What customers like about Tecno Square S2

  • Good sound output that remains crisp and loud even at a distance
  • Clear vocal quality and decent bass performance for its size
  • Versatile connectivity options including Bluetooth, AUX, USB flash drive, and TF/SD card
  • Eye-catching 360-degree colorful LED lighting effects that sync with the music
  • Supports True Wireless Stereo (TWS) dual speaker pairing for surround sound
  • Long battery life offering up to 11 hours of music playback and a physical battery level indicator
  • Compact, lightweight, and highly portable design ideal for travel and outdoor gatherings

What customers don't like about Tecno Square S2

  • Lacks water and dust resistance, making it vulnerable to liquid damage outdoors
  • Uses an older Micro-USB charging port rather than a modern USB Type-C port
  • Bass response can sometimes leave something to be desired at maximum volumes
  • Some users report occasional reliability issues, such as the speaker stopping working properly over time
  • Does not support modern fast pairing standards or hands-free voice commands

Verdict

The Tecno Square S2 is a portable Bluetooth 5.0 wireless speaker featuring a 52mm super dynamic driver for well-balanced sound and a built-in 2200mAh battery that delivers up to 11 hours of music playback. Main pros include its versatile multi-mode connectivity options—supporting USB flash drives, TF cards, and an AUX input—alongside a vibrant 360-degree dazzling LED light effect, True Wireless Stereo pairing for connecting two units, and a built-in microphone for hands-free calling. However, notable cons include its lack of water resistance, an dated micro-USB charging port instead of USB-C, and a reduction in battery life to around 7 hours when operating both music and the light effects simultaneously.
