Upgraded, Anker Soundcore Bluetooth Speaker With IPX5 Waterproof, Stereo Sound, 24H Playtime, Portable Wireless Speaker

You want a review? Here's a review!Talk about a damn good speaker for the price. You can't beat this value. I actually hear bass! I've had my speaker for a wee lil bit over 2 years now. So trust this is a proper review. If a reviewer got it, and it was broken immediately or shortly thereafter, yes, that says something about overall quality, but unfortunately, no matter the product lemons occur. Those reviews are totally helpful, but you have to weigh them against other reviews that may be more positive. And no, I'm not being paid for this review. I just feel that the more information provided on a product the best for all - consumers, manufacturers, and sellers. That being said...let's get down to the nitty gritty.Price - done and done, son. You can beat this price. Even without looking at quality, <$30 for a portable speaker is damn proper. Usually, at this price, I'm thinking, "How much treble am I gonna have?" Yes "treble" bc for most low end speakers that's all you get - treble, and then, bass that is the equivalent to a soft unsatisfied grunt.Charge - The charge does last a long time. However, I can now tell that the time between charges is shorter now. And in the past 2 months I've noticed that I can have it charging, not in use for a long time, but the blue light that indicates that the speaker is fully charged never goes on. This did bother me when it first started happening, but I now see that I still have a lot of play/usage time despite not having the blue light fully charged special.. Definitely 12+ hrs.I cannot say exactly how much use time I get. I don't keep the speaker in use for more than 5ish+ hrs most days. But I do notice the frequency of charge. And now, after 2 years and many, many, many days leaving the speaker on, not plugged in, not in use (for days), I will have to charge it once during the weekend. That's the time I use it the most and when it might be in use for 8+ hrs.Personally, it's not a bother since I can charge and use the speaker at the same time. However, if you're going on a weekend camping trip, especially if you've had the speaker for a while, definitely take a power source or an additional speaker. I'm planning on getting another for that same reason - one for home and one for travel.Sound Quality - As I mentioned earlier, for a portable speaker, the bass is quite decent, as is the volume. I've had house parties using only this speaker and it was perfect. Now, I do only have a 2/1 apt, but on the balcony and even on the yard (if strategically placed) all guests were able to hear the music. Yet, it's not too loud to cause a disturbance. We've been hanging out till 6-7am, with the speaker on the balcony, without any complaints. Volume: Distubance = on point!Set-up/Use - The set up is über simple. And you can easily disconnect and pair the speaker to another device. As more an more devices become simpler to pair, this is not as an important feature, but still one to note. KIS - keep it simple.Not so short summary that is longer than the review - Hands down this is the best speaker for your money and better than many other higher priced speakers out there. I almost bought a Beats Pill, but decided against it after comparing price and reviews to Anker's portable speaker. And I decided, quite definitively, yes, Anker's portable speaker is worth it.For a fraction of the price for Beats I encourage you to try it out. Especially make the leap if you are looking for a travel speaker. Because when you travel, things never go as planned and inevitably something goes to crap like - your trip itinerary, your luggage, shady hostels inspired by or the inspiration of an Eli Roth flick, lost chonies (look it up bc the "p" word is gross, girls wear those, and I'm a grown woman and I wear chonies/chones), lost passports, lost virginities (the plural includes one virginity for multiple individuals or multiple virginities per one individual - like if you grew a second hymen or are a born again virgin), lost souls (it happens), or even the loss of dignity. But through all of that, what really blows is the loss of a hundreds of dollars speaker that you purchased mainly for your travel.If you get the Anker Soundcore, will you be protected from the aforementioned b.s.? Not in the slightest. But will you loathe yourself less when your bad ass portable speaker with 24hr charge is lost? Yes bc you didn't spend a few Benjamins on it.So now you can get a replacement. Or better yet, go ahead and buy 2 now and save yourself the hassle (but indulge in the Hasselhoff).Moral of the story. Stop reading reviews right meow and get this speaker. It's good, it's a fraction of the cost of comparable speakers, the charge lasts forever (if your forever was 24 hrs or less), you can charge it and still use it, and does this look like a face that would lie to you? Exactly! Also you can use the speaker, connected to your Alexa decide to play music by the Hoff, without a hassle (you see why I did there).Epilogue: On a side note, I'm currently debating getting this model (which I've had for two years, just reminding you in case you forgot or were distracted by to sweet tunage of the Hoff playing in your mind since you ahvent bought this speaker yet -Shame, shame, SHAME!), or the updated version. I've been pretty darn pleased with the older model. So that should also tell you something - the older model is so dope that I don't even know if I need the newer version.

This Bluetooth speaker is the best speaker ever. Better than my large bulky one that I purchased from Home Depot. It's small and easy to carry wherever you go. I purchased the leather carrying case. I'll share the link at the end of this review.I purchased 3 of these Anker Soundcore Speakers in January 2024. One for myself and an additional 2 for two my friends after having mine for a few days because the sound quality and bass is superb and the battery life literally last 24hrs and longer.We all do live broadcast and sometimes will play music or certain songs during or before the broadcast and this Bluetooth speaker prevents the songs from sounding choppy or distorted.It's also great for connecting to both your mobile cell phones or tablets to watch and listen to your movies, favorite tv shows, YouTube Videos, Live Streams etc giving it a Movie Theater surround sound quality.BUILT IN WIRELESS MICROPHONE FOR PHONE CALLS: Little did I know it had a built in microphone for phone calls until one day I was listening to music on YouTube from my phone in which I had the Bluetooth Speaker connected to my phone.One of my friends called me on my phone and it interrupted the song and started ringing through both my phone and Bluetooth speaker. So I answered my phone and my friend replied with a greeting which came through my speaker. She could hear me clearly and I could hear her clearly several feet away from my phone and speaker. So it allows you to have a handsfree conversation. I was shocked.BATTERY LIFE: As I mentioned before literally last 24hrs or for a few days before I have to recharge depending on how, how long, how often or how many hours I use it.For Example: I used it 2 days in a row at work at least for at least 1 to 2 hrs each day. And it was still at a 80% charge. This past Memorial Weekend I took a 2 hour car ride trip to Chattanooga TN from Atlanta GA and I listened to and watched a Broadcast on YouTube the entire trip. And it was still at a 100% Charge. So the battery life is good.And after having it now for 5 months I still have no issues with it and still loving it. The price is good and worth it. My friends are both still enjoying theirs as well.LINK FOR LEATHER TRAVELLING CASE:Anker SoundCore Official Travel Case (SoundCore/SoundCore 2 Bluetooth Speaker ONLY) - PU Leather Premium Protection Carry Case https://a.co/d/1mEnHvpLINK FOR SILICONE TRAVEL BUMPER:Alltravel Silicone Bumper for Anker Soundcore and Soundcore Motion B Bluetooth Speaker, Customized Skin with Color and Shape Matching, https://a.co/d/6zlxMd5

جوده عاليه واداء رائع وصوت ضخم وفخم

I had the last version of this speaker for several years, and used it until all the rubber/plastic buttons broke through. I continued to use it by turning it on/off with a golf tee. I decided to get a new one and went with the newer version. Not disappointed at all. Same great sound quality. Same great durability. Same great price.

I am a picky guy when it comes to products, I go over quality than affordability. Anker SoundCore is one of Ankers portable speakers which competes with high-end/expensive portable speakers. with a speaker at this price point I was expecting to get a mediocre sound quality, but read the full review to see what I got from this speakers usage over 6 months.Style and built: This speaker looks a bit larger in photos but it is a big small and in a compact form. It has squarish with rounded edges with matte finish, which makes it look sleek. I choose blue over black for its brightness, plus black sounds boring. The speaker is really small for what it can deliver, plus it is much smaller than high-end/expensive speakers. Not to mention the speaker weighs almost nothing, well its about 400 gram.performance: As mentioned, I was not expecting high quality sound from those speakers for their price, but during the period of my usage they did deliver good sound quality for different type of musics. the highs and mids of this speaker is close to perfect, they deliver high-mid range frequencies (Piano, Guitar, Vocals and any similar type of sounds) sounds clearly without much distortion. The low range frequencies is where Anker lacks a bit, the base is there but is not enough to feel it, I would not complain about it much for its compact and small form factor, this makes the speaker a bit drawback for EDM music, other than that the base is good almost for any other music style. overall the speaker delivers crisp sound and loud enough.Battery: BATTERY! yes, uppercase, Anker SoundCore beats all other speakers with its battery life. Anker claims 24 hours of battery. I think it can last even more, I charge this speaker every once a week just to make sure it always have a full battery at the start of the week, I use this speaker mostly during shower/cooking every day, and never ran out of battery, I never charged it because I was out of battery. This makes the speaker superior for long outdoor camps where there is no electricity yet you want to enjoy the music.Pros:Solid and compact built that can fit in any carry on bag.Crisp and detailed sound with high-mid frequencies.BATTERY! long enough not to worry about if its going to run out of any.Cons:Low frequencies are not enough to fill the base intended to produce, it is not that bad, but it would not be a great speaker for EDM music.There is no hole or a place to attack a strap on the speaker, so you can only use the speaker when it is stationary. If you want to use it while moving, I do recommend Anker SoundCore Sport XL speaker:(https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01DZ56MX0?psc=1)Personal Opinion:Overall, this speaker delivers a solid, and crisp sound with its small and compact form factor. I am a student and use this speaker while I shower or do cooking, occasionally I use it outdoor for camping. the battery is what makes me like the speaker more than its sound quality, it is long enough not to worry about it at all, you can travel without thinking about charging it for a week. this speaker would be great for:Students: this is mainly because of its small and compactness, this will make the speaker fairly small and light.Camping: its good for camping for its superior battery life, it is not loud enough to party on it, but its good to listen to some music in silent while hanging in the tent :).Cooking/showering: I used 6 months mostly while showering and cooking and it served pretty well for both.If you want a portable speaker to make the sound of your iPhone louder and more enjoyable, consider this speaker to be your favorite. I did not use this speaker to make phone calls, it does not advertise of it having a mic, so I believe its not meant for phone calls directly through the speaker.Note: I did get this speaker for free as a replacement for my defective unit, I do such a long review in order to support Anker for its customer service and help them to make better products.

There are so many options in the market when it comes to Bluetooth speakers, yet just a handful that give exceptional sound output. Anker makes great tech accessories and have an even better customer service. They're relatively new to the sound and audio sector, from what I've learned, but they've made a great start! This speaker is actually smaller in size than I'd imagined, yet its one of the clearest I've heard. Now, this may not be best suited for pool parties (no water or dust proofing) or playing electronic music, as it's not as loud as JBL or UE series, but its got enough bass and treble to give out the most realistic sound. It's bang for the buck if you're a casual listener who doesn't like over-exaggerated sound output.One con is I wished these were louder, but that's expected from a 12W speaker. They're still very loud for its size. And boy, does it have a great battery, usually runs atleast 8 days (not kidding) without a charge. I just wish Anker sold products in India directly, as these are far cheaper abroad (delivery from Amazon.com might be cheaper despite the import taxes). If you can get them from someone living abroad, you've got yourself a great speaker for very cheap!
