Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker with 12W Stereo Sound, Bluetooth 5, Bassup, IPX7 Waterproof, 24-Hour Playtime, Wireless Stereo Pairing, Speaker for Home, Outdoors, Travel(Renewed)

Bought this at first because it was heavily discounted, but I took the discount to another level and ordered the New-Refurbished version because I recently returned a backpack because my mom bought me a pattern I wasn’t fond of and she got me a better one. Knowing Amazon has a wonderful selection and return policy I had little expectations for the product other than I needed a Bluetooth speaker and that Anker makes quality products. I received the item in excellent condition and was enjoying the music when I remembered I had looked into them years ago. Interested in the TWS (True Wireless Stereo) feature but couldn’t justify buying two of them to try it out at the time. While listening to the rich sound and dynamic range I immediately ordered the second one and writing this review while being extremely happy with this purchase and enjoying true stereo sound. I will mention that the manual makes mention of different serial number and the newer versions now being compatible with older versions for the TWS feature. I think this product is a SOUND investment.

Great for what it is. This is NOT a piece of HiFi, but if all you need is a decent-sounding, lightweight, and durable speaker to play some background music at an event or at the park/ beach. This is really good. The build quality is solid. Anker has a good reputation for making high-quality products that don't drain your wallet. The battery life is respectable, and the sound quality is better than most in this price range. This would be great on hikes or camping trips. I am quite pleased with this purchase.

So caveat, only been using this a few hours at home, but here are some initial things: - Connection was easy after moving it more than 6" from my phone (Pixel 3). - Quite loud. - Sound is fine, though nothing crazy. I'm definitely not an audiophile, but the bass was definitely a bit tinny. But not like painful to listen to or anything. Adele sounded good, some psytrance less good. The hip hop mix I have and the metal mixes were definitely bass lacking, but will be fine for everyday casual listening. Super subjective there without any gear or an ear for it though. - Using my 2.4GHz network, there was some stuttering, probably due to interference from the Bluetooth because it went away when my phone connected to my 5GHz network. - Connection was good to about 30 feet through 4 walls (across three rooms), and then it started breaking up. Putting myself between the phone and the speaker completely broke the connection though, so wouldn't recommend that distance. - No jump 15 seconds ahead or back button, which I didn't even think would be an issue until I was listening to a podcast and realized I had missed something that was said. The was surprisingly annoying. - No battery life indicator. - MicroUSB charging only. I'll update if something else becomes notable. Update (roughly 1 month): - The battery life and the jump-15s things are actually more annoying that I thought, but it's obviously workaround-able. - Cannot change the volume from my computer (a Dell with Win10 v. 22H2), but can from my phone (Pixel3) - Holding it is surprisingly inconvenient. You end up either grabbing the buttons on top, or the grill on the front. - I like the sleek black color, but (a) I actually manage to lose it sometimes it my apartment because it's so unobtrusive, and (b) the front and back look extremely similar, so it can be hard to see immediately which side is facing you.

I love it!!! It's loud, it's waterproof, it's a great portable size without sacrificing sound quality. That's exactly what I needed

Nice little handy piece of equipment! Bottom line, I enjoy it!

Rugged. Kinda cool looking. I like the buttons.

Great little speaker, sounds amazing.

If you own a desktop computer, the power & quality is equivalent to a middle tier desktop computer speaker without a subwoofer. This is the best bang for buck speaker there is. I didn't go with the current Soundcore 3 because that requires an app and I'm one of those Eastern Asians that thinks the CCP is creepy as hell. Soundcore 2 does what it needs to do and the price is low. That's how Chinese needs to operate. Give me the necessities, keep it low cost, and don't be creepy with apps. The one I really wanted was the Sony ULT Field 1. But I don't want to spend 120 on a BT speaker class that's desktop speaker level. 25 is a better deal. This is supposed to be all about convenience and for me to bring to fencing class and competitions when I'm on my break. I don't like headphones because I need to listen to the announcements over the PA at competitions. This is perfect in my sport equipment bag. Another good thing about this speaker is that I can charge it with my power Bank while it's playing so I can take this to a field and do exercises for hours and have it on full blast. USBC port is a wonderful feature. I have plenty of cords for it. I also like how secure I feel with it that it's not sought after like the JBL. I don't have to worry about theft. I also think it sounds a hairline better than the JBL Flip 6. So yeah, I highly recommend it.

I love this little speaker. The sound not comparable to a big system obviously, but it's well built and has been on camping trips and sound very decent for such a small speaker.

cassa perfetta niente da dire, rimbomba ovunque, gran lavoro🙌🏻

Der Soundcore 2 Bluetooth Speaker von Anker ist auf den ersten Blick relativ kompakt, aber dafür wirklich erstaunlich leistungsstark. Wie auf den Bildern zu sehen ist der Lautsprecher nicht besonders groß, liefert aber eine gute Lautstärke und eine angenehme Soundqualität. Für seine Größe klingt er wirklich ordentlich und eignet sich gut für Musik, Videos oder auch als PC-Lautsprecher. Der größte Wow-Effekt für mich ist jedoch der Akku. Ich habe den Lautsprecher mit der ersten Ladung über vier Tage genutzt, ohne ihn wieder aufladen zu müssen. Ein Grund dafür ist auch, dass er sich nach längerer Inaktivität automatisch ausschaltet. Dadurch spart er Energie. Ich benutze ihn häufig am PC als Hauptlautsprecher und die Bluetooth-Verbindung funktioniert schnell und unkompliziert. Vorteile: kompakte Größe gute Lautstärke und ordentlicher Klang sehr starke Akkulaufzeit schnelle und stabile Bluetooth-Verbindung Fazit: Ein kleiner, leistungsstarker Bluetooth-Lautsprecher mit beeindruckender Akkulaufzeit. Für den Preis eine klare Empfehlung

A very good, and usable Bluetooth or connected speaker. I have always found Anker products to be of good quality, and well packaged. This Bluetooth speaker is very good for what it does cost wise. It will never compete with a much more costly portable speakers, but is perfectly adequate for folk who just want to listen to audio sound that is better than from a smartphone, Laptop, or Tablet. The charge lasts for ages too. This comes with a short charging lead, but you will have to purchase a charger, or use a smartphone charger with removable lead. This speaker uses type C USB port for charging, and also has a 3.5mm stereo socket for connection if Bluetooth is not possible. Unfortunately, you cannot use the Soundcore app to tailor the sound quality on this particular Soundcore 2, but sound quality is adequate for the size and price. I do not think you will be disappointed for this price. I have purchased some as gifts, and everyone is happy.....so far!

Ich habe mir den Anker SoundCore 2 Bluetooth Lautsprecher gekauft und bin wirklich begeistert! Der Klang ist für die kompakte Größe überraschend kraftvoll und klar, mit soliden Bässen und angenehmen Höhen. Egal ob zuhause, im Garten oder unterwegs – der Lautsprecher liefert immer eine gute Performance. Besonders überzeugt hat mich die lange Akkulaufzeit. Man kann ihn problemlos über viele Stunden nutzen, ohne ständig ans Aufladen denken zu müssen. Auch die Bluetooth-Verbindung funktioniert schnell und stabil, selbst über mehrere Meter hinweg. Die Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig und robust, wodurch er sich ideal für den täglichen Einsatz eignet. Insgesamt ein top Lautsprecher mit einem sehr guten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Klare Kaufempfehlung!
