The beauty of modern technology is the ability to leave your home without having to leave behind your beloved electronic treasures. While electronics of the past were big and bulky, they substantially shrunk during the past few decades, which makes bringing tools and gadgets along on a vacation as easily as packing toiletries.

With apps like Spotify, your favorite music is never too far away, either, and Bluetooth speakers have stepped up their game in terms of portable music-listening capabilities. Altec Lansing sells a small wireless speaker that lets travelers of all styles and interests listen to their favorite tunes no matter where they are or what they are doing.

With a battery life of nearly 16 hours, charging the speaker before heading out on an excursion will ensure hours of listening to the soundtrack of your travels. The speaker offers an incredible listening range of 100 feet.

What sets the LifeJacket line of speakers apart from the rest of Altec Lansing’s products is its durability and weatherproof construction, which makes it a formidable companion for all climates and terrains, including a day out on the boat thanks to its ability to float!

Altec Lansing offers three different versions of the LifeJacket speakers (models 1, 2 and 3), but the mini 3 costs just $99.99 and is easily toted from one place to the next at only one pound and dimensions of 6.5 inches by 2 inches by 2.5 inches.
