I have a pair of Soundcore 2 speakers and I can safely say that they do not have big subwoofers or intense bass. It sounds like you want a speaker with no bass. I can't imagine enjoying listening to speaker with less bass than a Soundcore 2. I want thick bass, great mids, and clear highs. I also have an Oontz Angle 3 and it has virtually zero bass, I mean it gives the illusion of bass but it really doesn't have bass. I like the bass on my pair of Uboom L's in tws mode and my Soundcore Boom 2 (which delivers more bass than it should, which I love).

How does it compare to the Soundcore Boom 2 by Anker? I just bought one and it cuts out, sounds ok though I miss my Big Jambox (speakers recently blew)

I bought one recently and am very happy with it. I also had the Tribit Stormbox Lava briefly at the same time and was able to test them side by side. Personal preference obviously, but I preferred the Boom 2 by a significant margin.

I’ve found the soundcore speakers to be reasonable for the prices. I have the boom 2.

+1 for the Boom 2. I love mine. The bass is nice and defined, and easily 8-10 hrs runtime at mid volume

Amazon has a "renewed" Boom 2 for $85. I got one a few months ago; it's indistinguishable from brand new. Comes in a factory sealed original box w/ full manufacturer warranty. Absolute steal at that price

You have to be lucky to catch it on sale though. Amazon seemingly has an endless supply available whenever. And, you would not even suspect that the renewed one is anything but brand new. From the packaging to the device itself, it's flawless. It's not like buying a used item on FB Marketplace

It's well worth it IMO. I travel a lot for work and use it 50/50 for music and movie watching along with my Galaxy Tab. The little subwoofer does a great job on the low frequency effects in movies. It's surprising how much deep bass can come out of such a little box

Agree here, I think I have Boom, I’ve been very happy with it.
