soundcore Anker Boom 2 Plus Outdoor Speaker, 140W BassUp 2.0 | Bluetooth Speaker with 2+2 Channel Sound, 20H Playtime, IPX7 Waterproof, RGB Lights, Fast Charge, USB-C & Power Bank

I've been thoroughly impressed with the Soundcore Anker Boom 2 Plus. Right out of the box it sounds good, but my biggest piece of advice is to give the drivers time to burn in. After a period of use, the sound really opens up, with improved clarity, deeper bass, and a more balanced overall presentation. It's definitely worth being patient, as the improvement over time is noticeable. The build quality is excellent. It feels robust, well-made, and designed to withstand regular use, while the battery life is outstanding. You can enjoy hours of playback without constantly worrying about recharging, making it ideal for parties, outdoor gatherings, or simply everyday listening. One of the standout features is the Soundcore app. Don't just stick with the default sound settings—take some time to experiment with the built-in equaliser. Whether you use the presets or create your own custom EQ, finding the right sound profile for your taste makes a huge difference. The time you invest in tweaking the EQ will definitely pay off. Overall, this is an exceptional Bluetooth speaker that delivers performance far beyond its price point. Excellent sound, premium build quality, fantastic battery life, and extensive sound customisation make it an easy recommendation. Buy it without hesitation—it's incredible value for money.

I received this little monster for my birthday as a convenient portable speaker for summer camping and whatnot. It's made from a resin-like high density plastic that gives the unit a genuinely solid and surprisingly heavy feel. The carry handle is molded into the body as a single piece so that ain't breaking anytime soon. Now to the sound....I'm a lifelong techno/house music type and wasn't expecting all that much, either in terms of fidelity or power, especially for less than £150 but boy was I wrong! The bass soundstage that this thing belts out is borderline mindblowing. This 'little' smart speaker must been at the steroids as it is able to generate actual 40Hz sub base! This is not something I thought I'd be contending with but it sits in those lows and it sits there comfortably with zero detectible audio distortions even at 80% volume. I didn't see the point of putting it on full volume given that it's maximum peaks out at 103 decibels and I don't want to annoy the neigbours...two streets away. The dedicated app is a breeze to install and gives you a surprising amount of control to both the audio and jazzy onboard RGB lights mounted in the ends of the passive sub. Oh yeah, it has a passive sub just built right on in there. For the money this thing has to be a solid 5/5.

I've had this speaker for 18 months. I've used it in a wide range of situations, it's my go-to speaker at home when I'm working in the kitchen. I used it to play the walk in and registry signing music at a friend's wedding, plus paying backing tracks for karaoke. I recently had it at my daughter's house warming party, it was on all night and still going when we went back the next day. It tipped down with rain at the party and the speaker is genuinely waterproof. That night the local estate FB group was posting "Sounds like somebody's got a party, I'm jealous"! From quiet to all the way up it sounds fantastic and is properly loud even the bass sounds clean right at the max and the battery just seems to go for ever.

It has been over 6 months since I have received this speaker and thought it was time to leave a review. Purchased as an upgrade to the (frankly excellent) ‘motion +’. This is a beast of a speaker! If you are fan of bass heavy music, I can’t recommend this highly enough. Definitely fits into the party speaker category. I am yet to meet someone who isn’t noticeably blown away when the bass line kicks in, so much noise from a (relatively) small speaker. You can of course turn the thunderous bass off for a more mellow sound. Personally I leave it on regardless of the style of music (currently listening to a mix of 70’s and 80’s as i write, however also listen to alot of edm, rap ect) as I feel it adds warmth where it was otherwise lacking. The accompanying app allows you to adjust the equaliser to your own tastes, however I have found the ‘soundcore signature’ setting to be good enough that it doesn’t need tweaking (be aware of early reviews before a much welcome update which slated the sound quality, it’s far better now). My sons received the delivery for me so i told them to have a play with it, I received a text message a few minutes later simply saying “OH MY GOD”, the boys were very impressed by it’s ability to shake the house. All day battery life. I’ve never ran it out despite having it fairly loud and on for the majority of the day. Does take a fair while to charge up though. You can charge your phone or other devices from the usb-C port at the rear so it doubles as a power-bank should you need to charge an item whilst out and about. It has some nice lighting integrated with the passive radiators at the sides. These do a great job of adding a nice visual touch to the sound while they move and shake (quite aggressively at higher volumes) to the beat. Again, these can also be turned off, which in turn will increase your battery life. Waterproof. Personally I have never tested this claim, plenty of others have though so it’s nice to know you can have this at a pool or balanced on the edge of a hot-tub or even working in the rain and not have to worry in the slightest. As you can tell, I’m a fan. This goes in my subwoofer-less car and honestly does a great job at bridging that gap. It gets a lot of use as an indoor speaker, replacing the need for a larger hi-Fi system, and often goes on trips with us. So far it’s been flawlessly reliable, not once have I had an issue. This is my 3rd Soundcore speaker and by far the most impressive.

Really happy with this speaker, used for a beach party recently and couldn't be happier. Sounds is amazing and extremely loud and bass is awesome. Heavy ish speaker definitely not light but wouldn't expect it to be. Manageable though. Adjustable eq in the app. Connects easily and first time after pairing. Battery life is actually great. Used for a few hours at the beach and it's still got more than %50. Quite large but the sounds is very loud. Not exactly an audiophiles dream but more than enough for most people.

I’ve been using the Soundcore Anker Boom 2 Plus for a while now, and overall it’s a really impressive outdoor speaker. The sound quality is powerful and clear, with strong bass that you can actually feel—BassUp 2.0 makes a noticeable difference, especially for outdoor use. It gets very loud (140W) without distorting, which is perfect for gatherings, garden use, or the beach. The battery life is solid, easily lasting close to the advertised 20 hours depending on volume. Fast charging is a big plus, and the power bank feature is genuinely useful when you’re outdoors. I also like the IPX7 waterproof rating, which makes it stress-free around water, and the RGB lights add a fun vibe at night (though you can turn them off if you want to save battery). If I had to point out anything, it’s a bit bulky and heavy, so not the easiest to carry around for long distances—but that’s expected for the power it delivers. Overall, a great choice if you want loud, bass-heavy sound with durability for outdoor use. Definitely worth considering.

This is a killer speaker the same as the the more expensive pro version which I returned because I couldnt handle the dust build up being an ocd sufferer. As opposed to jbl speakers like the boomboxes the bass is fuller and more upper tuning making the boom2 plus like the Pros much louder while the boombox sounds thin and even though they have deeper bass the thin sound is abit hit and miss great for indoors but not so much outdoors. The boom2 plus and pros excels for outdoor performance by far. One thing I also like over the Pro versions is the plus has 2 different colours that the Pro doesn't either way these speakers rock. Get the cheaper one if your not bothered About dust proofing or the extra ipx rating if so then get the Pro. If you want power These speakers are a must. The only disappointment was the delivery currier and package wasn't wrapped with outer box and product box was opened on one side luckely no damage was done. But knocked a star off because of the currier. Terrable service needs to be fired. Aha

Incredible piece of kit, extremely loud, can't imagine you would ever need it above half volume. My favourite band in the world is THE PRODIGY so you can imagine i love my bass which this thing delivers in truck loads, even delivers at very low volume if you want which is unusual normally you woukd have to crank up the volume to get the bass to perform but not with this beast, the quality of the audio is excellent. If your not a bass fan then no problem at all bass can be turned off and the EQ is great for customising the sound to exactly what you want.... you can download the SOUNCORE app on to your phone and control the whole speaker system from there.... the dancing lights on both ends can be customised or turned completely off, I would recommend this for anyone that likes music, the battery life is brilliant you can see on the app exactly how much you have left... you can still use it while it's charging..

Der Sound der Anker Motion Boom Plus 2 ist wirklich beeindruckend. Für die Größe kommt richtig Druck raus, die Bässe sind kräftig und auch bei höherer Lautstärke bleibt der Klang sauber. Perfekt für Garten, Camping, Festival oder einfach eine kleine Outdoor-Party. 🔊 Der Akku hält sehr lange und man muss sich keine Sorgen machen, dass nach ein paar Stunden Schluss ist. Die Verarbeitung wirkt robust und durch die IP67-Zertifizierung ist sie auch für draußen bestens geeignet. Ein kleiner Minuspunkt: Durch die Größe und das Gewicht ist sie nicht unbedingt etwas, was man den ganzen Tag herumträgt. Für den Weg zum Camp, in den Garten oder an den See aber absolut okay. Was mir persönlich noch fehlt: Ein SD-Karten-Slot wäre richtig praktisch gewesen. Damit könnte man Musik direkt abspielen und wäre nicht immer auf ein Handy oder eine Bluetooth-Verbindung angewiesen. Alles in allem eine richtig starke Box für draußen – viel Sound, langer Akku und ideal für Camping, Gartenpartys und Festivals. Klare Empfehlung! 👍

Muy buen equipo suena muy bien

First, a couple of qualifiers: My five-star review is heavily influenced by how much this costs and how impressed I am with it as a stand-alone unit. This is not necessarily a five-star product compared to other products that cost hundreds of dollars more than this, or are competing in otherwise entirely separate classes or categories. This is a five-star review of a $170 (at the time of purchase) boombox. You may be cross-shopping this with other products that cost more, or are otherwise higher-end or competing in different spaces, and I'm not attempting to suggest this is as good as, better, or worse than those. If I'm comparing to anything else, I'll note that in my review. Some background: I exist almost entirely in the JBL ecosystem. I have a JBL Xtreme, and a couple of JBL Charge speakers of differing generations. I've never not been happy with my JBL products, but I just spent a long weekend at a cabin with friends and took my JBL Xtreme speaker as portable sound. Not a complaint, necessarily, about the Xtreme, but when we got home and I was moving things around, it slipped out of my hand and landed on the tile floor, breaking some of the trim. Entirely cosmetic, but I decided I needed something more purpose designed for moving around, i.e. something with a handle. My immediate instinct was to look at the JBL Boombox. But wow is it expensive. I've dabbled in Anker/Soundcloud products before, and as much as I've wanted to love them, I just haven't. Most of them have been returned, because of audio issues, connectivity issues, or just general quality of construction problems. But this kept popping up in my searches, and people seemed to be happy with it. I figured maybe they've finally hit the mark. And at $80 less than listing price, I figured it was a pretty low risk gamble. I've been pretty happy so far with it. It's solid and feels sturdy. The sound quality, especially after you give it some time to break in, feels like it punches well above its weight. With the Bass-up feature turned on, it's very bassy, but not like Beats by Dre bass. It doesn't make the sound muddy. Just punchy. Compared to the JBL Xtreme, it definitely doesn't feel as high-end of construction. But it feels well put together. Some more premium materials-- like rubberized instead of hard plastics-- would be nice, but they probably don't affect the overall experience. One thing I will note is that the JBL sounds better inside, but the Soundcore sounds better outside. The JBL needs walls for its optimal sound. The Soundcore doesn't seem to rely as heavily on them. I can't compare it to the JBL Boombox, but that's also a lot more expensive, so I don't feel like that's a fair comparison. The custom EQ settings are fine, but I think it's fine using Soundcore's "signature" EQ setting for most music. The lights are fun, but I ultimately turned them off for battery longevity. I've not tested the water resistance, and don't plan to, but I'll trust them on their rating. I can't comment on the Auracast, as of now, but the party-mode from JBL has been pretty disappointing, so if it's at least as good as that, it's fine. Overall, this is exactly what I want for exactly what I need: a portable speaker for picnics, beach, cabin, etc. It's much louder than it deserves to be. At home, I've kept the outdoor volume around 40% to not annoy the neighbors. It's not the nicest, or most impressive, or sexiest rig out there. But I can confidently say it's a solid entry in the relatively inexpensive portable boombox market.

Fabulous speaker to have on the deck to enjoy music on a hot day. I had the Soundcore Boom+ for several years and thought it was time to upgrade. The Boom 2 Plus is significantly larger and heavier. It comes with a carry strap, but I wouldn't want to lug this around. It's heavy. I set it on the deck and it vibrates it with well balanced bass. It can get quite louder than the old Boom+. Very easy to set up in the app and you can control everything from there. The EQ helps dial in the sound to what you want. Unlike the old Boom+, the Boom 2 Plus doesn't come with a USB-A port so you can't also use it as a USB charger, but it's not a big loss to me. It has USB-C for charging, but haven't tested if it's bidirectional. All in all, it's an excellent upgrade.

Compré con pocas expectativas sin conocer la marca. Este equipo es de muy alta calidad, nada a lo que me esperaba. Gran diseño de buenos materiales, buen peso, portabilidad (como si tuvieras una mochilita cruzada cuando usas la correa) y lo más importante gran sonido (sonido fuerte, sin distorsión de ningún tipo) con unos bajos brutales. Es demasiado equipo para el costo. Lo recomiendo ampliamente
