Anker 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker, IPX7 Waterproof, 24H Playtime

A lot of speakers will say they are "waterproof" or "water resistant" and it's a load of BS. This speaker delivers on the promise. When I got it out of the box, the sound was superb and the balancing options in the app give you decent options to customize your sound (admittedly, it could be better, but it's a fairly minor downside). The kicker is that I accidentally dropped it in a bucket while cleaning and it kept on playing audio like nothing happened, so I decided to leave it out of sheer curiosity. 20 minutes later, nothing changed. Sound was still great, and has continued to work just fine even weeks after that happened. It has amazing battery life and is easy to carry on top of all that. For the price, it can't be beat.

TL;DR: - No aux - USB-C charging - Noticeably improved sound compared to gen 1 and gen 2 - much shorter delay in audio to video. No delay when connected to my Google TV Streamer 4k - Easily worth the price point in my opinion I've owned multiple Soundcore 1's and a couple of Soundcore 2's. One of my Soundcore 2's died on me after several years of service (first Soundcore to ever die on me) so I decided to give the Soundcore 3 a try. First of all, I messed up when I ordered this speaker (but I'm glad I did). I assumed this had an Aux port, but it doesn't. That's on me. This wasn't falsely advertised as having one, I had just made the assumption it would because the versions before had them. Unfortunately, what I originally needed it for required an aux jack. Thankfully, I own multiple Soundcores and all the rest have Aux jacks. Most of my Soundcores are driving audio for screens. This is why Aux was so important to me. Bluetooth audio typically has a 1 or 2 second delay. So I tried to find where I could make this work with Bluetooth. I have a Soundcore 1 hooked up to a projector that's being driven by a Google TV Streamer 4K. I know Google's streaming devices are usually pretty good at calculating delay with bluetooth speakers, so I connected the Soundcore 3 to the Google TV Streamer 4k (Not the projector) and it worked beautifully. IF there was ANY delay, it wasn't noticeable to my family and I. Pairing with bluetooth is easy as it was with the previous models: hold down the bluetooth button for a couple of seconds and the speaker will chime and the bluetooth light will flash, indicating it's ready to pair. There is a noticeable improvement to the sound with the Soundcore 3. The sound is clear, crisp, and the bass doesn't drown out the treble or mid. Controls are Simple and should be familiar to anyone who already owns a Soundcore 1 or 2. The middle button is the soundcore logo. It's replaced the play button, but does the same and also mimics many of the classic controls that wireless earbuds have. Example: 1 tap - pause/play. 2 taps - forward a song. 3 taps - restart / previous song The volume buttons are mid left and mid right where they've been on all models. The front has a new design compared to the 1 and 2. It has a very similar body to the soundcore 2 with a matte rubber like finish. It is slightly wider or "deeper" than the soundcore 2 front to back, but is similar in height, length and weight. The USB-C port is an awesome upgrade in my opinion. USB-C can charge devices MUCH faster than micro-USB, so if your device is dead and you need a charge, it can hit max battery a lot faster. VERY happy that I accidentally purchased this. I also tested it on a device that's not friendly with bluetooth delay sync, The delay was noticeable but CONSIDERABLY shorter compared to the Soundcore 1 and 2. I can't wait to start bringing this out by the pool this summer to play music for my family and guests.

I purchased 3 of these about a year ago. They are great for good quality ambient music throughout my home. They don’t really get “party” loud but they are definitely loud enough. I usually keep the volume at half and it’s almost too loud as background music. I have adjusted the equalizer to get the sound just right. They have an app where you can boost the bass. It is easy to pair them together. They connect like any other Bluetooth. The charge lasts but I don’t like to plug and unplug them in. So I just keep them hooked up. Sometimes I hear distortion if I bring my phone close to one of the speakers. Like if I charge my phone near the speaker I hear some fuzz. But it goes away if you move the phone away. I’m considering buying a couple more. I have had other family members who have bought a few based on hearing them in my house.

My old soundcore 2 didn't really last very long battery wise, it would take along time to charge and the quality was fair but not the best, I got this speaker and it was night and day, I wasn't to sure about the upgrade but the sound quality is way better and it holds a charge, But even though it's a way better sound quality and has good bass, it's not very loud even at full volume, so if you are walking around a lot you'll notice it's not loud, but great if you are near it, I love my soundcore speakers being nice durable and reliable, I've had my old soundcore 2 for almost 3 years now, decent price as well!

It sounds good, the BlueTooth was easy to hook-up and it seems to hold its charge well. Time will tell. Anker stuff I have had before were always good gear.

Whoa! The sound carries throughout the house even without turning the volume up high. I downloaded a music app and it links up pronto. The sound is incredible! Such a small item brings any music you feel like listening to anywhere you go. House, basement, garage, patio, anywhere. As long as you link it to your phone, which is a very easy process. And I'm older and not tech savvy. You can choose the type of music you want, or ask it to randomize, or choose a specific artist. Piano music in the background while you read or something with a beat to clean house by. The sky is the limit and the sound is insane.

a must buy!!!seriously, the price for this speaker is absurd. the quality of sound that resonates from this little speaker. you'd think it was 4x the size. a must buy period.

Ist schon beeindruckend was so ein relativer kleiner Bluetooth Lautsprecher zu leisten im Stande ist. Die Verarbeitung des Lautsprechers ist sehr solide, er fühlt sich wertig an und vermittelt den Eindruck von Stabilität. Optik und Haptik gefallen mir sehr gut. Bedienung ist intuitiv und alles funktioniert wie es funktionieren muss / soll. Zum Sound - ich betreibe das Gerät mit Amazon Music und den Standart Einstellungen vom Gerät. Ich empfinde die Lautstärke durchaus ausreichend um Musik hören zu können. Der Klang ist hervorragend, hört sich absolut nicht nach Blechbüchse an, was ist anfangs befürchtet habe. Per App lässt sich der Sound natürlich nicht etwas verstellen und an die eigenen Vorlieben anpassen. Man bekommt hier für einen angemessenen Preis einen kleinen kompakten Begleiter, welcher es einem ermöglicht überall Musik zu hören - ideal für Büro, Camping, Terrasse, etc. Für Party oder ähnliches dürfte Set Sound natürlich nicht ausreichend sein. Auch als Boom Box ist das Gerät nicht geeignet - was aber auch nicht der Anspruch der kleinen Box ist. Für mich ganz klar eine tolle Lösung um Musik genießen zu können, wann und wo ich mag. Der Sound ist glasklar, es hört sich rund und stimmtig an - für alle die auf mehr wert legen als nur auf möglich heftiges bumbumbumbum... Sollten mit der Zeit Qualitätsmängel oder sonstige Defizite auftreten, gibt es an dieser Stelle ein Update dazu. Bis dahin gibt's eine ganz klare Kaufempfehlung von mir die den Soundcore 3 Bluetooth Lautsprecher und die volle Punktzahl von fünf Sternen.

Questa cassa Bluetooth si è rivelata una sorpresa assoluta per la qualità del suono in rapporto alle sue dimensioni compatte. I driver con diaframma in puro titanio restituiscono acuti cristallini e una definizione sonora pazzesca anche al massimo del volume, senza mai gracchiare. La tecnologia proprietaria per il potenziamento dei bassi fa un lavoro eccezionale, regalando un suono corposo e profondo che riempie tranquillamente una stanza o uno spazio all'aperto. La scocca è rivestita in un'ottima gomma opaca che offre una presa salda e una resistenza fantastica agli urti. La certificazione di impermeabilità totale permette di usarla a bordo piscina o sotto la doccia senza alcuna preoccupazione per gli schizzi d'acqua. La nota di merito assoluta va alla batteria, che copre intere giornate di riproduzione con una sola carica tramite la comoda porta di tipo C. Molto utile anche l'applicazione per smartphone, che permette di personalizzare l'equalizzazione in base al genere musicale che si sta ascoltando. Spedizione Amazon fulminea e imballaggio perfetto.

Produto chegou bem embalado e lacrado, sendo exatamente o esperado, Quem for comprar deve ter paciência, pois demora cerca de 1 mês para entrega, mas vale a pena, o produto é bom, tendo boa qualidade sonora e durabilidade da bateria de cerca de 12hrs com o volume quase no nível máximo.

J’avais la sondcor 2 avec un son plaisant, mais pas précis. Alors j’ai acheté la 3 et nettement meilleur. Bien dans les basses et précise. Très bien pour ce mettre en forme, elle est dans la salle de bain.

I’ve been using this speaker for about six months now, and I’m really happy with it. It’s incredibly easy to set up and use, making it perfect for anyone who wants hassle-free connectivity. I also love that it features a USB Type-C charging port so I can just use my macbook charger and reduce the number of cords and wires on my desk. For anyone on a budget who wants reliable sound quality and ease of use, this speaker is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!
