Hilariously still haven’t gotten any kind of support from Altec. Really pathetic at this point.

Updated by user Jan 15, 2024

Update*Still have had no contact from their support team, after more email correspondence, I was asked to wait 24-48 hours for a call, I waited roughly 56 hours and sent them another email. They have now just asked me to wait indefinitely for a phone call and still...

Update* I’m still emailing back and forth with them, (no phone call as of yet) but they did try to blame it on the functions of their own product, (saying that house party only works with products that have identical model numbers). This is in fact false, as per their...

Original review Jan 08, 2024
I currently own their Mini LifeJacket Jolt and the standard LifeJacket Jolt. I purchased the second speaker in order to utilize their house party function.

Long story short, the house party function is not working between these speakers, I perform every audio device troubleshooting method I am aware of, followed by consulting the Altec Lansing Support website. Where it clearly states that this is a function that will work between both speakers and that they are compatible.
Then I made the mistake of trying to get a hold of Altecs support team. They have an email address you can contact on their website, but emailing them only results in them directing you to their corporate number. I called the corporate number and found out that I now have to leave a message with my name, number, products, and issue on hand.

I have now done this several times over the course of a week and have heard nothing back. Last time Ill ever purchase from Altec.

I’ve had the exact same experience, Altec has seriously declined since being purchased by the infinity group.

Online order not delivered

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I received an order confirmation on Dec 4 in time for Christmas delivery. After two weeks I called to inquire about delivery status and was told they had no record of my order, even though I had an order confirmation.

I had to make several attempts to find out the status and finally tried to cancel the order. I had to send them a screenshot of my order confirmation, and then it took another 2 weeks to cancel the order but still no refund. Furthermore, I had to make several more attempts to get a refund.

Lousy customer service and agents are difficult to communicate with because of language barrier. I will never use this company again.

Poor Customer Service

Purchased duo speakers that lasted about 1 month. Called the only customer service number they have ( waited 13 minutes for someone to pick up) and the rep (indian accent; I knew then, it was gonna be a disaster) said I would get a email in 10 to 15 minutes with instructions and prepaid label on how to ship the item to them for replacement or repair. I never received *** What a scam! I will NEVER buy BS ALTEC again. Poor quality items and poor scammer customer service!!!

Unable to receive help in getting a replacement earphone charger

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Too many questions. Contact me or send me contact information. It is amazing how much time has to be spent in order to find a replacement charger. I type what I thought was a sufficient explanation for why I am trying to reach the company and I am not writing/ typing enough. Maybe this issue will be addressed. The earphones work very well but I dont know what happened to my charger and so Im unable to recharge it. Hope this is good enough to make my point.

Mini H2O cable

Hi, I'd like to acquire a 6 ft. charge cable. Can I order a standardized cable or is it unique to the speaker? If standard, could you tell me the what type the smaller connector is. Btw, do you sell such a cable? Thank you. Alan

Hi, I took it back and got a refund. The price would've been OK if it had worked, the amount of complaints on the internet if I had seen them Before I bought them would have stopped me buying them.

Headphones not functioning fully

I received a replacement and that set has now begun to show the same malfunction.

Original review May 12, 2022
Of the two earPhones only one had sound. The fellow (probably from India) was a little difficult to understand. He did not have a suggestion which resulted in fixing my headphones. I really am dismayed when these American companies make and support their products everywhere but in the United States! It infuriates me when I cannot find something made in the USA and China or Vietnam is the ONLY option!
