Double the watts comes at double the weight , the smaller coming in at 3.6lbs va 8.38.
Play time advertised as the same.
Any other notable differences?
Main thing I saw is the subwoofer passive radiator design is different, and they switched the location of the LeDs from the front speakers to the side woofers.
The select pro is rated at 30W while the boom 2 is rated at 80W. I was impressed with the select pro. It got much louder than expected for the size and didn't distort. Still, the boom 2 for just over double the price seems like a great deal.
I bought the boom 2, so hopefully this one is better.

I recently purchased a pair of the Soundcore Select Pro speakers from the $39 Walmart deal primarily to gift them, but also to see how they sound versus the relatively price. Seeing this deal, I ordered Anker's top-of-the-line Boom 2 Plus since summer is here and I'd been planning picking up a new waterproof boombox. After reading a few reviews post-purchase, I'm thinking I might order the $90 Boom 2 and try my own comparisons against the $180 Boom 2 Plus I already ordered.
I stumbled onto a couple videos from a YT reviewer I've watched a few times in the past. It's just one person's opinion, but like Drewm427, he has very positive things to say about the smaller Boom 2 versus its bigger and more expensive sibling. Anyhow, a few links -

I'm kinda surprised that rtings hasn't really taken the time to review more Soundcore speakers given the heavy promotion (and likely sales) they get on Amazon.
