NEW YORK, July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Altec Lansing, the leading global audio electronics company, today announces the official launch of its Hydra 2.0 portable speaker lineup with products now hitting store shelves at major retailers across the U.S.
Known for their exceptional sound and unmatched durability, Altec Lansing's Hydra 2.0 portable speaker lineup delivers life-like sound to fit people's every need.
Making its debut during CES 2024, the Hydra 2.0 series "EVERYTHINGPROOF" technology reaches new heights. The new mount it, clip it, stick it capabilities are versatile for on-the-go music lovers. Select Hydra 2.0 portable speakers feature a built-in magnet that allows users to stick them to metal surfaces – perfect for a golf cart or ATV. The speakers also include a carabiner clip that can connect to a backpack during hikes, mount-ability for bikes and a bungee cord option for the back of a truck tailgate at the big game. These features now pair well with the rugged DNA of the brand with its continued sand, dust and waterproof ability to enjoy tunes wherever people want, solidifying the speaker's position as the ideal choice for everyday use, regardless of lifestyle.
The Hydra 2.0 series is now hitting store shelves at large retailers such as Walmart, Target, Sam's Club, Staples and Best Buy, as well as on Amazon. The lineup will also be rolling out at other major retailers in the coming weeks.
"The next-gen Hydra 2.0 lineup delivers life-like audio to listeners of all ages and any lifestyle, bringing the historic Altec Lansing brand to the forefront of audio technology," said Ike S. Franco, Founder and CEO of Infinity Brands, the parent company of Altec Lansing. "For almost a century Altec Lansing has been a pioneer in the industry, helping bring iconic events like Woodstock and the Beatles 'Abbey Road' to life. Our commitment to innovation remains steadfast, and the release of the Hydra 2.0 technology shows our drive to deliver a diverse lineup of portable Bluetooth speakers, headphones, earbuds, party speakers and more."
The Hydra 2.0 series is the next generation of a versatile and rugged line of speakers designed for ultimate convenience. Like its predecessors, this lineup is EVERYTHINGPROOF, meaning the speakers are shockproof as well as resistant to dirt, dust, sand, water and more. Its ingenuity even allows speakers to float in water and uniquely offers Qi wireless charging while playing music. Combining portability and performance, Hydra 2.0 speakers' new features also include a built-in 6-degree pedestal base for optimal audio dispersion and Party Sync for pairing over 100 speakers. Boasting a refreshed look with a new logo, grill/plating and vibrant colors, this lineup of speakers delivers the best audio quality at an unmatched market value.
