To begin with, Anker provided me this SoundCore in exchange for a fair and honest review.
The speaker itself has a nice look and feel to it. The sides and back use a nice soft touch plastic and the grill on the front seems to be a pretty durable type of metal. It also has a nice weight to it, not too light but not too heavy either. The plastic does attract grease and smudges, though.
When I received the item, which was on a friday, I used it to play music for a couple hours that night and a couple the next day, and have currently been playing music on it for about an hour today as of the time of this review and it still has well over half battery. Currently, I've had it for about a week. The battery seemed to have been around 75-50% charge when I received it, and haven't charged it yet. I've used it for about 30 minutes to an hour every morning, and occasionally for an hour or two on a couple of those days, and it's kept its charge very well. As far as I've been able to tell the battery hasn't gotten near 25% yet. Battery so far has been phenomenal, which Anker advertises as 24 hour battery life.
The audio quality is pretty impressive as well. Most of what I've listened to has been rock/metal, with a little bit of bass-heavy music to test out bass. The bass-heavy music did sound better, however all of the music that I listened to sounded crisp and clear, and was very enjoyable to listen on. I also linked it up to my laptop and used it to add more sound to the TV shows I was watching, because my laptop's speakers don't get very loud, and everything sounded fantastic to me.
I still haven't fully tried testing how far the bluetooth with actually reach, but I was able to be about 25ft from the speaker and still have it playing.
Overall,I would recommend this speaker to pretty much anyone looking for a bluetooth speaker. I would also definitely buy this speaker if I hadn't been provided it. It's a solid speaker at fantastic price with great sound. It's priced at $40 on Amazon.
