Unboxing of the four co-branded Soundcore Marvel products | Superhero image upper body shows fan love!
At present, the most rammed joint IP on the market, Marvel Marvel, which started with superhero comics, is definitely among the best! Anker's headphone brand Soundcore launched a series of Marvel licensed products in Taiwan this month. The superheroes you are familiar with - Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, will jump to the four best-selling products of Soundcore this year with their respective images, including Bluetooth speakers Select 2, Mini 3 Pro, and true wireless earphones Air 2 Pro and Life P3. This time, JB also borrowed a total of 12 products from the Soundcore Marvel co-branded series to actually open the box for everyone to see. Except for the Life P3 that I tested in October, I also briefly introduced the other three products.

Select 2 Bluetooth Speaker
The first thing I saw is the Bluetooth speaker Select 2. The biggest difference between the B3J-1200 and the general version, except for the color scheme, is the circular superhero badge design between the two speakers on the front and the MARVEL logo on the side. The Captain America version of the superhero badge is his usual red, blue, and white pan-metallic shield, and the Iron Man version is designed with its helmet, which can be recognized at a glance, but JB feels that it is compared to the Ark reactor. It looks better, and the Thor version uses Thor's hammer "Mj?lnir" as the image, and there is a light blue lightning logo next to the white hammer. I feel less seen in the movie and said...
Since the Select 2 has a sling hole on the left side of the fuselage, an extra sling corresponding to the color of the fuselage is attached to the contents of the box, as well as a USB-A to USB-C charging cable and a quick use guide. In terms of specifications, the Bluetooth version of the Select 2 is 5.0, and the Bluetooth transmission range is 30m. There is no sudden disconnection in indoor or park use, and the connection speed is very fast. The pairing is completed almost immediately after powering on, but the audio and video delay problem This is still the insurmountable part of this Bluetooth speaker. Watching movies or playing games can still feel the situation that the picture and the sound are out of sync.
The Select 2 also features an IPX7 water resistance rating (by definition, 1 meter submersion for 30 minutes) and up to 20 hours of battery life, making it safe to take outdoors for camping or rainy weather. When the speaker is not playing music for 30 minutes (can be set in the mobile app), it will automatically shut down to further extend the battery life.
The strip-shaped Select 2 speaker measures 174 x 57 x 59mm and weighs 506g. Except for the metal grille on the front, the other five sides are covered with rubber material, which has a certain degree of drop resistance, although this material After long-term use, it may turn black due to dirt, so you need to pay more attention to the use. The back of the fuselage has an inverted tube design. Its user interface is quite simple. From left to right on the top are the power button, volume -, multi-function buttons with Soundcore logo, volume + and Bluetooth buttons, all of which are three-dimensional embossed designs. There is an NFC sensing area on the lower edge of the Bluetooth button. As for the right side of the fuselage, there is a USB-C charging port. The multi-function buttons can correspond to situations such as music playback, calls and voice assistants. For the most commonly used music playback, press it once to pause/play, press it twice to skip to the next song, and press it three times to return to the previous song.
Select 2 has built-in two 8W titanium woofers and passive radiators, the frequency range is 70Hz~ 40kHz model">40kHz model">40kHz model">40kHz model">40kHz model">40kHz model">40kHz model" >40kHz model >40kHz model >40kHz, the bass is not bad when the BassUp function is turned on, the premise is that it can feel more at 50% volume. I describe the listening performance of this speaker with two songs, namely French Montana "Wiggle It" and YOASOBI's "アンコール", in the first rap song, the background bass drum sound is clearly conveyed and unambiguous, but the Q elasticity is less obvious, and in the second ballad song The resolution of the mid-to-high frequency is quite good, and even the chorus of the female vocalist Ikura's high-pitched chorus has no distortion or hiss, which is beyond my imagination for a Bluetooth speaker at this price.
This Bluetooth speaker also has the function of PartyCast multi-machine connection. After connecting to the first Select 2, press and hold the Bluetooth key of the second Select 2 for two seconds to complete the pairing. The official emphasizes that more than 100 units can be connected. Select 2 (although such a situation is unlikely to happen), if it is two or three, it can achieve the effect of enjoying music with friends outdoors, but it should be noted that in the case of PartyCast, if you need to adjust the volume or other actions , it still has to be done through the first connection device.
Select 2 supports the Soundcore mobile app. Although the control options cannot be compared with its true wireless earphones, it still provides the functions of volume adjustment, equalizer and BassUp bass enhancement, but the equalizer "preset" profile There are only 4 types, namely Soundcore Classic, Vocal, Treble Enhancement, and Balance. The soundcore adjustment curve will be displayed above the setting file. Of course, you can also customize the equalizer effect in "Custom", which provides 9 segments. Frequency, plus or minus 8dB gain adjustment, and after the BassUp function is turned on, you can feel the obvious enhancement of the bass diffusion, which sounds more refreshing.
Mini 3 Pro Bluetooth Speaker
Next, we saw the more affordable Bluetooth speaker Mini 3 Pro. The cylindrical shape is lighter and lighter than the previous one. It is quite similar to the Sony SRS-XB12 previously tested by JB. Its body is mainly composed of matte metal and rubber materials. , and the images of the three superhero series are printed on the front of the fuselage and the sound hole on the top. The biggest difference between it and the Mini 3 is the ring LED light effect on the top periphery. The effect of synchronizing with the music seems to be more party. However, since the Mini 3 Pro uses a 6W monomer, the battery life is slightly reduced to 15 hours, but note that this is the measured value of the LED light effect turned off.
The above picture also allows you to see how the red, blue and gray Mini 3 Pro feels with lighting effects. After all, it is not an e-sports level, and the richness of colors is relatively limited. Compared with the Select 2, the design only has a pattern on one side. The Mini 3 Pro on the front and top is more recognizable, its size is 72 x 72 x 84mm -ic/" title="84mm model">84mm-ic/" title="84mm model">84mm-ic/" title="84mm model">84mm-ic/" title="84mm model">84mm-ic/" title="84mm model">84mm-ic/" title="84mm model">84mm-ic/" title= "84mm model">84mm-ic/" title="84mm model">84mm, the weight is only 250g, it is very convenient to carry.
The Mini 3 Pro has a Bluetooth 5.0 version and a transmission range of 30m. The response frequency of a single 6W speaker is 90Hz~20kHz. I also play the above two songs. French Montana's "Wiggle It" has a sense of low frequency. Slightly weaker than Select 2, but you can still feel the bass shock wave when you turn on BassUp. Interestingly, the vibration on the desktop may be stronger due to the structural relationship (after all, Select 2 has rubber cushions), while in YOASOBI's "アンコール" "In the song, the high pitch of Ikura's a cappella section is not inferior to that of Select 2, which really makes me wonder "Is the single unit really only 6W?" However, I also played music at 50% volume, and I felt that the Mini 3 Pro seemed to be quieter than the former. Some.
The rubber material on the lower edge of the fuselage also has a row of three-dimensional embossed buttons. From left to right, they are the power button, volume -, multi-function button, volume +, and Bluetooth button. The configuration and corresponding functions are the same as Select 2, but the pressing touch is more tactile. The feedback is a little more, and the USB-C charging port on the lower edge of the back of the fuselage has an additional dust cover, which can achieve IPX7 waterproof and dustproof effect, but this dust cover is designed a little tighter, no matter what It takes a little more effort to pull it out or cover it, but once it's tightly closed, it's no problem to put it on the sink. The upper edge of the back of the machine is also equipped with a sling for easy hanging. Its length is not as long as that of the Select 2, and it can only fit three fingers at most.

The main LED lighting effect of Mini 3 Pro can be set in the “Indicator” of the Soundcore app. There are 5 built-in party time, phase beat, dance beat, ring light, and deep breathing. The lights of the first three modes will be Gradient with the beat of the music, and the latter two are relatively monotonous, mainly through the application to choose 10 colors to show the effect, from a personal point of view, this lighting effect is a little bit on non-e-sports speaker products It's tacky, and it consumes more power when it is on, so I wouldn't use this function. If the indicator light function is turned off, the light bar will appear translucent gray. By the way, in addition to the indicator light, the Soundcore app also presets the same 4 equalizer profiles for switching.
The Mini 3 Pro also has the PartyCast function. The usage method is the same as that of Select 2. When the first unit has been paired, you can press and hold the Bluetooth button of the other Mini 3 Pro for two seconds. In addition to incorporating superhero elements, the Mini 3 Pro Marvel licensed model is distinguished from competing products by LED lighting effects, and also has Bluetooth 5.0 (for comparison, SRS-XB13 is Bluetooth 4.2, and the transmission distance is only 10m) and It only sells for 1,490 yuan, and I think the CP value is quite high, but the premise is that the design must suit your taste!
Liberty Air 2 Pro True Wireless Headphones
The Liberty Air 2 Pro box comes with 6 sizes (XXXS~XL) of silicone earplugs, plus the M size that is pre-sleeved, a total of 7 sizes can be used, the Iron and Thor version both use earplugs and headphones in the same color Only the Captain America version has a contrasting color style, and the white earplugs used form a strong contrast with the dark blue earphones.
The circular three-dimensional metal pattern of the superhero can be seen on the sliding cover of the charging compartment of the Liberty Air 2 Pro authorized by Marvel. The charging compartment also provides a great grip. The top of the headphone handle with matte color can be seen with patterns representing superhero imagery, such as Captain America's shield, Iron Man's helmet, and Thor's hammer. The version printed on the lower edge of the right ear is Thor), however, the Liberty Air 2 Pro waterproof level is only IPX4, which is the degree of protection against accidental splashes such as water and splashing water.
The Liberty Air 2 Pro lets you adjust noise reduction and ambient sound, control options, equalizer and HearID listening settings through the Soundcore app. The Bluetooth version of the machine is 5.0. At the beginning of the sale, the audio codec was only standard SBC and AAC. Not long ago, the LDAC code for playing high-resolution sound quality was added through a firmware update. This part can be found in the "Settings" of the gear pattern. The sound mode to upgrade, the entire upgrade process does not need 2 minutes.
In the "Ambient Sound" option, you can adjust the active noise reduction and transparency modes of the headphones. The former provides 4 different modes of traffic, indoor, outdoor and custom, while the transparency has two modes: full transparency and vocal enhancement. Optional, sound insulation is not top notch, but not bad. The battery life of Liberty Air 2 Pro can be used continuously for 6 hours with ANC active noise reduction turned on, up to 21 hours with the charging case, 7 hours and 26 hours with ANC turned off, and 15 minutes of fast charging through the USB-C charging port , you can get an additional 3 hours of use time, and it also supports Qi wireless charging.
Entering the "HearID and Equalizer" interface, you can see 4 options, which are profiles created by HearID's personal audiogram analysis, as well as 22 preset equalizers, Grammy Award-winning producer tuning professional Equalizers, as well as custom equalizers adjusted via curves. What needs special explanation is the professional equalizer. At present, there are 7 musicians working with Soundcore, including singer-songwriter Foxes and Daya, as well as the Halestorm band, etc. Take YOASOBI's "Night に駆 け る" as an example, Daya's tuning will be The overall sense of high and low frequency is improved, and the vocals are also exceptionally clear, making the music sound more dynamic, but the application does not show the equalizer curve of the Grammy Award producer... I think the gimmick component is relatively large.
HearID detects and analyzes the hearing sensitivity of the user's left and right ears through a variety of frequencies, and then establishes the most suitable equalizer profile. The hearing sensitivity in the middle and high frequencies is poor, so the system gives a +6dB gain at this frequency for reinforcement. Personally, after using HearID, I can't go back~~ I can only say that Soundcore is used in the application The richness of program personalization is really its biggest selling point!
Life P3 True Wireless Headphones
The last headphone product authorized by Marvel is the Life P3 previously tested by JB. Its design is different from that of the Liberty Air 2 Pro. For example, the Life P3 headphone body is a mirror-like plastic texture, and the top of the charging compartment retains the Soundcore. The logo, the pattern representing the image of the superhero, is made on the inner pairing key, and this time the Iron Man's triangular ark reactor finally appears in the Captain America version, which is presented with a red, white and blue shield, and Thor's Hammer. Printed on the small pairing key, it has an inexplicable kawaii feeling.
The contents of the three series of boxes are as above, and you can see that the color of the earplugs echoes the body, but after all, the Life P3 is not a high-end model, and the size of the earplugs is not as generous as the Liberty Air 2 Pro.
The appearance of the three series of Life P3 Marvel authorized models is shown above. You can see that the middle circle of the charging compartment also has a shiny metal design that imitates diamond cutting. The Iron Man version is gold, the Captain America version is silver, and the Thor version is A very special blue-green color, the same color is also applied to the metal outer ring of the earphone handle, which has a unique sense of hierarchy. As for the waterproof and dustproof level, it is IPX5, which is probably also the level of splash resistance!
Looking at the design on the earphone handle, the Iron Man version has an Iron Man helmet on the left side of the lower edge, and the golden words "Iron Man" on the right side. JB's impression of Tony Stark's signature should be Tony Stark, not too much. I have the impression of signing Iron Man. As for the Captain America version, the left and right sides of the lower edge of the earphone handle are printed with its iconic mask and shield shape in silver. The last version I see is the Thor version, and the left side is printed on the comic strip. Er's helmet has the word Thor on the right side. Is the reason why the hammer is not used for fear of repeating the pairing button when the headset is stored? As far as the true wireless joint model is concerned, I compare the design of the Life P3, but the mirror plastic body is still a bit cheap.
View this article "Soundcore Life P3 True Wireless Headphones | The King of Affordable Noise-cancelling Feelings and Excellent Battery Life". To put it simply, Life P3 is also equipped with a 11mm -sized composite large moving coil monomer. The Bluetooth code is only SBC and AAC. In addition to HearID and Grammy professional equalizer, the application function side has the functions of Liberty Air 2 Pro. , Life P3 almost has it, but the noise reduction mode cannot be customized.
