Indestructible Music Players

The Astell & Kern AK JR Portable Audio Device Has an Aluminum Build

For consumers that enjoy to listen to music while on-the-go but are seeking a durable system, the Astell & Kern AK Jr Hi-Res Music Player is a high-quality portable audio device with a metal build. The sound system is slender and small with a rectangular shape constructed out of aluminum with a long-lasting and hard-wearing design.

While portable music devices are convenient for listening during commutes or physical activity, often times the devices are fragile and made out of delicate material such as glass. The AK Jr provides a well-engineered playing system with an integrated touchscreen complete with wireless Bluetooth capability and an aluminum outer shell. The metal keeps the device protected and secure while providing a durable grip. The player also supports a variety of audio files from MP3 to FLAC.
