Verdict

The Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go is an ultra-portable, 265g Bluetooth 5.4 speaker featuring a single forward-facing driver with a 5W output, a customizable 9-band EQ via its companion app, and True Wireless Stereo pairing capabilities. Its standout pros include a rugged IP67 dustproof and waterproof rating that allows it to float in water, a built-in carrying strap, and an exceptional ultra-long battery life of up to 20 hours of continuous playback. However, its main cons are a noticeable lack of deep low-end bass due to its compact form factor, a forward-facing mono soundstage that limits audio directivity, and a non-detachable strap that cannot be unclipped without an external carabiner.
