"I use it on a construction site clipped on to my tool belt so it’s pretty much perfect"
"I am now solely using a Instago 3S right now due to the just compact size and weight. ... I am mostly shooting FPV sports for small segements and I don't even realize I'm wearing it on my hat."
"I settled for the Insta360 Go3s which allows me to record discreetly while leaving my hands free. ... Now I just place the tiny 4k camera on my cap and record my POV in my travels."

"insane battery ... in the morning it's still not drained - and this is on a 6 year old set with worn out batteries. ... The case only needs charged once, maybe twice a month"
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."
"the battery life is phenomenal, it lasts over 10 hours (14-16 for me i think?)"

"I found the live beam 3's on sale on Amazon for 129! ... For the price, I don't think I'd find better."
"An S8 would be great for vacuuming your rugs and carpets ... For $350, my two S8s are very hard to beat! ... Almost all of the ones I thought vacuumed, very, very well have been discontinued except for the S8. ... If a Mova V50 can do 80% as well as our cheap S8s I would be pleased!"
"Overall I think these are super impressive especially for the price. ... These could be bargain of the year.. I'm very happy so far with them"

"Even Oneplus hass Tighter And powerful bass but still Produce better instrument Details and seperate Than Both of this Realme Buds. ... The bass on the Oneplus side is Awesome 👍 👍 You Can't Achive that Tighter and Depp bass on this both Realme buds werher you use External or Internal Equalizer doesn't matter ... I really liked this Oneplus Sound"
"I simply love the sound of the Zenith. ... I really feel it should've & could've costed three times as much. ... It easily replays as well as many +$100 single DD sets. ... A very clean sound, wonderfully balanced, no part if the spectrum is the main focus. The timbre is great too. ... I am very impressed at what KZ was able to do at such a cost."

"And i had so much latency that it was unusable for live playing."
"Anker Soundcore 2 sounds much better but has pretty significant delay. ... Yea that’s my problem I’m getting latency and other weird problems even with line on the speakers I’ve tried and it’s definitely driving me nuts 😂 ... Yea I’m using line in and the dsp on the speakers I mentioned above are still causing a lot of issues whether it’s latency or other even through aux. ... Yea I think Anker speakers are a dud for this use case"
"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 found bluetooth is worse than aux on the Anker."

"they don't thump"
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 ->I second this. I've had the Soundcore 2 at my office desk for about four years now and still works wonders. A couple office mates have the same speaker and have them connected to each other so we can listen together. Been using it basically every weekday for 8 hours for four years straight.
r/BuyItForLife • The best bluetooth speaker worth buying now? (sound quality and portability) ->I have two of the soundcore speakers for stereo sound and they are awesome. Use them outside and on the beach and the screens have some rust on them but the sound is still great. Only had them 4 years and no problems.
r/BuyItForLife • The best bluetooth speaker worth buying now? (sound quality and portability) ->Thats probably the one i use. I want a louder one for working with louder tools.
r/Packout • M12 Packout Jobsite Speaker Review ->I wouldn't use it for any proper monitoring or mastering, but the Anker Soundcore 2 is a great value, has a 3.5mm stereo aux input, and decent sound. Very handy for using my SeqTrak, and much better than SeqTrak's terrible little speaker. Soundcore 3 is nicer, but sadly doesn't have the aux input.
r/synthesizers • Small cheap portable speaker for synths (with jack input) ->i use anker soundcore with my digis. works well enough and good price.
r/synthesizers • Small, Portable Speaker for Groovebox? ->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 ->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? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
