OUTDOOR CHILLING vol.1
I thought about this and that about the outer chill.

For the past few months, I have been staying in my room and doing nothing but lazing around, but now that it is so nice outside, I feel like going to the park and lazing around in the sunlight. I called such a time "outside chill," and went looking for food to eat, clothes to wear, books to read, tools to use, and so on. Spring is great, by the way, because it takes us outside.

A big boombox may be nice, like a classic B-Boy, but today there are a variety of convenient speakers. Among them, wireless speakers with straps that are designed to be taken outdoors are ideal for outside chill. The key word when choosing one is "IP67. IP67 means that the speaker is completely dustproof and water cannot penetrate the inside of the speaker even if it is immersed in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. IP67" means that even if the speaker is exposed to some wind and rain, there will be no problem.

. sound, look, and sturdiness.

Bang & Olufsen has released the "Beosound Explore" from Bang & Olufsen. The aluminum gives it a luxurious feel and it looks delicate, but this product is of course IP67 rated. It is designed to withstand shocks, so even if you drop it, you don't have to worry. Some people who drive classic cars that do not have a stereo are using this in place of a stereo. Even the most discerning users will enjoy the high-quality sound.

This is the American size.

JBL's one is a bit big . . It is a little bit big, but it produces a powerful sound. The bass is also thumping. The battery, which allows up to 24 hours of wireless playback, is another attraction. And the fuselage is equipped with a USB Type-C port on the body, which can be used as a mobile battery for charging smartphones, tablets, and other devices. This versatility is typical of recent JBL products.
