soundcore Anker 3 Bluetooth Speaker with Stereo Sound, Titanium Drivers

Simple to set up and a really good quality rich sound that fills the room,, battery lasts long, worth every penny, if if your sitting on the fence should you buy it YES you won't be disappointed. God bless Clive

I love the Soundcore 3 (S3) speaker. It has fantastic sound reproduction at a really low price. Initially, the speaker is configured to have a blinking light and sound effects when switching on/off or connecting to devices but these can be switched off, if you read the instructions very carefully. I finally decided to buy a dedicated BT speaker to save my portable Guitar amp from being abused for the role. Of all on the market, the Anker really stands out for features and price, plus, my daughter has had a Soundcore 2 (S2) for a few years and so I knew how good they were. In comparison with an S2, the S3 has improved bass and so I can listen to podcasts at lower volume. Phone calls are also excellent quality, with the ability to hold one call whilst answering another too, as with the S2. The app really takes this unit to another level as one can shape the sound or control the configuration, like turning off the sound effects. Through the app, one can activate a bass boost, for use only with the pre-configured soundscapes. However, I have found that, for podcasts, customising the sound with the EQ low levels raised is far more effective for getting a deep timbre. So, I won't be using the 'voice' setting. Physically, the S3 is larger than the S2. As a motorcyclist, who travels extensively and works from location to location, size is a critical logistical factor. I personally love the size of the S2 and think that were I to need the Aux in socket, which is removed on the S3, I would probably have bought it over the S3 for practical reasons. I think the rubber coating is possibly a little more robust too. What has been improved for the S3 are the buttons which require less pressure to activate and travel a shorter distance to those of the S2. These differences make using the speaker far more pleasant but, of course, only noticeable if comparing the S2 to the S3. Effects and turning them off --------------------------------- There are two effects used by the speaker when you first switch it on. A blinking white BT light to the right and sound effects when switching on, off or connecting to devices. I find both effects pointless and distracting so I was very pleased to learn they can be switched off. To do so, however, is not immediately obvious and so I thought I'd include the steps here. 1. Switching off blinking white light. To turn off, or rather switch light to stead blue, press and hold the BT symbol until the light turns blue. Repeat to go back to a white blinking light 2. Turn off all sound effects. You will require the app to turn off the sound effects which are activated when switching on or off the speaker, and when entering the various connection settings. Rather confusingly, the setting is called 'Voice prompt'. Turning 'Voice prompt' off will mute all effects. I think my confusion came when I associated 'Voice prompt' with electronic assistants, like Siri! Still, if you've read this far, you now know it is simply a poorly labelled feature. Summary ----------- The Soundcore 3 is a great BlueTooth speaker with excellent sound reproduction and great bass response for use with podcasts. The buttons and robust rubber exterior are enhanced from that of the previous model. It is also larger and more heavy that its predecessor. Whilst there are lighting and sound effects initially, these can be muted or switched off to minimise distractions. A great addition is the inclusion of a well thought out App to control the sound profile some config settings of the speaker.

I didn't know what to expect in terms of volume and bass management but for what it is i would totally recommend it. During this summer it has become my go to musical device. It is very versatile device and very easy to connect to your mobile phone/ laptop/PC and away you go. The range of the device is ok but not brilliant, However i haven't really had an opportunity to test this in an outdoor space and indoor spaces can be affected by other devices. It is built really well and has a sleek modern appearance, has excellent volume and bass, also the battery life is very good and the power lasts for a long time

Although this model is a few years old now it's still a cracker. Solid build, compact, looks great, super functionality including set up and options, quite a volume too. Not ultra high-end sound but still a very fine sound indeed especially when customised via Soundcores brilliant app. For my needs, filling a fair sized room with an output you can appreciate its job done. Can't recommend highly enough. I never give 5 stars straight away to any product where durability is a factor. I normally update after 12 months of normal use.

The best value speaker for the money, excellent battery life, crystal clear sound, base you can fell and no speaker rattle like some budget speakers. I will be buying more of these as you can like upto 100 what a sound product.

This is a really good little speaker. I want something to use outside or holidays that easily linked to the iphone and this does the job. Doesn't sound tinny and workd easily and holds charge for a good length of time

Bought this as a modest upgrade from my previous bluetooth speaker, which was also an Anker, and gave me several years of sterling service. It's an absolute cracker, solidly built, nicely weighty, easy to pair and use, and with with a clear but meaty sound. Whether for podcasts or music streaming, I wouldn't choose any other brand. Very happy.

A fantastic speaker at an amazing price. My Bose Soundlink Mini 2 is on the blink so I had to either get the battery changed and/or something else repaired or replace it and, thank goodness, I decided to buy the Anker Soundcore 3. I cannot speak too highly of it. The sound is excellent and chose the grey/beige model which it fits well with everything. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Don't hesitate, buy it.

Amazing speaker

Excelente opción, muy buena bocina, muy buena calidad de sonido

Presa più per curiosità che per necessità, vista l'interessante offerta in occasione del Black Friday, non posso che dirmi soddisfatto. Sono già felice possessore del modello precedente, la SoundCore2, da ormai 6 o 7 anni che dà ancora ottima mostra di sé. Questa evoluzione del modello, ha dimensioni leggermente superiori e pesa circa 100g in più (anche se la sensazione è che sia più leggera). Esteticamente più curata, molto belli i diffusori in titanio che si intravvedono attraverso la griglia metallica. Più essenziale, non ha sportellini in gomma da aprire, nonostante (se non sbaglio) una impermeabilità maggiore. La presa, a differenza della mia "vecchietta" è diventata usb C ed è stato eliminato il jack da 3.5, ma questa è ormai la prassi. Sicuramente comoda la possibilità di montare un robusto cordino per il trasporto (presente nella confezione). Venendo all'utilizzo: l'accoppiamento e la connessione bluetooth sono istantanei, come per tutti i prodotti Anker da me provati. La vera differenza però la si sperimenta una volta accesa. La SoundCore3 ha la possibilità di essere controllata con l'apposita app di Anker e con questa utilizzare un ottimo equalizzatore che ha 4 impostazioni di fabbrica, ma soprattutto la possibilità di impostare numerose regolazioni custom (ho provato a memorizzarne 7 e non sembrerebbe esserci un limite) rinominandole a piacere. La gamma dei suoni ottenibili è molto ampia, da bassi profondissimi ad alti chiari e squillanti, passando per frequenze medie veramente molto efficaci; anche ascoltando generi di musica molto diversi, questa cassa, utilizzando l'equalizzatore nel modo corretto, è in grado di regalare un'ottima esperienza di ascolto. Utilizzandola come vivavoce per il telefono, la chiamata è chiara e pulita in entrambe le direzioni. Concludendo, mi sento assolutamente di consigliarla. Un bel passo avanti rispetto al pur ottimo modello precedente. Mi sentirei di dire, ottima in assoluto, ma con rapporto qualità/prezzo imbattibile quando proposta al prezzo Black Friday (€34).

Good bargain for the product

Produto chegou bem embalado e lacrado, sendo exatamente o esperado, Quem for comprar deve ter paciência, pois demora cerca de 1 mês para entrega, mas vale a pena, o produto é bom, tendo boa qualidade sonora e durabilidade da bateria de cerca de 12hrs com o volume quase no nível máximo.
