soundcore 2

It took all of five seconds to pair the Soundcore 2 to my desktop. I opened Bluetooth settings, clicked Add Device, pressed the Bluetooth symbol on the speaker and bang, it was paired and playing music. I have a number of Anker charging devices. They are all great products which prompted me to purchase an Anker Bluetooth speaker. For the size of the speaker the sound quality is very impressive. Don't expect booming bass. I'm an audio engineer with very trained ears. This speaker, for under $30, is everything you could ask for. Voices sound natural and music is very pleasant to listen to. There is enough low end to make it a good speaker for music listening. I attached a screenshot from an audio spectrum analyzer I use to tune large sound systems. What to look for is a straight line with a little slop from the low end on the left to the high end on the right. The red line shows peaks while the yellow line is impulse response. The Soundcore is not perfect but neither are $100K sound systems. From my experience I can say the response is very good, all the way down to 40 Hz. The waterfall screen below shows very even response with a slight emphasis at the lower end from 100 to 300 Hz. The important range from 1 kHz to 10kHz is great, very flat. That is why the Soundcore 2 sounds so pleasing. Anker nailed it with this little speaker. You need something bigger for a dance party, but for personal listening, the Anker Soundcore 2 is as good as it gets for under $100.

A crucial test was signal range. I live in a six bedroom 4000 square foot single level house. I took the speaker everywhere without losing connection. That may be the most impressive feature of this speaker. No other Bluetooth device has made it past the kitchen from my office. The Soundcore 2 reception range blew the doors off every other Bluetooth product to date, and I've tried some pretty high end devices like $300 Sennheiser headphones. Holy smoke Batman, I'm very impressed with that feature.

The speaker charges with USB C making it compatible with any of my Anker USB C high performance chargers. To say I'm happy with this purchase is an understatement. I'm thrilled. I got more than I could hope for from a $30 Bluetooth speaker.

I bought my Soundcore 2 in 2018 and it's been great. Unfortunately, the power button wore a hole in it from so much use. It still works but now I'm ready for the Soundcore 3!

My husband bought this little powerhouse speaker to which I made fun of because I'd had a Bose speaker I paid over $100.00 for! Well, we have a hot tub and we're using it while in the tub. When we got out and hubby forgot it was sitting on the side, he proceeded to put the top on the hot tub. Three days later, we went back into the tub. To our surprise, we saw the little speaker down at the bottom of the tub! We were so bummed out! My husband turned it on and IT WORKED PERFECTLY! ❤️❤️❤️ We have been using every time and now I even use it in the house! You cannot beat this little thing up! That's a helluva speaker!

Love my little speaker. Well worth the money.

Wow! I never knew how scrappy my previous bluetooth speaker was until I bought this one! The quality of sound that comes from this little thing is astounding! I thought about Bose & JBL but, just couldn't justify the cost. So I decided to try this one, just to see, since I read such great reviews. Great choice! I'm even thinking of buying a 2nd to sync up for surround sound.
