This speaker Exceeded my expectations, and being a SoundCore collector, they were pretty High. I have a lot of bluetooth speakers, including a few from Soundcore, including the MotionBoom Plus and Motion 300. While the Motion 300 is still my all-round favorite for it's sound and portability, this Select 4 Go is much smaller and lighter weight, and holds it's own very well in the sound quality and loudness departments. I highly recommend using the app because, for me, most music sounds better on this speaker with the bass boosted. In fact, this is the first SoundCore speaker, or headphones for that matter, that I actually like the bass boost turned on most of the time. The others tend to sound muddy with it, and suppress the treble too much. Even with the bass boosted, the Select 4 Go keeps nice, crisp highs and warm, clean midrange. I'm hoping that Soundcore adds more EQ options, as they typically have for new offerings in the past, because I think this speaker is capable of more than the current 4 settings are allowing it to do.
I only have one of these speakers and have tested it in several environments. I currently use the Motion 300 as my shower speaker and it sounds amazing with it's high fidelity stereo sound, but the Motion 4 Go would serve very well for this, too, and I have to think that a pair of them set up with True Wireless Stereo would probably win me over, if it weren't for the fact that the Motion 400 just fits perfectly in my shower's unused soap holder nook, and turning one speaker on instead of two is just more convenient. That being said, if I didn't already have the Motion 300, I'd probably opt to save a few dollars and get two of these little guys, instead, since two of these cost less than one of the Motion 300's. (Remember, that's my favorite portable speaker I'm talking about) Then again, if I was made of money, I'd just get two of the Motiom 300's and preemptively make an appointment for a hearing aid fitting.
I've also used the Select 4 Go in my office at work, which is rather large since it's a control room that accommodates up to 6 technologists at a time and also holds a lot of equipment. Alone, this speaker filled the room with sound better than most of the bluetooth speaker PAIRS that I pitted it against in this scenario. Yes, they were cheaper speaker pairs, but they'd been happily used for the task in the past, and were simply outperfomed by this lone but mighty little guy. Again, I have to think that two would be more than ample for casual or small gathering listening in a medium sized room.
I've also compared this with quite a few similarly sized items from other companies like JBL and Bose, and I have to say that, in my opinion, the Soundcore sounds about the same or slightly better than those, but with a much nicer price tag.
I've had no problems with connectivity, so far, and setup is a breeze. If you're looking for a small, lightweight, rugged speaker that can actually pump out great sound without breaking your wallet, this is the way to go. I am consider ordering a second one to pair them in stereo, and will update if I do.

Great Shower Speaker
Great little speaker! Itâs got some serious volume and bass, unlike many speakers of its size. I use mine primarily as a shower speaker, so as far as most physical durability factors are concerned, I have little input, but as far as being highly resistant to water itâs incredibly durable. I take steaming hot showers and sometimes for an hour or more, and itâs in there with me right above where the steam goes and itâs had no issues with it at all, and thatâs over a full month period. Battery life is also incredibly good, Iâve only had to charge it once so far! Control buttons is my only real nitpick. They take a good bit to press, and while itâs one click to turn it on, you have to hold down the power button for a few seconds to turn it off which can get a little annoying but overall not a deal breaker. In all honesty, Iâd definitely recommend this speaker to anyone whoâs looking for this kind of speaker. Robust, good in high humidity and getting wet, and great sound quality and volume. I have occasionally noticed that if Iâm using it and watching a YouTube video it sometimes is a bit off to a noticeable extent (the sound playing about a half second later than the video), but that could be caused by any number of factors that I canât diagnose to say âitâs for sure the speakerâ or âitâs for sure not the speaker.â Both are equally likely, and with how well rounded and itâs quality, Iâd still recommend it even if it was the speakerâs fault.

Great little speaker!
This is an excellent little speaker. Very clear and distinct sound separation for the money. Big sound footprint for the size. Got this to travel with as I get earbud fatigue after awhile. Easy Bluetooth connectivity to my iPhone. Get this, you wonât regret it!

Perfect Gift for Everyday Listening: Loud, Waterproof & Easy to Use.
I purchased this speaker as a gift for my mom, and it has honestly been one of the most successful gifts Iâve given her.She listens to YouTube channels throughout the day and had often mentioned that she couldnât hear her livestreams clearly while showering, washing dishes, or doing louder chores around the house. I suggested headphones at one point, but sheâs not a fan â and they wouldnât have worked well in the shower anyway. So I decided to try this waterproof speaker, and it turned out to be the perfect solution.The Bluetooth pairing process was very simple. My mom isnât particularly tech-savvy and didnât know how to pair it at first, but once I showed her how easy it was, she had it connected in no time. Now she carries it all over the house without any issues.She tells me that the battery life is great and the item is small and light enough to carry around with ease. The sound is impressively powerful for its size. She can vacuum and still clearly hear her YouTube lives, which says a lot. The build feels solid and durable, and the waterproof feature makes it ideal for bathrooms and kitchen use. It also comes in cute colors, which makes it feel gift-worthy.If I had one small suggestion for improvement, it would be to make the hanging strap just a bit longer for added convenience. Other than that, itâs been a fantastic purchase.Overall, I highly recommend this speaker â especially as a practical and thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys listening throughout the day.

Great budget speaker!
Very nice! Great volume and sound quality for the size. Has better sound at mid-range than other budget speakers. Great choice for your phone speaker. Looks good, like the shape.Has 2 orientations and it’s a little unstable standing upright.

A lot of speaker, not a lot of cost
I bought this to have a speaker in my shower. It connected quickly and works well. I was blown away at the sound. You get an amazing sounding speaker for the price and I feel it punches well above its weight in that. So far, battery life has been great. Iâve only charged it once. Get it while itâs on sale and itâs a no brainer for a good speaker on the go.

Compré este altavoz aprovechando una oferta y, por su precio, cumple muy bien.Es ligero y compacto, fácil de llevar, y ofrece un sonido correcto con suficiente potencia para el dÃa a dÃa. La baterÃa dura bastante y cuenta con resistencia al agua y al polvo (IP67). Además, flota, lo que da tranquilidad si se usa en piscina o cerca del agua.También se puede conectar con otro altavoz igual para mejorar el sonido.En resumen, es una opción muy competitiva: sencilla, práctica y equilibrada en todo.
