Ah, summertime. It’s almost here.

You want to get out of the house and lounge by the pool, or sit on the stoop, or tan at the lake, or maybe listen to Skynyrd at the cement pond. But the stereo’s too heavy to carry that far. What to do?

Here’s what to do. Grab one of these portable iPax speakers and you enjoy your iPod shuffle (not included). The Maxxbass bass will gives you the bassyist bass this side of Shirley Bassey’s bass player. And while you listen, your iPod shuffle will be charging itself off the four AA batteries (also not included) or the AC adapter (included, but only begrudgingly).

With a 3.5mm audio input, the iPax also works with other players, like maybe, oh, let’s just say… a Sansa! It won’t charge it, but it’ll still let you enjoy the sound. But where are you going to find a Sansa these days? You think a whole bunch are just going to appear out of nowhere? From some website? You’d have to be nuts to think that.

Enjoy good sound without having to sweat in your headphones. Fill the ol’ iPod with tunes, put on the swimsuit, and enjoy the iPax as it was meant to be enjoyed… loudly!
