Review on πŸ”Š Anker Soundcore Icon Mini: Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker, Explosive Sound, High IP67 Water Resistance (Black) by James Vachon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great sleep solution

I sometimes have a hard time falling asleep and I've found listening to the Get Sleepy podcast helps me a lot. I tried a pair of Bluetooth headphones with a padded headband and found them to be annoying when moving around at night. Pillow speaker reviews were everywhere. Having had good experiences with other Anker products, I decided to give this one a try. I tucked it right into the edge of the pillowcase and it stayed in place well. It was small enough that I could keep it away from me but still hear it at low volume. The sound quality isn't the best at high volumes, but it's excellent for a small speaker at this price point. Auto sleep mode is useful for saving battery power. I can also imagine throwing it in my bag when I leave the house or tying it to my bike when I go for a walk. I've also used it on my desk to listen to podcasts while working from home. I have seen it come in very handy on a paddleboard, kayak or canoe for those who love music while paddling. (I prefer silence when I'm on the water). The charging port cover closes well. First impressions are that it's worth the price and is a versatile little speaker.

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
