Abstract

A portable Bluetooth stereo speaker including a rechargeable battery coupled to power the Bluetooth stereo speaker, a solar panel coupled to the rechargeable battery for recharging the battery when the solar panel is exposed to sunlight, a capacitive touch panel coupled to the Bluetooth stereo speaker for controlling music, skip track or volume, and a Bluetooth phone or MP3 player wirelessly coupled to send their music to the stereo speaker. A power boost function is coupled to the Bluetooth stereo speaker which turns on automatically to supply extra power to the speakers for louder, clearer sound playback when connected to an external charger.

Claims

1. A portable Bluetooth stereo speaker comprising:
