soundcore 3 by Anker, Bluetooth Speaker with Stereo Sound, Pure Titanium Diaphragm Drivers, PartyCast Technology, BassUp, 24H Playtime, IPX7 Waterproof, App, Custom EQ, Home, Outdoor, Beach

Considering the price this is very good quality for the money and for the size it also has an impressive sound output which is more than capable of filling a large room at higher volumes. It's also quite weighty which only adds to the feel of its quality and I like the rubberised build which helps a lot when handling. I was impressed with just how easy it is to connect to bluetooth using my Google Pixel 6a phone as well as another bluetooth phone (Sony Z5) - and once the connection has been set up the unit and phone quickly connects the next time as soon as it recognizes that I have bluetooth turned on my phone. There is also an App which can be downloaded which allows for customisation of the equalizer and this is important because not everybody will want the extra bass boom (which this thing is more than capable of delivering!) that comes as 'factory' settings out of the box. In regards to the sound quality one must remember that these are small speakers in a small cabinet and therefore there is obviously some sort of trickery to make the audio output sound 'loud' and 'bassy' when required. Nevertheless, all in all, I have been happy with the audio tests that I've conducted using several different genres and, as long as one remembers that this is not 'hi-fi' equipment I can honestly say that I think most purchasers of this product will be more than happy with the sound it produces, especially as I think it is designed and marketed for a younger crowd who want 'beats' wherever it my be transported to. Also impressive is the battery life - I've had this playing at work over several days at a low to medium setting with a completely flat EQ setting (still more than bassy and loud enough in my office setting) and it has lasted for over 24 hours without needing a recharge. The App gives a more detailed battery life reading than just the white light on the unit changing to indicate when it needs a recharge. I can recommend this item wholeheartedly and would purchase again if ever I wanted a second one or replacement (but presuming that the build quality is a good indication that this is built to last at least a few years yet!).

I love the Soundcore 3 (S3) speaker. It has fantastic sound reproduction at a really low price. Initially, the speaker is configured to have a blinking light and sound effects when switching on/off or connecting to devices but these can be switched off, if you read the instructions very carefully. I finally decided to buy a dedicated BT speaker to save my portable Guitar amp from being abused for the role. Of all on the market, the Anker really stands out for features and price, plus, my daughter has had a Soundcore 2 (S2) for a few years and so I knew how good they were. In comparison with an S2, the S3 has improved bass and so I can listen to podcasts at lower volume. Phone calls are also excellent quality, with the ability to hold one call whilst answering another too, as with the S2. The app really takes this unit to another level as one can shape the sound or control the configuration, like turning off the sound effects. Through the app, one can activate a bass boost, for use only with the pre-configured soundscapes. However, I have found that, for podcasts, customising the sound with the EQ low levels raised is far more effective for getting a deep timbre. So, I won't be using the 'voice' setting. Physically, the S3 is larger than the S2. As a motorcyclist, who travels extensively and works from location to location, size is a critical logistical factor. I personally love the size of the S2 and think that were I to need the Aux in socket, which is removed on the S3, I would probably have bought it over the S3 for practical reasons. I think the rubber coating is possibly a little more robust too. What has been improved for the S3 are the buttons which require less pressure to activate and travel a shorter distance to those of the S2. These differences make using the speaker far more pleasant but, of course, only noticeable if comparing the S2 to the S3. Effects and turning them off --------------------------------- There are two effects used by the speaker when you first switch it on. A blinking white BT light to the right and sound effects when switching on, off or connecting to devices. I find both effects pointless and distracting so I was very pleased to learn they can be switched off. To do so, however, is not immediately obvious and so I thought I'd include the steps here. 1. Switching off blinking white light. To turn off, or rather switch light to stead blue, press and hold the BT symbol until the light turns blue. Repeat to go back to a white blinking light 2. Turn off all sound effects. You will require the app to turn off the sound effects which are activated when switching on or off the speaker, and when entering the various connection settings. Rather confusingly, the setting is called 'Voice prompt'. Turning 'Voice prompt' off will mute all effects. I think my confusion came when I associated 'Voice prompt' with electronic assistants, like Siri! Still, if you've read this far, you now know it is simply a poorly labelled feature. Summary ----------- The Soundcore 3 is a great BlueTooth speaker with excellent sound reproduction and great bass response for use with podcasts. The buttons and robust rubber exterior are enhanced from that of the previous model. It is also larger and more heavy that its predecessor. Whilst there are lighting and sound effects initially, these can be muted or switched off to minimise distractions. A great addition is the inclusion of a well thought out App to control the sound profile some config settings of the speaker.

I recently bought the Anker Soundcore 3, and I am very happy with it. It works perfectly for listening to classical music, especially through Internet radio. Sound Quality: The sound is clear and detailed, which is great for classical music. You can hear all the instruments clearly, and the bass is balanced so it doesn’t overpower the other sounds. Even at high volume, the sound stays clean and does not distort. Design and Build: The speaker is small, light, and easy to carry. It looks modern and simple, which I like. It is also waterproof (IPX7), so I can use it in the kitchen or near water without worrying about spills. Battery Life: The battery lasts a long time, up to 24 hours. I can use it all day without needing to charge it. This makes it perfect for long listening sessions or for taking on trips. Connectivity: The Bluetooth connection is easy to set up and stays stable. I listen to Internet radio on my phone, and the sound plays perfectly through the speaker. It also works well in different rooms as long as I stay within range. Things to Know: The speaker does not have a microphone, so you cannot use it for phone calls. It does not have Wi-Fi or smart features, but for Bluetooth use, it is excellent. Conclusion: The Soundcore 3 is a great speaker for listening to classical music. It is easy to use, sounds great, and lasts all day. If you want a simple, high-quality Bluetooth speaker, this is a very good choice. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) I recommend this speaker to anyone who enjoys clear, balanced sound for music. It’s great for classical music fans!

A little bass heavy that causes distortion slightly, but a powerful little speaker. Good for outdoors. Fairly lightweight but solidly built. Easy to travel with. Simple looks but high quality.

A fantastic speaker at an amazing price. My Bose Soundlink Mini 2 is on the blink so I had to either get the battery changed and/or something else repaired or replace it and, thank goodness, I decided to buy the Anker Soundcore 3. I cannot speak too highly of it. The sound is excellent and chose the grey/beige model which it fits well with everything. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Don't hesitate, buy it.

Simple to set up and a really good quality rich sound that fills the room,, battery lasts long, worth every penny, if if your sitting on the fence should you buy it YES you won't be disappointed. God bless Clive

I got this speaker because I'm a bit of an Anker loyalist, and because of my good experience with my previous Soundcore speaker (1st gen). The Soundcore 3 takes everything good about its predecessor and improves upon it. Primarily in terms of volume, clarity and bass output. While no one is going to mistake this for pedestal-mounted 15" drivers, for its size, it definitely puts out clear, distortion-free mids and highs and surprisingly punchy bass. It's compact enough to fit in a backpack. And with the rubberised casing and metal grill, it's very durable and can easily survive a quick dunk in a pool or in the rain without lasting ill effects. The Soundcore app makes assigning custom or preset equaliser as easy as can be expected. Being able to power off the speaker from the phone app is a nice touch. Oh! and you can have two Soundcores pumping out the same music by linking up a parent and child device to a single bluetooth source to fill a large room with sound. Nice feature that. There's a reason I tend to favour Anker products.

I didn't know what to expect in terms of volume and bass management but for what it is i would totally recommend it. During this summer it has become my go to musical device. It is very versatile device and very easy to connect to your mobile phone/ laptop/PC and away you go. The range of the device is ok but not brilliant, However i haven't really had an opportunity to test this in an outdoor space and indoor spaces can be affected by other devices. It is built really well and has a sleek modern appearance, has excellent volume and bass, also the battery life is very good and the power lasts for a long time

Too good. Sound is decent and enough for daily listening

Excelente opción, muy buena bocina, muy buena calidad de sonido

Presa più per curiosità che per necessità, vista l'interessante offerta in occasione del Black Friday, non posso che dirmi soddisfatto. Sono già felice possessore del modello precedente, la SoundCore2, da ormai 6 o 7 anni che dà ancora ottima mostra di sé. Questa evoluzione del modello, ha dimensioni leggermente superiori e pesa circa 100g in più (anche se la sensazione è che sia più leggera). Esteticamente più curata, molto belli i diffusori in titanio che si intravvedono attraverso la griglia metallica. Più essenziale, non ha sportellini in gomma da aprire, nonostante (se non sbaglio) una impermeabilità maggiore. La presa, a differenza della mia "vecchietta" è diventata usb C ed è stato eliminato il jack da 3.5, ma questa è ormai la prassi. Sicuramente comoda la possibilità di montare un robusto cordino per il trasporto (presente nella confezione). Venendo all'utilizzo: l'accoppiamento e la connessione bluetooth sono istantanei, come per tutti i prodotti Anker da me provati. La vera differenza però la si sperimenta una volta accesa. La SoundCore3 ha la possibilità di essere controllata con l'apposita app di Anker e con questa utilizzare un ottimo equalizzatore che ha 4 impostazioni di fabbrica, ma soprattutto la possibilità di impostare numerose regolazioni custom (ho provato a memorizzarne 7 e non sembrerebbe esserci un limite) rinominandole a piacere. La gamma dei suoni ottenibili è molto ampia, da bassi profondissimi ad alti chiari e squillanti, passando per frequenze medie veramente molto efficaci; anche ascoltando generi di musica molto diversi, questa cassa, utilizzando l'equalizzatore nel modo corretto, è in grado di regalare un'ottima esperienza di ascolto. Utilizzandola come vivavoce per il telefono, la chiamata è chiara e pulita in entrambe le direzioni. Concludendo, mi sento assolutamente di consigliarla. Un bel passo avanti rispetto al pur ottimo modello precedente. Mi sentirei di dire, ottima in assoluto, ma con rapporto qualità/prezzo imbattibile quando proposta al prezzo Black Friday (€34).

Produto chegou bem embalado e lacrado, sendo exatamente o esperado, Quem for comprar deve ter paciência, pois demora cerca de 1 mês para entrega, mas vale a pena, o produto é bom, tendo boa qualidade sonora e durabilidade da bateria de cerca de 12hrs com o volume quase no nível máximo.

I wanted a Bluetooth speaker I could connect to to play ambient music in our house. I was originally looking for something that can be left plugged in so I don't have to constantly check for battery levels but I can't find anything that fits my requirements that's within my budget. I saw this Soundcore speaker and I thought maybe I could just leave it plugged in and bought it. It arrived fast, packaging was standard, it came with the speaker, manuals, usbc cable, and a strap. Sound: is really good and it's better than what I was expecting. Connection: is easy. originally thought I got a defective product because for some reason the music(i was connected to my phone playing on youtube some cafe music) I was playing would stop. this is always a scary experience for me because I hate receiving defective products then I would have to return it. Anyhow after observing why it kept stopping, I realized I was connected to multiple devices! I was connected to my laptop and to my phone. When I was playing youtube music, it would stop because I was doing something on my computer. I just realized it when my alarm on my computer set off while I was eating and as far as I know that time, the speaker was connected to my phone playing something. it stopped and my alarm rang. I think it's a nice feature if you're not actively using your connected devices at the same time. I just need to learn how to use it properly. Volume: loud enough for our 1ksqft house. Water Resistance: haven't tried it in this condition yet. Price: i don't know the regular price of this speaker as I got it on coupon/sale but for what I paid(60CAD) ,it's worth it. I believe Soundcore goes on sale pretty often. I also have a Soundcore earbuds and headphones and I got them both on sale(bought on separate occasions). So far I'm enjoying the product and would recommend it 5stars to everyone looking for a portable speaker. Another feature that made me go for this unit is that it states in the description that you can connect it to other Soundcore speakers! I don't have other SC speakers right now but it's nice to know that if in the future I decide to get another one for a different room, I can easily play the same music on all of them as long as they're connected to one another. Two things I don't like however, is that I learned from the app that it's not recommended to use the speaker while charging, and also you can't leave it plugged in. I wanted to leave it plugged in as I was planning to leave it on top of our cupboard as it sounded the best there. Thankfully battery life is great so I won't have to keep charging it every 3 hrs. oh well...
