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

Fantastic Little Powerhouse – Clear Sound, Long Battery, and Travel Friendly!I’ve tested a fair few portable speakers over the years, and the Anker Soundcore 2 genuinely stands out – especially at this price point.Sound Quality:Crisp highs, decent mids, and surprisingly punchy bass for a speaker this compact. Whether it’s podcasts, playlists, or a Netflix binge from your phone, it delivers without distortion even at higher volumes.Battery Life:Battery life is incredible – I easily got around 20 hours on a single charge with moderate volume use. Perfect for weekends away or garden BBQs without worrying about charging.Design & Durability:Compact, solid build, and just the right weight to feel premium without being bulky. The rubberized exterior gives a nice grip and feels durable enough to survive a few knocks. I’ve even used it in light rain and it held up brilliantly (IPX7 waterproof rating definitely earns its keep).Connectivity:Bluetooth pairing is fast and reliable – haven’t had a single dropout yet. It reconnects instantly to my phone once powered on.If I could be an official Amazon reviewer (which I’m not, this is a personal review), this would definitely be one of the products I’d proudly recommend to everyone. A true value-for-money gem!

Absolutely brilliant sound for such a compact speaker. Very well made, easy to use, no problems connecting to Bluetooth. I have been taking it everywhere with me. Charge holds for ages, I haven't had to charge it yet since it arrived.

Really good, music quality’s amazing, charge lasts a long while even after multiple hours of use everyday and can be taken anywhere without needing to fully charge. Easy to use and connect via Bluetooth. Definitely worth the money for it

This item is good, I use it with my Android phone to listen to music and audio books. Linking the Bluetooth was simple and it very quickly reconnects when wanted. Recharging is simple, note that no charger is included.The size is neither too big or so small as to result in tinny or limited sound. I like the large raised symbols above the buttons, they are easy to locate by feel alone. At night there's no need for any light to find the controls.I listen last thing at night and I set my music to turn off after e.g. 30 mins. In the morning the speaker has turned itself off quietly.The sound quality is rich with lower pitched notes, quite to my taste. My only quibble is the starting fanfare, it's loud and creates a disturbance in a quiet house. There doesn't seem to be a method of setting the volume for the fanfare. The unit remembers the listening volume between uses, so I'm grateful for that.I would give 5 stars if we could adjust the starting, and closing, fanfare.

Great powerful speaker! Good size but compact. Easy to use and move around. Perfect for use in the bathroom and out - I use it everywhere. Sound is rich and impressive with a good bass, which was key for me. Have not had volume anywhere near max as it would provably take the roof off 🤘 Good controls that are functional and easy to use and a decent size - no fumbling around for them as they are immediately recognised by touch. Re charging is fast but charge lasts a long time. A few glitches during first few uses with it staying connected to my wifi but it's solid as a rock now.Would DEFO recommend this product and would purchase from this brand again.

Originally I bought the Soundcore Boost but I only realised it had no AUX port when it arrived. It's mainly used on a PC but sometimes I use an Xbox which has no Bluetooth so this was an issue. I was amazed with the sound so I decided to buy the Soundcore 2 which does have an AUX port.The quality of the Soundcore 2 is on par with the Boost, everything sounds crystal clear, it's just a little less loud and a little less bassy. It's still loud enough to fill a room and doesn't sound tinny when you turn it up. It just doesn't quite kick like the Boost did. It is a lot smaller and lighter than the boost so would be better suited for taking out and about.The battery life is amazing. I don't use Bluetooth so I can't comment on how much that will drain the battery but with an AUX cable I hardly have to charge it. When it does need charging, it still works like normal whilst on charge unlike some others I've had in the past. You also don't get an annoying voice telling you your battery is low every 5 seconds when it gets low, just a red light on top.If you're looking for decent Bluetooth speaker with an AUX port then this is the one, if you're not fussed about the AUX then I'd go for the Boost, however the Boost is a bit bigger and heavier which could be awkward if you plan on taking it out with you. It does seem silly to me, the Boost is definitely better suited as an indoor speaker but it's the one without the AUX port. Whilst the lightweight, compact speaker does have the port 🤷

Excellent sound quality from a small unit with no discernible distortion. Works well with its Bluetooth connection to play from my iPhone. I use it mainly as a speaker for my PC wired to the auxiliary jack plug connection. Again experiencing excellent performance from a compact unit. It fits nicely underneath my display screen. Great value for money. Very pleased.

Rally good sound for such a small speaker. Waterproof and pretty well made.
