Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Sudio F2

  • Minimalist and clean Scandinavian design
  • Highly compact, lightweight, and easy to carry with the attached loop
  • Surprisingly loud sound output for its small physical footprint
  • Excellent midrange performance with clear vocals and instrumentals
  • Strong IPX7 waterproof rating, making it safe for showers or pools
  • Impressive battery life offering up to 15 hours of playback time
  • Broadcast feature allows syncing up to 100 F2 speakers together
  • Includes versatile connectivity options like a 3.5mm AUX port and a built-in microphone

What customers don't like about Sudio F2

  • Bass response is lacking and lacks depth or rumble at lower volumes
  • Slow charging speed, requiring roughly 4 hours for a full charge with no quick-charge support
  • High volume levels can cause the speaker to vibrate and shift on flat surfaces
  • Complex musical tracks (like heavy rock or hip-hop) can sound muddy or slightly distorted
  • Aggressive treble notes can sound a bit harsh or sibilant at maximum volume

Verdict

The Sudio F2 is a compact 20 W portable speaker measuring 106 x 106 x 55 mm and weighing 410 g, with Bluetooth 5.3 and a 3.5 mm AUX input. Its strengths include IPX7 water resistance, up to 15 hours of battery life and a Broadcast mode that can link as many as 100 F2 speakers. The four-hour USB-C charging time is relatively slow, and bass can sound less controlled on complex tracks; at maximum volume, the light enclosure may also vibrate and move on smooth surfaces.
