SoundcoreGlow Mini Portable Speaker By Anker, Bluetooth Speaker with 360° Sound, Light Show, 12H Battery, Customizable EQ and Light, IP67 Waterproof and Dustproof, for Camping, Home and Beach Parties

I saw this speaker randomly scrolling through many here on Amazon .. Price point on par with other reputable, popular, cost friendly/budget speakers like JBL Go3. Which I'm using as a comparison for price & sound.Sound quality: blows the Go3 away. Hands down. Much cleaner sounding highs, mids & even has really good low end/bass for such a small speaker. Overall sound clarity is superb, full & well balanced. Volume level is a bit louder than Go3 as well.Doesn't necessarily feel as "rugged" as Go3.. However Go3 is built to take tumbles & such..which it has proven it's durability in the hands of all who own one.The Glow also feels solid/sturdy, has a quility feel for the build. I'm sure it stand up to daily abuse. It's built with a thick plastic body, Rubberized bottom & the "rubber footprint" is really stable. Does Not move or slightly "dance" around unlike it's predecessors Anker Mini, Mini 2,Mini 3 & 3Pro all of which I own.Connectivity is seemless & simple (with voice prompt.) As it should be. Charging is type-C & only input port on device,located in the "back" under finger loop behind a rubber flap/door.As for the buttons...The layout is flat & stupid. The party cast button should be in the rear or on the end with the other buttons. Best place in my opinion is where the power on/off/play/pause/call answer/call hang-up button is. The rest of the buttons seem fine but those 2 buttons should be swapped. It's a senseless design & flawed.It's not intuitive at all. JBL, Bose, Skullcandy, random off brands etc.. Have a much better button layouts that makes sense... Even prior Anker Mini speakers have a better button layout. Why they changed it on this product is beyond my understanding & I'm quite sure many will agree with that point of view. Some things need to be left alone, things ppl are used to. Button layout happens to be one of those things.Anker really dropped the ball on this... Which hampers the overall ease of use. It's already difficult to discern the buttons in dim lighting. In dim lighting it Would be nice to know where they are/*which button is which* if they were raised a lil more - that would be enough so you can tell which button does what without directly looking directly at them as well.The light effects are cool, very colorful & not to bright but bright enough for outdoor day use & can be seen however not so much in sunlight.. But that can be said about any speaker that has light effects. So definitely not a caveat.The description states that in the soundcore app you can tweek the lighting & sound effects...which can be found in the app audio EQ settings.The sound effects are nice. Has custom EQ settings as well as presets to chose from... As for the lighting effects. You can customize in a variety of colors & ways. Neat features most other devices do not have. Fun to tinker with..Phone calls on this speaker seem clear for the recipient on the other end with no breakup or garbly static.Not much else to say about it as I just got it & so far am very pleased with it. It has an app & great feature set for a speaker this size that sounds REALLY GOOD & is quite impressive... Checks all the boxes for me & I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up getting a sound quality award . It really is top notch... But the button layout is rediculous to the point of drunken stupidity.Battery life - sufficient, could be better but good enough.Value - yes, very good product, well worth the money.

Easy to use! Daughter loves it.

Absolutely love the Soundcore brand and the PartyCast 2.0 functionality. That said this speaker underperformed, even with the modest price point. I got it on sale for $30, which isn't too bad for the quality, but given the performance I've gotten out of their other products I expected a bit more. The battery life is good to fair, the lights seem to drain it quite quickly. It's very easy to pair and is overall a decent speaker.

I've had over 15 different Bluetooth speakers of different sizes. For this particular size this is in my opinion the best speaker for the money. Better than the tribit Stormbox Micro 2 while costing less.The sound out of the box is decent but with the right equalizer settings it is great.

All extremely good

it sounded great and looked great. i am a huge fan of this brand. however the tiny and impossible to see "knobs" were a ridiculous design feature. but the reason i returned it is that it would not pair with my macbook pro (i tried numerous times and it was a hit and a miss). my other Bluetooth devices immediately paired with it.later on, i will order a different Soundcore product because overall I have no complaints about this brand. when i ever had a faulty speaker (it has happens a few times but i have bought about 7 speakers over the years) i have been able to return them/exchange them.

I had a first gen soundcore that I bought back in 2016. It’s still kicking, and these soundcore 3s are even better! The subwoofers add a little oomph to your music listening experience.I bought two and often use them as a stereo pair, which can be achieved by pressing the Bluetooth buttons on them (instructions are available online).The app of iOS isn’t that great since I can’t seem to add both of my devices. Seems it only lets you add one of each type in the app.Either way, you don’t need the app once you’ve programmed the color style of the LEDs.I’ve had them for 3 or 4 months now, and I use them 5 days a week at work. Keeps my team entertained while working

Son loves the lights and music sounds great
