Anker Soundcore Bluetooth Speaker with 24-Hour Playtime, 66-Foot Bluetooth Range & Built-in Mic, Dual-Driver Portable Wireless Speaker with Low Harmonic Distortion and Superior Sound - Red

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.

There are so many options in the market when it comes to Bluetooth speakers, yet just a handful that give exceptional sound output. Anker makes great tech accessories and have an even better customer service. They're relatively new to the sound and audio sector, from what I've learned, but they've made a great start! This speaker is actually smaller in size than I'd imagined, yet its one of the clearest I've heard. Now, this may not be best suited for pool parties (no water or dust proofing) or playing electronic music, as it's not as loud as JBL or UE series, but its got enough bass and treble to give out the most realistic sound. It's bang for the buck if you're a casual listener who doesn't like over-exaggerated sound output. One con is I wished these were louder, but that's expected from a 12W speaker. They're still very loud for its size. And boy, does it have a great battery, usually runs atleast 8 days (not kidding) without a charge. I just wish Anker sold products in India directly, as these are far cheaper abroad (delivery from Amazon.com might be cheaper despite the import taxes). If you can get them from someone living abroad, you've got yourself a great speaker for very cheap!

I did a lot of research before purchasing this bluetooth speaker. I wanted something that was easy to grab and carry around the house so that I can listen to music in different rooms. I wanted something with long battery life, so that I could spend more time listening to music, and only have to charge it up occasionally. I wanted a speaker with Bluetooth 4.0 (for use with my iPhone), and with an Aux cable input (my old iPod Nano doesn't have Bluetooth). I wanted something colorful (most units are boring black). I wanted a device with decent sound, but was willing to trade off bass performance for size/weight/cost. It needs to be loud enough so that I can hear tunes in the shower when the speaker is on my bathroom counter. And finally, I wanted something affordable. I narrowed my choices down to this Anker SoundCore vs the DKnight MagicBox II. While the DKnight MagicBox II is comparable in size/price, and has a lot of positive reviews, my belief is that many of these are fake reviews, paid for by the company. I ended up choosing the Anker SoundCore speaker for 2 reasons: 1) I have many other Anker products that I love, and trust their brand; 2) I got this unit for 30 dollars on an Amazon daily deal. Now that it's arrived, I am quite pleased -- it met all of my criteria. It quickly/easily paired with my iPhone, and the sound quality was fine. It lacks the deep bass that you can get with larger speakers, but I knew that going in, and I am not disappointed at all in the sound. In fact, I was impressed with how loud the volume can go -- it packs a big punch for a small speaker. There are 3 things I would change if I were designing a 2nd-generation version of the SoundCore speaker -- of them cosmetic changes: 1) Remove the giant "ANKER" logo from the face of the speaker (it looks tacky); 2) Instead of making the unit red all over, make it black and red (e.g. black housing with a red speaker grill, or red housing with a black speaker grill) since there is just too much red; 3) Make the top buttons actual buttons with good button feedback instead of raised symbols molded into the housing. Other than these cosmetic changes, I am pleased with the size, price, sound, battery life, and overall build quality of this unit.

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.

I've had this speaker for about 4 years now and let me tell you, it is still working GREAT. After owning it for about a year I had decided that I wanted to try and get something better so I bought a JBL Flip 4 ($130), and that ended up only lasting me a year until it suddenly stopped working and JBL couldnt help me because their warranty isn't great, while my Anker speaker is 4 years in and still working like new. Sound Quality - The sound Quality is really really good, it's a loud enough to fill a small to medium room, the bass is obviously not as great compared to some high end speakers that focus on bass have (Ex. JBL Flip 4) but honestly was not a problem for me. - I mostly would use it in the bathroom and it was loud enough, for it to feel like a party in there hahaha Battery Life - Let me tell you, I swear this thing lasts for ever. Obviously it depends how frequently you use it but I swear ill go like a week without having to charge it and that using it at least every day for a couple of hours a day. - Even when it start to beep to indicate that the battery is about to die, it will last for like 2 hrs more. Its Great! - Although when i do use this in one sitting or take it to like a lake or something it doesn't seem too last as long then but you still get a good 3 hrs out it. Overall Quality of Speakers - This thing may not be meant to be super durable but it definitely has been for me. I have dropped it quite a few times, I always have it in the bathroom with me and have probably gotten it wet a few times and it is still going great. But if you are looking for something more durable and waterproof probably go for their Soundcore 2 (Not sure how good it is though, as I don't Own it) IF you are looking for something affordable to take to parties/gatherings and have a good Jam I recommend this product for sure!
