It sounds great. It has great clarity and great bass for its size. I had a JBL Charge 5, which is an upwards of $140. The Boom 2 sounded more full with less distortion. I did observe a slight loss in clarity, but I brought it back by boosting the treble in the EQ. I use it with the Bass boost option on. Now that it's $70, the amount of sound you get is crazy good

As an iPhone user playing AAC files, I was thinking I would want a Bluetooth speaker that uses an AAC CODEC. Is that true? Would I have degraded sound quality in this use case by using SBC instead of AAC? Or would it sound the same?
Thanks for any advice on this.
It has good loud volume & thumping bass for the price. I say better than JBL Flip 6 and at least par with the JBL CHARGE 6 for half the price with current sale.
EQ is adjustable and bass boost can be turned on & off. Battery probably lasts ~15-18hrs on average with bass on & volume at about 60%.

Relative to the size, the volume levels with minimal distortion were quite impressive for such a small enclosure. The main reason I returned all of my Anker speakers was the lack of bass below ~60Hz; pretty steep rolloff below that point, but for most people this speaker will probably rate "spectacular". Really, for the price and size, Anker really did knock it out of the park with this model.
If instead you really want that deep end on your acoustic bass, or rap, edm, etc, this is not the speaker for you. That isn't much of a knock against the Boom 2 as practically nothing in this size category is capable of much volume in the low end. Huge output below ~60Hz requires surface area to move substantial air, and frequencies that low have long wavelengths; the limits of physics are the problem. For deep bass you need something like a Tribit Stormbox Blast, JBL's Boombox 3, Partybox 120, etc.
Edit: oh yeah, almost forgot. Dig this review of the speaker-

Alan Ross is a bit ridiculous and goes on and on with his babbling, BUT he does typically post RTA graphs and other useful info regarding speakers he tests, along with changes in sound when manufacturers update their firmware. Quite useful if you like to customize your own EQ curves.
I put on a high quality stream of The Who's "Eminence Front" which is a good reference song, and the bass and treble sounded OK, but a bit flat and dull. Even when I tweaked the custom EQ and cycled the bass boost on or off.
It's not terrible, but it doesn't sound anywhere near as good as my Soundcore X600---granted, that's a more expensive speaker and my ear is definitely biased toward the X600.
All that said, it is a pretty good buy at $70.
