SoundCore mini Bluetooth Speaker

I've had this for 8 years now. It still works great! Nice loud sound and connects flawlessly with my phone whenever I turn it on. It times out to save battery power when not in use. I love it. It's gone up in price quite a but but what hasn't?

After carefully researching many alternatives and listening to products in local stores, I chose the Anker Soundcore Mini because it not only could handle Bluetooth, microSD, FM and AUX, but it also could access my phone's Google voice commands. I am very satisfied with my choice. Despite it's tiny size, this speaker has amazing sound with a very lifelike clarity when playing music. Vocals sound like the singer is right there. The bass is strong without being boomy. The sound does not distort, even at full volume, and is louder than you would expect for such a small speaker. The Bluetooth easily pairs with my Android smartphone and quickly re-connects each time I turn the Soundcore Mini back on when it is in range. The advertised 66-ft range is twice what most other speakers specify. I have no problem remaining connected throughout the house. Songs can be paused or skipped while playing using the buttons on the Soundcore Mini. If someone calls you, the speaker will ring and you can answer it by tapping the play button and carry on a speakerphone conversation with good clarity on both ends. While in Bluetooth mode, I can long-press the play button to activate Google voice commands on my phone and give a command to call someone, start my music, or answer a question... anything that can be done with the "Okay Google" function. This should work the same with Siri for you iPhone users. This is a feature lacking on most Bluetooth speakers. It was a must-have for me because I use the speaker without my smartphone being immediately nearby. The microSD card function works fine, with good playback quality. I can pause, skip forward or back through the songs or adjust the volume from the speaker. You do not have the ability to choose folders, so it is best to just put the songs you want on a chip at the root level. It appears that the Soundcore Mini plays the songs in the order they were copied to the chip, so if you are listening to an audiobook, make sure to copy the files in the correct order. The FM receiver has good sensitivity as long as you have the charging cable plugged in as an antenna. I get all the expected local stations. Because the small speaker lacks a display, you have no way of telling which station you are listening to without waiting for a station ID or recognizing the music or announcer. There are no presents. However, almost all the other speakers I considered work the same way. I use the AUX input to use my Soundcore Mini as a tiny guitar practice amplifier. If you want expanded MP3 functionality, you could plug the headset out of an MP3 player into the AUX input and take advantage of the MP3 player's display, folders and playlists. To protect my Soundcore Mini, I bought the padded carry case sold on Amazon by EasyAcc. It is a perfect fit, but it blocks all the buttons and ports on the speaker. You have to turn the speaker on and make your selections first, then put it onto the carry case. Because it is a soft case, you can press the large play button with the speaker in the case, so you at least do have some functionality. The top of the carry case has a grille, so the sound is not affected. In summary, I am thoroughly satisfied with my Anker Soundcore Mini speaker. The customer support and user forum on the Anker website, along with their 18-month warranty, adds confidence that I will have a good ownership experience.

This is a VERY well made small full range speaker...not sure what Voodoo they imparted into it but it sounds Really Nice. Although you can't really tell by it's appearance due to it's paint job, the external housing is an aluminum shell with an aluminum grill covering the top of the speaker. The build quality is awesome & it feels like a premium device. Not very heavy or bulky but putting it in a pocket it WILL make a big bulge. It doesn't come with a carabiner, there isn't a place to put a carabiner (no hoop or loop to put one.) It is also NOT weatherized, meaning do NOT get it wet. That would be bad. The bottom is plastic. The bottom underside of the device has a rubber "foot" ring so it doesn't slip on or off of surfaces but it can & will dance around a lil bit if you crank it up playing really bass heavy music. The over-all sound is VERY BALANCED, RICH & FULL sounding as if it has 2 speakers instead of one...I tried using an EQ & I really can't "enhance" the over-all tone of the speaker much better than it already is. I have added more treble for personal preferences but it's not needed as they shine without a need for an EQ. Mids are solid, straight forward, punchy & clear. I added 500m,1K,2K & 4K to try & get it "louder" but it just didn't sound "better"...it honestly sounds fine the way it is PLUS it's got PLENTY of bass as well so adding any more only makes it distort, that said I have the bass on the EQ turned down which really doesn't do much to the over all tone. With Most bluetooth speakers I've had/have of this size; I've needed to use an EQ to tweak the sound/tone to get it to sound better/louder/more balanced etc... but this speaker just doesn't seem to need that kind of attention. With the several bluetooth speakers I own in this size & price range I compared it with my Sony SRS-X11 & my TDK 08 TREK Mini to which sound the most like it. All 3 sound quite nice for their size only having a single speaker/driver. The Sony costs considerably more. I also wanna say (at least to me) it doesn't' sound as good but it all depends on the genre of music which I can attest too can make a big difference on how these small speakers sound. (EX: rock might sound great but a techno or dance track which have more bass will sound terrible.) With this speaker I have played several genre & it preforms really well with all so far...I would like it to be a lil bit louder but I can't expect to much more from it considering how small it is. The FM radio feature doesn't pick up stations very well IF at all, even IF I have the cord plugged in. Not that it matters to me as I do not listen to the radio much anymore anyways. so no big deal to me but that might be a big deal to someone else. The SD card reader sounds fantastic. The battery life is AWESOME! I turned it on & used it on my way to work, at work & on the way home after a 10hr work day & it was used THE WHOLE TIME...the 15hr battery life claim seems on point...at least so far... Pairing is simple, easy & straight forward. works with all my bluetooth devices. At least so far. It also reconnects to the last device pair immediately when turned on & bluetooth is turned on, on the device. The ONLY 2 "issues" I have with this device are subjective: it doesn't have an option/place to hook a carabiner to it it isn't weather (water resistant) With those two things aside & you don't care about clipping/hanging it off something &/or you're not worried about it getting close to pool side, not taking it to a beach/lake/river etc...or bring it being out in the elements...THIS SPEAKER IS WORTH EVERY PENNY OF IT'S PRICE if not a bit more...

It is with great pleasure that I express my profound satisfaction with the Anker SoundCore mini product, which I must say, is a true marvel that exceeded all my expectations in terms of quality, functionality, and value for money. This device is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best products I have ever had the pleasure of using, particularly when taking into account its incredibly affordable price point. The SoundCore mini's exceptional performance is nothing short of remarkable, as it delivers sound that is both crisp and clear, while also being deeply immersive, creating an experience that is truly unforgettable. The sound quality is well-balanced across all frequencies, making it an incredibly versatile device that can handle everything from the deepest bass to the highest treble. Furthermore, the compact and portable design of the product is an added bonus, making it incredibly easy to carry around with me wherever I go, without ever having to worry about sacrificing sound quality. It truly is the perfect companion for anyone on the go who needs to be able to enjoy their music no matter where they are. The durability and sturdiness of the SoundCore mini are also particularly noteworthy, as it has proven to be incredibly resilient, withstanding the wear and tear of daily use with ease. This has made it an incredibly reliable companion for my music needs, giving me the peace of mind that comes with knowing that it will always be there for me when I need it. Overall, I cannot recommend the Anker SoundCore mini highly enough, as it is a top-tier product that is worth every single penny. If you are in the market for a new portable speaker, then look no further than the SoundCore mini, as it is simply the best of the best.

It’s a good working Bluetooth speaker!

Achetée pour un week-end en amoureux, et franchement elle a fait parfaitement le taf. Le son est propre et étonnamment bon pour une enceinte aussi petite. Les basses sont correctes, ce qui m’a vraiment surpris vu la taille. Il ne faut pas trop pousser le volume sinon ça commence à saturer un peu, mais pour une ambiance musicale tranquille, c’est nickel. Très bon rapport qualité/prix, simple à utiliser, compacte et facile à transporter. L’ambiance du week-end a été réussie en grande partie grâce à elle. Rien à dire, très bon petit achat.

Ottimo materiale, resistente ai graffi e si tiene bene in mano con una certa sensazione di robustezza grazie al corpo in metallo (tranne la base che è in plastica). Comodo l'anello in gomma alla base che dona molta stabilità impedendo alla casa di traballare o scivolare per via dei bassi. Leggera, pesa appena 201gr. Tutte le prove sono state effettuate con: portatile, 3 differenti pc desktop, smartphone Lenovo android 6, iphone 5 Apple. Il manuale è anche in italiano, ringrazio sentitamente per questa attenzione che altri produttori non hanno. Ovviamente da il meglio di sé con fonti di buona qualità come cd, dvd e affini ma anche con molti dei video di youtube si è comportata al di sopra delle aspettative. I bassi si sentono anche se sono poco avvolgenti. Da notare che la potenza del suono è nettamente superiore se vedete i video youtube dal pc e non da smatphone sia se il collegamento è effettuato con bluetooth che via AUX. Presa prevalentemente per uso casalingo, si è dimostrata utilissima anche in differenti occasioni grazie alle dimensioni molto contenute, alla semplicità dei collegamenti (Bluetooth e AUX) e alla potenza audio che non distorce il suono anche al massimo e che mi ha permesso di usarla in ambienti di 30 mq affollati per lezioni sia con adulti che adolescenti (e posso assicurarvi che la differenza c'é!!!). La radio funziona bene anche in casa (ovviamente ci deve essere un buon segnale altrimenti vi attaccate). Molto gradita la possibilità di sfruttare una microSD dove caricare la propria musica. In ambito casalingo la sfrutto anche come vivavoce per le chiamate anche se non è la funzione in cui da il meglio di sé: nel mio caso mi sentono bene fino a 2 mt di distanza mentre giro per la stanza (e sbrigo altre faccende) poi la qualità degrada con la distanza (mi sentivano lontano, ma mi sentivano, a 5 mt); il problema è che la qualità (non il volume) audio della cassa in questo caso risulta nettamente inferiore sia a quella della capsula che del vivavoce del mio cellulare, in pratica la voce di chi vi parla risulta un po' impastata. La batteria dura veramente tanto! Difetti (veniali): 1) potevano fare una piccola parte del corpo laterale piatta per consentire di appoggiarla anche sul dorso in modo da orientare il suono verso le persone che ascoltano e migliorarne la percezione (di fatto lo "spara" verso l'alto e con tracce piene di bassi puo dare la sensazione di "inscatolamento"); 2) purtroppo la cassa è preimpostata in modo da spegnersi completamente dopo 15 minuti di inattività totale costringendoti a spegnerla e riaccenderla fisicamente; non dico di mettere un selettore manuale per modificare tale impostazione o per disattivarla, ma almeno fatela prima andare in standby e magari solo dopo altri 15 minuti la fate spegnere! 3) tre piccoli LED per indicare lo stato di carica sarebbero stati più comodi del semplice lampeggiare dell'unico LED; 4) il LED (bicolore Blu/Bianco) si vede bene ma è piccolo inoltre se lo posizionavano superiormente anche dentro la griglia era meglio; 5) il selettore on/off a causa della poca sporgenza dovete spingerlo con l'unghia altrimenti risulta troppo duro; 6) un sacchettino in tessuto per il trasporto come per la versione a parallelepipedo sarebbe stato gradito ma forse è chiedere troppo... In sintesi: la consiglio se non siete degli audiofili incalliti (e comprendete che un oggetto simile NON E' un sistema HIFI) ma vi serve qualcosa di estremamente portatile, con una buona resa sonora (in rapporto ai limiti tecnici) per ascoltare film, musica, radio sia a casa che fuori (specie se il sistema audio sul posto di lavoro fa schifo o non funziona...). In tal caso, per meno di 20€, non resterete delusi. Aneddoto: la piccola ha fatto conquiste tanto che dopo che l'ho fatta sentire ai miei colleghi, l'ho dovuta prestare già 5 volte e mi è stato chiesto di ordinarne 2...
