As its name suggests, it's designed to keep the beat with deep bass powered by an impressive 140-watt output, thanks to the Bass Up 2.0 bass booster.
The passive radiator sides add to the party atmosphere with multi-colored lights that sync with the music.
The Soundcore Boom 2 Plus is the Boom 2's robust successor.Both feature a boombox design, but the Boom 2 Plus is significantly larger, measuring 17.4 inches long compared to the Boom 2's 11.7 inches and weighing 8.4 pounds versus 3.7 pounds. With the increased size comes increased power, the new model is almost twice as powerful as the Boom 2 which maxes out at 80 watts.
Only JBL's $500 Boombox 3 surpasses the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus with a 180-watt output, but it must be plugged in to achieve that level of power. On battery, it maxes out at 136 watts.
Designed as a party machine, the Boom 2 Plus features LED light/side panel passive radiators that vibrate, flash, and change colors in sync with the music. Whether at the beach, poolside, or indoors, the Boom 2 Plus is built to amplify the music and command attention.
During testing, the line "Nobody puts Baby (the Boom 2 Plus) in the corner," from the movie Dirty Dancing, kept coming to mind.
Other outdoor speakers in this price range include the Sony XG300 ($350, on sale for $200), which can be splashed with water but doesn't float like the Boom 2 Plus. It can handle soft ballads slightly better but doesn't have the bass presence of the Boom 2 Plus. Altec Lansing's Rockbox XL 2.0 has a 120-watt output, a light show, and can float, coming the closest to Soundcore's speaker. The Rockbox and the Sony both have microphones, so those speakers can be used as a speakerphone or accept Google and Siri voice commands to control playback.

The Big Clean
Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner
When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need. I had already placed a smart speaker on an étagère beside the space where I had planned to put the chair. I'd have a smartphone in my hand and the room would be bathed in Wi-Fi.
