Anker gave me the opportunity to test this product in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. I must say, I am extremely impressed so far over the past week of using it. This is Anker's newest bluetooth speaker - the Anker SoundCore AK-A3102011. Like all Anker products, the packaging is very well made and in the box were instructions, a USB charging cable, and the unit itself. The speaker is light, easily portable, has very nicely designed buttons on the top which are clear and extremely simple to use. Pairing with my HTC One Android Smartphone was simple as well as my Lenovo Tablet. I have not had any dropped connections or bluetooth issues. Battery life has been phenomenal! It truly does last over a full day of use. It's refreshing for a product to have such excellent battery life and not need to be charged constantly. In terms of design, the SoundCore is refined and professional looking with an all-black finish and the logo on the front. It feels sturdy and does not vibrate or slide during use, which is great. Last, but certainly not least, sound quality is incredible! I've had a wide variety of bluetooth speakers and typically the sound is muffled or low in volume or distorts at high levels. But the SoundCore truly sounds excellent - crisp highs, solid bass response, and clear vocals. Volume can reach a powerful level to fill an entire room with plenty of sound and a nice surround sound feel. Overall, I highly recommend this bluetooth speaker! The additional 18-month warranty provided by Anker also is reassuring that the product is made to last.
