Anker Soundcore 2
Score: 77/100
EWA A106 Pro
Score: 61/100Rankings
The Anker Soundcore 2 offers exceptional battery longevity, IPX7 durability and decent sound with BassUp enhancement, making it a solid budget choice. Its lack of modern charging, app support and microphone keep it from competing with premium models.
The EWA A106 Pro is a palm-sized, IP67-rated Bluetooth speaker with strong bass for its size, lightweight design and a travel case. It offers up to 12 h playback at moderate volume but lacks a microphone, aux input and can be quiet at high volume.
