Another cheaper option with better battery, I think is this:
https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B016XTADG2Black version is cheaper.
I use this version and the battery life is insanely good. Very happy with the audio clarity too.
Is it a good price?
Also comparitively it states 3w output as compared to 20w on speaker on OPs post.I payed about $50 when i got it 2 years ago and am pleased with the value. I usually have it fairly quiet but it goes louder than I would need.
Wanted a cheap speaker to live on my office desk that wouldn't catch too many eyes.
My only gripe is, there's a high pitch whining noise if I try to charge via USB and AUX-in from the same PC. Not really an issue though as the battery is so large, and I can blutooth from my phone when I need to charge.
Just upgraded this to the boost on black Friday sales… Boost is heaps better sound and I'm still surprised at how long the battery lasts.
I recently bought this one (Soundcore 1) and for some reason only get mono when using the aux-in (stereo when Bluetoothed). Have tried multiple sources and cables. Anker support can't/won't tell me if this is normal. Can someone test for me if they get stereo out of aux-in?
IA!!I have stereo playback via AUX. Left channel through left speaker, right through right.
Thanks. So it's dodgy :(
Price has been around this for a while according to Camelx3.
"customers who bought this also bought.." Johnny Walker Red Label?
I'm sold!
Does this support Google assistant or Alexa?
I have this, but I am not sure I would recommend it.
I got mine about 2 years ago for $79 (so not sure this is that great of a deal) and I have probably used it a max of 10 times.
It seems like whenever I went to use it it was dead, even if when I last used it, it had a full charge, if its completely dead it won't even work whilst plugged in.
Either it wasn't turning itself off or the battery is draining when not in use.This might be a fault with mine specifically as it does have great reviews.. also Ankers support is usually pretty good if the product is in warranty.
My JBL Flip 3 has recently died (won't charge), so I ended up buying this unit myself after a bit of a look around. Only saw the thread here now!
This guy does great reviews on YouTube, here is his take on this SoundCore Boost (not likely the 2020 model though): https://youtu.be/7R1Lb47IQI8
That review pretty much sold me. In some of the musical samples, it sounds better than the Flip 4, and the bass can always be tweaked in a music app such as Poweramp.
No doubt that the Amazon RRP is a tad inflated, no way you'd pay $150 for this. The best competing price I could see was Tobydeals at $98 or so, and you'd be waiting.
So I reckon this a solid buy at $77. I'd probably lean towards a Flip 4 if there was one in Clearance at this price, but I need something now.
It states "Micro USB charging cable" in the description at the top, but states " USB-C Connectivity Use the included USB-C cable" just below the photo at the bottom.
It would appear from the reviews that as the O.P states it has been upgraded to USB-C and Bluetooth 5.0.
I have 2 Anker bluetooth speakers (not this one) and really love them both, and with 17,000 reviews and 4.6 stars you gotta think this is going to be a good speaker!
