The Anker Soundcore Boom 2 portable Bluetooth speaker is now listed at $69.99, a significant reduction from its standard $129.99 retail price.
The discounted price is offered by a major online retailer, with free shipping for members of its loyalty program and a standard $6 fee for other customers. The promotion is scheduled to run for three weeks but may end sooner if inventory is depleted.
The Boom 2 carries an IPX7 rating and is designed to float, allowing safe use around pools and beaches. If the unit becomes submerged, it will surface automatically, though Bluetooth connectivity will be lost until the speaker is removed from the water.
Audio output reaches up to 80 watts through a configuration of two tweeters and a dedicated woofer, providing sufficient volume for large indoor spaces or outdoor gatherings.
A BassUp mode enhances low‑frequency response, delivering a fuller sound profile that many users prefer to keep active. The speaker also supports pairing with a second unit for stereo playback, though connectivity is limited to Bluetooth.
Battery life is rated at up to 24 hours under moderate volume levels with lighting and BassUp disabled; real‑world usage at higher volumes typically yields shorter runtimes.
The design emphasizes durability over refined aesthetics, and while the sound is loud, it lacks the mid‑range and high‑frequency balance found in competitors such as the JBL Flip 6 or Sony SRS‑XB23.
An accompanying mobile app allows users to adjust equalization settings and control built‑in lighting, offering additional customization for varied listening environments.
The Boom 2 is suited for consumers who need a rugged speaker capable of handling unpredictable conditions, delivering high volume without extensive setup, and maintaining operation throughout a full day of use.
