Ruggedly Sleek: Yamaha PDX-11 portable iPod speaker system

We’re big fans of music here at Digital Trends, but we’re not always chained to our desks — so with that being said, we know there are times when headphones simply won’t do and the need for rocking out while on-the-go is pressing. Living the digital lifestyle isn’t always easy, but thanks to the Yamaha PDX-11 Portable Speaker System, it just got a little easier.

For your portable speaker needs, the Yamaha PDX-11 is an easy-to-carry powerful speaker system that allows you to enjoy your music library on the go. It features a unique two-way speaker system and large four-inch woofer that packs strong bass and striking mid-range audio clarity, in addition to a dedicated tweeter for higher frequencies.

The PDX-11 is available in four colors and brings with it a style that is not only portable, but manages to look rugged while maintaining elegance in its design, which comes as a surprise given its toughness. The PDX-11 features an octagonal-shaped body with a handle that adorns the top of the speaker, right behind the dock where your iPhone or iPod would rest, making it easy to carry. Just plug and play or use batteries to take the PDX-11 practically anywhere; there is even a remote for increased functionality.

The best waterproof cases for the iPhone 11 Pro
iPhone 11 Pro Back

The Apple iPhone 11 Pro is the smallest of the iPhone 11 range, but don't underestimate it. The iPhone 11 Pro is equipped with a powerful A13 Bionic processor, and the tech underlying the 5.8-inch Super Retina XDR OLED is just as impressive as its larger brethren. The stainless steel frame is just as strong as the iPhone 11 Pro Max, and it comes with an IP68-rating for dust and water resistance. It's an impressive package for sure, but like everything, it has its limits.

The IP68 rating allows the iPhone 11 Pro to be fully immersed in fresh water and survive to tell the tale, but only for 30 minutes and up to 4 meters deep. While that might insulate it against slips into the pool or the bath, you're still going to want stronger protection if your iPhone is going to be immersed for longer. That's where waterproof cases come in, adding extra waterproofing to make sure your phone is able to survive. We've covered the best iPhone 11 Pro cases before, but the cases on this list don't just protect against bumps and scratches, they extend or reinforce the iPhone's water resistance. These are the best waterproof cases for the iPhone 11 Pro around right now.

The best iPhone 11 Pro screen protectors

The iPhone 11 Pro is a powerful mobile device for anyone who wants a smaller phone, and this model is still sought after despite being the last generation. Smaller than the iPhone 11 and the super-sized iPhone 11 Pro Max, the iPhone 11 Pro has a powerful Apple A13 processor, a triple-lens camera, and excellent battery life. Every last bit of this handset experience goes through its 5.8-inch screen. The Super Retina XDR AMOLED display is a stunning sight to behold, but it won't remain so if it takes a tumble and shatters or gathers a collection of ugly scratches and oily fingerprints. Keep it protected with one of the best iPhone 11 Pro screen protectors we cover below.
