With the Soundcore, Anker kept things very simple. The unboxing is simple and clear, just like the speaker itself (more on that later). You will get the speaker, a smaller box with a micro USB charging cable, and information about the guarantee. There’s even a clever little booklet with advice on how to let Anker know what you think about the product. The speaker isn’t big or flashy, and it has a simple look that makes it easy to miss in a group of other speakers. Still, it’s not ugly.
The Soundcore is a small black rectangle made mostly of soft plastic. The front of the speaker is hidden by a grille. The name “Anker” is written in white on the grille, which is one of two places on this speaker where the brand is shown. The other place is on the back. The soft plastic isn’t exactly a fingerprint magnet, but if you want it to look like it just came out of the box, you’ll need to wipe it down every once in a while.

Where to get Upgraded, Anker Soundcore Bluetooth Speaker with IPX5 Waterproof?
Connectivity was a little better than average for speakers in this price range. It works well most of the time and has Bluetooth 4.0 and a range of about 60 feet. If there are walls within about 40 feet, it starts to stutter and skip, but if there aren’t any, the link stays strong. The top buttons also work well. You can control the volume and pause or play music right from the gadget. There is also an AUX port on the side of the speaker for people who want to connect a device that doesn’t work with Bluetooth.
