Select 4 Go Bluetooth Shower Speaker by Anker, IP67

We used this speaker on the beach. It is compact and very easy to carry. With a carabineer it attached to the beach bag. The sound was good and it lasted in the sand and surf. I can not to speak to longevity as I have only had it 3 weeks. Battery seemed to last and it was easy to connect to my android device.

I got this for carrying when I’m going out and about. I also occasionally use this in bear country to let the bears know where I am when I’m in one spot for a while. It gets loud enough to enjoy from a small distance, it doesn’t lose sound quality going up in volume like cheap speakers do. It charges quickly and lasts a long time. I’ve had cheap low quality ones and this one is the best quality for the price I have ever had. Super easy to connect to your phone via Bluetooth or a cable.

OverviewI recently purchased the Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go in black, and after spending some time with it, I’m ready to share my thoughts. This compact Bluetooth speaker, priced around $24.99–$30, promises portability, durability, and solid sound for its budget-friendly price point. As someone who wanted a reliable speaker for casual outdoor use and shower tunes, here’s how it performed.Design and BuildThe Select 4 Go is sleek and understated in black, with a matte finish that feels sturdy and resists fingerprints. At just 9.3 ounces, it’s light enough to toss in a backpack, and the included carry loop is a thoughtful touch—I clipped it to my bag for a hike, and it stayed secure. The IP67 rating is a standout: it’s dustproof, waterproof, and even floats. I tested it in the shower, and it handled water exposure like a champ, with no impact on performance. The compact size (slightly larger than a JBL Go 4) makes it easy to carry, though it’s not quite pocket-sized.Sound QualityFor a 5W mono speaker, the sound is impressively clear. The 1.75" full-range driver delivers crisp mids and treble, making it great for podcasts, acoustic tracks, and casual pop music. I played a mix of genres, from folk to EDM, and found the sound balanced for its size, though bass is understandably limited—don’t expect deep thumps for bass-heavy tracks like hip-hop. At higher volumes (around 80%), it stays clear with minimal distortion, outshining some pricier competitors like the JBL Go 4 in loudness. The Soundcore app’s 9-band EQ was a pleasant surprise, letting me tweak the sound to boost bass slightly or enhance vocals for podcasts. I also paired two units in TWS mode for stereo sound, which made movie watching on my tablet feel more immersive.Battery LifeAnker claims up to 20 hours of playback, and it delivers. At around 40–50% volume, I got close to 18 hours during a weekend camping trip, which is significantly better than the JBL Clip 5 (12 hours) or Go 4 (7 hours). Charging via USB-C takes about 4.5 hours, which is reasonable, though I wish it was a bit faster. It’s perfect for long outings without needing a recharge.Features and ConnectivityBluetooth 5.4 offers a stable connection up to 30 meters, and I had no dropouts even when moving around my apartment or yard. The app is intuitive, with preset and custom EQ options, but there’s no microphone, so voice assistant fans might be disappointed. It also lacks Anker’s PartyCast feature, which isn’t a dealbreaker for solo use. The single-button control scheme is simple but takes some getting used to for skipping tracks or adjusting volume.Value and DrawbacksAt its price, the Select 4 Go is a steal. It matches or beats competitors like the JBL Go 4 in sound clarity, volume, and battery life while costing less. The 24-month warranty adds peace of mind. However, the bass is modest, so it’s not ideal for bass-heavy genres or large gatherings. The lack of a built-in mic and slightly bulky size compared to ultra-compact rivals are minor gripes.VerdictThe Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go in black is a fantastic budget speaker for anyone needing a durable, portable option for outdoor adventures, showers, or casual listening. Its long battery life, clear sound, and app customization make it a standout in the sub-$30 category. If you’re after deep bass or voice assistant support, look elsewhere, but for versatility and value, it’s hard to beat. I’d recommend it to anyone seeking a reliable, no-frills speaker that punches above its price.

Fantastic little speaker for a great price. I love Anker Soundcore stuff (have their sport earbuds from years ago) and this was a great buy for the shower. Loud as hell for such a little package (too loud for an apartment shower sometimes if my downstairs neighbor is to be believed) and sounds wonderful. Also, I have not had to recharge it for a month of uses about every other day in the shower for 20-30 minutes.And it does hold up to getting wet though it can sound muted with too much water on it.I also like the color ways it comes in. I got the purple and gold. Go Vikes!Worth the money imo

I use mine in the shower, prior to this I had an older version of the wheeling style from Vincent. Pros: Look is good and colors are nice. Connects to phone supper easy. Sound is good, decent base but not so heavy it is only usable at parties. The sound is rich enough to enjoy, plus the volume is responsive that small incriminates work. Battery life for a shower use is insane. Its heavier than the wheel style so I hang it on the shower ring which works great. Cons: No extra controls, no fwd/bck controls. The controls could be raised or illuminated. Final: I was on the edge of sending it back, after two uses it was a keeper. The lack of fwd/back was missed, but the simplicity seems to work.

This is a fantastic little speaker. The sound is surprisingly good for such a small speaker. It connects to the Bluetooth on my phone effortlessly. I fully charged it 6 days ago, and it’s still 100% charged according to the battery widget on my phone. I have some hearing loss and it’s gradually getting worse. I like to listen to audiobooks while I fall asleep at night, and my phone speaker was becoming more difficult to hear, since I can’t wear my hearing aids to bed. I hung this little speaker on my headboard, and it works perfectly! It would be perfect travel, parties, or anywhere you need a small speaker. You can adjust the volume on your phone or on the speaker. It’s a great price for an and good value.

I’m very impressed with the Soundcore Select 4 Go by Anker. Despite its compact size, it delivers clear and powerful sound with good bass. The Bluetooth connection is fast and reliable, and the battery life is excellent for everyday use. It’s also lightweight and easy to carry, making it perfect for home, outdoor activities, or travel. Overall, a great speaker with excellent quality and value for the price.

Sound is clear and it had a really long battery life--I honestly don't remember the last time I charged it. Synced with my Android no problem. Very minimalist, clear, and user-friendly. I live that it's waterproof! I'll always love Anker--another great product

Amazing little desktop setup with two of these. The automatic stereo pairing works flawless and is a great worry free audio solution!

Piccola ma davvero sorprendente! La Soundcore Select 4 Go ha dimensioni compatte, è leggera e comodissima da portare ovunque. Il suono è molto buono considerando le dimensioni e il volume è più che sufficiente per ascoltare musica in casa, in viaggio o all’aperto. La batteria dura a lungo e il collegamento Bluetooth è semplice e stabile. Il colore blu è anche molto carino. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, sono molto soddisfatta dell’acquisto.

Fantastic product. Great value for money. Sound is amazing, my 20 year old son keeps taking it

Great speaker for personal listening and one of the best for podcasts. Given the 9-band EQ, you can make it sound very solid for a small speaker.

Increíble!!! ✅✅Tengo varios altavoces bluetooht (JBL flip 6, BOSE soundlink flex 2, BOSE micro 2) y la calidad de audio que tiene este pequeño es BRUUTAL!!Tiene un volumen máximo muy alto y sin ningún tipo de distorsión. tiene una amplitud, una separación de instrumentos que me quede boquiabierto, incluso me atrevo a decir que mejor que los altavoces anteriormente mencionados.El tema de bajos no se queda atrás, se sienten y tiene mucho cuerpo, y sabiendo que es un ULTRAPORTATIL llena una habitación sin problema lo cual es una locura dado su precioSi lo comparo con el Bosé micro 2 lo único que gana este es es los bajos que son más profundos( aquí Bosé son expertos) pero en volumen, amplitud y el sentir de la música, se disfruta más en este pequeño.Por otro lado la APP de la marca es sobresaliente. Tiene un eq de 9 bandas por lo que es completamente personalizable al modo que quieres escuchar, pero ya por defecto tiene el sonido signature que suena espectacular.Realmente es increíble lo pequeño que es y lo que suena. Se ha convertido en mi altavoz favorito. Es muy divertido escuchar música en él dado su tamaño y su increíble calidad precio.
