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.
