For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with Braven to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win one of the company's BRV-1 outdoor speakers. The BRV-1 is a rugged speaker that's ideal for outdoor use at the beach, the pool, hiking, or anywhere else.

It's light weight and compact at 4.75 x 3.25 x 2.25 inches, able to fit in the palm of a hand, and its shockproof exterior keeps it safe from drops and dings. It has an IPX7 waterproof rating, so it's going to survive rain and splashes. It can be fully submersed in water up to a meter deep for 30 minutes.

The BRV-1's battery will last for 12 hours of continuous audio play and it comes equipped with a 1,400 mAh powerbank that can give an iPhone or iPad a little more juice. There's a built-in noise-canceling microphone and speakerphone and it has a 33 foot wireless range when connected to an iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth.


Braven's BRV-1 is available from the Braven website for $99, but two MacRumors readers will be able to win one of the speakers through our giveaway. To enter to win, use the Rafflecopter widget below and enter an email address. Email addresses will be used solely for contact purposes to reach the winner and send the prize.

You can earn additional entries by subscribing to our weekly newsletter, subscribing to our YouTube channel, following us on Twitter, or visiting the MacRumors Facebook page. Due to the complexities of international laws regarding giveaways, only U.S. residents who are 18 years of age or older are eligible to enter.

The contest will run from today (December 4) at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time through 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time on December 11. The winners will be chosen randomly on December 11 and will be contacted by email. The winners have 48 hours to respond and provide a shipping address before new winners are chosen. The prizes will be shipped to the winners for free.
