soundcore Anker Select 4 Go Ultra-Portable Bluetooth Speaker

My dayzzzz this speaker is AMAZING (considering the size). Sound quality is so clean, clear and crisp. I LOVE base and though this does not give a deep base (expected for its size) there is a level of base that has me still enjoying my music (like I said the music is clean, clear and crisp). I can’t fault it. Got it on prime for £19.99 which is a steal for the quality you get from this compact speaker. It’s super loud, great for holidays, garden, picnic. I’ve enjoyed it whilst in my room doing work and cooking in the kitchen. Super easy to connect to your device. You won’t regret the buy. UPDATE: I didn’t read you can adjust the sound through the app. This has only just got better now that I’ve done this. I was already looking to buy a second without knowing this as many reviews mention playing from more than one. Worth buying 2 and worth more than what it currently cost. I would give it more stars if I could. I’ve used Sony and Bose this is my new fave.

I bought the Soundcore Select 4 Go Portable Bluetooth Speaker because I was looking for a portable speaker I could carry about with me in my backpack while on my travels. And overall I think it is an excellent budget-friendly portable speaker. It is small, lightweight and easy to carry, making it ideal for taking on trips, using around the house, or throwing into a backpack when heading outdoors. I loved it so much, I actually bought two! One of the standout features is the battery life. You get up to around 20 hours of playtime, which is impressive for such a compact speaker. It also has IP67 protection, so it is both waterproof and dustproof, and it even floats. Just make sure the rubber charging port cover is properly sealed before exposing it to water. Setting it up is simple. Hold the power button for two seconds to switch it on or off, then press the Bluetooth button to put it into pairing mode. The indicator light flashes blue while pairing, and once connected to your phone, tablet or other device, it turns solid blue. The physical controls are straightforward too: the play button pauses or resumes music, double-press skips forward, triple-press goes back, and the volume buttons work exactly as expected. The Soundcore app is worth downloading because it unlocks the customisable 9-band equaliser, sound presets such as Balanced, Treble Boost and Bass Boost, auto power-off settings, and firmware updates. Charging is done with the supplied USB-C cable and a certified 5V wall charger, with a full charge taking around four hours. If you buy two Select 4 Go speakers, you can pair them together for True Wireless Stereo by holding the Bluetooth button on both speakers for about two seconds. This is a great feature, but there is one important thing to check: both speakers need to be from the same hardware generation. You can check the serial number under the charging port cover or in the Soundcore app. If the seventh character is “C”, it is the newer upgraded version; if it is “0” or “1”, it is the older version. If you plan to buy two, it is safest to buy them from the same supplier at the same time. Sound quality is very good for the size. I was especially impressed with vocal clarity, which makes it great for podcasts, spoken-word content and casual music listening. The equaliser gives you a good amount of control over the sound, although the speaker’s small physical size does mean it cannot deliver really deep bass. That is understandable at this price and size, but worth knowing if heavy bass is your main priority. Pros: • Lightweight, compact and very portable • Up to around 20 hours of playtime • IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating • Floats in water • Clear vocals for podcasts and everyday listening • Customisable sound through the Soundcore app • Can be paired with a second speaker for True Wireless Stereo Cons: • Deep bass is limited because of the small speaker size • True Wireless Stereo pairing requires matching hardware generations • You need the app to get the most out of the equaliser and firmware updates Final verdict: The Soundcore Select 4 Go is an excellent ultra-portable Bluetooth speaker for the money. It is rugged, easy to use, has strong battery life, and sounds better than you might expect from something this small. If you want a compact speaker for travel, podcasts, casual music, camping, beach days or general everyday use, I would highly recommend it.

For the money this speaker is brilliant. It is perfect for travelling due to it being small and compact. It is well durable too. It charges very quickly and works perfectly. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone wanting a small speaker especially for travelling with.

Fantastic speaker for its size and price. Feels very solid and well built. It looks good too. The sound is surprisingly loud and well-rounded considering how small it is. The carry loop is useful. You can use the app to adjust EQ settings if you wish (the Treble Boost preset sounds best IMO). The 20 hour playtime is accurate in my experience. Cons: It's quite slow to charge. For example, this morning using a 30W fast charger it's taken 70 minutes to charge from 30% to 70%. Also if you like using bluetooth speakers at night for quiet listening while you lay in bed you'll struggle to find the buttons with your fingers, as the slightly recessed row of buttons sits under a smooth surface with no tactile indication of where each button is. If you have weak hands you might find the amount of pressure required to press the buttons a bit high. Personally the cons aren't enough to reduce my score from 5 stars. I'm very happy with this, it's one of the best bargains I've bought in a while. PS: You can disable the power on/off/connection sounds in the Soundcore app by turning off Speaker Prompts in the settings.

I bought this speaker just after Christmas, so I've had plenty of time to use it and really get to know this speaker over the past month or 2. For a cheap speaker, it's packaged and built really well, you won't drop it once and regret it, nor will you be able to pull the mesh off with relative ease. It's small, rugged, waterproof and floats on water if you drop it in a pool or something. The battery last's an immense amount of run time. But with Soundcore being a sub-brand of Anker, you'd kind of expect that. It's got way more battery life than other speakers like the JBL Go 4 and the Sony SRS-XB100. I've charged this speaker maybe twice, in the roundabout 2 months I had it, and both of those times it wasn't flat. I last charged it about 2/2 and a half weeks ago and it's only just reached 50% after some very frequent use. The sound quality is good, it's not going to break any records and audiophiles aren't going to come and ask you what device you use. But it's good for a speaker in this price range. Out of the box, the mids are a bit much. Song with high hats in, and some voices can be a bit harsh. However, if you get the Soundcore app, tone down the mids and bring the bass and treble up a bit, you can easily fix it and turn it into a well rounded sound profile for a compact speaker. I give it 4 stars, just purely on the out of the box sound quality. If the base profile had a little less mids and a bit more bass/treble thrown in it would make a perfect, cheap, portable and long lasting speaker. Also, if the little loop band could dethatch to wrap around things, that would be a bonus too.

This has to be one of the best value bluetooth speakers you can buy. I love soundcore as a brand and also have some of their headphones. I bought this speaker last year and took it to a 4 day festival where it kept up the entire time, playing loudly for our entire camp of about 10 adults. Everyone was impressed with the sound quality this small speaker managed to put out. I like it so much i'm going to buy another this year, as i'm told they auto pair for a stereo music experience. The design is great too, available in eye catching colours, which more tech should be in my opinion. Waterproof and rugged, so it can be taken pretty much anywhere. I can't think of a single thing that would improve this, and you'd be wise to pick it over anything bigger, unless you're planning a rave with hundreds of people.

This is good value for money. The volume is great, sound quality is 100, the battery health is phenomenal, the compact is amazing. Functionality is very good, the charging is swift too.

Absolutely love it! Recently got an iPhone 17 in green and this matches it perfectly! Sound is great, perfect base and holds really well. Charged it when I got it about a month ago and haven’t needed to charge it since. Used pretty much every day for 30 mins. Easy to charge. Connects to my phone great, sound doesn’t lack base and performs really well!

Ho scelto questo Soundcore Select 4 Go di Anker perché mi serviva un’altoparlante bluetooth da utilizzare in doccia per ascoltare musica ma anche per usarlo in giro, magari al mare o in piscina o in qualsiasi altro posto ci sia bisogno di un pò di musica per rallegrare l’umore. La confezione è ben curata, il prodotto è arrivato in condizioni perfette. Oltre allo speaker in confezione c’è anche un cavetto che si può usare per la ricarica tramite la porta USB-C. La durata della batteria è fenomenale, io lo uso tutti i giorni per circa 1 ora e ancora dopo 1 settimana non l’ho ricaricato, dovrebbe durare 20 ore (non al massimo del volume). La ricarica non è velocissima, ma data la durata eccellente della batteria non lo reputo assolutamente un problema. La qualità dell’audio è ottima, alti e medi cristallini, non distorce nemmeno al massimo del volume. I bassi sono presenti ma non eccessivamente, altri concorrenti fanno meglio ma a scapito della durata della batteria e di una pulizia del suono complessivamente peggiore. Ovviamente stiamo parlando comunque di un “giocattolo”, non è assolutamente per audiofili, non è stato progettato per questo. Io però mi ritengo assolutamente soddisfatto, lo ricomprerei a occhi chiusi, spero duri nel tempo perché è meraviglioso. Anche il colore mi piace un sacco, c’è ne sono diversi disponibili. Il prezzo è veramente ridicolo per la qualità che offre e la solidità complessiva, è IP67 (resistente all’acqua e alla polvere a patto che la porta di ricarica sia sigillata con l’apposito tappo in gomma). Se buttato in acqua galleggia, un’altro punto a favore se usato in piscina. Si possono accoppiare due di questi speaker per avere un’audio stereo, forse ne comprerò un’atro per farlo. In definitiva, se vi serve uno speaker per l’estate compratelo senza pensarci, non ve ne pentirete.

We used this speaker on the beach. It is compact and very easy to carry. With a carabineer it attached to the beach bag. The sound was good and it lasted in the sand and surf. I can not to speak to longevity as I have only had it 3 weeks. Battery seemed to last and it was easy to connect to my android device.

Muy buena opción económica, me ha salido bastante bien para cuando voy en bici o en senderismo, me ha aguantado bastante la pila y el sonido está bastante aceptable, puedes ecualizarlo desde de app movil, es compacta y resistente.

Guys, the reviews are legit. This little speaker punches way above its weight class for both price point and performance. The battery life is also great. Comparable to a lot of other more expensive speakers in its class, you will get similar quality of sound at often half the price of JBL, Sony, Bose - etc. I was a Bose and Sony man my whole life, but for speakers this small, the minimal difference in sound quality between brands is not worth the cost difference in my opinion. It's very compact, it can fit in a side pocket of some cargo pants, or attached to a bike or backpack easily. You can also download the app and tune the speaker from your phone to your preferences. Its great for filling a large bedroom with sound, and anywhere inside 20 feet when outdoors. Would highly recommend this product. If you can wait for it to go on sale, even better.

Amazing little desktop setup with two of these. The automatic stereo pairing works flawless and is a great worry free audio solution!
