Anker's sub-brand, Soundcore, has launched the Select 4 Go portable Bluetooth speaker (model A31X1), making it an excellent choice for music lovers who want to listen on the move without spending a lot. It features a 1.75" full-range driver that delivers 5W audio output in a compact form. The speaker promises up to 20 hours of playtime.
Connectivity and Durability
For connectivity, it utilizes Bluetooth 5.4 with a range of 30 meters and supports true wireless stereo pairing. This allows users to connect two compatible speakers for a stereo sound experience, where one plays the left audio channel and the other plays the right. With an IP67 rating, this speaker is both dustproof and water-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor activities. Additionally, it includes a customizable equalizer, enabling users to adjust the sound to their liking.
Performance and Warranty
Soundcore asserts that the Select 4 Go can handle continuous playback for five days at 40°C without any drop in performance. The battery is said to retain 95% of its performance even after 300 cycles, and the buttons are rated for up to 3,000 presses. For added assurance, the speaker also comes with a 24-month warranty.
Pricing and Availability
The Soundcore Select 4 Go is priced at $24.99 in the US on Amazon, £22.49 in the UK (with a 10% discount voucher), and $33.99 in Canada. It is currently offered in blue, black, and white, with additional colors expected soon, including purple and green, as seen in some promotional materials on Amazon.
In the package, customers will find the Select 4 Go speaker, a 60 cm USB-A to C cable, and a quick start guide—all great additions for the price. Its compact dimensions (12.08 x 8.27 x 4.85 cm) and lightweight design (265g) are attractive for travelers. However, those seeking louder sound may prefer the Soundcore Select 2S, which is larger and heavier, priced at $39.99 on Amazon.
