I’ve tested a lot of portable&nbsp, Bluetooth listeners, so I’m used to persons asking me for advice. I like to point them to our list of the best Bluetooth speakers, but I also want to mention that I gave the Anker Soundcore Boom 2 a CNET Editors ‘ Choice because it’s reasonably priced and offers impressive sound, making it an excellent value. &nbsp,

There are numerous Mobile speakers to choose from. However, the Soundcore Boom 2 stands out for its lightweight, water-resistant style and excellent value for money. This little boom box speaker now offers a good price for its listing price of$ 140, compared to its competitors. And for Memorial Day, Amazon is currently offering the black model for$ 120, or 14 % off.

I liked the Soundcore Motion Boom, which was one of the better mini boom box Bluetooth speakers over the past few years, selling for around$ 80, and made our list of the best Bluetooth speakers. With more than twice the energy rating of the original, the 3.66-pound Boom 2 is priced a little higher, but it sounds significantly better. It not only kicks out more guitar, but it also offers better quality at higher levels ( it has two tweeters and one bass ). Additionally, it has a few LED lights that are built-in to give it that group feeling.

Hey, did you know? Clean, simple, and cost-effective are CNET Talks texts. &nbsp,

Why do I like this listener from Anker?

The author’s design isn’t particularly eye-catching or modern, but it’s still manageable and the proper size, neither too large nor too small, and you can choose from three color combinations. Although it doesn’t have a dust-resistance ranking, it does seem very durable as well. The Boom 2 floats in a body of water and is IPX7-rated. Also, you can charge your products using a USB-out port.

The battery life is excellent as well. The speaker can be adjusted for sound and light with the Soundcore app for iOS and Android, and it can playback for up to 24 days at reasonable level degrees ( it charges via USB-C, which is great ). If you turn on or install the LED light, the battery life does drop.

Another speech from Anker to think about

Anker’s Soundcore Boom 2 Plus is available for purchase if you’re looking for yet more powerful sound. It has more noise and sounds with features like the Boom 2. It is a bigger listener. It costs about$ 180, but it sounds nowhere near as good as the Boom 2 ( probably between 25 % and 30 % ). It’s also a good price, too.
