SoundCore Boom 2 vs Boom (Patreon)

Although having potential to be one of the best compact portable boomboxes I had to return the Boom 2 as I couldn’t stand the sound issues up to half volume. Half of its volume range is unusable for more critical listening as the speaker plays something but not what was recorded with bass disappearing and coming back just by random. It’s ok for making some noise outdoors but after having tried them side by side I even think that the old Boom somehow has a more convincing bass response at high levels when adjusted with the app, which really surprised me a lot.

Most seem to not hear these issues or not care but for me this random bass is a no go in a speaker!
