Coupon worked for me, $15 total with shipping. Wanted a waterproof speaker for the shower and this seems like a decent option for the $$.

It's not; I did WarehouseB's $18 deal and am really enjoying mine, which has been like new. It's reliable, at least from my one data point!

The scam is actually the lack of quality control and piss-poor build quality of Altec Lansing's modern day audio products unfortunately. I know several people who have purchased Altec Lansing bluetooth speakers over the last few years that did not work out of the box. Most recently, last week actually, had a coworker who bought a HydraMotion that would light up and pair no problem but would not play back audio. I opened it up to find one of the amplifier capacitors dangling by a thread off the bottom of the board. That'll do it lol.

I read some reviews about the HydraMotion, as well as this HydraJolt model, that also claim to have received DOA speakers, likely with similar build issues. The most basic level of QC would have uncovered a bluetooth speaker that has speakers that don't work at all lol. I'd go the extra couple bucks and spring for an equivalent JBL model personally, but to each his own.

So the price reflects the true value...paperweight.

Thanks for the insights. Hard pass even at this price. I don't have the time for bullshit.

And why are the words Free Shipping in the coupon code if there's no free shipping??

Edit: Guess you can get 5 with the $25 free shipping limit, (sarcasm intended) still doesn't explain why the code itself includes that if it's not going to give you free shipping if applied.

Actually the coupon is only good for a single unit too.

I bought one when they were $18. It worked great until we went to charge and the USB-C port wouldn't work. If it charged, it would've been a good deal, but unfortunately mine only worked until it died the first time.

The $10 shipping killed the deal.

Hi, WarehouseB checking in here!

We are the factory refurbisher for Altec Lansing. Our team of techs clean and test every speaker before they go out the door to make sure this does not happen. And in the rare occasion that is does, we offer a 1 year warranty on every refurbished item we sell so you don't need to be worried about being stuck with a dead speaker. If you have any questions about our warranty, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].

Have a great day!

Yeah it's too bad too. I had a set of ATP-3 computer speakers as a kid (late 90s) on my first PC build that sounded amazing and to this day my stepfather STILL uses them on his computer and they work perfectly. Altec Lansing doesn't make products like that anymore sadly.

The refurb Altec Lansing I got seems to work well but holds a charge for about 10 minutes. It's pretty worthless.
