Another glitchy Altec Lansing speaker. Don't buy 2
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off, I've had several Altec Lansing speakers over the past few years and most have been anywhere from flawed to junk. Xpedition 4 would shut itself off all the time. Returned it and got another one, same deal. Street Shock speaker wouldn't turn on when first switched on, then would come on like 10 minutes later. After a while it just pops when turned on and never actually turned on. Altec Lansing just makes very low quality products, but tries to charge premium prices. After this HydraMini issue, I believe I'm done giving Altec Lansing more chances to prove themselves. They just make lousy Bluetooth speakers. The issue with the HydraMini is with the TWS linking using two speakers. One speaker works fine by itself. Sure, battery life is really bad, particularly with lights on. Not much bass from this speaker, but then again it is small and you really shouldn't expect something this size to have much bass. It's when you link two speakers together that the real problem arises. Linking two Hydramini speakers was simple enough using the steps instructed. Problem is after a little while playing they will start to get out of sync and sound like an echo. After it gets worse the speakers will like briefly pause, then are back in sync. Or sometimes the sound will just start cutting out for a little bit, then will quickly pause and then be back to normal. And sometimes they will just do a quick pause while playing for no apparent reason. I switched to use the blue speaker as the main speaker to see if it would make any difference compared to when I had the black speakers as the primary speaker, but still the same issue. Sorry, but this is the last straw for Altec Lansing. I've given this company more chances than they deserve to prove they have changed, but they haven't. Bye, Felicia.

Bluetooth speaker Altec
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had read good reviews for this but I am not impressed, at all! I finally got around to using it this last weekend. It charged all day and when I went to use it, it oly played for an hour. I tried letting it charge again and then leaving it plugged in to play, that was a no go. Charged again for hours the and it only played 30 minutes. I am not happy with this at all esp now that I pass the return window. Thankfully it was on sale and and had a $10 certificate so I am only out 6 bucks

Didn't even last 2 weeks
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality was perfect for my desk for listening to the news. Unfortunately, the device died 9 days after I got it. I hope Best Buy will give me an exchange. Next time I will stick with a bigger name brand.

Worse battery
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the hydraJolt RYB and I’m very happy with it. My daughter was constantly taking it from me so I decided to buy her the mini speaker. The sound is good but doesn’t hold a charge at all. You might get 10 min without having to recharge it . I was afraid I would lose my $20 in rewards so that’s the only reason why I didn’t return it.

True Wireless Pairing Does Not Work
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a second HydraMini Everything so I could connect two speakers to each other withe the True Wireless Pairing method. It does not work. I went through the instructions several times: 1. Power on speaker 1 and paired it to my phone 2. Power on speaker 2, pressed the pairing button and it flashes green 3. On speaker 1 press pairing button and hold it for 2-3 seconds, it flashes green but never connects and goes solid green, it just keeps flashing green nonstop I did a reset on both speakers, no change. I give up. I plan to return both and be done with Altec Lansing.

Recommend not too
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recommend not buying this speaker even for the low price. It doesn't stay charged or stay connected and sound is what you pay for.

Don’t bother
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unless it is literally sitting on my phone it garbles. When it’s playing it just arbitrarily shuts off. Sound is tinny but I expected that from its size. I hate that it doesn’t even do an ok job since it just turns off every few minutes regardless of the charge. All this started just after the return window closed.

POOR QUALITY
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Poor volume quality, low sound even on highest level and movies play very low. Battery life sucks, it’s not up to 6 hours months like up to 3 hours and the range is not very far. You’re basically paying for the lights not the sound.

Would not purchase from this brand again
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stopped working after about 8 hours. I tried to give it 0 stars, but unable to post until I gave it one star. Unable to rate the battery life since it didn't even work while plugged in after that time.

Bad volume, to low
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker looked just like the older one I had so I bought a new one thinking it was just like the old one. This new speaker had a low volume and was hard to hear. Junk! Not like the old one!

Altec use to be better
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want a Bluetooth speaker with annoying flashing lights (can't just turn them off) with short battery life then this is the one for you. And now it's too late to return :(

Not recommended
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sounded bad. I ended up taking the speaker back because at high values, the music distorted and the base sounds so muffled. I returned this one and got a different brand.
