Looking forward to watching this video. I love the fact that someone like you exists and want to make these tests so we have it easier to decide what to buy with our money! 🙏 And as everybody else in your comment sections, I ordered a Motion Boom, (and trance go) and will get them tomorrow, looking forward to listening. Upgraded from my Bose Soundlinklink 3 that has been faithfully by my side for 5 years 😁 cheers from Sweden!

Thanks Alan, bought the motion boom on the back of your review. I was constrained by budget so went for your pound for pound champion. Love it so much just bought a second to pair it up, so thought I would just drop you a line to thank you. Think you're the best reviewer that I've come across on KZfaq. Still watch the channel because I love the reviews

Excellent review once again, Alan! Thank you for all your hard work! 👏😀💪

Love your reviews Alan. Doing a fantastic job 👍 Love my motion+, intrigued by the boom.

got mine cos of your videos on the boom, thankyou so much awesome speaker and even better youtuber love the energy

I love that deep bass and warm sound of Boom as much as I love the clarity of Plus. I have the Motion Plus and I’m happy with it thank to your review. I’m waiting for Soundcore Motion + Boom 😀

Great video, reading most comments and realized you answered every single question from the crowd, sure this is appreciated, BTW, got here after my HK Onyx was stolen at the office, and wanted a cheaper alternative.... bought the motion+, no regrets, having bose, klipsh, HK, Cambridge and JBL portable speakers, this buddy is the sweetest deal for the money

Awesome comparison and analisys, really like your quality content and a little envious of that great hair hahaha

For me the tradeoff is easy to make, I want the fuller bass and can sacrifice some mid range clarity as I am not concerned with full hi-fi outside. The boom has great highs compared to some others in the price range and even sounded better that the motion+ in the 45% test, with no dedicated tweeters.

tracks: 8:36 Agatino Romero & LANNÉ - Adrenaline 13:09 RVPTR x GODMODE x YUNAY - Assassinate 14:12 DigitalTek & Maximo - Head Over Heels 15:11 Mark Klaver - Cigarettes and Perfume 19:43 monsters under my bed - Massie

Excellent review. Thank you for sharing. Motion Boom it is.

Thank you so much for doing the stuff we asked for. Without you , everybody would buy jbl or cheap amazon speakers

Love your reviews man!

I can't believe the way the tweeterless MB has moe high-end sibilance than the M+. A very fun sound. I might have to get one of those...

Thank you for analyses and your time 🎩

I'm a singer songwriter producer in the music industry and have quite a few different speakers that I use for mixing. I have the bass side of things covered , but truthfully the honesty and clarity in the motion plus is just lovely. I bought my second one that as they really help with my mixes. I use the custom eq to get the bass in that sweet spot where I need it & with 2 I'm now very happy. The slave one actually stays on the custom eq, I notice that you said somewhere that it goes back to the bass setting, very strange but I'm not complaining lol. The motion boom for outdoors partying etc will be better especially if you just want loudness and bass, but for what I use them for they're perfect. You're truly great at what you do. I see your passionate so keep going. Thanks again. God bless

Thanks for yet another great review. Minirig vs Motion Boom next?

I just purchased 2 Soundcore Motion Booms because of your reviews.

Simply the best reviewer on KZfaq. Some detail is too technical at times, but I'm beginning to understand how the measurements translate to what I'm hearing. There's no more dedicated, enthusiastic or capable reviewer than Alan. He has influenced, in a good way, many of my purchases.

Very Very good speaker.Especially paired together.I was however disappointed the aux.in was taken away.And the fact that speaker can't be put into mirror mode.TWS only.Wasnt enough to keep me from getting two.

It's awesome what anker did with motion boom, for price of one xtreme3 you could pick 2 booms and this setup destroys every speaker in this size i mean - price, sound quality... WTF? I order 2 of them and let's go, greetings Alan! :D

Good test...Thank you...

Soundcore needs to come out with a proper 3 way bt speaker, when done right it will totally dominate and Soundcore is one of the companies that can do that while making it affordable.

That 50hz peak is quite impressive imo at the lower volumes. I imagine that that the bass from the boom will sound quite expansive in person in tws. I feel if would be interesting if somehow one of each could be played together and see if they could fill in the gaps, but I doubt Anker would add that support.

Firstly great videos and love your narrative... Wish I'd seen these videos before. I am getting a bit confused now. I bought the Motion Plus and I do want a bit more bass coming through. So now debating if i should get a Boom to try it out. Or is there another option. The plus sounds great but is a little focused on high frequencies. Keep up the good work!

Hey Alan Ross what you recommend 2 motion booms or motion boom and motion+? Thank you!

i just bought the motion plus, thanks alan lol, gawd daymn the bass in the boom sounds so delicious. and why does the vocal seem more forward sounding in the boom ? i thought that's the motion plus' specialty, man i feel screwed over by anker on this one guess i'll just have to stick with smp for now because the boom isn't available yet in my country

They should make an opportunity to connect the motion + with motion Boom. It will be a great combo with clarity and heavy bass. Don't see any technical difficulties for Anker to do this via software. Just can't understand why they could not be connected at the moment. Maybe someone has experience with their customer service about this question? Alan, thanks for the review! You are the best at KZfaq in bt speakers comparison!

After running chain saws and heavy equipment for years, going to concerts and being right in front of the speakers, its not all about the lows or the highs for me anymore, adding the tweeters really makes the decision for me. I need the vocals front and center or its a muddled mess. I wanted a stereo pair for overlanding trips for a while now and almost stayed with the Boost for size, but the difference is negligible going to the motion + for packing the truck.

The speaker test I think most of us have been waiting for, thank you. I'm still in the plus camp because I live in a small flat and can't really own a speaker with too much bass. Yes the plus could do with a touch more bass but the clarity is what wins it for me. From what I hear, the boom lacks the clarity the plus brings to the battle.

Sound core motion boom is such a beast!! I Love it.

Thank you for all the videos! I’m so curious what to compare to (two Motion Booms in Stereo) vs. (a mains-powered stereo) for the same price; e.g. for watching movies and also for listening to music?

Motion Boom Plus (with Tweeter and 80W total output ) will be out soon. Can't wait to hear your review. $142 pre-order price. I have 2 Motion+. I think the clarity is obvious and more important than the low bass. I do however like bass so hopefully the Motion Boom Plus will be the perfect blend of these two speakers.

which option will be better because I have a dilemma what will be generally better 2x anker boom or tribit stormbox blast?

I'm not sure but I did the checking on my own way and I think the crossover for the tweeter is around 2 khz probably more like 1.8 khz so the tweeters are handling more mids and vocals that's why the vocals are really nice in the motion+ ... it rolls of in the high-end quick maybe because if it would go further all the time then the shimmering sparkling would be too much ... anyway it does go further from 12 khz in real world tracks in your tests and does not seem off with its sound ... but deep bass on boom is on another level ... I also think the same about the hi-res thing you explained just sounds smoother and a little bit more going on in the tracks but never experienced it where I can say it's a significant difference ... better and wider sampling rate can make difference like you said

When listening to my motion boom I don't even notice it has no tweeters, it all depends how your equalisers are set to get more sound clarity.

Good stuff Alan, if only the boom didn't look so unforgivably ugly, how vain am I? ;) Thank you for what you do, I get excited every time that bell rings and I see your mug with the speakers :) Hope to see some more content on the lighter weight speakers as well soon :)

I watched the review for the motion boom in TWS compared to the onyx before in the afternoon and thought that the motion boom in TWS would be lovely against its older sibling, motion plus in TWS. And here I am in the night watching this, after subscribe to your channel, appear in my home feeds, didn't realize you already made the review that I want to see.

Great review, this motion boom definitely looks impressive. Would anyone even consider a 2.1 minirig over these given the price and the fact you no longer lack bass from an anker speaker!! I’m not sure you can. I still like the compact size of my 2x motion +

Purchased MB in addition to my M+ and the latter immediately went to the shelf.

Alan Ross, you need to review the W-King T9 (U.S. version). It seems incredibly great. 👍🙏❤💕❤💕❤💕❤💕❤💕❤💕❤💕❤💕

Soundcore has some great earbuds as well. Awesome.

On the Motion Boom - how is the KZfaq latency (video to audio latency). Thanks

*I have 2 motion plus and i'm not satisfied with the bass as i expected but the sound quality, loudness and portability is crazy.I use it around very crowded area so if i bought extreme 2 it would be waste of money since its not loud enough especially when not plugged in. I wish motion plus had more bass without being too fat like xb40. Then i would call it perfect.*

do you think 2x motion boom OR minirig systems are better for partys at high volume? in other words is it better to have deeper bass or louder upper bass?

Would you go fot one Motion Boom or two Motion+ in terms of decent Bass and dynamic Sound ? I listen rather at low levels. Thanks for your great Reviews

That's quick

Check out the Brookstone bks800 and the w-king t9.

Hello Alan Once again watching this review. Definitely as many people said before me those two seem to be made to work together, unfortunately they aren't😒, we probably have to thank the marketing guys for this decision. But still, watching your intro, it makes me imagine some kind of rig where you would stack one of each , the size matches the loudness too. It would not beat your new champ Tribit Blast, but it would also be half the weight, and probably more pleasing than the motion boom plus ?

I am needing one for the beach! Ive watched several of your videos and im thinking the motion boom. Anyone recommend anything better?

Can motion boom and motion connect? Thanks

Honestly I’m gonna have to pick the booms up wow

Are you going to review the new wking t9. It is a beast of a speaker. Can you compare it to the sound trance

I would like to see the Soudncore Motion Boom VS. LG PN7. Both with tuned EQ. Can't believe the Motion Boom sounds better than the PN7.

Great review. By the way what is the best speaker at the moment for you ? Regardless of the value

Hello, Sorry if I didn't understand everything correctly but, The drop in low frequency punch is only at maximum volume or always? Do I have to understand that the equaliser would be different when 2 booms are paired ? Do you think that at moderate volume or little bit more volume it is better to have 2 than on motion boom ? Regards from France

Nice test! Would be interessting if I should switch my Harman Kardon Go an Play to a Motion Boom 🤔 maybe someone can compare these two or know both and can tell me the difference...

The day they put the motion+’s tweeters and aptx into the motion boom... JBL’s in trouble...

Is there a speaker you can recommend that has the sound characteristic of the motion plus just with deeper base?

Maybe it's a product of how I'm listening but the boom sounds a bit hollow but gets better the louder you went.

How are they outside.?

15:55 this is the moment when i cleary hear difference in details :P so motion boom for people like full sound and bass, and motion plus for people who appreciate more detailed sound closer to studio monitors?

Is it possibile to pair motion + and boom?

Does having 2 actually produce more details and better stereo effect? or all it does is just increase the total volume in the room? Depending on your answer I will be getting 1 or two of the Motion+.

i love motion boom, but in some songs it sounded more pleasant on motion plus. Definately i cant call motion plus bad speaker for the money. can you pair motion plus with motion boom?

Hi Alan, how reliable is the TWS? I had the same problem as you pairing two JBL Xtremes. Now I just want reliable TWS with these otherwise no point in buying it

Is there's any way to connect 2 boom and 2 pluses And play 1 boom and 1 plus as right channel And 1 boom, 1plus as lift channel? Because 4 speakers is also cheap for the loudness and quality of sound they can get

I see Alan y press like.. i bought a motion + finally.. i really hope the motion boom arrives to south américa someday.. 😔

Currently Motion+ on offer at £70, Motion Boom is £80. So doubling up, is cheaper on Motion+. Have you tried either with audio from video? Is there a lag? Thinking great set up for outdoor movie watching, but maybe the AUX IN on the Motion+ would negate lag.

Aiwa Exos 9 retails for around £250 and would be a good comparison the 2x Soundcore boom. 😉

Im wondering if i should get two Motion booms, but they are a bit large for day to day portability. Can Two different anker speakers party up, so i can get both the boom and the +?

As others have stated, to see Anker make a Boom/Motion+ hybrid would be a gem I believe. But then that would kill all sales of those two speakers so this leaves me cynical that we'll see that joining.

Hi is there a chance to pair the motion boom with motion + it would seem as ideal pair

hey mate is the pairing on motion booms have an issues like the plus? you said if im not mistaken on plus the master is will reteain the custom eq but the slave will revert to bass up..is it thesame at the booms just curious im thinking to buy one more on black friday😅..

have you tried to party cast all the speakers together, not just as a left and right pairing?

What's better between a motion plus and the lg pl5?

Can you pair the boom to a plus? Little best of both worlds action?

Great video. Thinking about what my Dad might prefer. He listens to Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing for example. He says he is not that into bass and is more into quality. And he might pair two of them. Still on the fence on what to suggest to him.

Is it possible to link the boom with the motion +? I have allready the motion plus and want to buy a extra boom

Is it possible to listen to the Motion Boom at a low volume (like background music) or is it only for parties? I'm considering buying 2x Motion Boom for mostly background music and occasionally louder listening.

Can you pair motion+ with any other device? Or only motion+ with motion+ ?

Are you thinking of doing 2 motion booms vs 2 rave neo's?

2 motion booms paired or 2 W King t9 paired? which is better?

How would 2 motion booms compare to your old Beolit 17?

Wondering, if money was no object... What's the best speaker under or near 1kg.

As I'm preparing for my video for tomorrow this caught my attention as expected motion booms are more exciting party speakers as the motion plus you want some tea nice sounding speakers 😅 but I wish Anker made it possible to connect there speakers like JBL and im doing the JBL Boombox 2 vs the HK onyx studio 5&7

Can you pair 1 motion boom with 2 Soundcore mini 3 as well?

I got both the motion boom and d8 right on time. Usually i get my stuff from spanish amazon since i dont have to pay for shipping to Portugal (i paid 80 for each. At the beggining of the week a motion boom could be had for 70 euros on german amazon but with the shipping for Portugal they would be more expensive) and right now they expect to have stock of the motion boom only at the end May. The d9 is now out of stock. Probably due to the boom stock being so late. I am now even more interested in getting the d9 out of curiosity. Would you say it is a stepback from the d8 no matter wich firmware? By only looking at your graphs it seems like it is much come balanced in the bass or at least not as lacking on that department. I like the boom but i do agree with what other people said, sometimes i wish it had tweeters as well. Yes it is true that the boom keeps better composure until it hits max volume but it is also true that it does not go that loud (i know its basically mids and highs and a screechy sound overall but i perceive the + as being the loudest. The same of course applies to the d8 but its a 50w speaker so no surprises here). There are tracks in wich for me it is noticeable that some highs and mids are missing on the boom. I get that a lot on rock and metal specially. For instance on offsprings “self esteem” and blink 182’s “all the small things” i feel like the d8 as the edge when it comes to electric guitars, they sound a bit more visceral and lively. Also on a couple of more vocal track i perceive that despite not very natural the d8 gives more emphasis to the vocalists. They feel closer and clearer. But of course the boom always wins on the bass and i would even risk to say that the overall balance of the boom is better than the hk go play i have as well despite not being as loud. Although, indo sometimes also feel that the bass is too much on low and medium volume listens (i am using your instagrams eq) and that it messes a bit with the mids, highs and overall sound separation. I do agree that the motion boom and + are complete opposites in everything. One offers portability and clarity while the other offers powerfull sound (the d8 to my ear sounds closer to the motion + than the boom. The sound of the d8 is a bit more full than on the + but considering the size i think the motion + is still very impressive). Edit: My comment was written before having completed to watch the video.... You certainly addressed some of the points i mention here like the eq and and the vocals. :D Do you have a eq for more moderate volumes by the way? Cheers :)

Alan I’m in a pickle I want to jam out with my bedrins in the park, I bought the boom thinking it had a Aux, as I needed it for use with my DJ controller, any suggestions for something with similar to the boom but with an aux?

How come at 100% volume the peak loudness is different on every video where pair of motion+ are featured? Is it so track dependent or? I am wondering cause judging by this video two m+ are as loud as my JBL partybox310 which isn't true (I've got two m+ too). Also, what does dB(C) actually stand for?

As you said at the start of the video, these speakers are the best VALUE. What single speaker starts becoming better then a single soundcore? At what price, size, brand, power. Where do the soundcores start getting beaten?

Is it just me or does the Motion plus sound distorted at max volume? Both in the video and In real world tests I hear some distortion. My motion plus also does it though I just recently noticed it. I don't know if my unit is faulty and just started distorting or if it's always been like that. I played it at full volume at work one night and from what I could hear it took it like a champ with little to no distortion, now whenever I play it above 80% volume for a few minutes, it distorts things like bass drum kicks. Busier, more crowded parts of tracks where there's a lot going on also start to sound grainy and crackly.

Is it possible to connect Motion Plus and the boom in Bluetooth?

for the motion+ which is better BassUp or Heavy?

Two soundcore motion +'s sound amazing together, especially with your EQ. Mine cut sound very often tho and it's horrible. Anyone else had this problem and fixed it?
