HydraJolt Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, Waterproof Portable Speakers with Built in Phone Charger and Lights, Everything Proof Outdoor, Shockproof, Snowproof, 16 Hours Playtime

This little hydrajolt speaker is awesome! It's lightweight, but very sturdy and durable. It's the perfect size to take kayaking and the built-in carabiner clip rocks. I can easily secure the speaker to my kayak with it, so I no longer have to worry about losing it. Even if it does fall out or my kayak flips over, there's no reason to fret because it's IP67 waterproof. I can attest that it truly is because I forgot to attach it to the kayak and I accidentally knocked it out. I freaked, but thank goodness it floats! What a lifesaver! I'm thrilled with the high quality sound that you get out of this compact little unit. It's crystal clear and the volume goes high enough that it can be heard from quite a ways away. It's got good range and keeps a good connection to my phone. The light function adds a little extra to the unit. There are 11 LED light modes that can change with the music. The battery life is fantastic. We can be out on the water all day without worrying about it dying. All of that stuff is really great, but my favorite thing is that it can be used as a powerbank to charge your phone. You don't know how many times that has saved my behind. I'm the worst about going out in the kayak and forgetting to fully charge my phone first. 😳😬 I'm impressed with the sturdiness, design, sound and functionality that this speaker overs. It's well worth buying.

Nice & durable & if you keep that hatch on the side of the speaker closed (where the charging ports are located), it will stay water resistant. The sound is good and it get pretty loud.

I happen to like the speaker a lot. Much better than the other Bluetooth speaker I own. Despite the size, brand, and listening to anything it’s really good. Even at full blast. While the size makes it easy to take anywhere, it does lack on bigger and more room filling surround sound. In real life resting the actual power watts is 12, not 50! Amazon needs to correct that typo. I know that because I own a sound-core speaker and it has the same output watts. The one thing I especially like is the colored lights. Very cool! Other than that, the speaker connects to any device easily and works well with anything. In real world testing, I have not spent an entire day listening to music per the job. With that being said, it does seem to have a solid battery life. No complaints here! As a consumer, I tend to take care of things that aren’t cheap and do my best to keep them in good condition no matter if it’s big, small, heavy or lightweight.

It a Bluetooth speaker! I’m not looking to test the ability to resist water but good to know it’s water resistant. Sounds good & fast delivery.

This speaker is awesome! My only complaint is I wish it was a tad bit louder. It’s a really well made speaker and it’s the perfect size to tote to the swimming pool and any other event you might need to go to.

When it works it has decent sound but you have to crank it to get it louder (not for a party but just to hear a podcast outside). It's very hard to turn on and pair. You really have to hold the buttons down. It does not keep anywhere near the advertised battery life - maybe 4-5 hours. I would not recommend. 3 stars only because it's study and does what it's supposed to do but really a 2 star. Spend a little bit more for a decent operation and sound.

Love it. Sounds great!

The speaker itself seems to be okay. Sound quality is decent for a small, portable speaker. After fully charging before the first use, the battery has lasted well and hasn't been recharged for a few days. It has been used with a laptop to watch shows and I don't know how many hours of actual use it has gotten, but we have no complaints there. Unfortunately, this speaker did not work with Windows 10. The sound would intermittently cut out. Many attempts at troubleshooting were tried with no success in resolving this issue. The drivers are automatically installed for windows and Altec Lansing does not publicly offer any drivers for the device. I called them and explained the situation and they did not have any suggestions other than to contact Microsoft. I really don't expect Microsoft is going to do anything about it and I suggest that Altec Lansing contacts Microsoft to work with them on supporting their device. I don't think the end consumer has any place trying to develop Microsoft support for an Altec Lansing, guys. If you wish to hire me to mediate communication between you two, please feel free to reach out. In the meantime, the device works as expected on Ubuntu 22.04. Unfortunately, the proprietary DRM implemented by streaming services does not support devices running linux very well. So now we have working speakers and video that intermittently drops because we have to use this operating system for the speaker to work while streaming. Which was the reason the speaker was purchased to begin with. This whole experience could serve as a case study as to how proprietary software ultimately screws the consumer at the cost of your own time and money. I don't care if it is the fault of Microsoft or Altect Lansing. That's between you to figure out. Based in the time troubleshooting to no avail and the cost of the item, I really can't recommend purchasing if you intend to use this with a Windows machine. This issue does not seem to be linkted to Windows, but it is also a problem for Ubuntu devices. I don't recommend purchasing.

Brilliant, clear sound no connection issues

WORKS GREAT, DELIVER IMPRESSIVE AUDIO QUALITY, SOUNDS BIGGER THAN IT IS.... The sound quality is where this speaker truly shines. The clarity of the audio is exceptional, with crisp highs and a well-defined midrange that brings out the best in vocals and instruments. The bass is deep and powerful without being overwhelming, providing a balanced listening experience whether you're enjoying music, movies, or podcasts. One of the standout features is its connectivity options. It seamlessly pairs with my devices via Bluetooth, and I love the convenience of having multiple input options. Overall, this produt has exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend.

Bought the speaker in November for my classroom as I’m a primary teacher. It stopped working or holding charge 7 months later in June.
