Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker – Waterproof Wireless Speaker

Name: Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker – Waterproof Wireless Speaker
Brand: Anker

Anker · Audio & Headphones

The Soundcore 2 is Anker's small, take-anywhere Bluetooth speaker, and it is the model most people mean when they ask for a cheap speaker that simply works. It pairs over Bluetooth with any phone, tablet or laptop, so there is nothing to install and no account to create — useful if it is going to be shared around a kitchen or a garden table.

It suits students, campers, cyclists and anyone who wants sound in a room that does not have a speaker in it. Compared with a larger portable speaker like the JBL Charge 5, the Soundcore 2 trades outright volume and battery headroom for a size that genuinely fits in a coat pocket, which is the right compromise if it will spend most of its life being carried rather than sitting on a shelf.
