Score: 85/100
Doss SoundBox Pro
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Anker Soundcore 2 is a budget-friendly Bluetooth speaker that offers 12 W of stereo sound, 24-hour battery life, and an IPX7 waterproof rating. Its lack of aptX and mono output when used alone limit high-fidelity and immersive listening. Ideal for casual outdoor use and travelers who value long battery life and durability over audiophile-grade sound.
The DOSS SoundBox Pro is a compact Bluetooth speaker delivering 20 W stereo sound with a 20-hour battery and IPX6 waterproof protection. Its heavier build and modest bass depth are notable trade-offs. Best suited for budget-conscious users who prioritize long playtime and party features.
