Best speaker to listen to David Hasselhoff – hands down!!!!
You want a review? Here’s a review!Talk about a damn good speaker for the price. You can’t beat this value. I actually hear bass! I’ve had my speaker for a wee lil bit over 2 years now. So trust this is a proper review. If a reviewer got it, and it was broken immediately or shortly thereafter, yes, that says something about overall quality, but unfortunately, no matter the product lemons occur. Those reviews are totally helpful, but you have to weigh them against other reviews that may be more positive. And no, I’m not being paid for this review. I just feel that the more information provided on a product the best for all – consumers, manufacturers, and sellers. That being said…let’s get down to the nitty gritty.Price – done and done, son. You can beat this price. Even without looking at quality, <$30 for a portable speaker is damn proper. Usually, at this price, I'm thinking, "How much treble am I gonna have?" Yes "treble" bc for most low end speakers that's all you get - treble, and then, bass that is the equivalent to a soft unsatisfied grunt.Charge - The charge does last a long time. However, I can now tell that the time between charges is shorter now. And in the past 2 months I've noticed that I can have it charging, not in use for a long time, but the blue light that indicates that the speaker is fully charged never goes on. This did bother me when it first started happening, but I now see that I still have a lot of play/usage time despite not having the blue light fully charged special.. Definitely 12+ hrs.I cannot say exactly how much use time I get. I don't keep the speaker in use for more than 5ish+ hrs most days. But I do notice the frequency of charge. And now, after 2 years and many, many, many days leaving the speaker on, not plugged in, not in use (for days), I will have to charge it once during the weekend. That's the time I use it the most and when it might be in use for 8+ hrs.Personally, it's not a bother since I can charge and use the speaker at the same time. However, if you're going on a weekend camping trip, especially if you've had the speaker for a while, definitely take a power source or an additional speaker. I'm planning on getting another for that same reason - one for home and one for travel.Sound Quality - As I mentioned earlier, for a portable speaker, the bass is quite decent, as is the volume. I've had house parties using only this speaker and it was perfect. Now, I do only have a 2/1 apt, but on the balcony and even on the yard (if strategically placed) all guests were able to hear the music. Yet, it's not too loud to cause a disturbance. We've been hanging out till 6-7am, with the speaker on the balcony, without any complaints. Volume: Distubance = on point!Set-up/Use - The set up is über simple. And you can easily disconnect and pair the speaker to another device. As more an more devices become simpler to pair, this is not as an important feature, but still one to note. KIS - keep it simple.Not so short summary that is longer than the review - Hands down this is the best speaker for your money and better than many other higher priced speakers out there. I almost bought a Beats Pill, but decided against it after comparing price and reviews to Anker's portable speaker. And I decided, quite definitively, yes, Anker's portable speaker is worth it.For a fraction of the price for Beats I encourage you to try it out. Especially make the leap if you are looking for a travel speaker. Because when you travel, things never go as planned and inevitably something goes to crap like - your trip itinerary, your luggage, shady hostels inspired by or the inspiration of an Eli Roth flick, lost chonies (look it up bc the "p" word is gross, girls wear those, and I'm a grown woman and I wear chonies/chones), lost passports, lost virginities (the plural includes one virginity for multiple individuals or multiple virginities per one individual - like if you grew a second hymen or are a born again virgin), lost souls (it happens), or even the loss of dignity. But through all of that, what really blows is the loss of a hundreds of dollars speaker that you purchased mainly for your travel.If you get the Anker Soundcore, will you be protected from the aforementioned b.s.? Not in the slightest. But will you loathe yourself less when your bad ass portable speaker with 24hr charge is lost? Yes bc you didn't spend a few Benjamins on it.So now you can get a replacement. Or better yet, go ahead and buy 2 now and save yourself the hassle (but indulge in the Hasselhoff).Moral of the story. Stop reading reviews right meow and get this speaker. It's good, it's a fraction of the cost of comparable speakers, the charge lasts forever (if your forever was 24 hrs or less), you can charge it and still use it, and does this look like a face that would lie to you? Exactly! Also you can use the speaker, connected to your Alexa decide to play music by the Hoff, without a hassle (you see why I did there).Epilogue: On a side note, I'm currently debating getting this model (which I've had for two years, just reminding you in case you forgot or were distracted by to sweet tunage of the Hoff playing in your mind since you ahvent bought this speaker yet -Shame, shame, SHAME!), or the updated version. I've been pretty darn pleased with the older model. So that should also tell you something - the older model is so dope that I don't even know if I need the newer version.

Sound clarity, battery life, and portability are great.
This speaker is a reliable, budget-friendly option for anyone seeking portable stereo sound with splash resistance. It shines in battery life, clarity, and durability, making it perfect for casual listening, outdoor gatherings, or travel. While it won’t replace high-end audiophile gear, it’s one of the best value speakers in its class. Connectivity and compatibility with my computer were no problem at all, same with my cellphone. For its compact size, it has great clarity and output. It certainly functions as advertised.

INITIAL THOUGHTSWow… this speaker is powerful. I’ve owned about 3 Bluetooth Speakers in my life (one more expensive, one cheaper) and I can honestly say this is the best experience that I have ever had with a Bluetooth speaker in my entire life. From initial use, probably the best ‘bang for your buck’ bluetooth speaker.PROS✓ Anker Brand -> Anker has to be the best company that I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. From every product that I’ve ever purchased from them, they’ve all been exceptional and miles above the competition, this speaker still holds true to that sentiment. I will ALWAYS spend the extra dollar to buy Anker products, not only are they incredibly high quality and reliable, but their customer service is exceptional. I highly recommend you buy Anker products when applicable.✓ Sound Quality/Volume -> For the sake of this review, I turned it up the volume to max and I can honestly say that it is completely unnecessary. This speaker, especially for its size, is probably the most powerful Bluetooth speaker I’ve ever owned. Not only is it loud, but the sound quality is awesome. The lows (mainly bass) are incredibly powerful yet don’t take away from the highs. Please note, however, that when the volume is close to being maxed, the highs become very harsh – though rarely will you need the volume that high, if ever. These speakers are very well balanced and whether you prefer lows, mids or highs, your going to be satisfied with how they sound.✓ Perfectly Minimalistic -> This speaker sells itself and it knows it. It looks extremely sleek and doesn’t try to be anything it’s not. The controls are simple as can be, there are 5 buttons: Power, Volume Down, Pause/Play, Volume Up and Pair, and they all do their jobs perfectly; nothing fancy. I love the look of this speaker.✓ Battery Life -> Although I am yet yo be able to test the 24-hour advertised playback, I have used this device for about 5 hours now and it shows no signs of running out of battery (no sound quality or volume changes). Absolutely perfect for camping (especially if you have no access to power).✓ Connectivity -> For a Bluetooth speaker, this is probably one of the most important features. Right out of the box (After being charged for about 30 minutes) it took me roughly 15 seconds flat to connect this thing to my phone, and 10 seconds of that was human error. In the 5 hours that I’ve had it running today, it hasn’t disconnected once, absolutely amazing connectivity. In terms of range, I was able to go from my office downstairs, all the way to the other side of my backyard before it disconnected (roughly 55-60 feet). The range is incredible.CONS✘ Harsh highs (At high volume) -> If you listen to any songs with a lot of highs (Hotel California, for example), you may experience some harsh sounding highs, however, I only experienced this with a few songs (and it was still bearable). I recommend you test it for yourself and see how you like it – whether something is harsh is completely subjective.✘ Fingerprint Magnet -> Although it’s not that noticeable on the black surface, the soft plastic is definitely a fingerprint magnet. If this is something that bothers you I recommend wiping it down with a microfiber cloth every now and then to keep it clean. However if you’re someone like me and it doesn’t bother you too much (especially since you don’t need to be looking at the speaker to enjoy it) then this shouldn’t be a problem for you.✘ Short Charging Cable -> This isn’t the end of the world, but if the charger dies and you still want to listen to music, you are going to be very limited to where you can put the speaker. The charger uses micro USB so there is a very good chance that you have a longer cord somewhere around your house, and if you don’t, you can easily pick one up here.FINAL THOUGHTS ⚖This is probably the best Bluetooth Speaker in its price category right now… by far. If you are looking for a cheap yet extremely high-quality Bluetooth speaker, look no further. This speaker is incredible for its price.RATING☆Price ★★★★★ [5]Quality ★★★★★ [5]Design ★★★★★ [5]Volume ★★★★★ [5]Connectivity ★★★★★ [5]FINAL SCORE ★★★★★ [5] **Hands down the easiest 5-star rating I’ve ever given… awesome speaker.**NOTE: The attached video doesn’t do justice to how loud it really was, the camera I was using wasn’t designed to pick up audio. Trust me… it’s loud.
