Verdict

The Anker Soundcore Mini 3 Pro is a highly compact, pocket-sized portable Bluetooth 5.0 speaker featuring a single upward-firing 6W driver that delivers 360-degree sound, enhanced by proprietary BassUp technology and a customizable EQ via the Soundcore app. Notable strengths include a robust 15-hour battery life from its 1800mAh battery, convenient USB-C charging, an integrated beat-driven RGB LED light ring, an IPX7 fully waterproof rating, a built-in microphone for hands-free calling, and PartyCast technology allowing multi-speaker linking of over 100 units. However, it lacks a dedicated 3.5mm AUX input and microSD card slot, suffers from audio distortion or struggle at maximum volumes, and has poorly visible button placement near the base that makes them difficult to navigate without lifting the unit.
