Anker Soundcore Bluetooth Speaker Upgraded Version with 24H Playtime, IPX5 Waterproof, Stereo Sound, 66ft Bluetooth Range, Built-In Mic, Portable Wireless Speaker for iPhone Samsung

Brilliant little speaker! Easy to use - very straightforward and also easy to connect to. Charged before use and then used it for 5 days away and didn't need to charge it once while away! Charge lasts for ages. Good sound and volume. The teens loved it and connected easily to it too. Would recommend, great value for money! Looking forward to having it for BBQs and in the garden.

Amazing little item. Having moved to a small apartment, I found that the dock i'd previously been using was a little too powerful, where the only way I could listen to music without a lot of bass was only a barely audible volume. So I needed something that took up little space, but where I could still listen to music at a reasonable level without upsetting the neighbours. And this has been perfect. Understandably, the quality of sound isn't going to be the most magnificent, but what I have found is that it picks up bass well and there isn't too much treble; It doesn't sound like you're playing the music out of a pair of cheap laptop speakers. There's good all round sound, and has plays all genres of music to a good quality. I do find that, in some songs where there are a lot of layers, that it doesn't quite pick up on the small details quite as well. And by small, I mean very small details that you'd only notice if you listened to a track through a pair of headphones fifty times, so it isn't a big deal. The volume on the soundcore is excellent too, especially if you're able to control the volume from another device. For instance, I may increase the volume on my phone as well as on the soundcore to make it louder. The battery life on this is excellent, and barely needs charging. When it does need charging however, it takes quite a long time. But it's worth it, since I get weeks of use just out of one charge. I've personally found some odd issues surrounding connectivity. I don't know if this is applicable to just me, or if it's something to do with the device itself. But when I hope to connect via bluetooth from my laptop, it may or may not connect. Usually I encounter this issue if i've reconnected from my phone, and then wish to connect back to my laptop. Sometimes it won't connect, sometimes it may badly connect (even if the devices are next to each other) and the sound crackles, and other times it works perfectly. Where the laptop and SoundCore won't connect, I usually have to delete the saved connection from the laptop, reconnect, and then restart the laptop. Most of the time this works. But for the purposes I use the SoundCore for, it's not a big deal, but it could be for someone else. In regards to connecting to my phone, it'll always work in seconds without fail. The range of the device isn't perfect. I've sometimes had the soundcore in one room, and i'll be on my phone in the adjacent room (only a couple of metres away), but the connection will struggle. It basically doesn't work too well through walls, which is understandable. I haven't used the device in a room/space large enough to possibly comment on the uninterrupted range of the device. I just use this in my home, which is very small. In regards to using it as a loudspeaker, i've found it's pretty poor. It picks up conversations perfectly from my end of the conversation, but in regards to the other end of the conversation, my phone's loudspeaker is much better. People struggle to hear what i'm saying, saying that it sounds like i'm in a tunnel, which isn't the case for when I use my phone's loudspeaker. Again for my purposes, this isn't a big problem, but I can imagine it is for someone else. But in total, i've had this for about five months, and it's seen almost daily use without fail. It's just as good now as when I first bought the item. The quality of sound is great, the price is good, and aside from a few minor adjustments (like keeping my phone next to the device so the connection doesn't break (or connecting through the jack), or restarting my laptop) I have no reason to complain. It can easily fill a room with sound, but can also play quietly if you want to listen to peaceful music in the bath. I love its portability, and it has completely exceeded my expectations for the price I paid.

Owned this since Oct 2025 bought it to replace a Jam heavy metal speaker that was starting to show it's age. Used this at work everyday non stop. Truly excellent little speaker, superb sound quality, battery last a week or more. Astounding for the price, highly recommended, I also own soundcore Q30 over ear and i40 buds both are excellent, which is why I went for this little speaker so far brilliant. Well done soundcore.

Bought as a backup for my Bose SoundLink Mini speaker, and I must say the quality of the sound is pretty good. At the purchase price the Anker speaker is excellent value for money. It is straightforward to set up and use, lightweight and looks good in black. With 24 hr playtime advertised I highly recommend this speaker as a good purchase.

Really good sound for the size and so easy to use. Bought as a portable speaker to take with me when I’m doing workshops as background music, or to use outside at home. Its weight gives it a good quality feel, it feels sturdy without being too heavy. Good volume, although not had it on the loudest. Nice clear sound. Overall great quality.

I'm using this as a TV speaker on an old monitor in my home office from an Alexa Fire Stick. I really like the sound quality, easy to connect to bluetooth as well as direct audio connection to the monitor and that I can take it to my work if I choose to and use it with my mobile. Really excellent for the price and feels well built.

I bought this speaker in January 2018 and it has been all over the world in all kinds of climates with me. As you can see from the pictures, it has seen some action so when I tell you this thing can take a beating and still keep going, believe me. Let's start with build quality. This thing is solid. Despite its small size, 164mm x 45mm x 55mm, it is quite weighty, which indicates good quality speakers inside it. The outer shell is tough, feels substantial and has a nice rubberised, tactile feel. The speaker grill is also substantial and tough, when you pick this thing up you have no doubts that it isn't going to break if you drop it. The controls are straightforward and take a little pressure to use, but this is a good thing since you can't accidentally activate them. I definitely felt confident that this would last and take some abuse and nearly seven years later, that confidence has been well and truly justified. The sound quality is impressively good for a speaker of this size. It actually sounds bigger, not like other units of this size that I've heard which sound thin and tinny. The bass is far better than I expected from something this small and the overall clarity of the sound is quite impressive too. It's capable of decent volume levels without distortion and is great for the pool, camping, and outdoor parties etc. I'm currently using mine as a laptop speaker and it's a massive improvement over the laptop's built-in speakers. The Bluetooth connection on this thing is very easy to pair and is extremely reliable. Once set up it will automatically seek and connect to the last device it was paired to when next switched on. If you need to pair it to another device, that is easy to do. There is no significant drop in audio quality over BT compared to wired. The battery life is pretty much as advertised, if not longer. Even after almost seven years, I'm easily getting 24 hours or so on a full charge. I mostly charge it overnight and haven't made an accurate measurement of charging times, but I think it's a couple of hours for a full charge. It does hold a charge for a long time, though. It has been weeks between uses on occasion, with no noticeable drop in usage time between charges. The unit here is basically the same as my seven-year-old unit. The speaker system is the same design and the outer casing is the same. I think the only difference is the upgrade from BT4 to BT5, which can only be an improvement over what was already an impressive BT system. I'd certainly buy another of these if/when mine dies.

A very nice little speaker that I use with my phone and TV. A nice rich sound
