Anker - Soundcore 2 (Upgraded)

The best soundcore you can afford. I’ve had the soundcore 2, boost upgraded, and motion plus. Two for true wireless stereo. I got two motion plus for 140 refurbished. They sound beautiful I think and are not bass heavy.

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..

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.

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).

Hell I didn't even add. I have a pair Soundcore Select 4 GO's, they are amazing little speakers, you dial in the eq in the app and pretty much dial in zero bass. They are great as a stereo pair, and have respectable bass if eq'd for it. I really like them as a stereo pair of extremely portable small good sounding speakers. They can get loud and still sound clean and clear when. You want it. But they don't have chest thumping bass. But there is enough bass to satisfy if you want it. Costco has them for $29.99 a pair right now. They go for around $25 for one on Amazon most of the time. Very good speakers and they sound great.

I have two bluetooth speakers, both from Anker: a SoundCore Boost that I mainly use in my kitchen and living room with my laptop as a soundbar (Laptop speakers are tinny); and a SoundCore 2 in the bedroom and upstairs bathroom / shower, connected to my phone.

My laptop and a Anker soundcore 2.0 Bluetooth speaker.

Slightly atypical question here—I’m looking for a Bluetooth speaker, but my problem in recent years has been that virtually all speakers now seem to come with subwoofers, which I find extremely uncomfortable (the thumping sensation hurts my ears). This results in having to turn bass way down when I pipe music through those speakers, which I don’t want to do! I love bass, I just can’t take the subwoofer thump/vibration. So, my question is: would anyone happen to know of a Bluetooth speaker that has OK bass but does _not_ include a subwoofer? I had an Altec Lansing Jacket H2O a while back that that was great for this (one of the older models, maybe 2 or 3) but unfortunately its waterproof claims turned out to be false, lol, so it died after I exposed it to humidity. I tried the H2O 4 more recently but it ended up having terrible crackling at the low end so I returned it and haven’t tried them again since then. The other Bluetooth speakers I’ve had are the Anker Soundcore 2 and Anker Soundcore 3, which unfortunately _do_ have really intense subwoofer (edit: any subwoofer lol) and are therefore not great for me. Any advice greatly appreciated!

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.

I can confirm the latency issues (i also have an anker soundcore 2 and its pretty useless with a SP404 MK2).

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.

I have one of these and it’s fine with an mpc one.

The best part about this speaker is size and battery life. The battery is insanely good
