Soundcore Select 2S Bluetooth Speaker by Anker, Portable with 20W Stereo Sound, BassUp, 16H Playtime, Wireless Stereo Pairing, IPX7 Waterproof, Speaker for Home, Shower, Hiking, Outdoor Adventures

My speaker came nicely packaged but the unit itself was defective.I got in contact with Anker and the issue was resolved.I've always liked Anker and their products.Thank you Anker for the great customer service and products.

Definitely a great buy. Speakers pair for stereo sound and have a bass setting. Also very affordable.

I bought the Soundcore 2s for $40, even though the regular Soundcore 2 is often on sale for around $30—and was at that price when I made this purchase. Both models are essentially the same speaker, with one key difference: the 2s version supports EQ customization through the Soundcore app and comes with a slightly better EQ profile out of the box.Now, does it sound 25% better for $10 more? That’s the real question. The truth is, bass is still limited. Even after adjusting the EQ—using guides from sources like Rtings.com—I noticed some odd frequency issues, especially in the drum kicks, that remind you this is still a budget speaker.For comparison, I tested a $25 Chinese-brand speaker with similar specs and wattage. The results? The Chinese speaker had similar bass response and loudness but had noticeably muddier mids and was duller sounding overall. With some patient EQ tweaking, the Soundcore 2s can deliver noticeably better bass and clarity. You just have to put in the time to dial it in.One downside: pairing this speaker with my phone consistently took about 5–6 seconds longer than the Chinese speaker, which was a bit inconvenient. In conclusion, I’d recommend the Soundcore 2s if you can find it on sale—especially around Black Friday or Prime day, or if you're a more discerning listener who enjoys fine-tuning frequency responses. With some effort, it can deliver solid performance for its size and price, but it’s not huge plug-and-play upgrade over the standard Soundcore 2 unless you're willing to tweak it. Up this rating to a 5/5 if you can find it on sale.

Amazing, it’s loud and sounds very clear just wished it showed me how much battery it has

The speakers sound amazing and the battery life is great.I left the speaker outside in rain for three days. I thought it would not work anymore but it fired right up with no concerns since.

IT IS WORTH IT, BUY IT! Great bass and full sound for the price., And a testament to durability and waterproofness I left this in the crawlspace of my reno home, and this speaker sat in 12" of water overnight with the charging port plug, unplugged. I just washed it off with clean water, let it dry, and couldn't believe it turned on, let alone still sounds amazing. thanks for a great product.

Great sounding little speaker with long battery life.Pairs easily with Bluetooth, make sure speaker has a good charge though between battery is low pairing didn’t work.

For the money - this is a great speaker. It's durable - my toddler has thrown it across the room onto a wood floor multiple times. The sound isn't amazing, but it's certainly good enough. Battery seems to have decent life. Bluetooth connection works great. It's portable. Great little speaker for the money.
