Anker - Select 4 Go

Soundcore Select 4 Go. $20 and absolutely kills everything in its class and price range. I have two and in stereo they are pretty damned amazing.

I have a pair of the select 4 Go's. A guy at my work has a pair of the JBL Go's. We compared them and the soundcore smoke the JBL's. More volume, deeper bass, clearer mids and highs. He couldn't believe it when he heard the soundcores.

I've had speakers which claim to be 10-30 watts, and by far none of those have compared to 2, 5 watt speakers I've owned, one being a "ProOne PSB4315 SK12", and the other a "soundcore select go 4", point is; power rating rarely indicates the quality, unless it's a good 5-10x the power

I traveled with the flip 6 the last years, but at the trips, it always seemed to big for the luggage / in the bags. I really like the Stormbox micro 2 design wise, even more since it can be used as a powerbank, but I got the soundcore select 4 go and I really like it (not the tribit mostly cause of its price, not that I couldn’t afford, but I don’t like to spend that much on a small speaker😅). I wished the soundcore had the powerbank function too, but it’s half the price and at that difference, I’m not really willing to get the tribit instead😅 and it is a really great deal for its price. It is loud as a personal speaker and with fitting equalizer settings in the soundcore app it sounds way bigger ( in its thump) at moderate volumes where I’m listening. Of course not meant for party, but still fitting for a little gathering or so, or when working some where else. For example, I was fixing my bike 3 days ago and hung it close by at ~ 30 % volume and it was nice background music and still easily hearable. If you don’t care about bass and it’s just about volume, I don’t think either of the small will do bad, cause all get loud, but if it’s about party bass for multiple peeps or yourself, you will need a physically BIG speaker

I avoid click-bait titles, but having spent a lot of time with the newer Clip 5 and Go 4 from JBL, I was honestly shocked by how well the Select 4 Go performs comparatively, given its $29 price point. Build quality falls a little short of JBL, and the multi-speaker pairing isn't quite as extensive, but still - I've tested a fair amount of speakers, and I'd have a hard time recommending something else for a budget-focused buyer looking for something like the Go 4.

I use the Soundcore Select 4 Go. I use a carabiner to attach to my bike

Thank you for the recommendation. I'm enjoying the Soundcore Select 4 Go so far!

I just said screw it and am getting the select 4 go. I'd thought about taking my backpack with me everywhere anyway. This is my call to carry it everywhere now

If you need something that portable, it's about as good as it gets. There are a few competing models of a similar size that make slightly different tradeoffs, like the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2, the Soundcore Select 4 Go, or the JLab Pop Party, but ultimately nothing that's fundamentally better, especially in areas that small speakers always struggle with, like bass response or volume.  If you're tight on budget, but flexible on size, you've got some interesting options like the Sony SRS-XB100, the Soundcore 3, or the JLab Go Party. Although the Go 4 is still a credible choice, especially if clear sound is more important to your than big sound.

I like my soundcore select go 4. Comparable size and custom eq. Sounds decent for the ~$22 on amazon

I have both the Soundcore Select 4 go and the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. If you need something louder(it’s really loud) with a bit better sound quality, the Stormbox Micro 2 is your best bet. I bought the Soundcore Select 4(TikTok shop for $10) and really like it. It gets decently loud and can fill up a quiet room to a good extent. The build quality is really nice and the water resistance works perfectly. I fully submerged it and it was fine(floats too). If you’re looking for something not too fancy then this is a good choice.

It'll be loud enough for him to hear it. However I'd suggest the Soundcore Select 4 Go. it's a bit bigger, cheaper, and better sounding IMO.

You're better off with the Soundcore Select 4 Go. It's half the price and sounds better IMO.

Soundcore select 4 go. Better sound and less expensive than the JBL tiny sized speakers. My Tribit stormbox micro fits in a big jacket pocket. The Micro 2 is often recommended around here.

Anything smaller than the select 4 go is going to sound like a loud cellphone. I think it will fit in most pockets and definitely cargo shorts. Price is great on these (pair of them for $40 @costco) I just got some on Soundpeats pearldrop (on-ear buds) for personal listening because my ears hate having stuff shoved in them. They sound pretty good and are very comfortable.

The 2 pack of the Soundcore Select 4 looked good too. The demo played them in stereo which looked really good.39.00 edited a typo

Regarding the items at Costco, the Bose Flex is likely the best sounding item. Soundcore's sound is of similar sound quality to JBL and Sony. The small Select 4 speakers do sound good. I think Costco is also selling the Boom 2 by Soundcore. I heard this item at Walmart. It is a good sounding baby boom box.

I own both speakers and JBL go 4 is smallest speaker compared to soundcore select 4 is little bit bigger in size

JBL Go 4 also has more bass also you can control bass on app compared to soundcore select 4

Got one for $15, best speaker in under $30 bracket.

Second this. The soundcore select 4 go is good, but it isnt NEARLY as good as the tribit stormbox micro 2

$20 is good enough for a small bathroom. Get soundcore select 4 go.

Decent but id rather buy soundcore select 4 go for the same price

I just received my Soundcore Select 4 Go and it sounds 25% louder than my iPhone and the bass is very deep and overall the sound quality is excellent. I like it and recommend it.

Yes just received mine and I really like it.

Considering you can get a Soundcore Select 4 Go for $20 (NEW), you'd miss out on a speaker with better sound quality and more volume than the JBL Go 4. The Soundcore Select 4 Go also has longer battery life. If it's available, you should check them out.

Cheapest & smallest = Soundcore Select 4 Go. Very good for $20. Best sounding & smallest: Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. Terrific for around $60. Other contenders include UBoom L, Bose Flex 2, Beats Pill 2024, etc.

OK. So around $60 U.S. is your budget. The Critic's recommendation is pretty solid. There's really no "best" version of any speaker at that price, and you've got a lot of choices. You could also pick up two Soundcore Select 4 Go speakers if they're available and stay under budget. Paired, they put out really good sound for their size, and provide decent stereo separation. I have a pair, and like them...

Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. Used. OR, Soundcore Select 4 Go NEW for $23. I have a pair, and for the money, they’re great.

Smaller and lighter than the Stormbox Micro 2 (I own a pair) isn't going to happen if you want anything approaching "listenable" sound. The JBL Go 4 is just "okay," but I think the Soundcore Select 4 Go is much better sounding (I also own one) for less cost.

I picked up my 4 Go from Amazon on a recent sale (Feb) for $19 in the purple and gold colourway. It's a groovy-looking little speaker, with impressive sound for its size and cost. I may buy another one just to see how they compare paired versus my pair of Storm Box Micro 2s. Basically, I can get a pair of 4 Gos for the price of one Stormbox Micro 2.

C2d8 is spot on, especially since most BT speakers also include an EQ, where you can reduce bass frequencies and boost mids and treble. I'd also include the Soundcore Select 4 Go. I picked up a pair of Amazon for $19/each. The EQ they have would allow you to kill all bass and mid-bass, if that's what you wanted.

Soundcore Select 4 Go. Two of them in stereo sounds really damn good with the right EQ for the price they are at. It's kind of insane.

In my experience, I see no noticeable latency. Even in TWS mode.

If you get the app and EQ it, you can make them sound leagues better with emphasis on whichever frequencies you'd like. I took them to work the other day and blasted Fleetwood Mac's live album The Dance in the office. They were great for that. Obviously they aren't going to have room shaking bass, but it's there and noticeable.

Sound-wise I'm disappointed in the Edifier. In comparison to my other speakers of this size the high end is very indistinct and mushy and the speaker sounds harsh overall. Bass is similar to others ie. of course barely present in a speaker of this size, but that is understandable. My other speakers of this size all sound better balanced overall and all have much clearer treble- Anker soundcore nano Mifa i8 EWA A106 The Edifier is a much more modern speaker, Bluetooth version is way more recent, USBC, clear controls and form factor are great. They would have really killed it if the sound was on a par with those above. Of course any step up in size from this tiny category and sound gets way better, but I'm kind of fond of this tiny size for podcasts etc.

I was wondering about that xiaomi the other day. It is a lot bigger then the speakers I'm talking about though. I have the itch to buy it also but I really don't have the need for another one of this size! I have the soundcore select 4 go which is fairly similar size, just a bit fatter. I also have an old Xiaomi mdz15-da which sounds lovely and refined at low volume. A stereo speaker but it's a bit outdated now in terms of Bluetooth connection and micro USB.

Probably the a106 is most balanced with best bass for that size, but I also like the mifa i8 for how clear it sounds without being tinny. But I rarely listen to them, they're just too small to sound really good and the battery is too small to last that long. Just a step up in size to say a tribit stormbox micro or a soundcore select 4go gives you so much better sound, Bluetooth range and battery life.

None of those sound good, they are all too tiny. If you want value for money, cheap and small but decent sound I would recommend the Soundcore Select 4 Go. If you are prepared to spend more then I'd recommend the Tribit stormbox micro 2, it does sound better but it's twice the price of the soundcore.

Soundcore Select 4 Go is better value but I quite like the GO4. It gets decently loud for it's size and sounds fine, plus it's a premium feeling design, super super portable, and just overall a well thought out product that's easy and convenient to use. The real magic happens when you get 2 to put in stereo though-- the soundstaging then is impressive for a portable speaker.
