Hercules have released their toughest, prettiest and best sounding device so far, complete with in-built FM tuner to bring music wherever you are without requiring a phone in their new WAE Outdoor 04Plus FM Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker.
WAE Outdoor speakers are explicitly designed to bring skiers and boarders and all sorts of sporting types the chance to easily play their music regardless of weather conditions as they’re designed to be ultra-durable and weather resistant as well as portable and easy to use.
The Hercules WAE Outdoor 04Plus FM Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker (RRP £69.99) has been designed, the company says, by listening to athletes and learning about their needs.
This latest result in this ongoing collaboration means better performance than ever before and a super-ergonomic design.
The new WAE Outdoor 04Plus FM is designed to eat anything you can throw at it for lunch: impacts, asphalt, rain, snow, dust – even mud?
Thanks to its IP67 certification, the WAE Outdoor 04Plus FM is also completely immersion-resistant (for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 3.3 feet/1 metre), and is fully protected against mud and even the finest dust particles.
With its rock-solid design, cushioning rubber end-pieces, protective metal grille and reinforced access hatch for its connectors, the speaker provides excellent resistance against impacts and all sorts of extreme conditions.
It’s also extremely lightweight (weighing in at just 0.66 pounds/300 grams) and when you’re not on the slopes the speaker also features a standard-size screw thread so it can be mounted on a bike mount, suction cup mount, tripod, and more.
Despite its compact size designed to accompany riders wherever they go, the new WAE Outdoor 04Plus FM pumps out clear and powerful stereo sound, specifically optimized for outdoor conditions – with wind and other distracting noises in mind. It incorporates a single-unit 2.0 speaker along with a passive decompression driver.
The speaker not only lets you stream music wirelessly from any Bluetooth-enabled device, but also listen to FM radio stations in places where you might not want to bring your smartphone along for the ride.
It also has a whopping 18 hours of battery life in FM radio mode and thanks to the custom WAE app, the WAE Outdoor 04Plus FM is truly a connected device: your streaming accounts are all plugged right in, preset radio stations are at your fingertips, and you can even set the speaker to power on at a given time and wake you up like an alarm clock.
