Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker with 12W Stereo Sound, BassUp, IPX7 Waterproof, 24-Hour Playtime, Wireless Stereo Pairing, Speaker for Home, Outdoors, TravelClimatePartner certified

This is an excellent speaker for the price. Good bad, punchy sound and lacks the tinny sound of other speakers at this price point. It feels quality, with a chunky weight and solid, waterproof casing.I've run it for four years now, still works really well. Sound is still crisp, connects to any device instantly, and has a really good Bluetooth range of about 6m without dropping connection. My only criticism is the volume down softkey no longer responds, but apart from that it's perfect.

Bought for playing music from my phone, on which I use Amazon Music and other sources of music. This Bluetooth stereo speaker works well, providing a much better sound than would be available from a phone or tablet, but it's not what I would describe as Hi-Fi. As the speakers in the unit are so close together the stereo effect is minimal. The sound is balanced, very listenable and the volume is more than sufficient for use in a quite large room. It connected quickly and easily to my phone and is easy to operate. The battery lasts long enough for the several multi-hour listening sessions and is easily recharged using a USB-C charger, 10W is the maximum recommended charger power. It feels and looks like a well made, quality product but at 405g it is quite heavy although it's compact at about the same length as many smartphones. Quite pricey, but recommended.

This portable speaker punches way above its price point. Setup is a breeze—pairing takes seconds—and once it’s going, you get impressively loud, clear audio with great battery life. Yes, the highs can lean a touch tinny, but for the money you pay, the overall sound quality, convenience, and durability make this a fantastic buy. An unbeatable value for everyday tunes on the go!

I bought this in order to listen to music from my ancient Brennan JB7 via the modern magic of Bluetooth connectivity, not built in to the JB7 but via a Tx/Rx gizmo plugged into the headphone jack. I used wired speakers for years which took up too much room and fell under the "get rid" criteria when downsizing to our new home.Sound is definitely not as good as you would get from even cheap wired speakers but you can carry it with you from room to room and, providing you're not an audiophile seeking perfection, get good enough sound for background music. If you really want to listen to your music then not ideal as you can't expect too much from it and some tracks definitely sound different than they did through wired sound.I like the design, portability and the reach is impressive - I moved it from upstairs to downstairs and into my lady's chamber and never lost the signal. Not that I intend to carry it around but it proved its portability. All in all, good value for the money.

The Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker is an outstanding piece of technology that has truly impressed me. From the moment I started using it, the sound quality stood out as exceptional for a speaker of its size. The audio is crisp, clear, and surprisingly robust, delivering both highs and lows with remarkable balance. It’s rare to find a portable speaker that feels this well-rounded, especially one that doesn’t distort even when you crank up the volume.Beyond the sound, the design feels thoughtfully crafted. It’s compact and lightweight, making it incredibly easy to carry around, whether you’re heading to the park, a beach day, or just moving it from room to room. The outer casing feels sturdy, with a slightly rubberized finish that gives it a durable, premium touch. This is a speaker that’s clearly designed to handle both daily use and the occasional adventure.One of the most impressive aspects is how long the battery lasts. Once charged, it just keeps going. I’ve used it for hours on end without ever worrying about plugging it back in. This kind of battery performance makes it ideal for trips or long days out when you don’t want to fuss with cables or outlets.The wireless connection is another standout feature. Pairing it with my devices was quick and easy, and the speaker maintains a solid connection, even when I walk a reasonable distance away. It feels like a product that understands how we actually use portable speakers—effortless and reliable.Another highlight is its durability. I’ve used it outdoors, in unpredictable weather, and even near water without any concerns. The rugged build gives me confidence that it will hold up, no matter where I take it. It’s the kind of product that just feels dependable, which adds to its overall appeal.If you’re looking for a portable speaker that delivers top-notch sound, feels well-made, and can handle real-world use, this one is a no-brainer. It’s a joy to use and has become one of my favourite gadgets, whether I’m relaxing at home or out exploring.

Got this for holiday abroad, long life battery, fantastic sound, super easy to set up and fantastic price, looks and feels good quality, would definitely recommend:)

This is the third soundcore for the house. Perfect balance of sound quality, ruggedness and size for a great price.

Really impressed with the quality of this speaker. Heavy, sturdy not cheap looking or feeling at all. So easy to connect and got it up and running straight away. Sound quality is excellent - and the volume controls are very responsive. The power is perfect for any room - whether in the shower or a bbq/ party - Super happy with it!
