Anker Soundcore Boom 2 vs Earfun UBoom X: battle of the budget Bluetooth party speaker
Jan 18, 2025
Which speaker is the Boom-iest?
The Anker Soundcore Boom 2 serves up solid bass levels and impressive volume given its low price, but it may fall short if you’re seeking out a well-rounded, detailed listening experience.
For
Bass packs a punch
Well-priced for a powerful speaker
Pretty light for its size
Against
Mids and highs can lack clarity
Bass is overbearing at times
No dustproof rating
The Earfun UBoom X is a Bluetooth speaker that packs some serious low-end power, with tons of customizability and battery life. It won’t wow with rich mids or crisp highs, but for a party speaker, it hits the right notes where it matters most.
For
Ground-shaking bass
Temptingly low price tag
Highly customizable sound
Against
Mids and treble not ultra-crisp
No ‘hi-res’ audio codecs
Slightly cheap-looking
Anker Soundcore Boom 2 vs Earfun UBoom X: Price and release date
The Anker Soundcore Boom 2 is a low-priced option if you’re looking for a larger Bluetooth speaker. It launched in March 2024 with an already low list price of $129.99 / £119.99 / AU$219.99, but I’ve already spotted it going for much less. On Amazon, I’ve seen the Soundcore Boom 2 available for less than $90 / £80 / AU$170 – that’s very strong value.
Meanwhile, the Earfun UBoom X released a little later, specifically in October 2024. It initially had an asking price of $189.99 / £189.99 (around AU$280), but again, it shouldn't cost you so much if you’re savvy with sales. I’ve seen the UBoom X for as little as $159.99 / £112.49 (around AU$250). So, even on sale it will likely set you back a bit further than the Boom 2, but it is a touch larger and has a better battery life that competes with the best Bluetooth speakers – but we’ll get onto all of that shortly.
