Soundcore Boom 2 SE Portable Bluetooth Speaker Black 30W with IPX7 Floating Design, 18-Hour Battery, PartyCast 2.0 and USB Power Out

The Soundcore Boom 2 SE is the speaker you take to the beach without thinking about it. It is IPX7 waterproof and it floats, which is the combination that actually matters near water, because a speaker that survives being submerged is useless if it sinks to the bottom of a pool. 30W of output, 18 hours of battery and a USB port that charges your phone round it out. We stock it in the UAE with a one-year Totot warranty.

Soundcore Boom 2 SE waterproofing: what IPX7 and floating each mean

IPX7 is a defined standard, not a marketing word. It means the unit survives immersion in one metre of fresh water for thirty minutes. Dropping the Soundcore Boom 2 SE in a pool is a recoverable accident rather than a dead speaker.

Floating is the half people forget. Plenty of speakers are rated IPX7 and then sink, which turns a thirty-minute survival rating into a diving exercise. The Soundcore Boom 2 SE floats, so it bobs on the surface and you pick it up.

Two honest limits on that rating. IPX7 is specified for fresh water, and sea water and chlorinated pool water are harsher; rinse the speaker with tap water after a beach day rather than leaving salt to dry in the grilles. And the rating covers immersion, not pressure, so it is not a diving speaker.

Soundcore Boom 2 SE sound: 30W from two drivers

Soundcore publishes 30W for the Soundcore Boom 2 SE of output from two built-in full-range drivers. Full-range means each driver handles the whole frequency band rather than splitting bass and treble between a woofer and a tweeter. On a speaker this size that is the sensible engineering choice, because a crossover costs space that a small cabinet does not have.

The honest expectation to set is this: 30W in a portable speaker fills a hotel room, a balcony or a patch of beach around you. It does not fill a garden party, and no speaker at this price and size does. If you need to cover a large outdoor space, you are shopping in the wrong category.

BassUp is soundcore’s bass enhancement mode, and it is worth knowing that the quoted battery figure assumes it is switched off. With BassUp running you get more low end and less playtime, which is a fair trade and one you should make knowingly.

Soundcore Boom 2 SE battery, charging and the USB output

Soundcore quotes up to 18 hours for the Soundcore Boom 2 SE of playtime at 50 percent volume with BassUp off. Read both conditions, because every speaker manufacturer quotes battery this way and most listings drop the qualifiers. At high volume with BassUp on, expect meaningfully less.

Recharging takes around four hours with a certified 5V 3A, 15W wall charger. That charger is not in the box, and neither is any other, so if you do not have a 15W USB-C charger spare, add one to your order or the first charge will be slower than it needs to be.

The Soundcore Boom 2 SE also gives power back out. There is a USB-A port with 5W of output, enough to put a useful amount of charge into a phone. On a long day out that turns the speaker into a small power bank, which is a genuinely practical feature rather than a spec-sheet filler.

Soundcore Boom 2 SE connectivity: Bluetooth 5.3, TWS and PartyCast 2.0

Bluetooth 5.3 is the current generation and brings better connection stability and lower power draw than 5.0. In practice that shows up as fewer dropouts when your phone is in a pocket on the far side of a pool.

TWS pairing links two Soundcore Boom 2 SE units into a proper stereo pair, one left and one right. PartyCast 2.0 goes further and links a larger group of compatible soundcore speakers playing in sync. If you already own a soundcore speaker, check it supports PartyCast 2.0 specifically, because the earlier version does not interoperate with the new one.

The Soundcore Boom 2 SE has a built-in microphone, so it takes calls. It does not have an AUX jack, and soundcore states that plainly. If you need a 3.5 mm input for an old device or a DJ controller, this is not the speaker for you.

Who the Soundcore Boom 2 SE is not for

Not for anyone who needs a wired input. There is no AUX jack at all, only Bluetooth.

Not for filling a large outdoor space. 30W is a personal and small-group speaker. A villa garden or a party of twenty needs a different class of product, such as the Boom 2 Plus.

Not for anyone expecting a charger in the box. Soundcore includes a 60 cm USB-C to C cable and a quick start guide, and states that the wall charger is not included.

Not for diving or high-pressure water. IPX7 is an immersion rating to one metre for thirty minutes in fresh water, not a pressure rating.

And if exact size and weight are decisive for you, note that soundcore does not publish dimensions or weight for this model. We can measure a unit from stock if you ask before ordering.

Buying the Soundcore Boom 2 SE in the UAE

A floating IPX7 speaker makes more sense here than in most countries. Between pools, the beach and six months of outdoor season, a speaker that shrugs off water and sand is not a luxury feature.

We ship across the Emirates including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman from locally held stock, so delivery takes days. Units are genuine Anker soundcore retail items in sealed packaging, and firmware updates come through the soundcore app.

Warranty is one year from Totot against manufacturing defects. The Soundcore Boom 2 SE product title carries no TDRA registration, so no separate agent warranty applies to it, and we prefer to state that clearly. Our 14-day return policy covers defective or non-conforming items.

FAQ

Does the Soundcore Boom 2 SE float?

Yes. Soundcore rates it IPX7 and states that it floats, so it stays on the surface of a pool rather than sinking.

How long does the battery last?

Up to 18 hours, measured at 50 percent volume with BassUp switched off. Louder playback and BassUp both reduce that.

Is a charger included?

No. The box has a 60 cm USB-C to USB-C cable and a quick start guide. Soundcore states the wall charger is not included, and full charging takes about 4 hours with a 15W charger.

Can I charge my phone from it?

Yes. There is a USB-A port with 5W output for topping up a phone.

Does it have an AUX input?

No. Soundcore confirms there is no AUX jack, so it is Bluetooth only.

Can I pair two of them?

Yes, as a TWS stereo pair. It also supports PartyCast 2.0 for linking more compatible soundcore speakers, but check your other speaker supports PartyCast 2.0 rather than the earlier version.

What Bluetooth version is it?

5.3, which is the current generation and gives a steadier connection than 5.0.

How powerful is it?

30W from two full-range drivers. That fills a room, a balcony or a spot on the beach. It will not cover a large garden party.

What are its dimensions and weight?

Soundcore does not publish them for this model, so we will not quote a figure. Ask before ordering and we will measure a unit from stock.

Can I take it in the sea?

Yes, but rinse it with tap water afterwards. The IPX7 rating is specified for fresh water, and salt left to dry in the grilles is harder on a speaker than the immersion itself.
