For something small and relatively cheap, the quality of the audio is really good, not tinny at all like you get with other small speakers. Battery power is great as well, would highly recommend!
i love this little speaker and am so excited that i decided to get it.
I will be honest, when it comes to ANYTHING with a wire, i have the worst luck and things never work for me, even when i buy brand new things.
The ONLY thing that swayed me to buy this actual speaker is a review of it that a young man uploaded on here, it was a short video review.
And i thought it looked simple enough that even i could use it so i got 1.
It is so easy to use, it connected to my bluetooth with ease and seems to charge really well.
I like the actual feel of the speaker and i love the sound quality. I have not tried it on full volume yet but even so, i can still hear it clearly when i am at the back of my garden and the speaker is still at my house.
I have not had any problems with the bluetooth connection at all, and it even has good base.
Another thing i love about this speaker is that you do not need to download any apps at all.
It is so easy to move it from room to room which may not seem like much but if you had had my last speaker, you would understand why i am valuing even the little things!
it is defo worth the money, i love this speaker so much
I produce music on my home setup (not with these though), so I know a decent speaker when I hear one. I use this speaker as a ‘go to’ everyday speaker to play music on or to use as a soundbar on my tv, given how portable it is. Given its a small speaker, it’s not a ‘party speaker’ where you need more power and boom. This thing does have a surprisingly good amount of volume and power though given its size. This is ideal for home listening or out in the garden or the beach by the side of you as you sunbathe or for close proximity listening. The sound on this thing sounds more premium than the price suggests and even the low end is very good…but its not particularly heavy on bass either…which is what I didn’t want because i prefer a more compact accurate clean sound rather than a boomy pimped up hi fi sound because i find it annoying if i just want to relax and have an ear pleasing non instrusive sound. Id say the sound is punchy and warm with a good balance and range, whilst the look of the speaker is great and looks very elegant and feels nice, given its rubbery shell
Update
Actually these speakers, as a pair, are very very good. The sound is so crisp, the speakers are super easy to connect and are faultless. For the price I’ve upgraded from 4 stars to 5
This second edition is just as good if not better as it has a type C charging port not a micro charging port.
The clarity of sound is excellent, the battery lasts for what feels like an eternity.
It is built solidly and comes with a charging wire ( you will need a plug )
For something so small the volume is very Impressive.
It is so handy to take away with you, listen to music in the bathroom or as I do, in the garden Wifi permitting.
I have nothing negative to say about this.
It is more than reasonably priced and I know it is durable as my older one is still working the same as it was when I first bought it.
This is definitely the bluetooth speaker to buy if you are looking for durability, longevity, great performance, and small enough to take anywhere with you.
10/10. 100%. 5 stars.
No complaints.
A great product that in this day and age it seems things aren’t built to last, this little gem certainly is.
You won’t be disappointed.
The sound quality is impressive, with strong bass and crisp highs, making it perfect for both music and podcasts. It’s also waterproof, so you can use it by the pool or at the beach without worry. The battery life is fantastic, lasting up to 24 hours on a single charge.
Compact and durable, this speaker is ideal for outdoor adventures or just enjoying music around the house. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable portable speaker!
I got left behind with MP3 players. “What, 2,000 songs, on this teeny thing? Nahhh”. Technology is always evolving – it was all-kinds of wonderful, not having to cart spare batteries & 10 cassette tapes around! When you were born in a far-distant land of tinny headphones (that my sister & I used to put in a metal bin in our room, so that we could both hear it), something like this Anker Soundcore 2, is beyond marvellous. I only got sound like this before, from my old Sony Hi-Fi speakers, powered by a beefy amplifier – which, of course, you couldn’t take out to the park with you. Now, as well as enjoying everything from Classical to House music on this speaker, playing movies on YouTube is a great new experience – it is immersive. Before, even with my laptop at full volume, on too many videos, I strained to hear the audio. Those days are GONE.
As another reviewer stated, it really does show up greasy paw-prints. I use Dettol Antibacterial Wipes in Lime & Mint for a great many things – they clean this up well, too. I’ve found it best, to just let it dry, though – as when using anything to dry it off with, for some inane & incomprehensible reason, it will only necessitate another clean. I didn’t worry about how wet the wipes are, because it’s waterproof. The rubber bung, on one side, that well-protects the charging & auxiliary ports, neatly tucked away in there side-by-side, will only do so, if it is firmly engaged in its housing. Other, much smaller Bluetooth speakers, I’d never dared to use when in the shower. So, this is going to be a luxury – although, I won’t be splashing it with & most definitely not immersing it in water, knowing that the steam won’t harm it, is a smile-inducing thought.
My only issue is the Bluetooth – it can be temperamental. Certainly, if I’ve forgotten to switch Bluetooth off on my ‘phone, it won’t connect to my laptop. But, often, I have to switch Bluetooth off, then on again, a few times, to get it to connect. Still, I got it for a bargain-price in a flash-sale, I’d not have bought it otherwise & I’m so glad I did. The battery-life is as impressive as the sound. I charged it fully when it got here; occasional use over the last few weeks & it still has 50% left, even though, on many occasions, I forgot to disconnect & switch it off. It does that itself, after a period of about 10 minutes inactivity. It’s just the most maddening, infuriatingly-uncooperative Bluetooth, that had me knock a star off. It is an otherwise-perfect bit of kit.
Was smaller than I’d imagined, but WHOAH, does this thing pack a punch. Loud with minimal distortion. Battery life excellent, sound quality so much better than the Goodmans unit it replaced.
I am more than happy with this for the money paid, I haven’t done blue tooth as I’m old fashioned and connect my walkman with a cable but seriously happy for the size, this reproduces listenable pleasant audio quality enough for my needs.
Great speaker for the money. Very loud for its size, pairing via Bluetooth is easy and sound quality is once again great for its size.
We have used this for well over and year and even regularly use in the bathroom when having a shower and have had no issue or reduction in sound volume or quality
Would 100% purchase agai
This is the fourth Anker blue tooth speaker that members of our family have purchased in the past three years or so. Their performance in both sound quality and volume has astounded us. We have no hesitation in recommending this excellent speaker system to anyone who is considering buying one. RWC
Good:
Sound quality: The Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker delivers clear, crisp sound with decent bass. It produces a well-balanced sound profile that is suitable for a variety of genres.
Features: The Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker features a variety of useful features, including IPX7 waterproof, 24-hour playtime, wireless stereo pairing, and BassUp technology.
Portability: The Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker is small and lightweight, making it easy to take with you wherever you go. It also has a built-in strap that allows you to hang it from a backpack or hook.
Battery life: The Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker offers up to 24 hours of playtime on a single charge, which is impressive for a speaker of its size.
Durability: The Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker is IPX7 waterproof, which means it can withstand being submerged in up to 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes. This makes it a great option for use outdoors or in wet environments.
Value: The Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker is a great value for the price. It offers a good balance of sound quality, features, and value.
Bad:
Some users have reported that the speaker can be a bit muddy at higher volumes: This is a common issue with small speakers, especially those with a bass boost function. If you find that the bass is too muddy at higher volumes, you can try adjusting the EQ settings or turning down the bass boost.
Some users have reported that the speaker can be a bit harsh on the high frequencies: This is another common issue with small speakers. If you find that the highs are too harsh, you can try adjusting the EQ settings or turning down the treble.
Some users have reported that the speaker can be a bit loose when attached to a backpack or hook: This is likely due to the fact that the speaker is designed to be lightweight and portable. If you are concerned about this, you can try using a carabiner or other attachment method to secure the speaker more tightly.
Some users have reported that the speaker can be a bit difficult to pair with Bluetooth devices: This is a common issue with Bluetooth speakers, but it is usually resolved by restarting both the speaker and the Bluetooth device.
Some users have reported that the speaker can be a bit buggy with certain Bluetooth devices: This is also a common issue with Bluetooth speakers. If you are experiencing problems with your speaker, you can try updating the firmware or contacting Anker customer support.
Overall:
The Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker is a good option for people who are looking for a small, portable speaker that offers good sound quality and features. It is a great value for the price and is sure to please most users.
Sounds really good. Easy to set up and good battery life. Looks good and is obviously convenient to move around. We got it for garden use but use it around the house also
Great sound and great portability. The only let down was the micro usb port which is being phased out. I wish it had a usb c port instead which is the industry standard nowadays.
Love the sound, the longer battery life, small in size light weight easy to carry. Can use it anywhere, simple to use and connect. Connects to phone tablet and computer! Great for the garden and camping, I have one in my car all of the time. Good price.
Recommended to me by a work colleague. Wanted one to play music during overnight shifts, so I’m not constantly wearing headphones. Was after something compact, but also powerful enough to use for a sound system running dance/fitness classes, and it’s perfect! Powerful built in bass, and clear sound quality. Highly recommended!
Arrived really quickly and has a good sound, long battery life and easy to connect to devices. if your looking for a reasonable speaker at a good price I would definitely buy one of these
Holds battery well, connection is hassle free and the performance is great for not intense home use. Well done for the price. The thing I don’t love about this is I find it a bit heavy, but still recommend as a primary speaker for daily enjoyment.
Ashamed to say i got the product via a youtube channel, my old sound bar sadly died the death.
Not much to say about it really, its sleek in appearance.
It connects easy enough
Sound is OK, does what it says on the tin
Battery seems to last too
Saw a review of this on YouTube and needed something small but powerful for movie nights outdoors. Less that 30 quid and the sound is great which easily can fill a room indoors and a garden outdoors. Waterproof so can handle a bit of rain outdoors and easy to set up. 24hr battery life was a big plus too as my Goodmans speaker barely has 4 hours before it conks out.
Tidy little speaker that packs a punch at a very reasonable price.
Nice looking Bluetooth speaker. Well made and robust. Easy to set up and pair. Impressive sound considering the cost. Looses a bit on the bass, but overall far better sounding than I expected from a budget item.
I have a Sound core mini which is fantastic for its size. The Sound core 2 is so much better with more wattage and overall is superior. My only reason for giving it a 4 rating is it lacks an sd card slot so I can only play music from my phone. ie utube, Spotify and Amazon.
Apart from that I am very satisfied.
I’ve got this in the bathroom to provide a soundtrack to my showers. I don’t use it all the time, but its battery has held up well. Sound quality’s good, it’s nice and loud, the bass isn’t gonna be causing your walls to vibrate or anything but it’s acceptable. It was worth it for me.
I purchased it quite some time ago, I generally use it from time to time upstairs to stream music from the phone to the speaker for a fairly good quality sound suitable for a bedroom etc. The bass and treble have to be adjusted on your device. I have not tried the SD Card or Auxilliary function, but if you are looking for something small, but powerful (and not tinny sounding), then this could well fit the bill…
Awesome. Battery life one of the bests in the market (5400 mh) it lasts days! It is sturdy and stylish. Sound is deep and clear. Connectivity is impressive, you just pair it and every time you turn it on it literally takes a second to connect, never disconnects. I was looking at other models because I wanted a rose gold one or a white one and finally got this again in black (have another one blue) because I simple could not find any other better in the same price range. Let’s see if I don’t buy a third one LOL
I was sceptical about the audio quality from a speaker of this size, but it really does sound great both inside and outside. Loud and clear.
Battery life seems to last ages as well which is a bonus.
Good clear sound, good battery, fast charging. Speaker is connected with my laptop whole day, around 12 hrs a day. Charging every second/3ed day. Long life battery. One star less because of distance. Speaker should be close to laptop/phone otherwise lost connection. Probably speaker is waterproof but I didn’t try and I don’t even want … I can recommend, if you looking for something cheaper with good quality sound.
For the price and compactness of this Bluetooth speaker, the sound is very impressive. Music is punchy and detailed; I heard elements of tracks that I had missed prior. Bass is good but doesn’t overwhelm. It was a replacement for a similarly sized and priced Tribit (decent, if a little lacklustre, sound – lacking in punch – but more importantly, refused to connect to my phone after only a day’s usage) and a Notabrick, which was just awful (reedy sound that was almost impossible to listen to). Thankfully, I returned both and settled on this. I have Anker earbuds too, and it has to be said, this budget brand really do concentrate on sound quality – and overwhelmingly succeed. If your budget is somewhat limited, and you need a small-ish bluetooth speaker, you cannot go wrong with this piece of kit.
Bought to listen to music in the shower and is excellent. Dent base and sound especially for the price! Works great when using for Teams meetings (not in the shower!) Bluetoothed to laptop.
I still can’t get my head round the price, when you consider the cost of some others, which probably don’t sound a lot different. I happily recommend it.
I only got this as it had so many reviews. Easy to connect and if you are actually usuing it to connect to your phone or take to a park then look no further ticks all boxes. Personally i feel there is not much bass at all at higher volume but the reason i purchased this is because my wirless tv speaker stopped working so was looking for a cheap alternative. I could not afford a tv speaker so opted for this to use at night so works for me. Only reason 4 star as it makes a loud super annoying start up noise. Leaves greasy stains when touching while eating yummy greasy food.
Have had a handful of Bluetooth speakers in the past and this is a great mid priced speaker. Easy to charge, connect and set up and gives great quality sound. Nice volume level, and a chunky bit of kit that feels sturdy. Would recommend

Being a small speaker it did not expected such a great sound. but it really impressed me.
great whenever i go out for parties or just to listen to in garden, My friends like it also they also ordered it.
also for the DIYer in the shed or doing projects outside , very robust.
Such a good sound with bass. sound clearity is excellent.
Battery time is also very good. Highly recommended
Just wanted more volume from my laptop. Does the job.
Can’t believe so much sound can come
from a small box.
Surprisingly good sound at a very reasonable cost. Battery has a good life
For the price it’s a steal. Rugged feel and definitely weatherproof. Sound is great mid volume. Not tried it outside to max but has a great Bluetooth range and does the job it was bought for.
Sound quality is excellent and it looks very sleek and smart. Bought as Christmas present husband and we are very pleased.
Charging cable could do with being a bit longer so doesn’t have to hang from plug socket
Apart from that a nice speake
Great sound for small gatherings, indoor and outdoor use. Louder than I thought it would be. Bought for my daughter who has used it in the garden with friends and even in the shower. Battery life is good too!
Sound quality, very good, small enough to slip in a bag
It was a present,and it was received very well. Easy to use,no problems with Bluetooth and sound is very clear and can be very loud,so all excellent! And as some reviews said that bass is too dominant,it is so for us.
Perfect size for travelling.
I was bought one for Xmas as a present a few years ago but everyone seems to like it so I bought 2 as presents for Xmas this year. Great sound and you can take it outside as it’s Bluetooth and it’s waterproof. Charging is no problem it’s lasts for ages.
Great product I highly recommend i
Its quite a good product for its price. Impressive sound quality.
I have owned one of these for 3 or 4 years. I wouldn’t be without it. I’ve recently introduced my 86 year old Mum to podcasts and have bought another for her. Very simple to connect, portable and excellent sound quality for the price.
One thing I will say is I’ve shut it in sliding van door twice and the only damage it took was denting the metal mesh on the front. Still plays fine no messed up speakers!
Amazing little device. Volume is great and small enough to take it anywhere.
Firstly, oh it’s waterproof.
It went in the Birmingham canal….and was still playing whilst under water.
Great indoor speaker.
Outdoor, I’d upgrade. Still with Anker but definitely more wattage needed.
Bought it in the sale, so definitely a keeper.
Had I paid full price, I’d of sent it back but ONLY because I need an outdoor wattage.
Nice sound for a little box and reasonable volume too. good value
East to pick up and carry. Nice size for handling. Not too big.
Brilliant sound quality loads of base and last for hours what more do you want. Bargain!
Size is really handy and the sound quality is very good
Tried this out with my echo 2. Had a problem trying to disconnec
I use the soundcore to play music thoughout the night at low level. Sound quaity is really good and the battery lasts all night too. Also pertty easy to pair with your device. Can’t complain.
Amazing little device. Plenty of volume and small enough to take it anywhere. Charge using your car / van usb port and its ready to play your favourite music or audio book whatever job you’re doing.
The sound and bass is much better than expected for the price, I have it plugged in to my monitor via aux ad work perfectly, I’ve not tried Bluetooth yet but when I do will update the review otherwise I’m very happy with the speake
Great product at an affordable price.
Sound quality great too
I bought this item with measured expectations. Can’t say I was overly impressed or extremely underwhelmed. The sound quality is decent, same as the bass. The product is good value for money.
Not as bassy as the Soundcore boost but for the price can’t complain. Its a good speaker for if you want louder music but not too much bass.
Had a Anker speaker previously and it was great. That one got lost so bought this Anker Soundcore 2 and it’s excellent. Can’t fault it. Robust, looks good and sounds great, all round really good value. Would recommend!
Very happy with this – excellent sound from a very competitively priced produc
It’s a solid little speaker and gives out a good sound. The bass is surprisingly good, an all round cheap and very cheerful speaker. Unsure about the waterproofing but it’s left in the bathroom and still no problems
Using this as a speaker for our small kitchen TV has been a real improvement in the sound.
Cheaper option to a JBL but very much the same in quality. Great sound, feels sturdy and is really good for the price. I ve bought one for work and work in heavy engineering but the volume is good. I ll probably buy a second for round the house
Two years later the speaker is still going strong, we have not any issues considering we put it through its paces. The sound quality of the speaker hasn’t degraded at all over the time neither has the battery life.
If I was to find one fault it would be the length of the charging cable, it is tiny. Although this is not a deal breaker.
Would 100% recommend.
I needed to replace my old portable speaker which no longer worked after falling from a great height.
Having looked at the reviews I decided to purchase this model.
I’m very impressed and being waterproof is an added bonus, to those of us who enjoy listening to music, whilst being outdoors.
Took this on holiday to use around the pool, great sound quality and tough construction for something so compact. Would definitely recommend.
The customer service is outstanding
After purchasing several Anker products I definitely can confirm the build quality is as expected of usual Anker standard.
A very high quality finish that looks and feels great.
Battery power seems to be decent and lasts a fair bit of time with a full charge.
The only problem is at higher volumes the sound just disappears.
At low volumes the quality is brilliant and sounds very good, but as you turn it up it seems to just get tinnier.
For the size and price it’s good for a small room of quiet background music.
For a outdoor party box, it doesn’t cut i
I am a music teacher travelling between schools and I needed a speaker that could deliver high qulaity sound loud enough to fill a large room. This does the job beautifully. I bought it for work but will use it around the home too.
It’s not bad. If anything the sound on it is pretty good but not as loud as I’d have hoped. I think it is probably quite reasonable for the cost but I’d recommend spending a pretty penny for something a little louder and with slightly better quality. The bass on this isn’t terrible but it is a bit farty. I compared it to my friends Sony speaker and his quality was a lot smoother.
As someone with a “buy cheap, buy twice” attitude, I’ve always bought high price items when choosing something to play my music. I first bought one of these and was so impressed I bought another the next day to pair to so I can have sound in stereo in my campervan. I currently have one each side of my head and the sound quality is astonishing. I actually feel I can jump into the music and join in with the artist. This sounds easily as good as my Apple EarPods. I’d rather have four of these paired together than one Bose any day of the week.
Excellent choice for the price tag on this.
I was impressed with it once I was turned on.
You cannot go wrong having in mind the price. Highly recommended! Sound quality good & battery life!
This product had pretty good sound for its size. It’s easy to set up. I use it to play music and radio apps on my phone. It is excellent.
This is a great little speaker – very punchy sound, a little too bassy for my liking but that’s what EQ is for. Fantastic when listening at reasonable volumes, it can be decent when loud but will distort when trying to go too loud which is expected due to its size.
I’m happy to find that it is better than I expected it to be. I’m considering buying a second one.
I purchased this to use in the bedroom at night. It’s connected to an old mobile phone which is running my Calm App. The bluetooth connects immediately and the sound is very good when listening to either Sleep Stories (spoken words) or any number of the calming sounds (ocean waves, whales, raindrops etc).
The only 2 things I would change is:
1. the tiny light on top when its on is bright enough in a pitch black room, so I need to put a sock over it to cover it
2. the “blleeurrp” noise it makes when you turn it on. A couple times I’ve woken during the night and its switched itself off (as it should) but I’d like to put the ocean waves back on and its quite a loud sound and I don’t want to wake the hubby!
We did test it out briefly with some Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath .. not concert quality, but perfectly respectable sound.
Bought this for my wife and she loves it. Pairs very easily with anything and sounds decent for the size.
if you are contemplating and in need of a good sized, priced, and quality speaker…get this! i was so hesitant about which version and brand of a speaker i wanted but i am so glad i got this! the sound quality is crisp and the bass is just perfect for an apartment, room, small party. i am not picky like some of these reviewers can be…i used to have a cheap 15 quid speaker and did not complain but paying the extra 20 quid for this thing is worth it. hoping this thing lasts me a few years! 🙂
