I liked the original soundcore motion boomit’s on our list of the best Bluetooth speakers and is one of the best mini boombox Bluetooth speakers of the past few years, selling for around $80. At 3.75 pounds, the Boom 2 is a little more expensive, but with more than twice the rated output of the original, it sounds a lot better. So not only can it play louder, but it also brings out more bass and provides more clarity at higher volume (equipped with two Boom 2s). one tweeter and one subwoofer). It also has some built-in LED lights to help create a party atmosphere. Here are our favorite Cyber Monday headphone deals.

Why I prefer Anker speakers
The speaker’s design isn’t all that sleek or eye-catching – there are three color options to choose from – but it’s attractive enough and just the right size, not too big or small. Although it is not dustproof, it seems to be quite durable. Boom 2 is fully waterproof (IPX7 rated) and will float even if it falls into a body of water. Additionally, there is also a USB output port for charging your devices.

The speaker has built-in LED lights that pulsate and change color in time with the music.
Battery life is also good. This speaker is rated for up to 24 hours of playback at moderate volume levels (which is great since it charges via USB-C), and you can use the Soundcore app for iOS and Android to and customize the lighting. Enabling bass boost or enabling LED lighting will reduce battery life.

Another Anker speaker to consider
If you’re looking for even more powerful sound, Anker has you covered. sound core boom 2 plus. A larger speaker with similar features to the Boom 2, but with more sound. However, it costs about $180 and I don’t think the sound quality is twice as good as the Boom 2 (25%-30% better). However, it is also reasonably priced, making it perfect as a small gift.
