Eton’s Soulra XL solar-powered iPod boombox will cost $300, now ready for your pre-orders

Summer’s nearly here, the sun shining bright — wouldn’t you like to share your tunes with friends with friends while basking in the light? That’s what Eton’s counting on as it prepares to ship the Soulra XL, the solar-powered iPod boombox formerly known as the Soulra 2 . As we discovered at CES in January, its set of eight speakers get pretty loud, and Eton claims it charges twice as fast as its predecessor (five hours) thanks to a sizable monocrystal solar panel, and lasts five hours on a charge. It’ll juice your phone, too. All told, you’ll be schlepping around seven pounds and paying $300 for the privilege of completely cordless mobile sound. Sound like a deal to you? You’ll find Eton ready to shake your hand at our source link.
