Title: First impressions, works great
Review: Our bedroom TV speakers started sounding like they were going (hissing when anyone said a S). I ordered a sound bar, but a mix up on shipping and we never got it. So I ordered the Soundcore instead.It's a decent little speaker. Is it full size speaker great? No. But for it's size it has a good rounded out sound, maybe a little muddy in the mid range (my guess is because of the boosted bass), but it's not enough to bother me.It works fantastic for my TV. I had trouble connecting the Bluetooth, but that could have been my TV's fault. I am having difficulty controlling the volume, not sure why, but the TV does not control the volume at all. It shows on the screen it is, but doesn't.Otherwise, the audio is synced with the video perfectly. We have the speaker on the wall behind the bed, and it doesn't seem weird and disconnected feel where the audio lags behind a second.We'll see how it holds up, but I have always had good luck with Anker products. I have a couple of Anker USB adapters for the car and wall chargers for the phones that I can't remember how long ago I bought them, still going, so I have faith in the speaker.

Title: Loud, good sound reproduction, advanced call answering features
Review: When Ankerâs SoundCore 2 went on sale, I immediately made the purchase so that I could compare an Anker Bluetooth speaker with those from other manufacturers. Anker is a well-known brand producing quality products. My expectations were high.PackagingThe SoundCore 2 came in a white and light blue box with black and light blue text on the outside. Inside the box, wrapped in velvety plastic, was the speaker secured by cardboard on all but the top parts. With the speaker were the user guide, âHappy/Not Happyâ card and an Anker-branded charging cable inside its own smaller box. Packaging was professional.Pairing and ControlsPairing the SoundCore 2 with an iPhone 7 Plus was a breeze. Shortly after turning the speaker on, âSoundCore 2â appeared on my phone. A couple of seconds after I tapped the name, paring was successful, confirmed by tone.The controls are located at the top of the speaker. They include the power, - (minus), play, + (plus) and Bluetooth buttons. The + and â buttons are used for adjusting volume. The play button is a multi-function button that can be used to pause/resume playback, accept/reject/end calls as well as putting the current call on hold while accepting another call. Additionally, the play button can also be used to switch a call between speaker and mobile device.On one of the sides are the auxiliary and micro USB charging ports.PerformanceWhen it comes to speakers, the most important factor for me is sound quality reproduction. Ankerâs SoundCore 2 didnât disappoint. Vocals by a basso vocalist were smooth. Middle frequencies produced by a flute and a clarinet were clear and pleasant. High frequencies from an acoustic guitar were crisp and very satisfying.The sound of a bass drum was somewhere in between a âpunchâ and a âboom.â Applying an equalizer app got the bass drum closer to a boom but not quite there. This is an area where the speaker could use an improvement when it comes to sound quality reproduction.The SoundCore 2 is loud. At maximum volume, it easily filled my 20-feet x 20-feet garage with sound. Bluetooth range was amazing. Without any obstruction in between the speaker and my phone, sound didnât cutoff until both were about 100 feet apart, producing the best Bluetooth range of all speakers Iâve tested to date.Phone calls were clear. The speaker has the ability to put an existing call on hold while answering another incoming call. I have yet to see this feature on other Bluetooth speakers. There is one feature that is common with most speakers Iâve tested but not present with the SoundCore 2 and that is the ability to call the last number dialed on the phone the speaker is paired with. This would normally be a double press of the play button but this action is assigned to skip to the next track. I found this to be surprising coming from an Anker product.In addition to call the last number dialed, I was also surprised by the inability to go to the previous track. Unless I missed this in the user guide, this functionality is not present.As already mentioned, the speaker has the ability to enable voice control software such as Siri on iOS devices. This is the second speaker I have tested to include this nice feature.Pros⢠Durable and rugged construction⢠Good sound reproduction⢠Loud⢠Comprehensive user guide in 9 languages⢠Amazing Bluetooth range⢠Advanced phone call answering features⢠Ability to enable voice activated software (Siri with iOS)⢠Anker-branded charging cableCons⢠Canât go to previous track⢠Canât call the last number dialed⢠No auxiliary cableConclusionDespite the minor quirks mentioned in my review, the pros far outweigh the cons making the SoundCore 2 an excellent choice for a Bluetooth speaker in the $46 (price at the time of review) range. Similar speakers Iâve tested are the Meidong 2110 and the Meidong QQChocolate Medium. While these two speakers are more accurate in terms of sound quality reproduction, they are not as loud as the SoundCore 2. If volume is more important, you canât go wrong with the SoundCore 2. However, if sound quality reproduction is more important, take a look at the Meidong speakers. I had to switch between all three speakers while writing this review to make sure that my conclusions are as accurate as possible.

Title: Quality Sound!
Review: I am a home care provider. My client is a former music teacher. I purchased this so we could listen to music while we go about our day.So first, when I received this in the mail, I opened it and checked how much charge was available directly out of the box. More than half. Pretty awesome actually. It holds a charge pretty well!2- connecting the speaker to my phone so I could test the sound quality. Holy snapples! So crisp! So clear! The volume, I noticed I can control the volume via the speaker itself or by my phone. Seeing as volume was already 1/4 way up and sounded like I had a full on stereo was incredible.3- i like that this speaker is compact enough that I can tuck it safely in my go back for work and it doesn't take up space.For the price, the ease of connectivity, and the durability, I would 100% recommend this speaker any day to everyone. So far I have several products from this brand and they have blown me out of the water. Quality over quantity any day!

Title: Good value and size but sounds tiny versus JBL Flip 6
Review: The sound is decent for its price and small compact size. Battery life is great and it has water resistant capabilities. You can see from the photos that the Soundcore 2 has been used a lot.Why am I giving it four stars? Iâve upgraded my speaker to a JBL Flip 6. The JBL is multiples more expensive and slightly larger than the Soundcore 2.But when I used the JBL Flip 6 and had to temporarily go back to my old Soundcore 2, the Anker sounded very tiny. The JBL Flip 6 has more watts, has better bass, and has clearer vocals.If money or compact size isnât an issue, I would go for the JBL 6 (or even JBL 5). But if you want value and money is an issue, then the Anker Soundcore 2 is a great value.I put the two products side by side and the JBL isnât that much bigger than the Anker Soundcore 2.So decide what you want in the product and what your budget is, which will help you decide between the Soundcore 2, JBL 6, or another product.

Review: These Anker speakers are really great. I liked the first mini speaker so much I bought a 2nd mini speaker and now this larger one (Soundcore 2) with more volume. So I know have 3 of these around the yard and in my convertible. Great price and great sound. You will not be disappointed.
