Anker Innovations has introduced its latest portable party speaker, the soundcore Rave 3S, to the Philippine market through its premium audio brand, soundcore. Anker Innovations, a global consumer electronics company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China, has expanded its soundcore line in recent years to target the portable speaker and wearable audio segments, competing in a category that includes established players such as JBL, Sony, and Ultimate Ears.

The soundcore Rave 3S is priced at P19,995 and is now available for purchase through soundcore's official website as well as its online stores on Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop. The multi-platform retail approach reflects the growing dominance of e-commerce channels in the Philippines, where online marketplaces have become primary shopping destinations for consumer electronics.

Designed to cater to Filipinos' well-known enthusiasm for karaoke — a cultural staple at gatherings, celebrations, and even everyday commuting — the Rave 3S features an artificial-intelligence-powered Vocal Removal function that can convert any song into a karaoke backing track.

"Instead of searching for dedicated karaoke versions, users can simply stream songs from their favorite music apps and instantly remove the original vocals to create their own backing track. Whether it's today's biggest hits or timeless OPM (original Pilipino music) classics, anyone can take center stage in seconds," the brand said.

The speaker ships with two wireless microphones and includes beat-synced LED lighting designed to enhance the karaoke experience.

On the hardware side, the Rave 3S delivers 200 watts of audio output powered by three full-range drivers and a dedicated 6.5-inch woofer, positioning it above many mainstream portable Bluetooth speakers in terms of raw power and making it suitable for larger gatherings both indoors and outdoors.

"Users can also personalize their sound using customizable EQ (equalizer) settings, including controls for vocal enhancement and reverb to help every performance sound its best," soundcore said.

For live performance versatility, the speaker is equipped with dedicated microphone and guitar inputs. AUX-IN connectivity also allows it to function as an external speaker for movies, music, and general entertainment use.

The Rave 3S carries an IPX4 water resistance rating, offering protection against splashing water, and promises up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge. — BVR
