Even later response. The Soundcore Select 2 (2021) is a cost-reduced version of the Soundcore 3 (2020), made exclusively for Walmart (so as not to compete directly with Amazon) and Best Buy. Most reviews date back to 2021. Soundcore 3 and Soundcore Select 2 share the same body dimensions 174 x 57 x 59mm. Select 2 is made in Vietnam, while SC 3 was made in China, at least the earlier batches. Comparison with the smaller, previous versions "Soundcore 2" and its cost-reduced cousin "Soundcore Select".
