What customers say about "Key Specs"

Anker SoundCore 2 (AK-A3105014) Bluetooth Speaker

Bluetooth connects perfectly to everything and has a decent range too.
66ft Bluetooth Range: I threw my phone as far away as I could and it still connected.
The bluetooth works perfectly with a good range, so I can leave my i phone playing music safely tucked away in a drawer.
It has a pretty decent range, and has a receiver strong enough to deal with internal walls, wooden desks, and other Bluetooth devices flooding bandwidth.
Bluetooth range was not as far as they advertised, the sound start statistic sound when the phone was about 7-8 m as i was walking around my kitchen.

JBL Flip 4 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker

The battery life is amazing and I believe it does indeed last for the time stated here, if not longer.
It is robust, has a great sound, and the battery life is pretty good too.
The battery life is good, I've only once used it from full charge to empty and it almost lasted the 12 hours stated.
Battery life 12-15 hours. We have it sailing but haven’t had to test its water resistance yet! Sound is excellent and I can walk round the house and down both ends of the garden without losing it
The battery life is shockingly bad. A full charge lasts about two hours when streaming music from my phone...

What customers say about "Features"

Anker SoundCore 2 (AK-A3105014) Bluetooth Speaker

I’ve been enjoying the rich bass of my streamed music ( Spotify ) in the bathroom.
The bass is sick, and with good songs you can feel the bass on full volume which is sick.
The sound is clear and quite detailed, the bass is full and deep.
When playing songs with heavy bass, it can start vibrating my desk which shows the bass is strong in this speaker.
IPX7, waterproof, so ideal for a shower or bathroom environment.

JBL Flip 4 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Excellent sound quality, love that it's waterproof and battery lasts ages.
The sound quality is fantastic for a speaker of its size. I've dropped mine several times and not a scratch and so far totally waterproof. A great buy.
Truly waterproof (tried and tested). Definitely a product worth what it is.
Have used it while power boating, kayaking and around the pool. Good waterproofing.
No problems at all with it. ipx7 waterproof is very good tried it every thing works perfectly.

What customers say about "Interfaces"

Anker SoundCore 2 (AK-A3105014) Bluetooth Speaker

It has excellent sound quality, takes up only a tiny amount of desk space, and is simple to charge via a micro usb lead.
Battery life is excellent and charges with micro USB.
Battery life is fantastic, well constructed and charges via micro usb which is an advantage over the bose and the bose charger is big and bulky.
Good sound, good battery, good range. Unfortunately the USB charge port on this seems a quite fragile.
Battery life is fantastic, well constructed and charges via micro usb which is an advantage over the bose and the bose charger is big and bulky.

JBL Flip 4 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker

The charging cycle doesn’t last long and the speaker comes with a nice USB cable for charging.
A big plus is that it doesn't have the additional weight/headache of batteries as it's usb chargeable!
Connection via USB works without problems, the battery saves a charge for a long time.
I wish the charger came with a plug in for a wall and not just the USB cable.
The micro usb connector is just too weak or doesn't give enough support and ends up breaking on the unit.
