Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker, 12W Stereo, Red

Got this for holidays, and it doesn't let you down. It's got a lovely sound from a small box, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Compact it is, but its quality and is a really good buy.

I bought a pair of these in the Black Friday offers - one for my daughter, and one for myself for listening to podcasts while pottering around the kitchen. It's very compact and feels solid with a decent heft to it. Finish is rubberised, and it claims to be splashproof, which I haven't tested, and the charge (micro USB) and 3.5mm aux port are hidden behind a rubber flap, which seems to produce a decent seal. Controls are straightforward - power, volume, play/pause button, and Bluetooth button. Long pressing the last puts it into pairing mode and it was easily picked up by our various devices. For sound quality, it's fine for something this size at this price point. You're not going to be replacing your B+W Nautilus with this, but that's not the point. There's a decent amount of volume on hand, though distortion creeps in probably around to 70-80% mark. For music, I find the bass a bit overdone and slightly muddy for my own taste, but for playing music out in the back garden or something, this is fine - again don't expect hi-fi at this price. For voice on the other hand, the bass is actually quite pleasant, giving a nice warm rich sound. Battery life seems fine, though I haven't tested it properly. All in all a fine little speaker, especially if you can pick it up for under £30 (it's usually £40, but the price seems to drop fairly regularly - Black Friday, Christmas, Prime day etc.)

Already have a red and a black one which have gone strong for 4 years! Got the stone one to match the bathroom renovation. Great sound, decent bass, long battery, nice on the eye and portable.

I’ve been using the Anker Soundcore 2 for a few weeks now, and overall I’m really pleased with it. The sound quality is excellent—clear highs, solid mids, and the BassUp feature genuinely adds a bit of punch without distorting things. For a speaker this size, it fills a room better than expected, and it’s easily loud enough for garden use or weekends away. Build quality is top-notch. It feels durable, the rubberised exterior gives it grip, and the waterproofing (IPX7) means I don’t worry if it gets splashed or rained on. Battery life is impressive too—I get well over a day of use before thinking about recharging. But here’s the frustrating bit: it doesn’t have track skip buttons. Just volume and power. No way to skip songs or go back without pulling out your phone. It’s such a basic feature that it feels like a real oversight.

Really enjoying this product, really quick setting up a new device to work with it, easy to throw in a bag or whatever to carry about. Bass isn't the best but the sound quality is high, especially at the price point. Also, what else do you expect for a "waterproof speaker". Battery life is good, no way you will get anywhere near 24 hours out of it, but I've had it going for around 12 hours before. The worst thing about this item is that when you try and turn the volume up when it is already at its maximum, it will cut the sound and make a beep to let you know that its already at the max, really annoying and no need for this as the volume buttons actually change the volume on your bluetooth device not the speaker itself. Obviously if you arent turning it up and down a lot this wont be an issue.

Super impressed with this little speaker. I already had my own bluetooth speaker from a 'well known' brand and my other half asked for one for her birthday. I've always been impressed with the Anker power packs so thought this was worth a shot, at least the battery life would be good. For about half the price I spent on my own speaker this unit is equally as good if not better. Its smaller for a start, seems to charge quicker and last longer and so far as the sound quality goes it's great and handles any type of music we play through it brilliantly. It's clear and crisp but not tinny with enough bass to give a full rounded performance. Plenty of volume for in the garden/kitchen or cranked up in a noisy classic car on a road trip. Because of the 'go anywhere' nature of these products we've tested its ruggedness on occasion and dropped it from standing height onto tarmac with no detrimental effects to it's performance at all. Great little speaker!

Excellent speaker small but powerful, ideal for the garden or holidays, well made and so easy to use.

For the price great quality sound, good quality design, easier to indication when it needs charging. Good bass and volume control is good and loud enough

Its a great bt speeker

Für den Preis einfach MEGA! Macht was es soll, Laufzeit ist super - wir sind zufrieden

Perfekt

Der Lautsprecher sieht sehr gut aus, ist leicht handelbar und gibt den Sound angenehm wieder. Die Akkulaufzeit ist auch sehr gut. Wenn man eine Box braucht, die man überall mit hinnehmen und kurzfristig nutzen kann, ohne dass man einen hoch professionellen Sound erwartet, dann erfüllt der Lautsprecher seinen Zweck.

Excelente sonido, relación precio del producto valor muy bueno, lo recomiendo 100%
