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.

Awesome little speaker and so portable. The sound is rich, bass-y if you know what I mean. I mean not like a subwoofer by any means but there is a nice rich sound, surprisingly loud for the size. This thing is not big! The battery life is amazing. I think I've charged it twice in a year and I use it maybe twice a week to play a few songs here and there. The controls are simple and the design looks very cool. Highly recommend.

I was looking for a small, inexpensive speaker I could put on my bedside table to listen to podcasts at noight when going to bed. This is my second Sound Core product by Anker and it’s also the smallest speaker they offer. The battery lasts 24 hours and the sound is very good considering the small size. It was on sale on Amazon and I’m very happy with it because of both its size, its battery life and its portability. You can turn it up pretty loud but it also sounds great when played at low volumes, like when going to bed at night! A super little speaker that I would highly recommend!

I love the sound this speaker gives off, it’s nice and crisp but, what I don’t like is that it cuts off and you have to reconnect it. It will just stop playing out of nowhere! That is annoying!

Since this is the first real review I’m doing I’m not really sure where to start. I’ve been wanting a Bluetooth speaker for a while now. With a trip to the beach coming up I decided it was time to pull the trigger. There is nothing better than sitting on the beach with a cold beer and listening to good music. I am the type of person who likes good sound quality and that is going to be the number one thing I look for before I consider aesthetics or brand. There is an exception here – budget. When I first came across the Anker SoundCore on Amazon I was skeptical mostly because of the $35 price point. The next speaker I consider was the JBL Clip 2. The JBL did satisfy a requirement I had which was to be waterproof. However I decided that sacrificing this to save a little cash. Another deciding factor was the reviews that I read on Amazon. While one reviewer (krwhome) did a comparison of the JBL Flip 3 speaker to the Anker. Their initial observation was higher sound quality with the JBL (as I would expect). However after further testing they edited the review to state that the Bluetooth range on the SoundCore was superior. This is a bonus for me so I went with the Anker. Full disclosure – I have not been able to test this claim so I’m taking their word for it. I have been using it for several days without a recharge simply cutting it off when not in used. Very impressed with the battery life so far. Initial Thoughts: The packaging is very nice. Everything has its place and no space is wasted. There is just enough room for the speaker and charging cable with a small manual (who needs those things anyway?). The design of the speaker is very satisfying. I like how simple and sleek it is. The logo on the front is a really cool touch to me. It literally takes up a large portion of the front but still manages to not be overstated or obnoxious. If anything it really adds something to the look in my opinion. Some things I did not notice when shopping for the speaker are that it has a 3.5mm aux plug on the side as well as a microphone. For me this is a nice surprise since I wasn’t expecting it. I never really thought of using it for making calls or using the Google Assistant but that definitely makes it even more useful! The buttons on the top are responsive. I do like that they are the same color so it doesn’t take away from the sleek look but my initial impression was that this may make them harder to distinguish after a few beers. After handling the speaker it has a very dense sturdy feel. Overall my initial impression of the Anker SoundCore is very positive. Testing & Use: Right out of the box pairing with my Samsung S8 was very quick and simple. Right when it powered on the blue LED on the front was flashing. Almost immediately it showed up on the phone and paired right up. The LED is solid once paired. First thing I did was fired up Amazon Unlimited Music and listened to the new Imagine Dragons album in an effort to test the range and see how good the lows are. The highs sound great and overall sound quality is very good. The lows do leave a little to be desired in my opinion. Though I wouldn’t really hold it against the speaker due to its size and price point. The lows are At the time of this review I see a new model (Anker SoundCore 2) has been released and it advertises better base and 66ft Bluetooth range. The price is only a little higher at $45.99 it would be worth a try but I’m still very happy with the original SoundCore. The call quality was decent on both calls I made in testing. I don’t really have a baseline here but compared to the speakerphone on my S8 it is similar. Callers reported a little better microphone quality from the S8 as I would expect. However they had no complaints when talking through the SoundCore. Testing outdoors on the patio by the pool as well as on the beach was very impressive. The volume is plenty for several people to enjoy and adjusting is easy thanks to the large pronounced buttons on the top. One thing to keep in mind is the fact that it is not waterproof or water resistant. So if you’re taking this to the pool or beach as I am keep it safe! The battery life thus far has been fantastic. I’ve listened for several hours at a time and not had it go dead on me. They advertise 24 hour battery life. I have not put this to the test but have no reason to doubt it is obtainable at a reasonable volume. I don’t have a lot of negatives for the SoundCore. If the volume is up to maximum and you press the volume up button it has a very loud beep to let you know you’re as high as you can go. It is in my opinion an obnoxious beep but I understand it’s purpose and don’t see a point in docking points for that. The very first time I connected to the SoundCore I was testing the and went a couple rooms over to see how well it would pick up. Once I got 25 or 30 feet away it began to break up some but bear in mind this was through several walls as well. The thing that initially concerned me was that it did not reconnect once I came back into range. Instead the blue LED was back to flashing but when I selected the devices in my S8 Bluetooth menu it never would connect. Since then I have re-paired with the device and gotten out of range several times and it reconnected just like it should. I’ve tried several scenarios and been unable to reproduce the problem at all. To sum it all up I’m sitting here listening to some music with my lady writing this review and I am very happy with my purchase. If you’re budget-conscious and want a quality Bluetooth speaker you can’t go wrong with the Anker SoundCore.

I own multiple Anker products including their headphone and have always been very impressed with their line, especially with this speaker. I have had it for two years now and it's still going strong. I have multiple speakers in the same class/size as this, some similar priced and others substantially more expensive... and the Anker always wins. It has the best battery (days of use without charging), excellent sound quality and strong bass, and it's waterproof to boot.

INITIAL THOUGHTS Wow... this speaker is powerful. I've owned about 3 Bluetooth Speakers in my life (one more expensive, one cheaper) and I can honestly say this is the best experience that I have ever had with a Bluetooth speaker in my entire life. From initial use, probably the best 'bang for your buck' bluetooth speaker. PROS ✓ Anker Brand -> Anker has to be the best company that I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. From every product that I've ever purchased from them, they've all been exceptional and miles above the competition, this speaker still holds true to that sentiment. I will ALWAYS spend the extra dollar to buy Anker products, not only are they incredibly high quality and reliable, but their customer service is exceptional. I highly recommend you buy Anker products when applicable. ✓ Sound Quality/Volume -> For the sake of this review, I turned it up the volume to max and I can honestly say that it is completely unnecessary. This speaker, especially for its size, is probably the most powerful Bluetooth speaker I've ever owned. Not only is it loud, but the sound quality is awesome. The lows (mainly bass) are incredibly powerful yet don't take away from the highs. Please note, however, that when the volume is close to being maxed, the highs become very harsh - though rarely will you need the volume that high, if ever. These speakers are very well balanced and whether you prefer lows, mids or highs, your going to be satisfied with how they sound. ✓ Perfectly Minimalistic -> This speaker sells itself and it knows it. It looks extremely sleek and doesn't try to be anything it's not. The controls are simple as can be, there are 5 buttons: Power, Volume Down, Pause/Play, Volume Up and Pair, and they all do their jobs perfectly; nothing fancy. I love the look of this speaker. ✓ Battery Life -> Although I am yet yo be able to test the 24-hour advertised playback, I have used this device for about 5 hours now and it shows no signs of running out of battery (no sound quality or volume changes). Absolutely perfect for camping (especially if you have no access to power). ✓ Connectivity -> For a Bluetooth speaker, this is probably one of the most important features. Right out of the box (After being charged for about 30 minutes) it took me roughly 15 seconds flat to connect this thing to my phone, and 10 seconds of that was human error. In the 5 hours that I've had it running today, it hasn't disconnected once, absolutely amazing connectivity. In terms of range, I was able to go from my office downstairs, all the way to the other side of my backyard before it disconnected (roughly 55-60 feet). The range is incredible. CONS ✘ Harsh highs (At high volume) -> If you listen to any songs with a lot of highs (Hotel California, for example), you may experience some harsh sounding highs, however, I only experienced this with a few songs (and it was still bearable). I recommend you test it for yourself and see how you like it - whether something is harsh is completely subjective. ✘ Fingerprint Magnet -> Although it's not that noticeable on the black surface, the soft plastic is definitely a fingerprint magnet. If this is something that bothers you I recommend wiping it down with a microfiber cloth every now and then to keep it clean. However if you're someone like me and it doesn't bother you too much (especially since you don't need to be looking at the speaker to enjoy it) then this shouldn't be a problem for you. ✘ Short Charging Cable -> This isn't the end of the world, but if the charger dies and you still want to listen to music, you are going to be very limited to where you can put the speaker. The charger uses micro USB so there is a very good chance that you have a longer cord somewhere around your house, and if you don't, you can easily pick one up here . FINAL THOUGHTS ⚖ This is probably the best Bluetooth Speaker in its price category right now... by far. If you are looking for a cheap yet extremely high-quality Bluetooth speaker, look no further. This speaker is incredible for its price. RATING☆ Price ★★★★★ [5] Quality ★★★★★ [5] Design ★★★★★ [5] Volume ★★★★★ [5] Connectivity ★★★★★ [5] FINAL SCORE ★★★★★ [5] **Hands down the easiest 5-star rating I've ever given... awesome speaker. **NOTE: The attached video doesn't do justice to how loud it really was, the camera I was using wasn't designed to pick up audio. Trust me... it's loud.

Critique sur les enceintes Anker SoundCore et Anker SoundCore Sport IPX7 (RÉDIGÉ EN FRANÇAIS POUR LES CONSOMMATEURS CANADIEN). Bonjour, il y a peu de commentaires rédigés en Français sur les enceintes acoustiques Anker SoundCore et le Anker SoundCore Sport IPX7. Alors, étant informaticien de profession et après avoir utilisé de nombreux appareils Bluetooth sur le marché, je vous fais part de mon évaluation qui sera sans doute orienter plusieurs d’entre-vous : Actuellement, la référence de ce genre d’appareil est le manufacturier Bose (SoudLink et SoudLink Mini II). Tout consommateur qui procède à une évaluation poussée devrait donc utiliser ce point de référence. Voici donc mes critères d’évaluation sur les enceintes Anker SoundCore et le Anker SoundCore Sport IPX7 (sur une cote de 1 à 10) : 1- Aspect de la présentation : l’emballage des Soundcore est originale, présente bien le produit et se démarque par le fait qu’elle est classique et affiche très bien la marque du produit. De plus, le déballage s’effectue à merveille et la boite reste intact (sans bris) puisque le risque de déchirement à l’ouverture est minime. Note : 10/10. 2- Les matériaux utilisés : le caoutchouc est fin au touché en plus de protéger les enceintes acoustiques contre les éraflures et les chocs. De plus, ce type de matériel transporte très bien le son. 3- Rendu du son (aigu et grave). Les 2 appareils ont une qualité de son exceptionnel à savoir que la distorsion est minimalisé, et ce, même à un niveau de volume élevé et maximal. Note : 10/10. 4- Capacité du volume : Encore sur ce point, les 2 appareils sont impressionnantes car pour leur densité (grosseur), elles sont en mesure de produire des sons très élevés et précis, et ce, même dans des environnements extérieurs (par exemple : piscine, plage et parc). Note : 10/10. 5- Autonomie : Avec une autonomie atteignant les 24 heures et des poussières Anker est le leader incontestable de ce domaine. Note : 10/10. 6- Performance du main-libre pour le téléphone : Je n’ai eu aucun problème à utiliser la fonction et peu importe l’emplacement. Pour ceux qui critiquent ce point, vérifier la capacité de connexion de votre téléphone, tablette ou autre. Note : 10/10 7- Performance du Bluetooth : La connexion est très rapide, efficace et stable. Vous pouvez utiliser les appareils dans un large rayon sans risque pour la qualité sonore. 50 pieds sans problème. Note : 10/10 Conclusion : Je vous conseille fortement d’oublier le manufacturier Bose et autres concurrents de Anker puisque les enceintes acoustiques Anker sont d’une qualité exceptionnelle et dépassent toutes les attentes que l’on peut espérer pour ce type de produit. Un son riche et fidèle digne de mention ‘haut de gamme’. N’hésitez-pas à acheter les enceintes Anker puisqu’elles offrent une grande autonomie et la technologie est d’un haut niveau de raffinement que je qualifie de ‘leader’ planétaire.

Una muy bonita y agradable bocina. El sonido muy bien. Llego muy bien y rapido. Por el precio esta más que excelente, tamaño, materiales solo faltaría que el tipo de carga fuera tipo c y no v5 para que fuera perfecta.

The Anker Soundcore Bluetooth Speaker delivers rich, clear sound with deep bass and an impressive battery life for hours of playback. Its sturdy build and reliable Bluetooth make it perfect for any occasion. A great choice for powerful, portable audio!
