soundcore Select 4 Go Ultra Portable Bluetooth Speaker by Anker, 20H Playtime, IP67 Waterproof and Dustproof, Floatable, Customisable Pro EQ, Wireless Stereo Pairing, Ideal for Home, Outdoors, Hiking

I'm lucky to own dozens of speakers of all shapes, sizes and prices.For the price I paid (£20) this is a cracking little speaker. I would advise using the EQ in the Soundcore app when you start using this little speaker to tweak it to your preference. Once set, the EQ is stored on the speaker, which is great. You can make the high frequencies really shine. You can push the bass a little bit, but too much and the bass drums in songs will sound like fingers tapping on a cardboard box. Not uncommon with small speakers. Really, a bit more bass is the only thing I could possibly wish for with this speaker, keeping price and size in mind.TWS, good battery life, rugged and waterproof, low latency for watching videos without noticeable lip-sync issues, and a pleasant sound.Really shines with acoustic songs, but can get a bit muddy with songs that have busy and full instrumentation - rock music and similar.If you want small, light and inexpensive, you can't go wrong with this option.The soundcore Mini 3 has more bass, but is more expensive and I prefer the form-factor of this cute little speaker. Recommended! Will probably buy a second one.

Very impressed with this little speaker, sound quality exceeded my expectations. Set up is very easy, quickly connects to any Bluetooth device and there is also an app you can download where you can see the battery etc. it’s very portable and sturdy. Great value for money and probably better than any big brand speaker.

So when it comes to speakers and headphones I’m a sucker for trying new stuff. That usually leads to a lighter wallet and a heavier heart. Not that most of the things I’ve bought aren’t “good” as such, just that for some, they blooming well ought to be for the price paid or they lack something or other; no “wow” factor in either quality or value.This is one of those all too rare occasions where I’m proper impressed.Sound quality is always top of the list for me; nothing else matters if you can’t stand listening to the speakers and for small, lightweight speakers these are remarkably good. Worth noting that I’m using two units to deliver stereo. More or that later.Ease of use comes next and if things don’t pair easily I simply can’t be bothered with them. No problems here and unusually the stereo profile as mentioned earlier is retained between use. Fantastic!20 hours of battery life are claimed and to be honest I have no clue if that’s accurate but what I do know it’s more than enough for me and probably most others.Form factor is nice enough with a combination of textile a rubber.The last thing to talk about and perhaps the most significant part is the value for money these offer. I don’t profess to understand soundcore’s product strategy but in my experience with numerous of their products what you pay and the experience you get is not a linear relationship! I have paid top money for some of their kit and come away wishing I hadn’t bothered but on some notable occasions I’ve been blown away by how good something is in relation to what I spent. This is one such occasion……

The media could not be loaded. This speaker is amazing! I got it for work as I misplaced my previous one, seeing the reviews, and knowing anger as a brand was convincing, but my expectations were exceeded.What I love about it:The sound quality is impressive for its size, with solid bass, clear mids, and crisp highs, even at high volumes. I feel like I can compare it to JBL’s. The Bluetooth range is also impressive, I can walk all around without taking it and I don’t have to worry about any drop in connection or distortion.I was worried about the size looking at the picture, but it fits perfectly in my pocket when I need to. It’s lightweight, and the battery lasts almost a full day on a single charge. Plus, the waterproofing is also a great feature, because I know I can rinse it if it gets dusty or whatnot and don’t have to worry.What I feel could’ve been better:I would have preferred if the buttons were bumped out a little bit so I don’t have to look at the speaker whenever I need to change a song or adjust the volume.What I think need to be looked at:There’s no way to check the battery level,both from your phone or on the speaker itself, which is a let down, cos it would be nice to know.I just noticed the app shows bars for the battery, although it would be nice to integrate the battery percentage check to phone settings, if rather take a glance on my phone to see the battery level of all devices than to open the app for that.I’m only giving a 4 star because of the 2 issues I mentioned, other than that, it’s a speaker. And a complete steal for the price.I’d highly recommend it.

I bought one of these for my girlfriend to use for her dressage to music - basically, it is playing music from her iPhone on a shelf at the edge of a modestly sized indoor equestrian arena - I'm told that it is 40m x 20m so probably never further than about 20m away. She told me that it can be heard loud and clear from the opposite side and isn't close to being at full volume. She has been asked many times where she got it from by friends at her yard.So, I decided to get one for myself and I have to say, I am very impressed plus having two between us means that we can pair them in stereo which is a cool extra feature. The battery life seems to be pretty much as claimed at about mid-volume.It may lack a few features which I probably wouldn't miss, but that makes it easier to use. I'm sure that the audio is far from perfect but this is for casual use not meant to be used in a studio but still has impressive bass for a small portable device.I hesitated before buying the first one but really needn't have - it is great value for money.
