soundcore by Anker Select 2S Bluetooth Speaker with 20W Stereo Sound, BassUp, Custom EQ, Wireless Stereo Pairing, IPX7 Waterproof and 16H Playtime, Portable Speaker for Home, Hiking and Outdoors

I've been on the hunt for a new speaker for a while, looking to replace an older (and overly flashy) RGB Sony speaker without breaking the bank. My needs were simple: I wanted something compact for my desk that had good bass, clear sound for calls, and was just simple to use. This Soundcore Select 2S has turned out to be the perfect solution. My main use for this is as a permanent speaker for my secondary computer, which I use for work. This means it's handling everything from listening to music on Spotify, watching YouTube videos, and being the main audio output for my Zoom and Google Meet calls. For this, it is flawless. The 20W stereo sound is surprisingly rich and clear. The clarity is excellent for voice calls and YouTube videos, with no tinniness at all. When I switch to music, the "BassUp" technology really does its job, providing a punchy, satisfying bass that I was missing from my old speaker. It's a great all-rounder. It's also incredibly simple. It's compact and sits discreetly on my desk, it connected via Bluetooth instantly, and the 16-hour playtime is a huge bonus, as I don't need to have another wire permanently plugged in, which keeps my desk setup clean. The IPX7 waterproofing is just a nice bit of peace of mind against accidental coffee spills. My only "nice to have" would have been a 3.5mm aux port, just for a wired connection to the PC, but the Bluetooth is so stable that it's not an issue, and for this price, I am absolutely not dropping a star for it. I know there's another popular model (the Soundcore 2, I think), but this Select 2S is everything I was looking for. If you need a simple, compact, great-sounding, and affordable speaker for your home office, desk setup, or just for general listening, I can't recommend this enough. It's a 5-star product all day long.

Good little speaker. Sound quality for price is on par - not as good as my previous high end but does the job exactly as it says on the tin! I’ve played music on it, not something I would use it for but does the job very well. Connected to TV - connectivity - suggest those of you who may be like me - google to establish adding the speaker to your Bluetooth selection. Once I finally worked out Bluetooth connected meant my stand in speaker I “asked” tv to find other devices, added and all boxes ticked! Powers off when TV goes to standby so energy efficient. Connected to iPhone immediately. Connected to HP laptop immediately Volume controls - simplicity. Robust casing - I googled where power supply went (maybe my age 😂) Power/charge Lead is plenty long enough for my purpose Portable with areas which feel rubberised so good if you have grip issues Not tested run without power lead time - it’s unlikely to be required for outdoor use by myself Excellent value for money - more than happy to recommend

A really good speaker. Fantastic sound, really good bass. Well worth the money. Good battery life. Really solidly made.

This isn't terribly loud and the sound quality is reasonable but has a bit too much treble. As someone says if you face it backwards it actually sounds better. Good enough for the money. Good battery life and nice and durable design.

I did lots of research before I brought this speaker and I love it. It feels quality made, has some weight to it. The sounds quality is really good. It holds charge really well. It connects easily to my phone and laptop no problem. I love how it looks and the size is perfect for me. Highly recommend

Great speaker!!! Made for mini group social events, personal training or holistic sessions. I mainly use it for when im working with clients. Really good a acoustics, nice bass up feature which doesn't mess with the overall sound quality, also app with EQ can be used to tweak sounds (default setting is well set though) and easy to use, paired with any device thus far and for the price... would be good to have a carry case though, aside from that its bang on!!!

Wow...Now this is what I'm talking about, plain and simple.. battery life-not tested yet so stay tuned for an update.. build quality - nice and heavy... Bluetooth connectivity -simple to pair with yr device..all in all if yr a sucker for music 🎵 like me my advice would be to purchase this Bluetooth speaker, sounds amazing... money well spent...cheers guys ...5 star's

Out of all the speakers I have bought this one is the best so far, very durable, great compact size, looks great, battery life is outstanding and perfect for use in my livingroom.
