14 DAY TRIAL // If you're the kind of person who likes to go outdoor and on all sorts of trips, but feels that more than the sound of nature is needed in order to make things right, then the Active Trax is definitely the right tool for you. Active Trax is a portable music player, which operates on green energy and can be easily stowed away in any luggage, with a minimal impact on its size or weight. This nifty and eco-friendly piece of audio gadgetry is perfect for those who like to enjoy some of their favorite musing while they're away from home, in the mountains, and in pretty much any other place where they can't get their hand on a wall outlet.
The Active Trax is a compact-size mini amplifier suitable to your MP3 players, regardless of their make. If they come with a 3.5mm jack (and almost any player on the face of the Earth does), then you're set. Further on, there is more to the Active Trax than simply amplifying your MP3 player. This nifty gadget also comes with an integrated AM/FM/Weather radio, so you can keep in touch with your fav programs, music, or local news and forecast while you're away.
Active Trax gets its energy from the built-in rechargeable battery, and this battery can be charged in three ways: the first one is non-green, as it involves the classic AC adapter (completely useless while in the wild), then there's the solar panel embedded in the upper side of the player, and, finally, the recessed crank.
As you can see, the Active Trax is perfect for enjoying some music or radio in the wild. You just have to leave it under the sun all day and, thus, have its battery recharged for free. However, if the day is too cloudy or you happen to run out of power during the night, just grab the Active Trax, pull out the crank, and do some muscle work, as the speaker will come to life once more. A full charge will deliver up to 7 hours of playback. Too bad that the manufacturer hasn't specced recharging times on solar power or crank.
The Active Trax can be the perfect audio accessory for the persons keen on traveling, as long as they have some backup power for their MP3 players, of course. Moreover, the $39.95 price is great, especially as we're talking about green energy here. In black or white.
