In some songs thereās a strange pumping effect; low notes go to high notes really suddenly and its quite distracting. Im assuming this is due to an aggressive limiter or am I the only one with this problem?
Soundcore 2 strange pumping in some songs?
Canāt say Iāve noticed anything myself. Could you post a video showing the issue?
I dont think it can translate well on video as i dont have a good microphone. The issue is noticeable however
I heard the anker select doesnt have this issue though. I wonder if anker will be able to replace my 2 with a selectā¦even though i bought it off amazon uk
The SoundCore 2 / Select are the same speaker, just a mix up with the model names. It might be best if you reach out to support@anker.com to assist further and replace your speaker, if needed.
They are the same speaker but I heard the select has a better limiter therefore this issue doesnt exist on the select
As far as I am aware they have the same internal hardware, just external branding on a few models was listed as select. Perhaps @AnkerOfficial can confirm this?
Hi @sound_guy, I just pass your problem with anker support team, they will contact you soon by email to solve your issue. As @ndalby said, they are almost the same speakers. But Soundcore select will only focus on offline market. If you still have some questions, you can also reach out to support@anker.com to request more help. 
Does that mean the speakers are the same but in the shops they are Select and online they are SoundCore 2ās? Seems a tad confusingā¦
They are almost same, but select has NFC function while Soundcore 2 hasnāt.
Iāve must have looked at several reviews of the SoundCore 2 and each time I missed that when comparing to the initial Select release 
Any particular reason why it was dropped?
Time for more 
There hasnāt been an email sent to me yetā¦
Hey, my colleague is writing email now! Thanks for your patience! 
Thanks man!
I just bought two Anker Soundcore 2. One for me and one for my parents. Iām having the same problem on both of them. Sound jumping up and down. Itās like thereās some kind of ālimiterā that lowers the volume when it gets to high, and then raises it when it gets to low. And it doesnāt matter if I play it on 3/15 volume or 10/15. Itās really making it impossible for me to listen to any music actually. I would love to make a recording and send to you somehow. Please email me at [mod edit: removed personal info]. I got the Ankers of Amazon.co.uk.
Hi @Marcus_Malmsten,
Would you please email your Amazon order number to support@anker.com with a description of your issue and the sound file? They will be happy to assist you with this! Thank you!
Done and done!

You are not alone Marcus! I wonder if thereās a faulty batch or somethingā¦ My second anker soundcore 2 still has the audio fluctuation issue
Good to hear Iām not the only one! I decided between the Boost and the Soundcore 2 and landed on the Soundcore due to the battery life. Wouldnāt mind changing to the Boost, just as long as the problems doesnāt affect the Boost too!
