    Portable Fun

    For such a small speaker this versatile Bluetooth speaker has a lot to like. Combined with the Soundcore app and Party cast this speaker offers more options and outperforms most other speakers in its class. The new light ring in this Pro model adds another level of fun to Bluetooth portable speakers. Pros: - Good sound quality for a speaker this size. The speaker output is via the top so the sound is top heavy versus other speakers that are side or bottom firing. -Light Ring adds fun to the music - Soundcore App offers total control and flexibility. One of the better Bluetooth speaker apps out there. - Water proof and very portable with a carry strap - Ability to Party Cast to 100 other speakers and it does Party Cast to other Soundcore models - Good speaker phone and microphone audio quality Cons: - Buttons on the side are hard to find. The control buttons are rubberized black icons on a black background which makes it tough to find them intuitively or in low light. Speaker: The speaker looks and feels solid. It has some weight but its round sides makes it easy to grasp . It’s too big to fit in a jean’s pocket but drops easily into the cargo pockets on my cargo pants. I’ve carried it around the house while doing projects. Using this speaker I can keep my phone safely tucked away from the action and set out the speaker so I can enjoy an audible book or music while I work. Since its water proof its the go-to speaker for a beach or pool day. It’s a great solution for adding music to the patio when the kids want to dance. The speaker provides good sound dispersion and provides a fair amount of bass with the bass boost on for a speaker this size. Because the speaker is top firing these are great to set on a table or even on the ground. The controls are on the sides towards the bottom and it is the only issue I have with this speaker. The power, volume down, multifunction, volume up and Bluetooth buttons are rubberized mechanical buttons that have icons molded over the button. They are extremely difficult to locate in low lighting and not the easiest to find even though the power button does have a small led light next to it. The rubberized coating is good for water proofing but it makes it more difficult to locate the buttons. This can really a problem if you are using the speaker as a speaker phone because the multipurpose button is the answer button. The audio quality and microphone quality are quite good as a speaker phone. The advertised battery life is 15 hours but I think the actual number of hours depends on the user and the use of the light ring, The speaker has a light ring that really make this speaker stand out. There are multiple light functions in the app to choose from and you can actually pick the colors to use in the rings. I also have a Soundcore Flare 2 and its fairly easy to have it and this Mini 3 Pro party cast together playing the same music. Soundcore App: This has to be one of the best apps for portable speakers. Its simple to understand and it offers great control over the speaker and light ring. The app has three main pages; Equalizer, Home and Light settings. The home page allows you to power off the speaker, check the battery level, play or pause the music and set the volume. The equalizer page has four preset equalizer settings as well as a custom preset that lets you fully customize the equalizer. You can also turn on the bass boost which really does make an impact on the sound quality. The light page has 5 preset lighting patterns. Within some of the patterns you can choose which colors to use which makes the light rings totally customizable to your taste.

    Great Bass, USB C, Waterproof Speaker

    I am increasingly amazed by how good Anker Soundcore audio equipment is, the sound is amazing. This is a small speaker (about 3" tall) but packs a strong pounding bass. On my desk at work, I can literally feel the bass vibrate. It's a rich, quality speaker on on par with brands that have a long history and legacy in the audio space. Pairing is straight forward. It's Bluetooth. There's no forced push of the app, but I recommend the Soundcore app. It's free, doesn't require registration to use, has a great user experience, and you can control the lights, tune the equalizer, etc. I didn't feel any need to tune the sound, it's perfectly balanced for my tastes and playback via Spotify was awesome. Soundcore rate the speaker for 15 hours playback. I have got 2 work days out of it, background audio all day, so the 14 hours feels right. It's also USB C powered! wohoo! It's also IPX7 rated which means you can submerge it underwater for 30minutes. Or if you want a speaker to use in the bathroom to listen to podcasts etc. then this is for you. As for the lights. I actually don't mind them. The light pattern can be customized using the Soundcore app. The lights are nice. You can turn them off. I keep it as a solid breathing color, which just makes the speaker interesting on your desk. Definitely recommend. I have no hesitation in recommending Soundcore to anyone. It would be my first choice for audio these days.

    I can’t think of any other portable Bluetooth speaker that comes anywhere near this little guy. I have a few Bluetooth speakers around my home, and some smart speakers as well. My portable speakers aren’t quite this small, which is what drew me to picking one of these up. I was blown away from the moment I started playing music on it. My initial impression when I took this speaker out of the box was, “Wow! This thing is tiny!” My second thought was "man it has some heft to it." This speaker has amazing build quality. It looks great, and the bottom third is covered in rubber. This is the area that has the controls and the charging port. Buttons are hard to see, but after a while, they are easy to feel out by touch. You can easily change volume, control music (play/pause, skip, etc.), and initialize Smart Assistant. There is also a way to connect up to 100 of these speakers together in what they call PartyCast Mode, but sadly I only have one at this time. I’m sure connecting 100 at once would be awesome! Where I was really blown away was when I started playing music. I really was not expecting how loud and rich the sound was from something so small. Again, I have Alexa Dots, HomePod Minis, and Google Home speakers around the house, so I was guessing the sound would be comparable to those since they were around the same size. This tiny speaker sounds so much better. You can adjust the EQ to different modes. You get 4 different preset modes, but you can also customize your EQ by toggling 9 different sound ranges. I left it on the default, Soundcore Signature, mode and think that sounds fantastic. I had thought I would just use this little speaker when I left the house and at work, but I have ended up just carrying it around the house as well. I prefer using this over any of my smart home speakers. I love the sound that comes out of this device. This is such an easy recommendation to anyone looking for an ultraportable speaker. Build quality is fantastic, IPX7 water proofing so you can use outside and by the pool, the sound is amazing and can be tweaked for your specific listening style. All of this paired up with a USB-C charging port, 15 hour long battery life, and a cost that is a fraction of most off the market, makes this speaker the one to beat in this category.

    Amazing mini speaker

    This is my second Anker Soundcore speaker, and I am amazed by this new Mini 3. The sound quality and the bass will blow you away from this small device. You can feel the bass, and astonishingly, sometimes it moves when the bass drops hard. It is tiny, just about four finders tall, the circumference is smaller than a soda can, and the overall size is ⅔ of a soda can. Simple esthetical design with all the basic buttons: power, minus/plus volume, Bluetooth, and the Soundcore play. It is a portable size and lightweight, fits perfectly in most places, like cup holders. It has a lanyard and using a carabiner, you can hang it anywhere. When working on my yard, I use a carabiner and clip the speaker to one of my pant’s belt loops. After a complete charge, it is a simple and instant connection/setup. I highly recommend using the Soundcore App for an enhanced experience and to perform a firmware update on the mini speaker. Using the app allows you to more control, like future firmware updates, customized sound and light, check battery level, adjust volume, and equalizer settings. What I like the most about the app is the LÜM music streaming service. LÜM is Soundcore’s official music streaming partner and is included with the app for free. It has a great selection of music from the various playlist; my favorite playlist is “House Party”. To conclude, this is quite loud and better on the bass than other small portable speakers. Great for jamming music anywhere you can play music, and with the water-resistance feature, you are free to do whatever you want to do with it.

    Surprisingly great sound in a small size

    ## Design The Soundcore Mini 3 Pro is about the size of a cup of coffee. The dimensions are 2.8 x 2.8 x 3.6 inches. The buttons are located towards the bottom of the speaker and can be a little difficult to see as the symbols are black on a black background, so you may find yourself holding the speaker up to a light in order to find the power button. There is an LED light ring on the top of the speaker, along with a very convenient carrying strap that is permanently attached to the speaker. This makes it easy to carry the speaker with you or hang it to something like a hook or tree branch. The round design of the speaker allows you to enjoy your music from any angle. ## Sound Quality The Soundcore Mini 3 Pro sounds surprisingly good given the small size! The mids and highs come through best, but when the speaker is sitting near a wall, it really kicks up the bass and enhances the lows nicely. The bass also sounds good sitting on a table or other flat surface. The bass decreases a little bit when you're carrying the speaker or hanging it up, but music still sounds great. If you find that the bass is too strong when it is sitting up against a wall, you can turn off the "BassUp" feature with the Soundcore app. Obviously, it's not going to sound as good as a much larger speaker, but it's more than adequate for personal listening at home or for a small group of friends having dinner on the deck, for example. I'm still surprised that this speaker is only 6 watts! ## Features - Carrying strap: I owned the original Soundcore Mini 1 speaker and bought a case for it that had a carrying strap so I could hang it from my backpack while hiking. I'm happy to see that the Soundcore Mini Pro 3 has a built-in carrying strap, so no additional accessory is needed to hang it! - Lighting modes: There are several lighting modes for the two LED light rings: Party Time, Phasing Beats, Bouncing Beats, Circle Beam, and Cool Breath. The lighting modes can be changed by using the Soundcore app. The app also gives you some additional options for the built-in animations, which are mainly just selecting different color options. You can also turn off the lights by quickly tapping the power button. - PartyCast: You can link this speaker up to 100 other Soundcore speakers with "PartyCast" technology, which is mainly limited to Soundcore's newer speakers. Please note that this is not True Wireless Stereo sound as all of the linked speakers will play the same thing (not one specific audio channel). To use PartyCast with other Soundcore PartyCast enable speakers: 1. First, pair one speaker to your phone as normal and leave it on and connected. This will be your "primary" speaker. 2. On this primary speaker, hold down the Bluetooth button for at least 2 seconds, until you hear two tones that sound like an echo. 3. Power on one of your "extra" Soundcore speakers. Hold down the Bluetooth button on it for 2 second until you hear the same two tones that sound like an echo. 4. On the "extra" speaker, DOUBLE TAP the Bluetooth button (don't hold it down this time). The extra speaker will then connect to your primary speaker and when you play music to the primary, you should hear it on the secondary speaker. - Water resistant: The Soundcore Mini Pro 3 has an IPX7 rating, which means it can be submerged in water (up to 3.3 feet) for up to 30 minutes, so it's safe to use pool-side. ## Battery Life The Mini Pro 3 can last up to 15 hours on a single charge with the lights off. The speaker can be recharged with a USB-C cable (which is included) and a powered USB port or charger (not included). ## Summary The Soundcore Mini 3 Pro is a great speaker with surprisingly good sound and bass, and a cool LED light ring. It is water resistant, has long battery life, and can be wirelessly connected with additional PartyCast speakers.

    This little mighty Soundcore Mini 3 Pro speaker can fill a room with sound even though it fits in the palm of your hand. The speaker itself has a very tough feeling build quality. I have no doubt that it can survive a fall from waist height. Anker claims that it is also water proof and dust proof and can survive a dunk in the pool. I didn't test that lol, but I did run it under the sink to clean off the dirt it picked up when I used it outside. It charges via usb C and battery life is great. I really like the cool RGB light ring on the top of it, it syncs to your music quite well and sets the mood for a lil get together or party. Sound quality is pretty impressive. I was expecting deeper bass, but considering it's no taller than an 8 oz can of soda, I'd say it sounds very good. Bass seems to sound better when you place the speaker on a surface that can resonate audio better. A table top for instance, or maybe onto of a hollow box. It get's pretty loud, but I found that the bass gets drowned out by Highs and Mids at max volume. Some speakers sound quality can get better after a "break in" period. So maybe after a few more hours of use, that will improve. But for its asking price, and size? I'd still say sound quality is excellent. I can't knock it. I plan on carrying this little guy with me to work and travel, You can turn off the light ring if it isn't your thing, It pairs quickly and easily with bluetooth and I didn't notice much audio latency when watching video with my phone. This little party animal is totally worth the money, especially if you just want a small rugged speaker to bring with you everywhere. It sounds great and looks very cool!

    This little speaker is great. Its quite loud and sounds really clear. Nice compact size fits into cupholders nicely, so if you're on the water in a kayak or other boat, you can have your speaker secured The app is really cool because you can control the equalizer, light patterns, etc. I think the best part about this speaker is the versatility of the Soundcore line.. you can link up more speakers than you'd ever need even if they're different variations. In my case i have this mini pro 3 and the flare 2. i can set one up as the primary and the other as my secondary. If i pick up more of either kind, i can also add them to the chain to have music scattered throughout my area. super handy if you're boating in a pack, everyone can have a speaker and one person controlling the music. This is a feature lacking on other brands, many which require you to have the exact same model.

    The Anker Souncore Mini 3 Pro is a dynamic sounding speaker, and fun little device to carry around. I was extremely impressed by a deep bass sound. The speaker vibrated in my hand as I played music which was a good surprise. Furthermore, my customizations to the sound through the Soundcore app immediately reflected in the speaker as I made my selections. The RGB lights are dazzling and sure to be a hit at any function. Setup was easy and execution was flawless. The waterproof functionality worked well, and the product has a lengthy battery life. I have no complaints. I was very satisfied with how this product performed.

    Small and So Much Fun

    The Anker - Soundcore Mini 3 Pro Portable Bluetooth Speaker in black is so much fun. Although I am 62 and pretty much past spontaneous partying, this hand sized speaker is really great. What is not to like. On a full charge this speaker will run for 15 hours, it is waterproof, vibrant with circulating colors to follow the beat of either the music playing or the voice sound of talk radio, and easily links to my devices when seeking Bluetooth signal. When I ordered this I first thought that I would Bluetooth tunes from my phone to this speaker and put it in the cup holder of my riding JD lawn tractor. And while that is still an option, However, I decided to use it in my shower and rock out to my favorite 70's disco and 80's music, the musical sounds from my teenage and early twenties. This speaker is so affordable at $39.99, so easy to transport, so easy to use, and most importantly, so much fun, it is even able to be linked to more of the same speakers for a fabulous sound and light show.

    This is a great little speaker for the price. I bought to use outside and in the garage due to its dust resistance and being essentially water proof. It also has a great battery life!Very easy to pair and operate and it works well with the Soundcore app. The light on top is a fun little extra feature. Unexpectedly good bass for the speaker size and overall sound quality is excellent and can be adjusted in the app equalizer. The speaker is upward firing and seems to keep the music contained to the area without bothering neighbors but it does seem to diminish the bass depth further away from it. I do wish the onboard control buttons were more raised so they were easier to feel and differentiate. Overall, I love this little speaker and it's been great to use for the first month or so I've had it.
