This Pool-Friendly Soundcore Speaker Is Now 35% Off.
On Woot, the Soundcore Rave Neo 2 speaker is priced at $84.99, while on Amazon , the same model costs around $119. Standard shipping is free for Prime members , and $6 for everyone else. The sale is expected to last for the next ten days unless the speaker sells out sooner.
The built-in handle makes it easy to move the speaker from the patio to the garage or to the pool, and the IPX7 rating means you don’t have to worry about splashes or even brief submersion—it’s also floating, making it much easier to carry to the pool. The battery should last most days, with Soundcore estimating up to 18 hours of playback, though I suspect the actual time will depend on volume and whether the RGB lighting is enabled. Still, it’ll comfortably last all day and into the evening without recharging.
It’s also loud enough for a small outdoor party, and the extra bass gives dance tracks and pop more punch than smaller portable speakers—and the companion app provides access to equalizer settings if you want to tweak the sound. However, the bass reportedly starts to compress as the volume is maxed out, so cranking it up to the max can make the sound less controlled. The front-facing design also means the sound is strongest when you’re sitting in front of the speaker, rather than evenly distributed across a group of people. While the IPX7 rating provides water resistance, it doesn’t offer dust protection, so it’s not the most reliable choice for trips to a sandy beach. The app also requires an account to access all features, as noted in this PCMag review .
