Awesome speaker to say the least. Felt sturdy out of the box and had a solid, but still lightweight feel.Turning on and pairing was a breeze. Took less than 15 seconds. For the size of the speaker, backs quite a powerful punch. Think the size of a lunchbox, with the handle.The speaker itself, the bass drivers on both sides were amazing. Great sound clarity and awesome bass for a portable speaker.The 60W mode sounds fine and conserves a good amount of battery, but the 80W mode is where its at. Best sound, and still goes for quite a few hours. Super easy to switch between both W functions.Switching up the RGB functions and turning off the RGB is also easy, a sticker on the speaker explains it well.Charging took a bit of time, about an hour to fully charge it to 100 (might've been the adapter being used).But can also charge a device on it!For its price point, easily beats the mainstream competition that is double or triple the price (B0se, HK, etc.)

The Soundcore Boom 2 by Anker is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a powerful and reliable Bluetooth speaker that performs equally well indoors and outdoors. With features like 80W output, a dedicated subwoofer, and BassUp 2.0 technology, the sound quality is rich, full, and surprisingly deep for a portable speaker.One of the standout qualities is its versatility. Whether you're camping, hanging out at the beach, or just relaxing in the backyard with friends, the Boom 2 fits right in. It’s IPX7 waterproof and even floats, so you don’t have to worry about water damage or accidental drops in the pool. The 24-hour playtime means the party doesn’t have to stop, and the RGB lights add a fun, customizable touch to the vibe.I also appreciate the USB-C charging, Bluetooth 5.3 for stable connections, and the ability to tailor the sound with the custom EQ in the app. The size is just right — not too bulky, but not so small that it sacrifices sound performance. It’s easy to carry or throw in a bag for on-the-go use.Overall, I’d highly recommend the Soundcore Boom 2 to anyone in the market for a high-performance Bluetooth speaker. It's rugged, feature-packed, and delivers impressive audio no matter where you are.

I am VERY satisfied with this purchase, especially with the sale price. I had ordered the 90 watt W King and was very disappointed. The sound quality was ok but the volume was so lacking that I kept checking all the settings to see if I was missing something. I returned that one and ordered the Boom 2 which is rated for ten watts less. This thing so sounds better and is FAR more loud than the W King and doesn’t distort distort even with the volume all the way up. When I turned it on my wife and a fried stopped what tgey were doing and said “ wow, what’s that?”. It fills my three car garage nicely too. No complaints whatsoever. Oh, and the app has an easy to use EQ too!

I work as a grill cook, which means I’m in a very noisy environment. So I need a speaker that is very loud. And I can say this speaker gets very loud for its size, but is never harsh on the ears, like some other speakers which leave an almost ringing in your ears after a high note. And it does not distort at max volume which is a plus for me.I used to have a 50w Rave Neo from soundcore, until recently when I sold it to a coworker who was in need of a good speaker. I had it for nearly 5 years. When I had it, I was constantly getting compliments on how impressive that speaker sounded. So I decided to buy another speaker from Anker since it’s quality I can trust.Comparing to the 50w Rave Neo, both with bass boost, and boom 2 out of box sound profile. The boom 2 gets louder than the rave Neo, however gets a little “muddier” at high volumes, while the rave Neo keeps a fuller sound. Probably due to the fact the boom 2 is missing a full range driver, and only has tweeters and a racetrack “subwoofer”. However does not matter in my use case. The battery life seems the same, after 3 hours of use at high volumes with bass on, I only used 40% of the battery on the boom 2, while I also used 40% of the rave Neo. Portability goes to the Boom 2. It is only the length of a ruler, height of 3/4 of a ruler, and is fairly slim. so it fits on any standard sized table easily, it also weighs less than half what the rave Neo weighs. The rave Neo felt like a workout carrying it work, while the boom 2 is easily carried by one finger. I also give appearances to the boom 2. The metal grill on the boom 2 feels very rugged and is much superior to the metal grill on the rave Neo. Both plastics feel the same as well, however it does seem the boom 2 is more vulnerable to scuffs and marks as I already have a scuff on the boom 2 with only 3 hours of use, while I have never gotten a scuff on the rave Neo. The LIGHTSHOW. The boom 2 is amazing to watch as it lights up and moves the radiators to the music. Very nice touch since I never really enjoyed the lights on the rave Neo. The rave Neo was also impressive, but the diffusion on the boom 2 looks very premium. Charging. Both charge with an input of usb type c. However, with the rave Neo, you had to use a usb type A charging block, which was super annoying because I have been trying to get away from usb type a, and micro usb. Type c charging blocks and cords are worlds superior. And the boom 2 can charge from any type c charging block.Sound. The boom 2 is loud. It is not audiophile quality. But if you plan on sticking it in the corner of the room or on the outside of a basketball court, you might not feel or hear every instrument or every vocal chord in a singers throat, but I guarantee you will be satisfied with the volume of music you are receiving from this speaker, which does sound very pleasant at least, which is what this speaker is meant to do. Get loud, so you can listen to music while you are doing other activities. I highly recommend higher end soundcore speakers, can’t go wrong.

we use this for our backyard movie nights paired with our projector, and has absolutely booming sound. was easily worth the money, great build quality, not cumbersome. easy to connect to another Bluetooth device, lightweight so easy to carry, and built sturdy

I love this speaker. Great sound and great functionality. Its super easy to carry and keep track of with its style/shape. The light show is a lot of fun in low light situations. I was kinda bummed that its not as loud as other reviews said it was....its hard to hear in an open warehouse type environment.
