A guy at my work has the go. My soundcore 2 smokes it in bulumr and bass and it's clear sounding. I use two of them together paired in stereo. For my needs it get the job done very well and sounds great.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Durability of Harman kardon Go & play 3 vs JBL Authentics 200 and Marshall Acton 3 ->Soundcore 2? I have two of them and they don't thump and aren't loud. They are great speakers but aren't beasts. My pair of Uboom L's are great and loud though..
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best speaker under 100$? Something I can hear and feel the bass of outside? And something loud! ->Uboom L ($50) or a pair of them if you want glorious stereo greatness. Soundcore 2 ($29) or Select 4 Go ($22) if you want to spend much. I have pairs of all three and love them all for different things.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Budget Speaker for the shower ->Not lightweight but the Soundcore 2 is a great speaker. I have two of them I run in stereo with my Fiio X1. Just enough bass to satisfy. They are crisp and clear with no distortion and loud enough to get the job don'e. I bought the silicone armor for them, they are well built and I can't complain for $27 each + the silicone armor which cost me around $12 each. Highly recommend. They are ipx7 and very well built, date I say rugged.. I work ay Costco and use them after closing. Many other people are playing huge loud speakers and I can still hear mine. 6 stars for the price.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Mini, Lightweight Speaker with better sound than a phone ->The best part about this speaker is size and battery life. The battery is insanely good
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Budget Speaker for the shower ->The smaller ones are alright for a room (I have the soundcore 1 and 2), but nothing great. Maybe it's just my hearing being shot, but I'll grab my m18 2952-20 if I'm gonna bring a speaker in to work. It'll last a 12 hour day on an xc5 with no problem
r/MilwaukeeTool • Bluetooth speakers... Milwaukee vs JBL vs Anker ->I use the Anker Soundcore 2. Works great, and fits perfectly on the dash between defog tube and the windshield.
r/UPSers • Bluetooth Speakers, Flip 6 or Charge 5? ->Weird, I just did a stereo test (YouTube) on my Soundcore 2, and it has stereo separation. Yes, some sound was bleeding through, but I think it's because of the size of the speaker.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Looking for recommendations: Travel-sized Bluetooth speakers with confirmed stereo separation ->Haven’t found one yet. Soundcore 2 has extremely strange fluctuating volume issues Bose Flex 2 is has too much trouble and sounds considerably worse than the Soundlink color 2, my favorite Bluetooth speaker to date. Why they changed the sound profile with the new one is beyond me. JBL Flip 6 also has too much treble and sounds tinny. I returned them all. The search continues
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Bluetooth Speaker 2025? ->if you're open to something cheaper that still holds up, you should look at the Anker Soundcore (the basic one) it's usually around 30-50. It's definitely not in the same league as higher budget ones in terms of loudness or bass, but it’s actually clean for the price, and battery life is insane (like 24hrs). I’ve used it at the park and beach without issues. If you’re leaning toward premium though, maybe check out the Tribute StormBox Blast. kinda slept on, but people say it punches above its weight. Here's some reading about the Anker Sound core [https://pluggedinpicks.com/anker-soundcore-bluetooth-speaker-review/](https://pluggedinpicks.com/anker-soundcore-bluetooth-speaker-review/)
r/EDM • Help me find portable speakers that have good volume and everything? ->I’ve been on the hunt for the best portable small speaker to pair with my POs and have ended up with a couple duds. Did some research and the best options for low latency seem to be the Marshall branded Bluetooth speakers and Minirig Bluetooth speakers. However, both being sort of pricey for this use case. Anyone have any recommendations? So far I’ve tried the JBL Go 2 and Anker Soundcore 2. Both were cheeks but for different reasons. JBL Go 2 has pretty low latency but the dsp effects volume in a weird way when hitting pads to record, play back, or test sounds. I almost thought my po33 gained velocity sensitivity out of no where 😂. Anker Soundcore 2 sounds much better but has pretty significant delay.
r/pocketoperators • Affordable low latency portable mini speakers to pair with Pocket Operators? ->I use a free white noise app with a small Bluetooth speaker (Anker Soundcore 2) running constantly whenever I’m home. I think you’ll find that (or a similar combo) is a better investment than any white noise machine. BTW - the Anker Soundcore 2 is marked down to $27.99 on Amazon, but only for a few more hours.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for a good portable white noise machine ->The Anker Soundcore 2 is a great budget-friendly option. It's waterproof, compact, and has a solid sound for the price.
r/BestBluetoothSpeaker • Best Bluetooth Speakers for Camping ->It’s impressive for the price! You get clear sound with decent bass, and it’s loud enough for most outdoor settings.
r/BestBluetoothSpeaker • Best Bluetooth Speakers for Camping ->Yes, it can last up to 24 hours, so you’ll be covered for an entire day of camping or hiking.
r/BestBluetoothSpeaker • Best Bluetooth Speakers for Camping ->It’s pretty lightweight and has a slim design, so you can easily throw it in your backpack without it taking up much space.
r/BestBluetoothSpeaker • Best Bluetooth Speakers for Camping ->\+1 Got an Anker Soundcore2 few years back and connected it with a cable to my Roland MV-1. And i had so much latency that it was unusable for live playing.
r/synthesizers • Small, Portable Speaker for Groovebox? ->The Anker Soundcore 2 is on sale right now on Amazon for $29 !!! It's a super great speaker and yes you will be able to hear it over a shower ! Read the reviews on it ! It's got outstanding reviews and it's one dollar under your budget !!!
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Budget Speaker for the shower ->Are you talking about the Anker Soundcore 2 ?
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Budget Speaker for the shower ->Super cool 😎. I'm glad you like it and glad I could help ! Enjoy it's a amazing little speaker !
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Budget Speaker for the shower ->What are you using for speaker? I travel with a small bluetooth speaker that size for constant hotel room travel use (Anker Soundcore 2) but the latency and slight delay of audio not matching lips/game sfx drives me crazy quickly. Even when connected with aux cable and USB power it is way off. I would love to find a small portable bluetooth battery powered type speaker with zero latency when using aux cable or even bluetooth(i found bluetooth is worse than aux on the Anker). Small size is important, I want it as light and compact while as good sounding as possible.
r/battlestations • My new PC setup ->The anker soundcore line is my go to. Just be sure to check that it has aux in (some of the line do some don’t) I use the Soundcore 2 and the Motion+ Super affordable and sound fantastic
r/synthesizers • Cheaper alternatives to the Teenage Engineering OB-4 speakers? ->I have this speaker (next previous gen) and 2 Ankers. Comparing this speaker and the Soundcore 2, the Anker is louder but the sound quality is definitely better on the JBL. Clarity, good highs, better bass. The JBL is well and truly waterproof. One day I was kayaking along and I wondered what that odd burbling sound next to me was. Well it was the Go 3, at the end of it's tether, merrily burbling along next to the kayak. That was a couple of years ago and it's still going strong. The downside of the JBL is that if you use it outdoors a lot, the rubber lettering will fall off. Mine's missing the L, the !, and soon the B. Still sounds great.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Pocket (mini) Size Portable Speaker for Outdoor Use? ->Thats probably the one i use. I want a louder one for working with louder tools.
r/Packout • M12 Packout Jobsite Speaker Review ->i use anker soundcore with my digis. works well enough and good price.
r/synthesizers • Small, Portable Speaker for Groovebox? ->Ok if you are looking for smaller and portable Bluetooth I have the anker sound core. Which sounds ok and is battery powered and the ikea eneby. Also not bad but not in the same league as the ik multimedia.
r/Elektron • Digitakt Portable Speaker Options ? ->Headphones or an Anker sound core haha
r/BudgetAudiophile • What's your mobile rig? ->It's a tiny Bluetooth speaker, their best selling iirc called the sound core. I got it for $20 and it sounds good for it's size. Not audiophile but it gets the job done
r/BudgetAudiophile • What's your mobile rig? ->I just got the soundcore and it is insane for $22. It just sounds great and has good battery life
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Pocket (mini) Size Portable Speaker for Outdoor Use? ->The Soundcore is great for its size and price.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Looking for a small waterproof speaker around $20 -$25 ->JBL and Sony one was so shit, I bought them for my bicycle. I bought a bigger anker soundcore and it's amazing
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Looking for a compact speaker to put on my belt ->Try the sound core for sure
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best portable Bluetooth speaker to Buy? ->I've had more luck with Anker's Soundcore line than any of the 'premium' brands
r/BuyItForLife • What's the best quality bluetooth speaker you've ever tried? ->This. Got mine for $50 from Walmart like 14 years ago and the thing refuses to die. It’s been knocked off the shelf by the cat at least a hundred times now too. The sound is decent enough (not amazing but not tinny or severely lacking in low ranges) and it’s supposedly waterproof, though I’ve never tested that. The pairing is reliable and has worked with at least a dozen devices, which is more than I can say for a lot of Bluetooth devices I’ve used. Anker just makes solid stuff.
r/BuyItForLife • What's the best quality bluetooth speaker you've ever tried? ->Anker sound core. Going strong after 10 years, insane battery life still.
r/BuyItForLife • What's the best quality bluetooth speaker you've ever tried? ->I have an Anker Soundcore speaker that we use outside all the time but it's pretty large and would hate to lug it around for work. It's awesome so was looking at some of their smaller ones.
r/MilwaukeeTool • Bluetooth speakers... Milwaukee vs JBL vs Anker ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
