"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 ->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.
