Best Audio for Outdoor Activities in New Zealand: The Ultimate Guide

New Zealand: the land of breathtaking landscapes, adrenaline-pumping thrills, and unforgettable adventures. From the lush hiking trails of Auckland's Waitakere Ranges to the heart-stopping mountain biking paths near Queenstown, and the serene fishing spots in the Bay of Islands, this is a country that begs to be explored.

But here's the thing: what's an adventure without an epic soundtrack? JBL's range of outdoor speakers is built to fuel your passions, providing durable, high-quality audio that keeps pace with your active lifestyle.

Tramping in New Zealand's Southern Alps

Embrace the legendary tramping culture of New Zealand and hit the trails with confidence. Think epic trails winding through breathtaking scenery, from snow-capped mountains to lush forests. Whether you're tackling the iconic Milford Track or blazing your own trail in the Southern Alps, you need a soundtrack that can keep up.

Clip on and conquer with the JBL Clip 5. Pack this pocket-sized powerhouse with your gear and let it deliver surprisingly big JBL Pro Sound in a rugged, waterproof package. With up to 12 hours of playtime, the Clip 5 will fuel your adventures from sunrise to sunset. Attach it to your backpack, belt loop, or tent, and let the music move you as you explore the breathtaking beauty of New Zealand's wilderness.

Mountain Biking Across New Zealand's Rugged Terrains

New Zealand is a mountain biker's paradise, with trails ranging from the flowing hills of Rotorua to the challenging downhill tracks near Queenstown. But before you hit those epic trails, make sure you've got the right gear. We're talking about more than just your bike and helmet — your soundtrack matters, too. The right music can keep you pumped and focused, pushing you to conquer every climb and navigate every turn.

That's where the JBL Go 4 comes in. This compact and durable speaker is the perfect riding buddy. It's surprisingly powerful, delivering crystal-clear audio that cuts through the wind and keeps you energised, even on the toughest trails. And with its IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, the Go 4 laughs in the face of mud, rain, and whatever else the trail throws its way. So crank the volume, feel the adrenaline, and let the music fuel your ride.

Camping Under the Stars in New Zealand

New Zealand's diverse camping experiences beckon, from the pristine beaches of Abel Tasman National Park to the secluded campsites in Fiordland. But before you venture into the wilderness, make sure you've packed the essentials — the right gear can elevate your outdoor camping experience from ordinary to extraordinary.

Of course, a reliable source of light is crucial, and a cosy campfire is always a welcome addition. But don't underestimate the power of music to set the mood and create lasting memories.
