Is the HydraMini actually waterproof?

Yes. It carries an IP67 rating, which means it is dust-tight and can be submerged in about a meter of water for up to 30 minutes. It floats in most cases, but dry the USB-C port before charging.

Can I pair two HydraMinis for stereo sound?

Yes. True Wireless Pairing links two HydraMini units into a left-right stereo pair. Both speakers must be the same model, and you pair them once, then reconnect automatically.

How does it compare with a JBL Clip or Go?

The HydraMini matches the Clip's IP67 toughness and light weight but has a smaller single driver, so bass and max volume trail the JBL Go 4. It wins on simplicity and often on value, not on sound quality.

Does it have an app or voice assistant?

No. There is no companion app, EQ or assistant support. Controls are physical buttons on the speaker, and pairing is done through your phone's Bluetooth settings.

What comes in the box?

The speaker, a USB-C charging cable and a quick-start guide. No wall adapter is included, and there is no carry pouch or strap in the box.

How long does the battery last?

Altec Lansing rates it for several hours of playback at moderate volume. Expect less at full volume, and charge it over USB-C when the low-battery tone sounds.
