On offer for its cheapest price to date, the portable speaker has also been praised as ideal for summer holidays, festivals and camping trips
The season of summer getaways and garden get-togethers has arrived – and nothing gets the holiday spirit fired up like some top tunes. Amazon has launched a deal on one of its top-rated speakers for the occasion.
The Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker has seen its price slashed from £39.99 down to £24.98 in a deal marked up as ‘selling fast’ at the online retail giant. The brand promises “unbelievable sound” through this “powerful” speaker – and it has seriously impressed shoppers, with an average rating of 4.7 out of five stars based on more than 140,000 reviews.
Now with 38% off – bringing the gadget down to its cheapest price to date, according to Amazon price tracker CamelCamelCamel – features of this speaker include a play time of 24 hours on a full charge as well as a waterproof design. These two highlights, along with its lightweight and compact build, make it ideal for taking outdoors or travelling with this summer.

The £24.98 price tag also makes the Anker Soundcore 2 a more budget-friendly option compared to other highly rated Bluetooth speakers. For example, the top pick by TechRadar is the JBL Flip 7, which the experts praised as “a compact yet mighty speaker that has it all”, but this has a considerably higher price tag of £99.99 on the brand’s website.
Similarly, What Hi-Fi? put the JBL Charge 6 in the number one spot, which is currently on offer for £129.99 from the brand as well as on the high street at the likes of Argos and Currys. Despite its higher price tag, the experts branded the JBL Charge 6 “about as good as a Bluetooth speaker gets at this level”, owing to its “clear, detailed, hugely confident” sound.
Get the Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
This speaker has earned rave reviews from shoppers as a lightweight and waterproof companion for holidays, camping trips and garden parties.
Back on Amazon, the Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker has earned particular praise as a companion for summer holidays, days out and garden parties in reviews.
One person praised: “I bought this little Bluetooth speaker with the intention for us to take on hotel trips and holidays to have a little music on the go, not so loud as to disturb other guests. It’s a great size for this sort of task, taking up minimal space in a weekend bag or a carry-on.”
Another shopper echoed: “Bought this to take on holiday and am seriously impressed! A lot louder than I was expecting and the bass is great. Haven’t had to recharge it yet, so very happy with the battery life as well.”
A third reviewer said: “Bought for a festival this summer, lasted the whole weekend and the sound was good. Would recommend for the price.”
And someone else wrote: “Great speaker – used for a garden party and was very happy with the sound. Everyone liked it – some even bought one for themselves.”
While 80% of shoppers have so far awarded the Anker Soundcore 2 a full five-star rating, not everyone was impressed with the speaker. “Sound is quite deep and have to alter sound in my Android sound settings every time,” one person fed back.
Meanwhile, a different reviewer commented: “It does seem to get way quieter the father you get from it than any other source of sound I’ve heard before, which has its pros and cons – you won’t disturb the neighbours even on full volume, but it’s not great for say a larger party in the garden.”
