The EarFun UBOOM X has slightly deeper bass and better overall audio quality than the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus. Tribit StormBox Lava and Soundcore Boom 2 are both one size and performance class below the other two.

Just ordered a Boom 2 + so I’m glad to hear that at least I didn’t waste my money. It was a hard sell between it and the 2, I went with the + based on the reviews on Amazon but still kept second guessing myself.

Beautiful, I got it for when I’m working on my truck or wood and for chilling in the hot tub or bath so it sounds like this is exactly what I was looking for as I won’t even need to crank it up real loud. Many thanks, you have assuaged most of my worries.

The soundcore boom 2 is 45hz. The soundcore boom 2 plus is larger, but is 40hz.

The boom 2 is amazing for its size, but of course the boom 2 + is much louder

I was Gifted the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus this past Christmas and, thus far, it has had well reception from my friends and family. That being said, have you heard about the JBL Bandbox Trio that is currently accepting Pre-Orders? It’s been tempting, but I might just get the Solo given I have the Boom 2 Plus and it serves its purpose…at least,for now. Best of luck and happy hunting!

I have a sound core boom 2 plus and x20 yeah the x20 can get louder but the sound quality does not compare. Even the bass at lower volumes sound core is much better. JBL sounds better at higher volume than the boom 2 plus and x20 but soundcore sounds great for the price and the lights are a nice bonus.

Boom 2 plus latest firmware custom eq is a great speaker. Anyone trashing it does not have one. The boom 2 is not the same as the boom 2 plus.

There both pretty loud but a plus definitely delivers the bass.

Just got the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus and it’s great. Bit huge but it’s the only version with an aux and it’s loud enough for busking. Low end sounds great on it, there’s a bass boost that’s a bit much but sounds nice.

Idk about charge 5 but have a boom 2 plus…it’s meh. I guess for a Bluetooth speaker it be considered good. You can at least hear the bass but also hear the lyrics quite well as well. It isn’t drowned out
