2 . BOSE SOUNDLINK MICRO BLUETOOTH SPEAKER
There are hundreds of Bluetooth speakers on the market but , if you want one that provides exceptional sound quality , then Bose is one brand you will want to look at .
The Soundlink Micro is the baby of the range but it packs in a lot of features . The battery will last around six hours , you can use it for Google and Siri searches , it ’ s a hands-free speaker phone and it ’ s waterproof to IPX 7 rating .
The sound quality is exceptional given its small size , and it ’ s USB-rechargeable .
Available in three colours , it retails for $ 150 but shop around as you can pick it up for less at any one of a number of discount hi-fi retailers .
Some metallic finds , thanks to the Minelab Equinox 800 .
3 . MINELAB EQUINOX 800 METAL DETECTOR
I ’ d always considered taking a metal detector with us on our travels but was put off by their
bulk and high price tag .
Two years ago , Minelab , a name synonymous with quality metal detectors , introduced the Equinox range to the market . These use multifrequency technology and specific detect modes to perform in a variety of environments .
The user interface makes metal detecting simple , and the internal battery , which is USBrechargeable , lasts for up to 12 hours .
The 800 is the top of the Equinox range and is recognised as one of the best all-round metal detectors on the market . I ’ ve been using one for the last two years and it ’ s incredible how much I ’ ve found using it . Priced around $ 1245 , it ’ s an investment that could really pay off one day .
