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.

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.
