An awesome way to listen to music while
gardening

The thing
about Home Depot is that you know what
you are going in for, but you don’t know
with what you will come out. Case in
point – I went in for an attachment for
my Ryobi Expand-it™ Gas Power Head
(future review) and came out with an
Acoustic Research Portable Wireless
Speaker AWS53.
I was walking around our
local HD store when I saw a display of
these speakers. They had one out, hooked
& powered up. So… I took my iPhone out
of my pocket and plugged it in to hear
what the AWS53 sounded like. Wow! Not
too bad. Sometimes when I am doing yard
work I like to listen to something other
than the voices in my head so I power-up
my iPhone and plug in my ear buds. But
sometimes the phone in a pocket, the
wires hanging down and the buds in the
ears can be uncomfortable when pulling
weeds or doing other gardening
activities. Ta-da! That’s where the
Acoustic Research Portable Wireless
Speaker AWS53 comes in.
The AWS53
offers two ways to connect to music;
first there is a 900MHz wireless
transmitter which broadcasts 150ft from
an audio source (like a shelf stereo, AV
system, personal computer or other
device with an earphone out option).
Second, the speaker has a built-in 3.5mm
jack that offers a convenient connection
option to use almost anywhere. It is as
easy as connecting an MP3 player, smartphone or other device with an
earphone out option to the speaker.
The Acoustic Research
Portable Wireless Speaker AWS53 is great
for outdoor entertaining with crystal
clear high quality wireless audio (with
bass boost). Purchase one speaker and
the default play mode is monaural.
Purchase two of them and with the
transmitter one speaker can be set to
play the right channel while the other
speaker plays the left channel and now
the music plays in stereo!
