Score: 79/100Altec Lansing HydraMotion
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Altec Lansing HydraMotion offers 360° sound, IP67 durability and up to 16 h of playback with fast USB-C charging. Its drawbacks include a tendency to roll on flat surfaces and less-defined treble. Ideal for outdoor adventurers who value ruggedness and quick charging.
The DOSS SoundBox Pro+ P300 delivers a powerful 40 W stereo output with IPX6 waterproof protection and a 20-hour battery for outdoor gatherings. Its lack of advanced lighting and occasional Bluetooth range issues limit its premium appeal, and high-volume use reduces runtime. Best for users who want loud, bass-heavy sound and waterproof durability without needing extensive lighting or extra ports.
