Anker Soundcore Boom 2 Review

The Soundcore Boom 2 is the follow-up to the Motion Boom and has many similar features. It has an IPX7 waterproof and floatable build, 80W booming bass, dual 15W tweeters that deliver crisp highs and deep bass, and LED lighting in the passive radiators, which is fun. It’s a fantastic option for handling any adventure.

The Ultimate Ears Boom 3 is even more portable and has an IP67 water and dustproof rating, but the Boom 2 is much better choice if you want a Bluetooth speaker with longer playtime up to 24 hours on a single charge, and with the built-in power bank keep your phone powered up.

But if your budget is around $100 than Boom 2 is considerable choice with features like customizable EQ and the ability to connect up to 100+ speakers, and offers high-quality audio experience with powerful bass with BassUp️ 2.0.
