soundcore - Boom 2 SE

Currently have the SE version and picked it up today. Didn’t know it was a thing. What in particular is wrong about it?

Soundcore boom 2 will not disappoint. I do own one and it’s got bass it’s loud it’s something you can pump your fist too. But right now you can get the skull candy barrel XT for 80 at Walmart. I own one of them too and for 80 dollars you can’t beat it. If you wait to long it may go back to 170 dollars and for that price it’s a no go in my book. If you miss out on the XT get the boom2 but do not buy a boom 2 at Walmart it looks the same but its internals are completely different. In other words it sucks.

The SE model is 30 watts, and has no lights, and the speaker set up is completely different. Apparently with Walmarts buying power. They wanted a boom 2, but wanted it dirt cheap. So they got the SE. Then sometime later you could get it free at the Verizon stores. Its speaker set up is the same as the motion boom but doesn’t sound near as good, and that speaker is usually 60 bucks on sale on Amazon. The real boom 2 is 80 watts has a woofer and tweeter set up plus lights in the passive radiators. It’s got the bass! Also both sold for the same price. I have here lately seen the SE heavily reduced. I really like jamming out to it, but I guess there are a few that don’t like it. It gets loud as heck too.

Titles says it. Big Bladee listener here and want a good bluetooth speaker for this type of music (multi layered, sample & melody heavy) I bought a Soundcore Boom 2 SE and already returned it. Couldn’t hear a majority of the layers in the music as opposed to when listening with headphones. Sounded so muddy. (Should I have played with the EQ settings?) Thx for your expertise. If you aren’t familiar with Bladee or that type of music then need not reply :) [EXAMPLE TRACK 1](https://youtu.be/2pQ8HyuTwOg?si=CkOcbFTVlxXZxRAQ) [EXAMPLE TRACK 2](https://youtu.be/eQpQtg0JE-8?si=HqMmCxJTGy2kPQUq)

soundcore boom 2 is a basshead's bt speaker imo dont have to spend 400 sheesh

probably the best price to performance value boom box imo. btw dont listen to that other dude all he does is shill that same speaker on every post

out of your choices, the boom 2 is the most portable. small enough to pack into a backpack but still loud af with good bass. if portability isnt an issue than go for the boom 2 + since it has the most output.

i got the boom 2 bc it fits my specific needs of fitting on an expedit shelf (less than 12" wide) and backpack-able. it is my car stereo replacement and i take it to and from my car every day. i couldnt imagine doing this with a larger speaker.

i would just get a soundcore boom 2 and place it the passenger seat. dont put stuff on ur dash thats a driving hazard imo

i mentioned boom 2 bc it can get LOUD and overpower the road noise inside your car. youll hear a  smaller speaker but with the ambient noise youll barely hear the bass. limitations of a smaller speaker.

avoid the SE version. thats the walmart nerfed version down to 30w instead of the 80w that boom 2 has. check your local verizon store its on sale.

Earfun Uboom L does. And it's a badass little speaker. And two of them in stereo is pretty impressive. Plenty of volume, great highs and mids and more than enough bass to get the job done well. They aren't bass monsters but they don't lack it either. I have a few sets of speakers and they are well loved, especially for he price. My Soundcore Boom 2 isy favorite right now, but only because of it's loud clear bass. Uboom L are very good speakers. They are super clear at low to medium volume, but they still hold it together at max volume. They don't distort and still sound good.

The soundcore boom 2 is legit. I use it daily in a FedEx truck, it’s loud, sounds good, has excellent bass and great battery life.

Hey could you elaborate on the 3d surround thing with your phone. Also got a boom 2 and sounds the same, no mids but decent bass

I can only speak for owning mostly soundcore gear and its done me super well. $80 ish motion+ still slaps years later with EQ bass is better than my friends pricier speakers indoor and outdoor sofar. I has good projection and a wide directionally. I haven't experience 180° (or 360°) speakers. Also a big fan of soundcore boom 1 and boom 2. Biased fan boy I've only heard 1 tribit speaker years ago that was much smaller and I didn't get to fiddle with EQ for whatever reason

If you own the boom 2, try getting another boom 2 and pair it? I think that if you own a working boom 2 right now, then that's the most bass you will get with $150 possible (2 paired together) Also make absolutely sure you're trying out different custom EQs. My boom and boom 2 sounded LIFELESS before EQing

Ah fair enough! Yeah I havnt ventured into any options for the next size up. I do think the boom 1 and 2 are really special for their size, with the right eq and song it still blows my mind, but I'm glad that the bigger ones are in fact putting out real work. I havnt paired 2 boons myself actually, it was just random advice since he wants more bass for $150, and I think he already has one of them. It does sound like he'd be better off saving a little more money and shopping out larger models at the $180-$250 range, cus idk what will make him much happier than the boom 2 for $150 rn (that's really worth the difference over Boom 2 I mean)

Just got one from costco today, and as someone who DIY small speakers I'm 100% certain that either you got a dud or you're hearing it wrong. The only problem for me is the stock soundcore signature profile makes treble sound weird, turning that off (going to custom eq and leave it flat) alleviate this issue. There's a decent amount of mid, though stereo separation for it is absent (cause of course the singular racetrack driver is in charge of bass to mid).

The sound core boom 2 matches what I need and has amazing reviews thank you for the suggestion I have a pair of skull candy headphones so I’m familiar with the eq settings
