soundcore 2 review and notes

The product in question is bluetooth speaker SoundCore 2 A3105 which was $44.99ish before tax.

I am not getting paid or compensated in any way for this information. If you wish to change that, please contact me!

Behavior of button play/pause

Here is some additional info not in the manual about the play/pause button:

  • 3 times: restart this track
  • 4 times: skip back

Here is what is published in the manual.

  • 1 time: play/pause
  • 2 times: skip forward

Thoughts

Bass doesn't sound as thorough as JBL Flip 3, but that one was damaged or broken and kept freezing up for no good reason.

Auxiliary notes

Internet search bluetooth speaker skip backward showed that some bluetooth speakers skip back when you press play/pause 3+ times. My research shows this can work on the Soundcore 2 speaker!

After more time

Sometimes the words sound a little mushy/slurred. Overall I'd say this is a rather disappointing bluetooth speaker. It also suffers from the random freezing as my old device. Maybe I have a jellyfin problem. So I'm still just using the much clearer (when it's working) JBL Flip 3.
