   Exactly What I Was Looking For – Small Size, Good Sound, Long Battery Life, Strong Build Quality, Affordable
   I did a lot of research before purchasing this bluetooth speaker. I wanted something that was easy to grab and carry around the house so that I can listen to music in different rooms. I wanted something with long battery life, so that I could spend more time listening to music, and only have to charge it up occasionally. I wanted a speaker with Bluetooth 4.0 (for use with my iPhone), and with an Aux cable input (my old iPod Nano doesn’t have Bluetooth). I wanted something colorful (most units are boring black). I wanted a device with decent sound, but was willing to trade off bass performance for size/weight/cost. It needs to be loud enough so that I can hear tunes in the shower when the speaker is on my bathroom counter. And finally, I wanted something affordable.
   I narrowed my choices down to this Anker SoundCore vs the DKnight MagicBox II. While the DKnight MagicBox II is comparable in size/price, and has a lot of positive reviews, my belief is that many of these are fake reviews, paid for by the company. I ended up choosing the Anker SoundCore speaker for 2 reasons: 1) I have many other Anker products that I love, and trust their brand; 2) I got this unit for 30 dollars on an Amazon daily deal.
   Now that it’s arrived, I am quite pleased — it met all of my criteria. It quickly/easily paired with my iPhone, and the sound quality was fine. It lacks the deep bass that you can get with larger speakers, but I knew that going in, and I am not disappointed at all in the sound. In fact, I was impressed with how loud the volume can go — it packs a big punch for a small speaker.
   There are 3 things I would change if I were designing a 2nd-generation version of the SoundCore speaker — of them cosmetic changes: 1) Remove the giant “ANKER” logo from the face of the speaker (it looks tacky); 2) Instead of making the unit red all over, make it black and red (e.g. black housing with a red speaker grill, or red housing with a black speaker grill) since there is just too much red; 3) Make the top buttons actual buttons with good button feedback instead of raised symbols molded into the housing. Other than these cosmetic changes, I am pleased with the size, price, sound, battery life, and overall build quality of this unit.

   UPDATED – Durable, Connects Well, Aesthetic, Crisp, Loud, Versatile
   I wasn’t sure what to expect with a Bluetooth speaker. It sounded neat on paper, but what would it really be like?
   I was worried about the battery life, ease of connecting to my devices, durability, and the aesthetics of something I’d be using quite often. I purchased the red model.
   UPDATED: Newer version released https://amzn.to/2I9aj2K you can see it
   BATTERY LIFE: Anker is known for their high-quality battery products. This item does not disappoint. I use it many times a week and rarely need to charge it. The unit seems to also power off if it isn’t being used for a certain period of time, which is useful if you fall asleep to a movie and then would rather the battery not drain on the speaker when the movie ends.
   DURABILITY: I’m impressed with the rubberized material the unit is coated in. It feels strong and smooth at the same time. It’s really enjoyable to touch. People consistently give me the same feedback when they hold it for the first time. The front has a strong metal grate that is also smooth to the touch in a matching color.
   CONNECTING TO DEVICES: I’m pleased to say the device connects nearly effortlessly to phones and laptops. Hold the “Bluetooth Symbol” button on the top for a few seconds to pair with your device. It connected easily to my Samsung Galaxy S7 as well as to my friends’ Sony Xperia & iPhone 6. It connects to my Macbook Pro 2011 and Macbook Pro 2015. The speaker remembers the phones/laptops so it seems to pair quicker after the first time. Hold the power button for about 2-3 seconds and it powers on. It has a satisfying set of beeps both for turn on & turn off.
   AESTHETICS: I was a bit worried about the color. Often times products arrive a different color than they appear online. The red unit is really striking. The color is bold and eye catching. It looks both modern and sophisticated. It’s enjoyable to touch each time I pick it up and has nice rounded corners. The input holes feel well-secured and the top buttons are responsive and nice to push.
   SOUND QUALITY: Plays crisp at both low and high volumes. I can play it loud enough to fill a 14×18′ room or a bathroom with the shower on. It gives a new level to movie quality when watching on your laptop – suddenly you have what feels more like surround sound and deeper bass. Sound adjusts with a “+” and “-” button on the top.
   VERSATILITY: On the chance you don’t have Bluetooth on a device, you’re still in luck. You can plug a standard 3.5mm cable (headphone-type cable) into the unit for a new input source. For example, my Windows laptop has a broken Bluetooth receiver, but I can still use a cable to connect to this unit.
   OTHER NOTES: I often find myself putting a piece of duct tape over the front LED when I use the unit at night. It does come with the micro USB cable needed to charge, but you must supply your own power brick to charge it. For most people, this won’t be a problem since most people have phone chargers and this item rarely needs to be charged. Anker also has a warranty on all its products, so I’m resting easy knowing if anything happens to my device, they’ll make it right. Warranty info: http://amzn.to/2lpGgFk
   Recommended product.
   EDIT 2/8/17: Have used product over 6 months. So happy had to buy another since my dad kept stealing it. Adding photos of it as well.

   There are so many options in the market when it comes to Bluetooth speakers, yet just a handful that give exceptional sound output. Anker makes great tech accessories and have an even better customer service. They’re relatively new to the sound and audio sector, from what I’ve learned, but they’ve made a great start! This speaker is actually smaller in size than I’d imagined, yet its one of the clearest I’ve heard. Now, this may not be best suited for pool parties (no water or dust proofing) or playing electronic music, as it’s not as loud as JBL or UE series, but its got enough bass and treble to give out the most realistic sound. It’s bang for the buck if you’re a casual listener who doesn’t like over-exaggerated sound output.
   One con is I wished these were louder, but that’s expected from a 12W speaker. They’re still very loud for its size. And boy, does it have a great battery, usually runs atleast 8 days (not kidding) without a charge. I just wish Anker sold products in India directly, as these are far cheaper abroad (delivery from Amazon.com might be cheaper despite the import taxes). If you can get them from someone living abroad, you’ve got yourself a great speaker for very cheap!

   I’ve had this speaker for about 4 years now and let me tell you, it is still working GREAT. After owning it for about a year I had decided that I wanted to try and get something better so I bought a JBL Flip 4 ($130), and that ended up only lasting me a year until it suddenly stopped working and JBL couldnt help me because their warranty isn’t great, while my Anker speaker is 4 years in and still working like new.
   Sound Quality
   – The sound Quality is really really good, it’s a loud enough to fill a small to medium room, the bass is obviously not as great compared to some high end speakers that focus on bass have (Ex. JBL Flip 4) but honestly was not a problem for me.
   – I mostly would use it in the bathroom and it was loud enough, for it to feel like a party in there hahaha
   Battery Life
   – Let me tell you, I swear this thing lasts for ever. Obviously it depends how frequently you use it but I swear ill go like a week without having to charge it and that using it at least every day for a couple of hours a day.
   – Even when it start to beep to indicate that the battery is about to die, it will last for like 2 hrs more. Its Great!
   – Although when i do use this in one sitting or take it to like a lake or something it doesn’t seem too last as long then but you still get a good 3 hrs out it.
   Overall Quality of Speakers
   – This thing may not be meant to be super durable but it definitely has been for me. I have dropped it quite a few times, I always have it in the bathroom with me and have probably gotten it wet a few times and it is still going great. But if you are looking for something more durable and waterproof probably go for their Soundcore 2 (Not sure how good it is though, as I don’t Own it)
   IF you are looking for something affordable to take to parties/gatherings and have a good Jam I recommend this product for sure!

   for the low price point, this speaker packs a punch.
   great speaker to keep on hand or in your bag for when you find yourself needing a speaker; tiny, lightweight, loud, and durable. couldn’t ask for more from a speaker at this price point.

   The size is handy, the battery life is great. I use it in my little work shop and it fills the area with my music. Great price, the two speakers while small are mighty
