Title: Rooms with sound systems and aux jacks/b tooth
Post by: fortbethel on Sep 03, 2014, 12:53 AM
Does anyone remember? I stayed in the economy suite and didn't see a set up. Wondering if premium rooms had this amenity.

Was one of my issues last year. We paid for a junior suite with a rooftop balcony and I SWEAR when we booked out room it indicated we would have a dock to plug in our ipod. I didn't bring anything other than out ipods and was very disappointed when I couldn't listen to music in our room. It's the Hard Rock for crying out loud!!!!

Now that I think of it they might b concerned about people blasting music at four am and waking people but even then they could limit the volume control. Thanks for the feedback.

Good sound with a decent range?

For a single Bluetooth speaker, I'm fairly impressed. Sounds good for $20, and its about the size of a peach. Haven't pushed the range, but have run it off my phone in another room. Gives about 4 hours per charge. I was visiting a friend this summer and we played music through it all weekend. Bought mine from Amazon during that visit. Currently unavailable on Amazon, so I included the Newegg link.

This is the one I bought. I know, $200, but it is almost as good as my full sized Polk Audio with a subwoofer. One of the single greatest purchases I have ever made.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I need one of these. I'll probably choose the cheaper option for traveling, esp considering a smaller size. I gotta be conservative in my packing as I'm traveling with 3 kids which is NEVER easy. Big reason i embrace all you can drink  :beer:

I just wanted to second what Rincon2 said about the Bose mini.  It. is. AMAZING!!  Check out the Amazon reviews.  I got one last year for the Holidays and I love it.  I use it almost everyday:home, yard, tail gating, traveling, work, etc.  It's expensive at $200, but it's well worth it to me to be able to get my MMJ fix anywhere with superior sound. 

Funny, because it's the second thing on my OBH packing list (First=passport  :thumbsup:).  And yes, I already have a packing list  :cool:

Don't worry about it being too big to pack.  It's surprisingly small (still talking about the speaker here folks :wink:).  I attached a picture next to a dollar to show the actual size. 

Johnny Yac, as always, also had some great advice and that system looks good as well.  Just wanted to chime in since there are few products I love like this little dude.

Couple options on Woot today, I have always had good luck with them and used a unit off here last year at OBH.

RIncon, my girlfriends radio went out in her car and I bought the exact same thing...one of the best decisions in my life...it sounds great at home and even more amazing in the car
