Boom 2 Plus Portable Speaker By Anker, 140W, 2+2 Channel, BassUp 2.0, 20H Playtime, Fast Charge, IPX7 Waterproof, RGB Lights, Power Bank, Bluetooth 5.3, Outdoor Speakers, Camping, Beach

I recently got the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus and it completely exceeded my expectations! The sound is crystal clear with deep bass that you can actually feel, even in open outdoor spaces. It's powerful enough to fill a backyard or park with music, and the sound stays sharp even at full volume. The build quality is excellent — it feels solid and rugged, perfect for camping trips, beach days, or pool parties. The waterproof feature is a game-changer. I don’t have to worry about splashes or unexpected rain. Battery life is another win. It lasts all day long without needing a charge, and the fast charging is super convenient. I also love the customizable EQ through the Soundcore app – you can tweak the sound to match any vibe or genre. If you're looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker that delivers serious volume, punchy bass, and all-day performance, the Boom 2 Plus is definitely worth it. Highly recommended!

First let's start with my gripes. The fact i can't turn it on through the app or through Bluetooth is super inconvenient. My other small speaker from Bose can do that, why can't this!? Now let's get to everything great about it. It's loud, it's bass is superior to that of the equivalent Sony boombox. The highs mids lows, all great clear quality at any level even at max. I love the lights. The equalizer in the app is easy to use and very customizable for any music taste. I have to turn off bass up while at home because it definitely will annoy the neighbors, that's not a bad thing at all. I've used it in the car, it is better than the car stereo system. The price is way more affordable than the competition and I appreciate that a lot; I wasn't going to spend $700 plus on a portable boombox. The build quality is solid and the fact it floats and is waterproof, that's a huge plus. I definitely recommend this over other brands, big bang for the buck here. Battery life is perfect, I don't use it for more than an hour at a time, one charge lasts a month for me. It doesn't work well with my pc unfortunately, it has audio delay but I think that's the pc not the speaker. It's very portable and the strap is nice to have, I just wish it had some padding.

I love soundcore products. It's loud heavy bass stays charged and lights work great. This thing is a beast! It is so sturdy I'd say you could drop it from chest high and other than scratch it nothing else would be wrong. I DNT use the app. I use Dolby atmos for eq.

This thing is pretty loud and bassy - I can't imagine needing more but, if you did - you can get up to literally 100 of these things and link them together - adding so much scalability! The price is also right - it's literally half the competition (JBL) price-wise.

So quickly going over the differences The weight. The soundcore isn't light, but the tribit is noticeably heavier Appearance. I personally like the soundcore. For both I don't like the lights. I'm sure they drain battery and I just don't care for them. Sound. To me, out of the box, the soundcore just sounds downright bad. I immediately wanted to return it upon hearing it. That's actually why I bought the tribit, yeah it sounds that bad. The tribit took a few days to arrive and during that time I played with the soundcore. I found some random guys eq and it made things definitely better. The soundcore is a lot newer and I didn't find many eq online.... Or maybe I just don't know where to find them. I'm posting mine that I'm slowly tweaking, but sounds a million times better than what it comes with. I have no idea why soundcore launched what that preset. As for the tribit it sounds much better right out of the box with stock preset. So if you hear comparison videos online like I did, the tribit is just going to sound better, hands down, but doesn't have a ton of room to get better (from my experience) From here I'm comparing using my posted eq for soundcore b2+ and Alan Ross eq for tribit. Keep in mind I'm no audiophile nor do I know the terminology that well. The sound is pretty similar. What jumps or to me is that in things like rock music, the soundcore has like this noise. I'm not sure if muddy is the word, but it sounds like some sounds can just run together, doesn't sound super clean. It doesn't sound awful, just switching back and forth with the tribit, it's noticable. The tribit on the other hand just doesn't have that... It's like it's just not there, it's cleaner. But when listening to volume around 60%+ I can hear the tribit distorting, which doesn't happen on the soundcore. On louder volumes, that muddy or whatever sound on the soundcore kinda makes it feel full, kinda like a concert or something. When the tribit is turned all the way up, I mean it doesn't sound bad, but it sounds a little more empty. It's hard to explain, but that's all I can do. I don't know if it is, but it makes the soundcore sound a lot louder. It's more fun to sing along to at high volumes(drowns out my own voice more lol) My suggestion is if this is for outdoor use/you wanna jam out at high volume and sing along to, get the soundcore. If you want cleaner music for lower volumes especially inside, get the tribit. The both pump it crazy amounts of bass. Since I'm using mine virtually 100% outdoor, the soundcore is what I'm keeping

Decent speaker but not perfect. I got mine for $174 on black Friday 2025 and that feels like a fair price. Quality is decent. Speaker feels solid and well built. I've used the strap that it comes with frequently and it has bounced off of various hard surfaces rather hard and it takes the hits like a champ. Not too heavy not too bulky. Relatively easy to take around and use on the go especially with the strap it comes with. Sound quality is decent. There is a really nice equalizer setting on the app and it offers amazing adjustments but I don't have the ear or patience to set that up so I use their "soundcore premium" preset with bass boost and it works for me. Thats where the sound quality dives for me though. You really need the bass boost for the speaker to sound good. Otherwise you'll be staring at it wondering why such a big speaker sounds so weak. On the other hand if you plan on turning it up really loud you have to turn the bass boost off because you'll blow the speakers. That hasn't happened to mine but I did turn up a bass heavy trance song all the way one time and could hear the sub cracking and popping from overuse. Haven't used the bass boost and high volume at the same time since. The sound quality without bass boost does get decent at high volumes though. Just remember to turn off bass boost before turning up. Battery is a disappointment. 20 hour life advertised but I get about 9 to 15 hours. Around 13 hours with volume at 50% or less, lights off and bass boost on and battery life varies heavily depending on how loud I play it. That turnout isn't bad but I work 10 hour shifts and if I don't mind the volume it won't last the 10 hours. Bummer for me since I wanted to just use it and not worry about it but instead I have to mind the volume and I worry if it'll make it to the end of shift some days. Bluetooth connectivity works as expected. No issues with dropping connection and connects right away. Overall I wouldn't pay $1 over $200 for it if I just had to have it. I'm satisfied with it but not impressed. I would have definitely returned it if I paid the $250 retail for it but at the $174 I paid its a decent speaker. It's a good jack of all trades speaker but you gotta take care to not be too hard on the speakers with the bass boost. I've had mine for around 3 months now and it still sounds good and battery is still holding up. Long term reliability is still up in the air though so time will tell on that.

Outstanding speaker. I bought two and paired them...emersion of music. Excellent build quality. Heavy and sturdy paired easy and app is easy to navigate. Gonna be awesome on the river bank

They did it. The first Motion Boom Plus was thier best overall sounding speaker with the most bass, but it couldn't quite match the Tribit Stormbox Blast. I can say now that thanks to its larger size and bigger power output, this speaker is the new favorite in town. It's got deeper, bigger bass and can get a lot louder than the Blast. Highs and mids can both be adjusted to your preference so those are pretty much the same. Slightly fuller sound thanks to bigger woofers with a higher power output. 140w vs 90w peak. It weighs less than the Blast and I think looks a little better too. Never cared for the led lights on the front of the Blast. There are about 8 different lighting options each with the ability to choose a custom color pallette and you can dim or turn them off completely. Compared to Soundcore's other offerings, it is of course the king of litter this size or below. I was a little surprised how much bigger and little heavier it is than the original Boom Plus, so might be something to consider. If you are looking for a more portable speaker the new Boom 2 is an impressive alternative. Nothing else will rumble your surroundings as much as the Boom 2 Plus though. The only speaker that does something better in my opinion would be the X600. Because of the way the speakers are angled it really does an amazing job of giving an open soundstage I haven't found in any other single bluetooth speaker. The price of $250 for this speaker does feel maybe a tad high considering I can get the Stormbox Blast for $200 or less (I got mine for $150 on sale), but it is still less than say the JBl Boombox or Sony Ult Field 7 for roughly the same performance. It also looks and feels quite a bit more premium than first Boom Plus. Overall while the price might be a tad higher than what I'm used to from Soundcore, it's bigger more premium all around speaker than the original with sound quality a bass output that beats the Blast. I highly recommend.
