 5 star value June 8, 2007
Patrick N. Mcgovern (Michigan)
I have 2 of these sweet little toys. They are a great value providing a solid set of features for a great price. Below are the pros/cons to support my claim:
Pros:
* Great price, got my 2 gigger for under $50. Nothing else comes close!
* It is basically a USB MP3 player, no proprietary software needed to load your tunes. Great for Linux, just plug it into the usb, download songs and go...
* The unit comes with a strap and a plug. Just slip the plug under your belt or into your riding shorts and route the wire up your back to your ears. It is a sinch to adjust your tunes while on the move and you don't have wires hangin out all over... Much better than those sticky, hot arm bands...
* Rugged construction, water resistant. I sweat all over it, beat it to death and it just keeps working...
* Lots of neat info on the display.
* Lots of features that I don't use, maybe someday, so nice to have...
* CDROM has a pdf version in case you lose the paper manual. Just email the manual to your gmail account and it will never get lost...
Cons:
* One of my units locked up when I got it. Others on the net complained about this. My solution was to reload the flash software that comes on the cdrom or on the net and it worked fine... A new version of the flash would be nice.
* You MUST have a good battery! Don't beleive the battery gauge. I use Rayovac rechargeable batteries that last about 6 hours. Just carry a spare. If the unit freaks out (shuts off), replace the battery first. You can adjust power settings if this bothers you.
* Head phones are whimpy, but who cares, you can buy $300 ear buds ;-)
 Unfortunately, the Hydra is a disappointment April 12, 2007

The Ultra Hydra is conceptually a great device. Water / weather resistant, cool looks, voice recorder and radio as well as music player, runs on regular AAA batteries not some expensive specialty battery...
But, unfortunately, when I bought mine, and followed the instructions exactly, it had problems: it would only skip after it played the first track of music. It initially worked for voice recording but then that function also stopped working. I was treating the device like a gem, by the way, and I tried multiple times to follow through the instructions, etc.
The menu system then stopped working, too.
I had bought it from 'TD' and tried to post a review -- they never posted my review! (at least they were friendly and gave me my money back when I returned it).
Buyer beware. The Hydra needs to be re-engineered, and THEN if it is really good quality, I will be among the first to buy it! but not now. I am very disappointed in the device.

This product broke within 2 weeks of use. The "forward" button went out first and then it rattled like something broke on the inside. It no longer works at all. Disappointing product!
