ION PATHFINDER SPEAKER

What we found

This is an ION Pathfinder, a portable battery-powered Bluetooth speaker from the company's outdoor line. Speakers in this family are box-shaped units with a carry handle, a rechargeable internal battery, a woofer plus tweeters behind a front grille, and a top or front control panel for volume, source and lights. They recharge from an AC power cable and then run unplugged, and most versions in the range add water resistance, an FM radio, a microphone or aux input, and multi-colour LEDs that pulse with the music. It is meant for patios, garages, tailgates and parties where you want sound away from an outlet rather than a shelf speaker for a living room. Sizes vary across the Pathfinder line, so measure the unit in person if you need it to fit a specific spot or vehicle.
