internet radio, Spotify, YouTube if you can hear it on your player, you'll hear it through this speaker system.
Great sound all around
And the Rukus doesn't skimp on sound quality. Two beefy full-range speakers pump out full, clear sound. Selectable bass boost can give your music some extra oomph if you want it.
Made for travel
The Rukus was designed for convenient portability. Just grab the system by its integrated handle and go. An elastic pouch built into the back securely holds your smartphone or portable player.

Sounds good the only thing every time I power it on I have to plug the adaptor. Is that normal??? Otherwise a lot of good features and I like the solar getting power from the SUN. Color green is a good color too.
