soundcore Anker Boom 2 Bluetooth Speaker, Outdoor Speaker with 80W, Subwoofer, BassUp 2.0, 24H Playtime, IPX7 Waterproof, Floatable, RGB Lights, Custom EQ, USB-C, Portable for Camping, Beach, Garden

Wow, it’s a WOW product, weighs little, sounds big. I replaced an portable Anker speaker i’ve had for 7 years, it’s battery gave up after daily use and had been left in the rain many times through the british summer. I was rusty battered and still sounded great so I was going to buy another Anker. I didn’t think technology had moved much but the sound is unbelievable audio books are crisp at low volume (don’t put bass on). Music is superb, from Katy Perry, Wu-tang, Prodigy, Sound garden, Drake, Horse Face, every genre sounds amazing. Tip: You can press the bass button twice, on the double press (100 watt) the sound is so big, it will be heard by the neighbours (if not felt). The side speakers vibrate and move, it looks ace but I wonder if they could every get damaged, they feel strong but that is my only concern. That said it’s impossible to get this good a sound without this speaker freedom. I have a 25 year old Teac Hi-fi, It was thousands when houses were £50k. I gave it the side eye the other day, It knew what I was thinking.

I was looking for a quality speaker to work with my gaming computer and accompany me while working in the garden. This bluetooth speaker isn't the cutest on the market but based on several reviews including Which!, I picked it over better known quality brands. It is quite chunky, not one that will slip in your bag discreetly, and it is heaver than a lot of its competitors but the trade off is fantastic sound and good battery life. It has heavy bass capability and lights that sync with the music but at 60 years old, I won't make much use of those features - they are very easy to turn down/switch off. If the size/weight/style don't put you off, you'll be getting a great piece of kit at way below the top brand prices. I'm delighted with mine.

Got my Boom 2 today from Amazon. I am running it in at the moment. The sound is crisp and the bass is there. The bass seems to have a sweet spot of me being very close or being about 8 feet away. Anywhere in between the bass seems to fall into a black hole but this is most probably my hearing and placement of the speaker. Placement is very important to sound quality as I have learnt over the years. The sound will get better when the speakers loosen up after several hours and days of playing. I have the blue one as I think the black one would look too generic. Playing 'Who You Are' from Jessie J. right now and her vocals are sharp and piercing like they should be. The bass drum drop is thumping. The lead guitar is there I cannot have this on maximum as it would burst my ear drums out. 'Roar' by Katy Perry always tests speakers and the Boom 2 passes with flying colours. The rumbling bass in this tune rumbles the desk, floor and everything in range from the Boom 2. The passive radiators constantly shaking. The light show going crazy. 'Unconditionally' - the Boom 2 has found some bass notes I did not know were there before. 'Dark Horse' by Katy Perry - just wow. The bass would re-arrange my internal organs if I let it. Passive radiators a blur like something out of The Matrix. 'This Is How We Do' by Katy Perry lead guitar and bass drum vocals subtle background all there and present. The soundtrack to Braveheart with it's nuances and raging majesty is all there with the Boom 2 (just for change in music styles). 'Vide Cor Meum' on the Hannibal Soundtrack is orchestral and emotional. 'Interstellar' with its organ and singular piano notes and rumbling bass in the background is perfectly presented here. 'Turn Out The Light' by the Investigators the Boom 2 drops the bass as it should be for lovers rock. The vocals on 'Lost Without You' by Freya Ridings are heart-breaking as they should be. I have the sound settings to SoundCore Signature with Bass Up and use PowerAmp with flat settings in that app. I know I could boost whatever I want with PowerAmp but just don't need to. One tune that it does struggle a bit with is 'Venus As A Boy' by Bjork. The bass is more felt then heard with this song as though there is a range that is playing that I cannot hear but is there. Or maybe it's just my hearing and placement again as it sounds better from about 10 feet away. I reckon this will sound better once the speaker has been run in. 'Unravel' by Bjork is my signature song for testing any speakers and headphones. I had to stand up and listen literally. I have not head the vocals like that before from this song even though I have played it a thousand times. jeez it was like hearing it for the first time. One thing that the Boom 2 could not do is the floating bass notes from left to right speakers towards the end of the song as it needs further stereo separation to do that. But when I buy a second Boom 2 (the green one) I'll have them set up in TWS mode and I'll see how they deal with it then. If you like 'Unravel' then there is only one cover version that comes anywhere close as the original - by Turkish artist Selan Ozan a live performance. The echoes of that live performance. You can hear the acoustics of that concert hall affecting the audio. The sometimes not perfect alignment of notes just makes it more perfect and it is all there in the sound stage wide and haunting. The mellifluous floating echoing vocals and the thumping electronic bass drum. The Boom 2 it's not just a bass head speaker. It delivers with the mids, uppers and vocals as well. To summarise. It's a great speaker that has already started to sound better after a couple of hours of running in. The light show is great for watching the radiators go off. It is light ad I have not tested how water proof it is. Two of them in stereo mode will be a blast and hopefully will sort out the bass stereo separation of 'Unravel' by Bjork. I am fast becoming a SoundCore fanboy as I have 4 Liberty 4 NC's, Space One, Soundcore 3, P20i and Life P2 mini. I did have problems with my first set of Space Ones but the second set are a lot better. And I just did not like the Q45's so sold them. So SoundCore does it again. I'll be amending this review when I have the second Boom 2 speaker paired to it to see how that affects the overall sound. And after I have finished running them in. Also, I did have a discount code that failed on the SoundCore website when I tried to order the Boom 2 there and I informed them about it. They told me to order it here on Amazon and they would honour the difference in price and they have done just that. So brilliant customer service as well. Bravo Edit 31/05/24 Got my second Boom2 in green from Amazon today using the £20 discount code. Paired the green one with my blue in TWS mode by pressing the Bluetooth buttons on both at the same time for 2 seconds which worked. But before that I paired the green one to a spare phone just to update the firmware and then unpaired it again. The second one cannot be paired to anything before setting it as TWS. Also, now when I turn them both on they automatically go into TWS mode so I don't have to do it each time. (Sony could learn a lesson here) One Boom 2 sounds brilliant. Pairing two together takes it to another level. Stereo separation is important to me and having two delivers on this in spades. But the sound is louder with 2 (obviously) so I don't have to turn them up as much compared to when I had one. I have been running in the green one today as it was sounding a little tight in the bass (same as the blue one when I got it but it is now rumbling sweet in the low notes). So now after about 3 hours the green one is now on par with the blue one. I was toying with the idea of getting the Boom 2 Plus and having that paired with blue Boom 2 but I am glad that I did not as for less than the price of one Boom 2 Plus I have 2 Boom 2's in full TWS stereo mode. 2 Sub Woofers, 4 Tweeters, 160w in total with bass up on - just wow. 'Unravel' By Bjork - floating bass between left and right now delivered flawlessly. Also 'Funkin For Jamaica' by Tow Browne - all sorts floating between left and right. Vocals on the right. Vocals on the left. Bass guitar (I think) floating from right to centre to left and back again. Hell, maybe I'll just buy the Boom 2 Plus for the heck of it. But when it comes to dynamic space filling spital sound it's my two Boom 2's in TWS. Damn. Soundcore. Jeez. Wow.

I honestly love this speaker — the sound quality is incredible for its size. The bass is deep and punchy thanks to the BassUp 2 feature, and you can really feel the subwoofer kick in. It easily fills a room or even works great outdoors without losing clarity. The build quality feels solid and premium, and the battery life is impressive — lasts for hours of continuous play. The Bluetooth connection is strong and stable, and pairing is super quick. It’s perfect for parties, outdoor trips, or just chilling at home. If you enjoy loud, clear music with great bass, this one’s a must-buy. Totally worth it! 🔥🎶

Most important things first - it feels well made, it sounds great, it goes quite loud with decent tight punchy bass. Not "fill a field or huge hall with sound" or "shake the walls", naturally, but for the size, more than good enough. The light show is a cute addition, albeit of limited use outdoors in bright sun of course. I've had some stuttering sound issues, but I think that's my phone rather than the speaker. When it happens, turning Bluetooth on & off on my phone (a Moto G75) usually seems to cure it. I can't give it 5 stars though because of some silly missing features: * no battery gauge - there's no way to see how much power it has left. My JBL speaker has a series of 4 lights to show approx 25/50/75/100% remaining power. Even plenty of cheap speakers I've seen have one. This unit has nothing - especially an issue if you want to use its power output to charge up another device, and have some idea how much power you've got left in it. * no 3.5mm aux input - yes, sadly quite a few phones are doing away with 3.5mm headphone sockets, but including an aux line input would cost pennies and be a useful feature so you can connect other devices to it - but no, none to be found here.

Love this speaker, very happy with my purchase. Build quality is great, very solid and doesnt feel cheap. The sound quality is crisp and bass is adjustable. Battery lasts ages before needing a change so no worry there. The speaker looks cool too, with lights that react to the music. Easy to connect to your device allowing you to stream from your desired music platform.. Uts a good size that is convenient for travel, although probably too big to take abroad in a small suitcase, it would take quite a bit of room up. Sounds like an expensive hifi system. Really good value for money!

Compact, sturdy, great sound, deep base, long lasting battery. Lights are added bonus. Which magazine recommended.

Excellent powerful speaker . Very easy to get the sound just how I like it with the soundcore app .. Tons of bass or it can be pulled right back . I've bought 2 for easy stereo . I've got the lights turned off . Battery lasts easily 2 days ....

Incroyable, le son est terrible, bien meilleur que Sony srx , très joli, très simple d'utilisation, la fonction recharge GSM en plus. A voir sur le long terme si il est fiable... Emballage parfait...j’adore, rapport qualité prix incroyable

Bu fiyat aralığında ve bu ses kalitesinde ürüne rastlamak çok zor. Motion + kullanan biri olarak bu devrim niteliğinde.. İsmen ün yapmış markalara gereğinden fazla para vermek bu cihaz varken ne diyeyim. Sesi ev ortamında % 50 üstüne almanız imkansız !..

gayet tatminkar ses veriyor. Muadillerine göre uygun fiyat

Love, love this speaker. I have a couple of JBL Flip speakers that sound great, but this is an outstanding, better sounding speaker. Loud with Big, deep Bass from this smallish (lunchbox sized Speaker). Crisp highs too. Solidly built to get knocked around. I bought two so you can enable Partycast and sync two of them together. I use one on the first floor and one on the second for music in the house. Great all day battery life. Works great! Highly recommended. Waterproof, so there’s no worry when taking them on the beach.

Les matériaux sont robustes, design très simple et épuré agréables à regarder. Pour la taille le son est vraiment excellent ( véritable stéréo) : des basses bien présentes, mais jamais trop excessives, donnent de la profondeur au son et une belle rondeur. Les médiums sont très agréables, les voix sont très bien reproduites et naturelle. La puissance est importante : certes, nous sommes loin de vrai 80w, mais il y a beaucoup de volume. Peut être utilisé sans problème même à l'extérieur, dans de grands espaces, ainsi qu'à la maison pour écouter de la musique à faible volume, en profitant d'un son agréable et rond. La batterie dure très longtemps, surtout lorsque vous éteignez les lumières, gadget pour faire joli sympa mais pas très utile. Dans l'ensemble : excellent produit, à tel point que je n'ai commandé une deuxième, en jumelant les deux enceintes on atteint une puissance max de 160 w pour une valeur max de 200€ (2 fois 99€) très rentable. Excellent pour regarder un film sur tablette. Enceinte polyvalente qui se prête à tous les usages et à tous les espaces. Bien au-dessus de la marque JBL de même gamme, plus léger, moins cher et meilleur son. Deux petits points négatifs (mais vraiment parce que je suis chiant) il n'y a pas la possibilité de brancher une clé USB, carte micro SD ou prise jack dommage et pas d'encoche pour mettre une sangle. Vous pouvez en faire l'acquisition vous ne serez pas déçu.
