Anker Soundcore Rave Portable Speaker with 107dB Sound, Light Show, 24 Hour Playtime, PowerIQ, BassUp Technology, Water Resistant, Speaker with Microphone Input for Karaoke, BBQ, Outdoor

I bought 1 of these to test it out. It is louder then most of the competition. It was the second best speaker on the market at it's time, but there was a very important feature I needed that the number one speaker didn't have. I needed to throw a party in my backyard/pool area so I needed sound to travel and be heard. Most speakers lose here because the sound can't really be placed in such a wide space. I heard this speaker and bought 3 more because they have red/white RCA in/outs. So I had 4 speakers and I bought 4, 100ft RCA cables. You can connect these wired to each other as many as you want. This speaker blew everyone away at the party. It was loud, has great bass and it's crystal clear in every corner. If there's echoing when connecting multiple with RCA make sure you turn off any audio processing such as the bass booster they have and there will be no echo. One was on the deck separate from the pool, two in the pool swimming area, and one facing the grass play area. 2.75 acres didn't have a chance. The lights stay synced and to the beat and when it turns to night they provide a light show. They run on battery too. I attach a mic to them play some karaoke. I'm not a professional DJ. I do have many big BBQ's though and my 3 kids are summer babies. I bought a cheap projector with screen and watch TV/movies using two of these speakers using an audio aux jack from projector to RCA connection at night. You can also use this audio jack to RCA for the puny Alexa speakers too or connect them via Bluetooth as well. It's the talk of the town with the parties I can throw outside up until 9pm of course. These speakers outperform the competition by a mile. The #1 speaker could only pair 2 speakers max and don't have the RCA connections in the back so no thanks. With the RCA/USB connections in the back you can connect them to anything. They support bluetooth 5.0 I've had them at a distance of 300-400ft on the other side of the house before any drop offs. They have rubber feet on both sides for horizontal and vertical orientation. I have used the app they have had multiple firmware updates. They're solid and have taken some beatings. Battery life has been great at up to 8hrs of heavy use charging a phone and playing music from it via 6ft USB cable in the sun; you can plug the speakers in and play them easy. My kids use one speaker while they play basketball it's plenty loud. I'm very happy with my purchase. I take one speaker to other people's parties like their July 4rth BBQ's playing patriotic songs and it does the job. I also take one speaker around my neighborhood during Halloween playing scary songs for all the people trick or treating in the neighborhood. The kids don't get lost they use the loud music being played as a meeting point keeping tabs not to go too far. It's great. Good products deserve recognition I don't usually do many reviews. Sorry for the long read but hope it helps.

I know a lot about and own several Bluetooth speakers. I own a mint 2005 Cadillac DeVille with factory Bose pre Bluetooth sound. For the car I purchased a portable 10" tablet for phone, GPS, movies, etc., etc., (you're not supposed to watch movies in the front of a car in the continental United States.) I wanted to mammothly upgrade the db level and fidelity of the sound coming from the my tablet and my phones microscopic speakers. There are no line level inputs on the Bose head. To replace the Bose head with a new Bluetooth capable head with comparable output power and fidelity would have cost much more than the $200 I paid for the Anker Rave. Now don't think that I am deluding myself into trying to say that The Anker Rave sounds the same as a factory installed Premium Bose CD system, It Can't. (The inherent limitations of current available Bluetooth technology make that assumption ridiculous.) However, my Rave performs as well as some competitors "party speakers" that cost literally 2 to 3 times what I paid for this one. The only drawback I can imagine is that you don't want to leave this monster visible in the backseat of any car unattended. I love this product. When I 'm not using it in the car or in my bedroom, I can use it in my yard for, that's right a "party speaker". Thank You Anker !!!!

Bought this for my hubby as a graduation present. I took the risk buying it for never owning a Soundcore product and now, I'm amazed! The sound quality and battery life is pretty legit just as described in the product description. For the price, I'd say this is a really great purchase. It's not a JBL, but man, the quality is just super awesome. We are both satisfied with this speaker. My hubby loves it and takes it with him where ever he goes.One thing we haven't tested is how far the bluetooth range is without interruption because the laptop or phone sits directly above the speaker.

User friendly app is a plus. The deep and rich bass make it a good buy. Listening to music with lots of bass brings out the best in this speaker as you will feel the thump at 50% volume. The highs (tweeters) are ok. They do not produce the crisp, clean highs desired. Tweeters are definitely lacking compared to the woofers. Overall it is a good buy and I am satisfied with it's performance.

Just got my new Soundcore Rave speaker in today! I fortunately had the pleasure of hearing one of these in person before I made the commitment to buy one. I’ve listened to several different models the last few weeks. I was torn between the Soundcore Rave, and the Blackweb partybox. Ended up being the battery life that was the deciding feature. I really like the idea that a speaker this big with the sound that big could last for 24 hours. I’m looking forward to strapping this thing down on my 4 wheeler and enjoying those summer nights!! Great buy!!!

People who are saying this speaker is not up-to-par are nit picking the smallest issues. This is a VERY solid speaker for the money. Very easy to use, it sounds great, it is VERY loud, and the lights are a great touch. I was weary about purchasing this product due to some of the bad reviews I have read, but I am writing this review to say BUY IT. (I never write reviews but for this product I felt I should)

This is my edited review. The sound rave isn't all that good it's not nearly as loud as expected but I left a review stating that and they not only refunded me once I sent it back they also sent me soundcore motion+ for free. Its pretty good not worth $100 but it was free so I cant complain thank you soundcore I appreciate it

Would have been nice if they would have worked for more than 3 days other than that complete waste of money
