If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. Soundcore has launched another ultralight wireless speaker called the Select 4 Go. It’s , making it the most affordable option in Soundcore’s current lineup of Bluetooth speakers and much cheaper than similarly sized options such as .
The Select 4 Go pairs a 1.75-inch 5W full-range speaker driver with a passive radiator to help bolster the intensity of lower frequencies. That’s only a slightly smaller speaker than you’ll find inside the pricier , which has a claimed 12 hours of battery life.
the Select 4 Go has up to 20 hours of playtime on a full charge with the volume set at 40 percent and when using its standard EQ mode. It has a waterproof IPX67 rating and will even float when used in a pool, but Soundcore warns that you’ll want to make sure the waterproof cover for its USB-C charging port is tightly secured before using the speaker near water. The Bluetooth range is rated at 30 meters, and two of the Select 4 Go speakers can be paired to produce stereo sound.
Other Soundcore products, including the even lighter $40.99 , allow for over 100 speakers to be paired and all play in sync at the same time. If that’s an important feature to you, you’ll need to spend a bit more.
We haven’t tested the speaker and can’t vouch for its sound quality, but for $24.99, you’re going to get what you pay for: a durable wireless speaker that should at least sound better than playing music through your smartphone’s speaker. The Soundcore Select 4 Go is available now in two-tone black or blue, but six different colors will be available eventually, including purple and green.
