Review: Amazing upgrade from Soundcore 1 & 2, perfect if you
don't need AUX/3.5mm - TL;DR: - No aux - USB-C charging -
Noticeably improved sound compared to gen 1 and gen 2 - much
shorter delay in audio to video. No delay when connected to my
Google TV Streamer 4k - Easily worth the price point in my
opinion I've owned multiple Soundcore 1's and a couple of
Soundcore 2's. One of my Soundcore 2's died on me after several
years of service (first Soundcore to ever die on me) so I decided
to give the Soundcore 3 a try. First of all, I messed up when I
ordered this speaker (but I'm glad I did). I assumed this had an
Aux port, but it doesn't. That's on me. This wasn't falsely
advertised as having one, I had just made the assumption it would
because the versions before had them. Unfortunately, what I
originally needed it for required an aux jack. Thankfully, I own
multiple Soundcores and all the rest have Aux jacks. Most of my
Soundcores are driving audio for screens. This is why Aux was so
important to me. Bluetooth audio typically has a 1 or 2 second
delay. So I tried to find where I could make this work with
Bluetooth. I have a Soundcore 1 hooked up to a projector that's
being driven by a Google TV Streamer 4K. I know Google's
streaming devices are usually pretty good at calculating delay
with bluetooth speakers, so I connected the Soundcore 3 to the
Google TV Streamer 4k (Not the projector) and it worked
beautifully. IF there was ANY delay, it wasn't noticeable to my
family and I. Pairing with bluetooth is easy as it was with the
previous models: hold down the bluetooth button for a couple of
seconds and the speaker will chime and the bluetooth light will
flash, indicating it's ready to pair. There is a noticeable
improvement to the sound with the Soundcore 3. The sound is
clear, crisp, and the bass doesn't drown out the treble or mid.
Controls are Simple and should be familiar to anyone who already
owns a Soundcore 1 or 2. The middle button is the soundcore logo.
It's replaced the play button, but does the same and also mimics
many of the classic controls that wireless earbuds have. Example:
1 tap - pause/play. 2 taps - forward a song. 3 taps - restart /
previous song The volume buttons are mid left and mid right where
they've been on all models. The front has a new design compared
to the 1 and 2. It has a very similar body to the soundcore 2
with a matte rubber like finish. It is slightly wider or "deeper"
than the soundcore 2 front to back, but is similar in height,
length and weight. The USB-C port is an awesome upgrade in my
opinion. USB-C can charge devices MUCH faster than micro-USB, so
if your device is dead and you need a charge, it can hit max
battery a lot faster. VERY happy that I accidentally purchased
this. I also tested it on a device that's not friendly with
bluetooth delay sync, The delay was noticeable but CONSIDERABLY
shorter compared to the Soundcore 1 and 2. I can't wait to start
bringing this out by the pool this summer to play music for my
family and guests.
Review: Powerful, versatile, great sounding, and waterproof! -
Powerhouse in a small waterproof package! For such a small
footprint this little speaker packs a punch. Very pleased with
the size and sound of this while using it in the shower and
bathtub. Gets plenty loud to hear over the noise of the shower
while still sounding crisp and clear, and also great in the tub
for light background music or even nature sounds to relax. For
the price it's a great purchase.
