Our Verdict

EarFun UBOOM L

Anker Soundcore Boom 2

The EarFun UBOOM L and the Anker Soundcore Boom 2 are both budget portable speakers. While the UBOOM has a lower retail price, the Anker offers a better price-to-performance ratio. They both have front-facing designs that limit their directivity, and they get equally loud, with similar degrees of compression at max volume. They're also similarly portable and well-built, though the Anker has a carrying handle to help you bring it around in one hand. The Anker has a more balanced sound profile and a much longer battery life, though, plus you can connect up to two devices simultaneously.
