Soundcore 3 by Anker | Best Portable Bluetooth Speaker
/Best Portable Mid-Priced Bluetooth Speaker | Anker Soundcore 3
I was looking for a Bluetooth soundbar that is small enough to sit on my small desk, durable, and good looking. After looking at a bunch of them, Soundcore 3 by Anker seemed to fit my criteria.
Priced at somewhere between $75 to $90 at online retailers, Soundcore 3 is not cheap or too expensive. So, I grabbed one.
I was surprised to see the quality and how good looking this tiny speaker is. When I turned it on, I was even more surprised at its sound quality.
There is also a Soundcore app to customize bass, treble, and midrange to enhance your listening experience. If you don't want to bother with that, you can choose Soundcore's own presets, such as Soundcore signature, Voice, Treble Boost, and Balanced.
Its IPX7 rating means it is completely waterproof and can even be submerged in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The X in the rating means it hasn't been tested for solid objects, but I saw videos online where the Soundcore 3 took mud and sand abuse and still functioned properly.
I mainly use my Soundcore 3 to listen to podcasts, online radio, and streaming music services. It definitely makes a difference having the sound come from a good speaker, rather than a phone.
Its battery life seems to be a lot better than I expected and I only charge it once every 2 weeks with 2-3 hours of use daily.
