Customer Ratings & Reviews

This little speaker is amazing. While I didn't expect audiophile quality, deep booming bass, or concert hall filling sound, this little speaker really does an amazing job. It can get surprisingly loud, while still maintaining clarity. For such a small speaker, the bass is astonishingly good. The highs can get a bit scratchy, especially at higher volumes. Great for backyard get togethers, integrating with an established Bluetooth home speaker system, kitchen music, and camping. The waterproofing makes it great for the outdoors, canoe trips, river/beach/lake days and backyard cookouts. The LED on top gives you a mini light show, nice for patio parties. While I wasn't able to test the feature, Anker claims that you can link to other Soundcore speakers for multi speaker playback. The soundcore app for the EQ is easy to use, and connects seamlessly. The attached carry strap makes it convenient to hang somewhere, tree branch, pole, plant hook. Get these as gifts for your friends/family and link them together at your next gathering. Battery life for me was excellent. The claim is 15 hours. So far for me in 3 long running tests streaming from pandora I got 14 hours 37 mins, 16 hours 1 minute and 15 hours 54 minutes. YMMV.

Small speaker with big sound. The Mini 3 Pro is small but has a rich full sound speaker Sound This little speaker puts out a strong, rich sound! I played a number of different styles of music on it and was impressed with the results. Not only are lyrics strong and clear but bass lines really come through too! It has great volume and bass for the size. Design This speaker is small and light-weight!!! It's very easy for me to take it anywhere because of that and the small loop/lanyard that's attached. It's also completely water-proof so there are no worries when taking it to the pool. The bottom of the side has the buttons on it. They're the same color and material as the rest of the speaker but they stick out so you can feel them. There's a power button, volume up/down, an action button that you can use to active the assistant on your phone, and a Bluetooth button. There are also a series of 12 LED lights around the top that really just form a band of color. It can be the same color or different colors. A quick press of the power button will turn the colors off if you don't want them but you can do a lot more with the colors using the SoundCore app. It uses a USB-C port to charge, which I'm a fan of since I've got a number of USB-C devices. It does not have an 1/8" stereo in jack so the only way to connect to it is by Bluetooth but that's usually what I use anyway. It supports Bluetooth 5 so that's good! There's a rubber door that goes over the USB-C port to protect it from water. It also has a very grippy rubber bottom. SoundCore App The SoundCore app is an easy to use way to control the functions of your speaker. It will let you change the EQs and volume but the most interesting thing is the light control. It comes with a handful of different light effects such as Party Time, Bouncing Beats, and Cool Breath. You can also edit the effects by changing and selecting colors. I liked the multi color mode that was the default but like it even more when I customized the effects, changed the effect, and made it a single color. The SoundCore app also checks for new firmware for the speaker and updates it. The app is also needed to update the firmware of the speaker. The app makes that easy, letting you know when there's an update.

This is the best small speaker I have listened to! I'm not sure what the Bass Up feature is in this speaker but when turned on it sounds great. I really didn't expect to feel the speaker move as music plays. Holding the speaker in my hand as it plays, it feels like a large magnet moving a large cone. This speaker gets loud enough to fill my den without distortion. This speaker has a light ring around the top speaker that provides a light show to the beat of the music. There are several different light show patterns that can be chosen in the app. The color spectrum can be controlled too. The app provides an EQ with custom settings and presets available. There are a number of playlist buttons in the app with various music style options. I haven't found a path from the app to the music on my phone but if I play music from my phone it automatically comes through the speaker. This speaker is great on phone calls, it's water proof, is rated for 15 hours listening time, you can join 100 + of these together at a party and it can connect to 2 sources at once (playing one at a time). If your packing light, there is a lot of fun in this little package.

Setup couldn’t be easier. It took less than 15 seconds to be up and running. No kidding. It took longer to download the app but by then I was already enjoying music connect through my iPhone. There was enough charge for a few hours and the included USB-C cable can be used to fully charge it for a promised 15 hours, which I couldn’t confirm. While it won’t blow up your ceiling, the Anker Soundcore Mini 3 Pro will surprise many with a performance that is much bigger than its size. Being very picky when it comes to audio system, I never expect much from such tiny speakers and I am mostly right. In this case, though, I am glad to say that it sounds much better than a similar sized popular smart speaker with Alexa. Bass is good, not perfect but I definitely wouldn't set my expectations too high for such a compact device. It is waterproof, which you can’t say about that popular speaker. Just strap it to your swimming suite – although I wouldn’t recommend listening to it under water – and forget about it being damaged as long as you don’t go deeper than 3 feet. One interesting feature is the PartyCast, which allows you to connect multiple Soundcore speakers for a more immersive experience if you have another one around. And by immersive, I don’t mean stereo or surround in the real sense. Still, it brings some extra fun. Working at my backyard today, I had it running for over 7 hours without a glitch even while I was moving away from it. Just used it again to make a phone call and it sounded really good at both ends. Still playing with the Soundcore app, which can control bass for instance. After, finding the best setting for me, I probably won’t use it much, except for checking eventual firmware updates. Not saying that it isn’t worth it but I couldn’t find much use for it. Even though it is mostly noticeable in dark environments, the Lightshow is fun too. My five-star rating is just because it far exceeded my expectation, especially at this size and price range. For an extremely portable speaker, it couldn’t be much better than this. If you need something that will really impress your ears with crisper sound, then you’d probably need to go with a bigger system and spend considerably more. But again, it is worth the price.

PROS - Great sound for such a small speaker - Durable build quality - USB-C charging - My kids love the RGB lighting - Water resistant CONS - The rubber bottom collects dirt/pebbles like it’s its job == SETUP == Pairing the Soundcore Mini with your phone is super easy. You just need to hold the power button for a few seconds to power it on AND put it into pairing mode. Anker also has an app you can install on your phone, which assists in pairing, but it’s best used to give you more control over the Mini and keep it updated. == SOUND QUALITY == The Mini is smaller than a can of soda, so keep your expectations in check. However, for such a small speaker, the audio quality and volume is quite impressive. I think rock/pop sounds the best on this speaker, but you may disagree. This is a fun little speaker to bring along on a picnic, to keep around while BBQing, or while hanging out on the patio. == DURABILITY == I haven’t put the Soundcore Mini through any “torture” tests, but it has been dropped from waist height a few times already, with NO damage seen/heard yet. It does have a water resistant rating, so it should be fine if caught in the rain or sprinkler, but I would still avoid dropping it near the pool if you can. == BOTTOM LINE == It’s small size, durable build, good audio quality, and RGB lighting makes this my kids favorite speaker to run around with while they’re playing outside. I like to use it while relaxing on the patio or when using the grill. It may be small, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised with how good it sounds for its size.

First I want to thank Anker for creating premium speakers without the premium price. I absolutely love my new Soundcore Mini 3's. I have the mini 1 and the mini 2's. These just simply sound better and more full and rich. The bass is clearly more noticable and the app really lets you customize the sound to your liking. They're good looking speakers and very small especially considering the sound they provide. Truly amazing speakers especially for the price. Three things to keep in mind. These have Partycast mode meaning you can connect them via bluetooth to another speaker however they are not TWS as far as I can tell meaning they don't play in true stereo sound. I don't mind it at all but some might. They also have no aux port like the mini 1's and 2's do. Again, doesn't affect me. Last they have no sd micro slot like the mini 1 has. I highly recommend these!

The box says “size defying” and I have to say, it’s not lying. This compact little speaker pumps out a lot of great sound, better than you’d probably expect from something this small. Pairing the Soundcore Mini 3 to my phone was simple, and the Soundcore app makes it easy to choose equalizer settings and change up (or disable) the multicolor light effects. The design is simple, with a few controls (power, volume, play/pause, and Bluetooth pairing) near the bottom edge and a small cloth loop that can be used as a carry handle or to clip the speaker to something else. The speaker is waterproof, and there is a solid feeling rubber cover for the charging port to keep it from getting wet. Overall, this is a great little speaker. Easy to take somewhere on the go, sounds fantastic, and my kiddo loves the light effects.

Wont charge AT ALL. Cant play music even if it's plugged in. Passed my returnablw date (not by much) so im stuck with this speaker now. Loved it before this. Great sound quality for being so small. Louder than my Sony one which is the same size.

My fault. i needed a speaker with a SD slot so I had to teturn it.

If you are looking for a small portable speaker that has very good sound, the Soundcore Mini may just be what you are looking for. This is not a room filling sound blaster, but for a small office, cubicle, or small room this is the ticket. It is waterproof, has a USB-C charging cable, Party Cast, and lights up. I don’t really use the Partycast, and the lighting is nice, but for e the sound quality is what counts. First off, this is not a loud blasting speaker, but it does have very good sound quality for such a small package. The highs are crisp, the mids are clear, and the bass is surprisingly good. I would recommend this as a small space personal speaker that will give you surprisingly good quality sound.

This little thing is awesome. I can't believe how loud it gets. It has great clarity and surprisingly good bass. I love that it is waterproof. I use it in the shower all the time. Showers are fun now. LOL. The lights on it are very cool. Battery life is great. It's a great all around speaker that can be used pretty much anywhere. Good job Anker!

A few months after buying this product I had volume issues. Very low. I assumed upgrading to this one would help but I had same issue as the first one I bought.

This speaker is great for the size. It paired very quickly with my phone and turning it on after a music session is quickly started. The sounds is great and you can download the app Soundcore and are able to adjust the EQ. On top of the speaker there are lights that light up based on the sound if you enjoy that. Also there is a little carry handle or ring at the top which you can hook to something if you are mobile. The base has a sticky base which makes it stick to the surface a little so it won't vibrate and move. I enjoy Anker products and this one didn't disappoint at the least.

I’m not a huge fan of small speakers since you can’t really get much out of them but I’m pleasantly surprised how much bass you can get out of it for the size and price of it. Inside the box you get the speaker and cable and that’s pretty much it. It’s also IPX7 so you don’t have to worry about getting it wet. It connects to Soundcore app which allows you to EQ it and change the lights which I find kind of annoying but you have them and can turn them off. Battery lasts a while as well.

This is the first small Bluetooth speaker that I own. I have headphones, earbuds and a pair of high-end Bluetooth wireless speakers for my TV. I have to say that for the size these are amazing. The app was easy to load and control the speaker. The app can allow you to adjust the EQ of the speaker or has presets for specific settings. The speaker also has a light feature that lights to the music. This feature can also be adjusted in the app. The speaker is charged via USB C and charges quickly and I have played the speaker for a week several hours a day and just now needed to recharge it. As for sound. This little thing is amazing. I was very surprised at how good it sounds. The highs are great but the low end was what was so surprising. It is hard to believe how much bass comes out of this for its size. In doors it sounds great but I will say outdoors it loses a little in volume. From what I have read you can link up to 100 of these speakers together. I will probably be buying some more of these for outdoor use. All in all, this speaker is a real winner. I can’t believe you get so much sound for the size and price. I would highly recommend this speaker to anyone.

One of my best purchases in a long time. Great price, sound and very portsble. I bring it outside to the patio and to the kitchen table among other places and listen to great music or podcasts there.

This speaker sounds great and is very pleasing to listen to and use. I do think the only two gripes I have are that the buttons which are muted can be hard to see and the color can't be set to a single color. You can however true to the RGB colors off which will make some folks happy. When you install the software it allows for several different combinations and color patterns but you can't just set it to say blue. The sound is surprising and can be used on your desk to give you a full experience. I wish I had maybe 4 or 5 of these paired. My almost teenage daughter wants me to let her use these as well. She was drawn to them. The build is excellent and is highly recommended if you want big sound in a small package.

This is by far the best speaker in its price range. Are there better speakers? Short answer is yes but they are going to cost 3 to 5 times what this tiny power house pack. The bass was solid and not muddy as small footprints seem to be. The mids and highs we crisp however tend to be a bit directional as the only drawback I could find. The lights are pretty cool but really a non factor in the review. The battery life was very good and on par with just about everything in this price range. I quite honestly was blown away with this speaker would give it more stars if possible

Decent sound. Easy connection. Portable size, but won’t fit in your pocket. It’s a basic Bluetooth portable speaker. I don’t see anything special about it. The lights are happy.

This Bluetooth wireless speaker is perfect to use outdoors or where you don't have electricity. It withstood light exposure to moisture(brief rainshower), and I am using it on vacation as well as in my potting shed which has no electricity. Easy to charge with a USB cable. The only ding is it won't pair with a Dot. It pairs well with my Samsung Galaxy.
