Review on Herdio Waterproof Outdoor Bluetooth Speakers - 4 Inches, White - Ideal for Patio, Deck, or Wall Mounting by Katie Garcia

Audio and Alexa issues

If the speakers were working properly, the sound would be good. I wasn't happy with Alexa and Bluetooth. I had a hard time getting her to work outdoors while trying to connect to Alexa. I had to call Revane to get directions. They weren't in the package. No understanding emerged from the package insert. It was so minimal it was useless. I don't think the average person could even figure out how to make it work with Alexa. The main issue with these speakers was the static I had when adjusting the angle on the brackets. I believe there was a loose wire inside the speaker that was connected to a power source. I couldn't get rid of it. Just listening with Alexa at about six out of ten, the music fades in and out and starts to sound good. This can be very annoying. Bluetooth is not enough. There has to be a way to talk to Alexa through the speakers. I think I was scammed when I read the product description. I couldn't control the volume except with the Alexa I had at home. If Alexa was being used, I could then use Alexa internally without getting disconnected. So you have to adjust the volume and hope it's good enough. My smartphone used bluetooth to connect but then Alexa couldn't connect unless my smartphone was disabled. I'm debating whether to return it or if I have to go through the whole process. Packaging and shipping.
