Reviews on other websites at the 130 dollar MSRP are not favorable. Quite a few said it was dead on arrival, or died within a few days. But maybe since these have been used and refurbished, they will be more likely to be functional on arrival.

The rest of the reviews state battery life is about 2~5 hours instead of the advertised 20.

Mine finally arrived, immediately plugged it into a 12 watt USB A charger and took a nap while it charged. It refused to charge at all from a Type C charger. The red power light eventually goes white when it's full. It is not as loud as it's size would imply, but it's still pretty good for 30 bucks.

It does indeed change from true stereo to mixed depending on orientation. The switch takes about 3 seconds after it's moved, and is indicated by a rainbow RGB flash around the edge of the speaker grills. The audio does not cut out, it instantly swaps left and right channels between one of the two pairs of speakers.

Using the wireless charging pad immediately lowers the volume to 50 percent if it was higher, and refuses to go higher until the device being charged is removed, just like the instructions say.

I'll have to see how long the battery lasts at full blast, but it definitely exceeded 2 hours playing an audiobook and some light music at medium volume. Haven't needed to recharge it yet

Can anyone comment on how "Coco Jamboo" by Mr. President sounds on this speaker?

Gonna bite the bullet. I have the hydrashocks and like them but the are a little bulky and have a DC charger. Want something similar but a bit smaller and USB-C. This seems to fit that bill but the bad reviews give me pause.

I bought the Shockwave, Hydraboom and Hydrajolt. The Hydraboom is the only one I had issues with. It seemed to work fine but as soon as you touched it while playing, it would die and only come back on after charging. Only took like a day to email them and have them send a Rockbox to replace it so no headaches there.

Bought this a few weeks back from warehouse b.

First time ever using the site.

I've used it camping since and outside, mine was up to par for altec. Everything works well. Just ended up making a handle for it out of paracord. (Thanks youtube)

I got two. One from a deal here and one from the real store, both seem to be working great the charge might not be as a new device but it works and my kids use them to charge phones.

The site says everything they sell comes with a 1 year warranty worst case you send it back

I used coupon code 2-MANY-EMAILS for $5 off my order. I ordered 2 for $53 so not sure if there is a minimum order amount needed for code to work.

It's a glitch from one of the service companies that SD uses. The devs are working on it and will try to get it fixed or get that service company to fix it ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience Frown

In the meantime, if you click the 'Ignore & proceed' link, that'll let you through just fine and the site should work as usual until you clear cookies etc.

I got this a couple weeks ago when it was posted last. It's replacing a jbl charge (whatever charge model was current in 2017) which only holds ~30 mins of charge now. The hydroboom is much bigger of course, but the sound is considerably worse. Mine does hold at least 10 hours of charge, my kids like the lights, and it is functional, so we're keeping it.
