Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Anker Soundcore Select Pro

  • Powerful stereo sound with impressive, deep bass response enhanced by the BassUp feature.
  • Excellent battery life offering up to 16 hours of continuous playback on a single charge.
  • Fully IPX7 waterproof design that safely floats on water, making it ideal for pool parties.
  • Great value for money, delivering premium audio capabilities at an affordable price point.
  • Built-in LED lights that flash and dance in synchronization with the music beat.
  • Highly customizable sound profiles and lighting options via the companion Soundcore app.
  • Sturdy integrated carry handle makes the robust and lightweight body easy to transport.

What customers don't like about Anker Soundcore Select Pro

  • Lacks an auxiliary (3.0mm/Aux-in) port, limiting physical audio connections to Bluetooth only.
  • Floats upside down in water, causing the speaker drivers to point downward into the pool.
  • The default factory equalizer settings can sound flat or muffled out of the box without manual tweaking.
  • Audio quality can experience distortion or sound heavily strained when pushed to maximum volume levels.
  • Minor Bluetooth latency or audio delay reported by some users when watching videos on platforms like YouTube.
  • The retail package includes a USB-C charging cable but lacks an included wall charging block.

Verdict

The Anker Soundcore Select Pro is a rugged, portable outdoor Bluetooth 5.0 speaker featuring a 30W stereo output power, dual 70mm drivers, and a frequency response up to 40kHz. Key advantages include its IPX7 waterproof rating that allows it to float in water, a built-in carry handle for easy transport, integrated beat-driven LED lights, customizable EQ via the Soundcore app, a 16-hour battery life, and PowerIQ technology to charge external devices via USB-C. However, it lacks a traditional 3.5mm auxiliary input port for wired audio sources and can experience compressed, somewhat distorted sound fidelity when played at maximum volume levels.
