Amazon UKSoundcore's Select 2S sits in Anker's affordable portable speaker line-up, competing with the likes of JBL's Go/Clip range and other compact 20W Bluetooth boxes. It's aimed at people who want bigger, room-filling sound than a pocket speaker can manage, without moving up to bulkier (and pricier) party models.
Who is the Select 2S actually for?
If you mostly listen at home, in the garden, or take a speaker to parks and holidays, the 20W output gives you proper volume headroom before things start sounding strained. Soundcore's BassUp mode is there for tracks that need extra low-end weight, while the custom EQ lets you rein it back for podcasts or more balanced listening. "Stereo sound" matters most if you're placing it centrally in a room, rather than tucked in a corner.
- 20W output, more authority than mini speakers, better for open spaces
- BassUp + Custom EQ, quick punch or tailored tuning depending on what you're playing
