Anker Super-Portable Bluetooth Speaker Soundcore Mini with 15-Hour Playtime, Wireless Speaker with 66-Foot Bluetooth Range, Enhanced Bass, Noise Cancelling Microphone, For Outdoor, Travel, Home

Brilliant little speaker. Nice and small and handy. Great sound

Superb little speaker. Amplifies very well - crisp and clear. Robustly made too. Good internal battery life with quick recharge. I have used it nearly daily since purchasing it nearly two years ago and it’s as good now as it was then.

I am never one to write reviews, in fact this is my first, but this speaker has changed me. Do not get me wrong, it does not have the best sound quality by any means, nor is it that loud, especially in an outside setting. That being said, the loudness is just about perfect for a chill out with some mates, and the sound quality is acceptable. When inside it is not too bad, but as mentioned outside, it is not the best. I managed to purchase this on Prime Day, heavily discounted, which was an added bonus. The amount of times I dropped it, in the first couple years of ownership, and it still worked, surprised me - dropping it on all surfaces seemed to have no effect: grass, carpet and concrete all had no effect. Surprisingly, the single bit of cosmetic damage it has picked up in its life time was the smallest of dents in the top of speaker, caused by a cologne bottle in a rucksack - which I found rather amusing. Although, all of this is irrelevant. What really made me write this review is what happened a few weeks ago. I had taken the speaker kayaking with some friends, which was easy with the Soundcore Mini being so small. I had stuffed it down the side of me in the kayak, and as I was only on a fun little paddle with some friends I had opted not to attach the kayak's spray skirt. Forgetting that I had not attached it, I did a sharp turn, causing the Soundcore Mini to fall out of the kayak and into the lake. Initially I had not realised that the speaker had fallen in - all I heard was a splash. I frantically looked around the kayak to see what was missing, hoping it wasn't my phone, or worse, my lunch. It was not until a friend pointed out they could see my speaker sinking to the bottom of the lake, that I realised that my companion, of now five years, was drowning. That endless bubbles rising to the surface further fuelled my panic. I thought 'I am going in after it', but that is easier said than done. Trying to jump out of a river runner kayak, which is rather overkill for a lake, is incredibly difficult without capsizing. I eventually got in the water, and watched as the last few bubbles rose to the surface. I dove down, and by some miracle I actually found the speaker on the lake floor. In total, the speaker would have been fully submerged in water for two minutes. I returned to land and connected to my speaker. To my surprise it actually turned on. Even more surprisingly, I could connect to it. I played a song. The sound was incredibly muffled. I decided the best thing to do was to play heavily bass boosted music on maximum volume, and place the speaker upside down so the water could escape. After doing this for about two days on and off, the speaker sorted itself out, and the sound quality and volume was back to how it was before going for a swim. May I also point out that the speaker is not advertised as being waterproof. Never have I been more amazed in my life. If you want a pretty cheap, INDESTRUCTIBLE speaker, that you can just throw in your bag and take wherever, no matter the conditions, weather, location, etc. then this is the one. A compromise on sound quality and volume is needed, but when you are out and someone asks if anyone has a speaker, you can be the plug and, this is definitely better than not having one at all. One improvement I think could be made, although it is easier said than done from a production perspective, is to add a loop or hole that you could pass a carabiner through, so the speaker could be attached to the side of a rucksack or a belt. Also, you could attach it to the kayak seat... just in case. But to be fair, I just put it in the bottle holder on the side of my rucksack and that works perfectly fine. Side note: if bored it makes a good substitute for a ball to play catch with.

I bought this speaker for my nephews birthday,he was really delighted with it. It’s a great little speaker,perfect size to take away if you’re travelling,going to uni or just handy to have at home! The sound quality is amazing, it connects up to Bluetooth easily & is very easy to use. All in all it’s a great buy.

Had this for 7 years and I'm still always amazed at the sound quality for something so small and portable. Charge still lasts ages too

The sound quality is amazing and they last a while I’ve already had 2 and had 4 years out of each one they are worth the money definitely

I love this little speaker. I take it with me on holiday and it's a nice little boom box for the hotel room. The sound is much better than what your phone can produce, and it's surprisingly loud and clear for something so small. Bluetooth connectivity is a doddle, and the battery seems to last well between charges. I've got a few Anker-branded items now, and they all work brilliantly. Fast becoming a go-to brand that offers great value for money.

Really good little speaker. Sounds great for saying how small it is. I would recommend!
