Anker Innovation’s subsidiary, Soundcore Philippines, has released a new compact Bluetooth speaker designed for rugged outdoor use.
The Soundcore Select 4 Go features a 5-watt speaker with an 85 dB signal-to-noise ratio, delivering high-quality sound and impressive volume for its compact size.
The battery can last up to 20 hours of playback at 40% volume with a balanced equalizer (EQ) setting on a single charge. The lithium polymer battery can be fully recharged from zero in 4.5 hours.
What sets the Select 4 Go apart from other Bluetooth speakers is its IP67 rating, which certifies it is resistant to both dust and water immersion. This makes it an ideal portable sound system for outdoor use, allowing you to enjoy music without worrying about damage from dust or accidental immersion in water.
For software support, users can download an app for Android or iOS, which allows for EQ adjustments. It features four presets: bass boost, treble boost, balanced, and the Soundcore signature.
Additionally, the custom setting includes a 9-band EQ that can be individually adjusted, enabling users to achieve their desired sound quality.
The app also allows users to save EQ profiles for easy switching, depending on whether the speaker is being used for music, communication, or movies.
The Select 4 Go also supports True Wireless Stereo (TWS) pairing, allowing two units to be connected for stereo sound.
Upon testing, the sound produced by the Select 4 Go was clear and free from static or hum. While the bass frequency isn’t particularly pronounced, likely due to its size, the volume is surprisingly loud for its dimensions and is easily audible outdoors, though this requires higher battery consumption.
The volume produced is surprisingly loud for its size, and is easily audible when outdoors, though it could only do so at full volume, which consumes more battery power. Also, if it is going to be used as part of a home sound system, it could be quite lacking.
The Bluetooth connection is stable and can reach up to about 5 meters, even through concrete walls, before breaking up. It connects easily with most phones, but the app may be necessary for older operating systems, which is a minor issue since the app is highly recommended for improved EQ customization.
Overall, the Soundcore Select 4 Go is a high-quality Bluetooth speaker for people on the go, offering excellent sound while remaining compact and lightweight. It is available in six color variants to match your equipment or gadgets.
The price is P1,295, and it comes with an 18-month warranty. Additionally, the soundcore.ph site has a promotional deal with BillEase for only P378 over three months.
