Excellent shower/bathroom speaker
I bought this speaker for my fiancee to use in her bathroom. I was looking for a handful of features:1) small size and fairly light weight, since it would need to either fit on her (crowded 😅) sink countertop or hang from a hook in the shower. This is not the absolute smallest Bluetooth speaker you can get, but it’s pretty close so it checked that box.2) good sound for its size. I wanted something that had more thump and clarity than a phone speaker, otherwise what’s the point? Reviews led me to believe this would do the trick, and listening to it now (I may have temporarily commandeered it for the purposes of science, of course) it definitely exceeds my expectations. It won’t rattle your chest at this size, but kick drums have a proper thump and bass lines that your phone speaker might not even emit are clearly present here. Another nice feature is that this speaker gets decently loud (definitely as loud as you’d ever need in a bathroom) and the sound quality doesn’t fall apart as you hit max volume the way many other speakers, especially smaller speakers, do. You can play this thing at its full volume happily, so it’s not effectively capped at 80% the way some other Bluetooth speakers are due to deteriorating sound quality at their top volumes. Bass is modest but present, mids are very smooth, and the treble is not muffled- it’s perfectly crisp at all the higher frequencies. About the most one can expect from this size class.3) good price. There are many speakers around this size that exceed $50 and some that even stretch over $100. I’m not convinced you can do much better than this sound quality without purchasing an outright larger speaker. For ~$25, this is a great value.So it checked my main three boxes, but it also comes with some extra party tricks: it has pretty decent battery life, I’ve seen tests which suggest it will play >10 hours on a full charge. That’s plenty for a bathroom speaker, I think. You can also pair two together for full stereo sound which, based on my listening so far, might actually be more satisfying than you’d think for some pretty small units. Even if you had two that are mostly used on their own in separate bathrooms, it’s nice to know you have that option. Additionally, it has an EQ in the soundcore app which both has preset options as well as a fully-customizable EQ option. Fairly uncommon feature for speakers under $30.All in all, I think this is one of the best values you’ll find for a Bluetooth speaker of this size/price. As long as you understand this is a great option for personal listening in the shower, bathroom, or a small office and not the best idea for starting a party, I think you’ll be satisfied.It is a just a bit larger than you are probably imagining. In my head it was basically the size of a bar of soap, but in real life it’s closer to the size of a 12 ounce can. It’s a different shape obviously, but I’d say the overall size is very similar. Anywhere you could place a can, you could place this too.One last note: while there isn’t a huge difference either way I’ve found that the best sound quality comes from hanging it by the built-in fabric loop. The sound seems just a little more crisp and clear, probably due to fewer vibrations reverberating into any surface.

Works perfectly fine for my needs. I usually place it in a side pocket of my small backpack to enjoy some music while I am on a bike ride or something like that. It fits very well even though the side pockets are small. Sound is good: clear, no distortions. It is not high-end audio of course but very decent sound for a small portable speaker.The controls are simple, no problem connecting to a source.The only relative disadvantage is: it does not provide feedback (visible on the device itself or through Bluetooth device status) regarding the battery level. The way I made it work for me is to use their own app (not a music player) and see the status there. And even there it is not a percentage but just a visual indicator with several bars to show roughly the level. Not a big deal though, just a step to remember to check from time to time. And a fully charged battery lasts for a long time.It seems well built. Hopefully will last long.

An awesome little speaker that sounds amazing like most soundcore stuff. I purchased mainly due to it’s longer battery life in comparison to other popular speakers on the market & amazing sound quality & I can easily attach it to my backpack. Great Value for money! 5 STARS! 👌
