@@mommymkis I have not checked that one out, however from what i can tell from the listing on resellers there are 3 different versions of the flare: The Mini The + (plus) & the regular version. Main difference seem to be ipx rating, battery life, and driver (speaker size). Should be fairly samey otherwise. If you want more indepth information you could check amazon and compare the specifications, or check the manufacturers website for more detailed information (soundcore is the manufacturer for those, not Anker)
@@niina83 Oh, I see. I've already checked the website and I think I'll go with the flare 1. I like the specs and the price is just right within my budget. Thanks for your response, appreciate it. 😀
I think the Soundcore 2 sounds a bit better here. I suppose it’s down to a personal choice but seeing as I’ve already had the Soundcore 2 (which I really like) for about a year, I’m possibly a bit biased. I’ve also recently acquired a Tronsmart Element Force 40W and for some listening, I prefer that one. The three EQ bass settings deliver a bit more depth than the Soundcore 2. Again, it’s all down to personal choice and personal listening preferences. There is one further element to consider. Price. Both Soundcore 2 and the Tronsmart Element Force were very competitively priced when compared to other bluetooth speakers that delivered similar sounds in their respective class. I could have easily spent twice the price for several speakers that provide relatively similar sound output.
In other words: Soundcore 1: Less Bass - Slightly longer battery life. Soundcore 2: More Bass - Slightly shorter battery life. I went with More Bass. Slightly shorter battery life. The battery on the Soundcore 2 is still long enough to last a couple of days of full use, so my choice was easy...i want that extra bit of bass son!
@@Sarith_sagae I was just using it 10 minutes ago! I put it in the hood of my hoodie whilst walking the dog, it still sounds like a beast and the battery life is still behaving like brand new. The speaker is still the best one of its size and mobility, for sure. Soundcore 2 was definitely the right decision to me. I use it probably an hour daily and need to charge it probably once every 3 weeks. The extra BASS on Soundcore 2 made all the difference for me, especially because i listen to bass-heavy music like Drum + Bass and Dubstep
I think the Anker Soundcore 2 sounds Better, Better BASS and less harsh highs. Also to me the Anker Soundcore 2 looks more modern with it's rounded edges and corners.
I purchased the Soundcore 1 and after watching this video I’m happy I did. I think the separation in the audio was better on the Soundcore 1, the second gen seemed to be more driven and pushed.
If you start hearing a cracking sound with the speaker chances are the speaker has developed a few tear's along is flexible foam diaphragm. You need to use a butter knife to remove the frontal metal mesh front. no worries its not screwed in , its glued in, and you wont damage it if you take your time. But it does take some effort to pry off. then all you have to do is press down on the speakers to find the tear's. then simply apply some glue to those areas. I suggest glues that dont get rock hard, but rather those like gorilla glue, wood glue, or 3m spray adhesive. Those glues cure with elasticity properties. so they will work best with the vibration of a speaker. apply it with a brush and make sure the glue covers the splits, wait for it to dry then put the mesh cover back on. the speaker should no longer make noises, if the holes are properly sealed. btw, if only one speaker sees tearing then also apply glue to the other speaker as well. make sure not to stress test the tears with loud music until you believe the glue to be fully cured.
Great review - I looked up reviews as presented with choice at Amazon, but personally I found the Anker 2 came across much better than the Anker 1 and its now only a couple of pounds difference (some 5 years hence lol). For £25 it sounds great
I prefer the 1st Gen as well. I think it THUMPS better, and yes, does mix better. Whenever I play something for my family, they always say, "That's kinda loud." to which I reply, "IKR!!! $26!!!" 🤟🤘
Alright, me again. Now that I bought the speaker, I can confidently say that buying the generation 2 speaker is better because not only do you get water resistance and faster charging, but you also have much clearer sound. There is one downside to this. The bass isn't as strong on the first generation since I've tested both and if you want the best of both worlds, buy the generation 2 but install a bass booster app. Yes, it's that simple. This way you can have something that can beat the Charge 4 for the price. Ofcourse the Charge 4 has considerately better bass but the loudness is practically indistinguible and you get a longer charge on the Anker. Keeping these facts in mind, I can confidently say that the Charge, if it was for the same price is about 1.5x better. But that's not how the real world works so the Charge is a full 3x more expensive (6x more expensive in my country) for basically the same speaker. So if you can't decide, don't go for the Clip 3, don't go for the Flip 4, don't go for the Charge 4, don't go for the soundcore 1, run to your local store right now, and buy the Soundcore 2. This speaker is literally heavenly for the price. TL;DR buy the Soundcore 2 (edit) Sorry for any spelling mistakes I made ;D
@@kennedymukuna7998 Bass booster pro on google play. It costs a little but it makes every song so good. It also starts up with your phone and will work with youtube.
I haven’t charged my Soundcore 1 for half a year and I listen to music if I am in the shower. It is just insane I think it might actually charge it self.
Never seen you before looking into these speakers. Appreciate the review very much it was very helpful as a base line in making my decision. You received a like and appreciative subscriber from here.
Yo, I can't speak for anyone else but if anybody's thinking about buying this, absolutely do it. This is one of the best products for its price that I have bought, and I have dropped it in a bucket of water, and also it is falling out of my tool belt down a ladder two flights hit the ground bent, and still works. Still holds its charge. I've had the thing for almost 2 years now. For its price, that is amazing. And it still sounds good and all that. I'm sorry if I drop an Apple product and water it's done. If you drop an Apple product down a ladder forget about it. This thing is hardcore.
For the Soundcore 2- Can two phones be paired without having to "forget on device" on either, for toggled user use? I understand only one can play at a time...
You can pair 2 speakers for real stereo. The 2 is usually 20 to 30 usd making them equal in price. The 2 has been upgraded and it is a true upgrade. So get the 2. Still the best in its price range and equal to most in the one above it.
Good review, I just bought the Soundcore 1 but haven’t listen to it yet, I was concerned maybe I should’ve bought the 2. I listen to mostly classical music so the difference in base may not be significant.
no difference plus your sound is lower then average 24 inch tv volume. You have likely less bass too its there just not gonna be thumping and kicking hard, its like soft. Sound cquality is nothing, I'm glad I move to a better speaker I had anker 2, also the button quality are harder to press
I lost my charger for Baker soundcore 1 about 3-2 years ago I played on it everyday I finally found the charger but the battery wasn’t even close to dying it was 3/4 battery full so I charge this for 20 minutes and it full 😃
I turned the bass all the way on my skull crusher 2s and found out theres almost no bass on speaker 2 (the older model) and speaker 1 had a lot of bass (the newer model ) this makes me think the sound core 2 is more worth the price cuz i love bass
Ayy lol - I got my SoundCore 2 for 26€ on Aliexpress during the 11.11 sale of 2020. (Bought it cause my classmate had one, it seemed good when I had used it and I like cheap (but still good) Asian brands (e.g. Xiaomi (have a phone and the band)) The SoundCore 1 seemed inferior (considering that it is older and not waterproof) and the price difference was only about 2€ or some listings even sold it for a higher price than the 2. I guessed the speaker test correctly from your video just cause I know the 2 should be more bass heavy. And, yes, it might distort more on high volumes. Haven't owned or seen the SoundCore 1, but my experience with Anker in now really positive. (Except that I couldn't connect mine and my mate's core 2's using the True Wireless Setup cause his is the older version)
I bought a refurbished Soundcore 1 for $19.99 on eBay. Unfortunately, it would not pair with my Soundcore 2. From my experience, the Soundcore 1 sounded slightly muffled compared to the Soundcore 2 . I quickly exchanged it for a refurbished Sundcore 2, $24.99. Was the extra 5 bucks worth it ? Heck yeah, better sound and ability to pair with another Soundcore 2 in strereo mode.
Does the soundcore 2 still come with an aux in? They seem to be upgrading their speakers and getting rid of it and replacing it with TWS. I want to use it with my PC so if the lag is annoying, I'll be using the aux in. I have a JBL Flip 6 and the lag is too much so I don't use it. I love Anker products
Any suggestions for a louder Bluetooth speaker? I got the soundcore 2 now replacing my worn out soundcore 1 I use for my car radio, and while it does sound nicer I’m not sure the volume is any different
5K (INR) for this speaker is a waste of money. Why? Because after almost 11 months of use (bought this on 02/10/2019), after watching the "unbox therapy video on Anker Soundcore 2 " review online. However, I still went ahead and purchased this. This product's cost is way too high compared to other similar products offered by different brands. Now, within 11 months only, the speaker is producing distorted sounds. I complained to Anker regarding the same since it's still in warranty, but they would not return or repair the product saying - "If the issue persists, we regret that we are not able to help you walk into our 18-months warranty process. Because I've noticed that you purchased this order from ATM RETAIL, and they are responsible for the warranty. We don't process the warranty from purchases made through our resellers because we don't have their order details in our system." Really? I am disappointed and did not expect this was coming from a company like ANKER. My bad. I should never go for this product, and neither should anyone else. It's better to choose a good brand with better customer values (Philips, Sony, Bose, JBL, etc.). @unboxtherapy - I am really disappointed and should have never trusted you guys.
I have heard they have some delay in the playback, is that so? somebody can tell me if this is true for both or for none? anyone tried or compared with the soundcore 3? thanks for the review
Anker Seems to have a lot of problems with their speakers actually working. Just youtube anker not turning on. Mine is almost six months and does not work. No refund or way to fix bc it was a gift from a friend that i no longer speak with.
I had a friend that had the anker soundcore 2 and when I heard it that’s the day i wanted one and it was loud asf but imma get the original im just doing some details from the speaker
They were both about even...any other features? Same watts? I think the similar Doss speaker sounded better and has the touch circle volume control....
Thanks a bunch for the great review. I've heard but don't own the Soundcore 1, and have been impressed with it . I assumed the Soundcore 2 would be better but from your review and especially the music sampling of both, I'm sold on the Soundcore 1. I'm about to put in an order now. Thanks again. :)
Josip Balić exactly, the loudest the soundcore 2 “might” be getting is a dB higher then the previous version but the difference is negligible. And with him saying the SC2 breaks up at higher volumes, that typically means it’s THD % is probably higher or it’s probably clipping and he doesn’t even know it? Which is pretty shitty IMO.
hello buddy... I have the same speaker!, the anker 1!!..cool!.... I have a question.. do you know what BL Codec supports?, I m thinking to apply even more quality sound to it from my cell if i make some config changes... thank you!

If you had used music with a wider spectrum it would be easer to compare something like Jazz / Classical / folk music. Just a thought.
Good thinking!

That’s the stuff I’d like to know if it’s able to play.
completely agree, it is often the case with these videos, compressed electronic music with no dynamics whatsoever
In other words:
Soundcore 1: Less Bass - Slightly longer battery life.

Would you say it plays instrumental music better than the soundcore 2?
If you start hearing a cracking sound with the speaker chances are the speaker has developed a few tear's along is flexible foam diaphragm. You need to use a butter knife to remove the frontal metal mesh front. no worries its not screwed in , its glued in, and you wont damage it if you take your time. But it does take some effort to pry off. then all you have to do is press down on the speakers to find the tear's. then simply apply some glue to those areas. I suggest glues that dont get rock hard, but rather those like gorilla glue, wood glue, or 3m spray adhesive. Those glues cure with elasticity properties. so they will work best with the vibration of a speaker. apply it with a brush and make sure the glue covers the splits, wait for it to dry then put the mesh cover back on. the speaker should no longer make noises, if the holes are properly sealed. btw, if only one speaker sees tearing then also apply glue to the other speaker as well. make sure not to stress test the tears with loud music until you believe the glue to be fully cured.

I want to use it with my PC so if the lag is annoying, I'll be using the aux in. I have a JBL Flip 6 and the lag is too much so I don't use it. I love Anker products
Definitely an honest, detailed review. Big shout-out from Taiwan.
Just got Soundcode 2 at 30, was discounted I don't play that many hours so 5-10 hrs is cool wonder compared to 150 euro speakers
Any suggestions for a louder Bluetooth speaker? I got the soundcore 2 now replacing my worn out soundcore 1 I use for my car radio, and while it does sound nicer I’m not sure the volume is any different
5K (INR) for this speaker is a waste of money. Why? Because after almost 11 months of use (bought this on 02/10/2019), after watching the "unbox therapy video on Anker Soundcore 2 " review online. However, I still went ahead and purchased this. This product's cost is way too high compared to other similar products offered by different brands.
Now, within 11 months only, the speaker is producing distorted sounds. I complained to Anker regarding the same since it's still in warranty, but they would not return or repair the product saying -
"If the issue persists, we regret that we are not able to help you walk into our 18-months warranty process. Because I've noticed that you purchased this order from ATM RETAIL, and they are responsible for the warranty. We don't process the warranty from purchases made through our resellers because we don't have their order details in our system."
Really? I am disappointed and did not expect this was coming from a company like ANKER. My bad. I should never go for this product, and neither should anyone else. It's better to choose a good brand with better customer values (Philips, Sony, Bose, JBL, etc.). @unboxtherapy - I am really disappointed and should have never trusted you guys.
I have heard they have some delay in the playback, is that so? somebody can tell me if this is true for both or for none? anyone tried or compared with the soundcore 3? thanks for the review
Watching these on my soundcore 1 😇😇
Oof
best comparison, I bought this last year soundcore 2... awesome product... love from INDIA....
Greetings from UK
Whether it's quality speakers or chargers with great safety features,you can't beat Anker for good value.
Are these speaker better than jbl go 4 or sony xb100 pllz
Anker Seems to have a lot of problems with their speakers actually working. Just youtube anker not turning on. Mine is almost six months and does not work. No refund or way to fix bc it was a gift from a friend that i no longer speak with.
Ah that sucks man :( I've never had any problems with mine, which speaker was it?
sorry anout your having problem. mine is still working
Can you use an aux cable to play both at the same time.
No you have to use a stereo spliter on the Soundcore 1
Soundcore 2 has true wireless stereo
Great review thank you
I had a friend that had the anker soundcore 2 and when I heard it that’s the day i wanted one and it was loud asf but imma get the original im just doing some details from the speaker
Speaker 1 great bass
Great review, thanks man.
They were both about even...any other features? Same watts? I think the similar Doss speaker sounded better and has the touch circle volume control....
I have both and the SoundCore (Model A3102) has a built in microphone, the SoundCore2 doesn't.
Can it be connected to PC for watching movies or my iPad for youtube etc..
Okay, so speaker 1 is the soundcore 2 and speaker 2 is the soundcore 1. What a twist!
Soundcore 1 sounds so much better!
Sound core one is best.
Thanks a bunch for the great review. I've heard but don't own the Soundcore 1, and have been impressed with it . I assumed the Soundcore 2 would be better but from your review and especially the music sampling of both, I'm sold on the Soundcore 1. I'm about to put in an order now. Thanks again. :)
Did you buy the soundcore 1 im planning on getting this also
GREAT Review! THANKS!
I almost like no.1 more
Edit: the second I commented this u said that its switched up so I like 2 better but 1 is cool too
But, isn't there a power difference? 6W Soundcore 1 vs the 12W of Soundcore 2
There is no difference. Double watts does not mean double power
Josip Balić exactly, the loudest the soundcore 2 “might” be getting is a dB higher then the previous version but the difference is negligible. And with him saying the SC2 breaks up at higher volumes, that typically means it’s THD % is probably higher or it’s probably clipping and he doesn’t even know it? Which is pretty shitty IMO.
Can you connect and play 2 speakers at the same time? For model a3102.
you helped me decide.ty
What is the difference between the soundcore 1 and the Anker A3102? is the soundcore 1 compatible with the soundcore app?
Just got soundcore 2 for 28€... I think it's the best deal ever!
From where?
@@pauliusbaranauskas4494 flash deal from italy amazon.
Nice review. Btw i like your voice too.
Thanks bro! Had someone on another video say they hate my voice... then saw this lol 🔥😎😂
Would it be better to just get two of the 1st model and link them for a better sound and for the same price of one 2nd model???
Hello i want to ask if this anker soundcore 2 have hiss sound when no music playing while this speaker turn on?
It's doesn't at all.
Sounds about the same as i am listening to both through the same phone 😂
Suenan excelente ambas ....yo las quiero😫
👍for soundcore1
hello buddy... I have the same speaker!, the anker 1!!..cool!.... I have a question.. do you know what BL Codec supports?, I m thinking to apply even more quality sound to it from my cell if i make some config changes... thank you!
which one is better for the rock and metal music... dont want unncessary bass
Hi! Do you know if I can link somehow these two speakers? Either with a cable or Bluetooth. Thanks!
