Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker with 12W Stereo Sound, BassUp, IPX7 Waterproof, 24-Hour Playtime, Speaker for Home, Outdoors, Travel

Great little speaker battery last ages and the base this little speaker puts is excellent. Overall sound is excellent and the build quality is brilliant, very robust. Would highly recommend if you are after a portable water proof speaker. Excellent value for money.

Bought this for my wife as a present. She's very happy as she can listen to her phone in the kitchen for her music and audio books. It means we've retired the CD Radio now making a lot of space on the worktop Its very easy to use - opened the box, turned on, opened Bluetooth on the phone and connected immediately with no issues. Its connected every time its turned on which is great I was amazed at how great the sound quality is from such a small device - very crisp and clear with just the right amount of bass. It can crank up the volume if needed and still keep a good sound as well Its really very small and surprisingly heavy. Its covered with what appears to be black rubber and I guess this gives a better level of robustness in normal use and provides the waterproofing (which we have not tested!), although marks don't wipe off that easily - I think because of the type of coating. Despite this coating the few buttons are easy to use and have a very clear and positive action and tactility We didn't charge it from first use and the battery lasted about 4 weeks of use which is quite impressive. The charging is via USB-C behind a pop-on cover to maintain the waterproofing In summary - very impressed

Really good value, very good sound, easy to use and each charge lasts for ages.

An ok speaker nice sound, long battery life Great for dirty dusty work use, I bought a second one so I could pair them up. Mine will. Not pair, pretty gutted. When money permits I will buy something bigger / louder

If you are after a Bluetooth speaker that delivers premium performance without the premium price tag, the Anker Soundcore 2 is a brilliant choice. It punches well above its weight, offering a blend of durability and audio quality that is hard to find elsewhere. Design & Usability The design is fantastically compact; it is small enough to slip into a rucksack or handbag, yet feels reassuringly solid with its grippy, rubberised finish. Plus, the IPX7 waterproof rating means it can handle the unpredictable British weather or a poolside splash without issue. Tech shouldn't be a hassle, and Anker understands this—the "connect and play" setup is virtually instant, maintaining a rock-solid Bluetooth connection throughout the house. Performance: Music & Work Audio performance is where it truly shines. The 12W output delivers surprisingly rich sound with punchy bass, making it perfect for your favourite playlists. Crucially, it doubles as an excellent tool for work; the built-in microphone ensures your voice is crystal-clear during conference calls, making working from home a breeze. Battery Life The standout feature, however, is the endurance. It boasts a massive 24-hour battery life. You can leave it cranked up to max volume for an entire garden party without needing to hunt for a charger. Verdict Considering the extremely competitive price, this speaker offers incredible value. For anyone needing a rugged, reliable all-rounder, the Soundcore 2 is simply a top-tier bargain.

I just couldnt resist at this price, I already have Sony speakers which I love, they are individual so you get the true stereo separation, but if I take them out to my shed they get covered in dust due to my DIY jobs. I have many Anker products and they have never let me down over many years use, so I didn't hesitate to purchase this speaker, I did read a number of reviews and they are mostly good. Its relatively tiny in size but surprisingly weighty, meaning it won't vibrate and bounce around when you turn up the volume. I actually kept the thin cover on it to protect it from dust in my shed, I tried it out listening to the football and some music and I was pleasantly surprised, it has a crisp, clear sound with an exceptable level of base at this size and price range. It fits neatly on one of my shelves and when I turned up the volume to almost full there was no distortion at all. The only thing I would change is the rather loud and daft sound it makes when you turn it on and off, who thought that was a good idea ?, just have a short beep please !, I will check the instructions to see if you can turn it off. Overall, I think its a great little speaker and fits my needs perfectly, it will also save my Sony speakers from getting damaged.

Fantastic bit of equipment!! I had originally purchased this to hook up to my phone and blasts the tunes out while rattling those pots & pans in the kitchen. But the first time I tried it I knew it wasn't meant for my phone....so it is now hooked up to my smart TV and I use it as a sound woofer speaker and blimey it does not disappoint!!. Very classy and smart looking speaker, I ordered the black one, and it just looks so slick & expensive. The sound quality is fab and I loved listening to my music, but as I mentioned earlier, I decided to hook it up to my smart TV and see how it sounded....over the moon with it, means you can place your little speaker anywhere in the roon while watching the tv. Best thing I have bought in a while. Fabulous speaker & sound quality.

Excellent volume and sound quality & extremely easy to use. Always connects on bluetooth, charge lasts a long time and easily portable. I run a dance school and own multiple of these. You can also connect one device to multiple speakers so increase volume further.
