Wow I only bought this bc it was $50 in a Black Friday sale for causal use. I didn't expect it to have such good reviews! Awesome

Bought mine a couple weeks or so ago and I’m absolutely sold on the Soundcore brand now. This speaker sounds and looks excellent. I like it a lot better than my old JBL and the bass is insane. Plus the custom EQ makes the mids and highs shine a lot more. That said, rap, funk, IDM, etc are my main genres of music.

The design of this speaker is the only reason why I have gravitated to purchasing it. I think it's the best design i've ever seen in a bluetooth speaker.

Great review! A 'bass-off' toggle is actually EXACTLY what I've been looking for when podcast listening 👏🏽

Alan Ross does like 20 shootouts and reviews on this speaker and goes into great detail and even reviews software upgrades.

Thanks for the great review. Just FYI, I also use the Motion Boom at home as a hands-free conference speaker (courtesy of lockdown). Built in mic works just fine. Other key difference between Soundcore & JBL is that Soundcore is a true wireless performer...in that it plays the same whether on battery or on charge. JBL range gets louder when run off mains power. Greetings from South Africa! 🇿🇦

"Why would someone ever want to listen to music without bass?" Not every session is about trying to be a nightclub. Lots of people live in apartments, with others, etc., and if they can use it to listen to music more quietly, without disturbing too many people around, that's a plus. You can activate more bass when needed. I think this adds versatility and is a pro in my opinion.

What an excellent review. Easily one of the best I've seen on KZfaq.

The JBL might connect with 100 other speakers but they'll all play mono. The motion does tws . Real stereo . A far more desirable feature than the useless party connect . C'mon , that's a pretty bad call.

You CAN connect more than one of them together. As demonstrated on Alan Ross's channel.

I think it would've benefitted greatly from tweeters.

the motion boom and motion plus are maybe only speakers you will ever need. Motion boom for on the go music motion plus for home listening. You could get 2 of each for less than one of their competition.

Thank you for sharing your EQ. It made a huge difference.

I own a dindin brand of speakers. To be honest it's really good. I've had it for a year so far, and I use it at every party!

I chose this over the motion plus mostly because of battery life. motion Plus definitely sounded a little better and had a little less latency but they both sounded very close. And the boom has triple the battery life.

Great review as usual Mark !! Thanks you its greatly appreciated ...Cheers from Canada East Coast !!

Lack of bass is the greatest problem with these small speakers so it's good to hear that this one has it. A long battery life is important too if you want to keep it for more than a year or two. The codecs matter less.

I bought 2 and run in stereo . You can't imagine the rumble these things can cause. They're freaking amazing and having a full ipx 7 is way more important to me than ip67 .

After watching several reviews on this speaker I agree that it is just missing the clarity and crisp sound that the a motion plus has. Hopefully they may consider adding them to create a brighter upfront sound in addition to the great bass. Value for dollar it can’t be beaten.

agree , custom EQ makes great job

Great review bro I just wish there was some background music but this is the best bang for your buck as a mini boombox

Can you review the anker soundcore motion plus ❤👍

I've been looking at this speaker for while I like the sound that it pushes out but the design is not the best looking they should have dropped the handle great review as always my man.

Dude, Eagerly Waiting for you to review the OPPO ENCO X, and Compare them to Liberty air 2 Pro.

I bought this speaker for 80 dollars at Walmart original price was 100! And I love it!! Sounds amazing and the battery 🔋 👌 lasts long 👌

I've always had great experience with Anker customer services

I thought the bass on this unit was really good. Deeper than the w-king. It's full an really impressive.

The speaker and by extension this brand could never replace JBL as my go-to Bluetooth speaker brand, I've been sold by them too many times. That being said, I picked this one up as my go-to backup because it is an excellent speaker, especially considering the price, I paid $89.99 for it. For that price, it has fantastic sound, excellent build quality, and great battery life compared to anything else in its price range. Honestly, in my most humble opinion, if you can't afford a brand like JBL or Bose, this would be the speaker I would recommend, it is literally the best value I have ever seen in a Bluetooth speaker.

There are many negative reviews about this online where the complaint is that if you use it outdoors when it's hot, the interior heats up and the passive radiators bulge out and the sound becomes horrible. I was going to buy one of these until I read those reviews, as using it outdoors in the summer is one of the main reasons I'd want it.

@12:06 thats a bold statement! thank goodness I purchased it🙂🤙🏼

The first ever video I saw of yours and I subscribed right away!!! The main reason is that I loved your EQ settings !!!😎🤙✌️

I subscribed even before you requested because of your honest bold reviews!!! That's what's needed. No fairtales!

I've had my Boom for a year & they're unbeatable for the price. I use it almost daily & treat it pretty badly outdoors & even in the shower. . Still working the same as the day i bought it. OK it's not amazing HiFi, but then again nor are the JBL's. For a high quality audio bluetooth i have a pair of minirigs, plus sub, but they're not cheap.

fab review!!! i love this thing, lost ,y womnderboom 2. wish i had this on my 50cc in the 80s!!

Wow beautiful thumbnail haha the KZfaq loader icon circulated the speaker from the to thumbnail. 😂

"I'm back to let you know what's worth buying before you buy it" *me looking at my new speaker*

as for the ipx7 not 67 i dissagree :D. i work in a timber warehouse with 3 forklifts and constant wood cutting, i had to take this speaker for Christmas back to my home to have a party and after few wipes and a lot of air dusting it works like it should even tho it had a 3mm layer of dust on some parts of it.

Bro! From 12:15....This is exactly what I was waiting for to hear!!! Thanks 🤩

Nice review. BTW it hurted me when you pushed the passive radiator deep...

That sounded great on the custom eq. I just wish people played music I listen to for reviews.

Still a great speaker. Got it for 60 euros.

Thanks for the recommended EQ settings!

They should have written eco mode instead of bass up. Its made to save battery.

Using the bass up function while listening to beat devoid songs like O from Coldplay would really disrupt the highs hence they have an option to switch it off. Try listening to this song with bass and without bass. I bet u won't use base up

Gj with that custom EQ! You totally saved that speaker :) (i have motion+ and im really satisfied) Howewer i run it on default bass up mode + eq from my mp3 player as my old ass phone has problem to connect the media audio to it:/

"nobody needs to listen to music for 24 hours straight" i drive trucks and the company truck i use doesnt have a working headunit, so im one of the few that would disagree

For a drab lad, I found you quite interesting my friend... I had zero intentions of watching the full video, but I did. P.s. I got a great chuckle from your bottle opener bit lol - good luck brother, God bless.

As far as the base is concerned when it comes to high base audio baseball speakers the bass can be doubled or tripled when you're listening to music that. Was made to put out a higher base which can Double-A triple debate coming through your speakers. So what I said before? A lot of songs on music are created in high base such as rap and R and B music.

if only it had partycast instead of tws its a boombox for godsake and no handle bar with 3.5 aux in it would be just perfect.

i bought the awesome boom! now im getting the new boom coming may30th. cant wait!!

Soundcore don't the greedy game. instead, they want people to notice their high quality products, & they don't disapoint. Their earbuds are also better than alot of high-end brands, & that's alot to say!!

Hello brother, thank you for your answer. I am really stuck between two Bluetooth speakers, which one do you think I should buy? Anker SoundCore Flare II Bluetooth Speaker. Or Anker SoundCore Motion Boom Bluetooth Which one is better and more worth buying?

I got it yesterday. it's just what I was looking for. not too heavy and large, but gives a good bass. and, yes. you can pair two speakers. you have an option. :)

7:47 they actually did recently add eq to jbl speakers in the app.

+8 dB at 13k sounds abhorrent 😂😂😂

I like the design

well it seems like the soundcore motion boom plus will solve most of your gripes with the motion boom

The design is human😂😂😂

NO aux input? Deal breaker there my man. Thanks.

Cuz its cheap, sounds great, has a massssive battery and its great Anker quality!

the design is just like boombox in 90's

How does it compare to the LG PN7 XBoom? I'm undecided between thee two. I listen to Hip Hop, Raggae, Soul, Electronic Music.

got his speaker, it's good. Get it.

you haven't heard about their noise canceling + Bluetooth headphones, Soundcore Q30, comfortable, sounds very good, and best still Cheap.

A great review

No auxiliary that's my deal breaker damn it

Why oh why did Anker make that speaker look like a 12yr old’s toy radio when the Motion plus is so nice looking.

Could you review the JBL charge 5?

EXCELLENT review!

How do you think for metal music which need detail instrument, sound stage and speed double pedal?? Need advise

Why would u like 0 Bass?.....words to live by 🙂 great review mate, liked, shared and subbed, cheers!

Please review the Soundcore Select Pro. There isn't much information about it yet, it essentially looks like the Motion Boom with LED lights, but I don't know if there are any other differences. I'd like to know before I commit to purchasing a bluetooth speaker. Thank you

Have you never heard Harmon Kardons? Their deep base is far greater. But for size and weight, I have this with me while my HK is sitting in storage as I travel.

I don't like how he compares a 80 dollar speaker to a 400+ dollar speaker lol come on man for 80 bucks I'll buy this over jbl all day hell buy two of them for less then 1 JBL

Thanks for the review, it definitely give the reason to buy it or not

Could you please try the Liberty 3 pro and tell us if there's still the hiss or is it gone?

Cool vid. meaby try motion boom vs charge 5 next time?

is the battery replaceable?

So you never got around to playing the actual sound so we could hear for ourselves?? Oh ok.

Can this be used with a wireless microphone for karaoke etc?

So I play mp3s directly from my iphone using the Denon EQ music app... does that trump the need to use the soundcore app?

Did you ever see if you got induced/amplified wind noise on the Q30 with ANC on ? On my second pair now.

Hey because I trust your reviews can you do one of the notabrick vibe speaker ?

Which one is louder Motion plus or this boombox

Bass button is for battery... ... .. .

Never trust what anker says for build quality and i mean that in the best way possible some how. So im a senior in a high school and i have a really cool bus driver who lets me play music. Well i have a anker soundcore 1 speaker. No water protection, none of that. Just a $30 speaker. Well 2nd day of school this year the coolant line exploded and and myself and my speaker got soaked in 170-200°f coolant and that thing is still working. It also said it wasnt very drop proof. I have dropped it and hit it with a basketball so many times and i have had it sonce my sophmore year. It is now only starting to get quiet but not by much and battery life has taken a dip. But if you want better than what you are buying go with anker😂

great video learned alot I think I'm going to buy it or u have a other option that's better

For me it's the W-Kinf T9

Well at least you get two speakers for a stereo pair. Why do people buy just one bluetooth speaker? I thought 99.9% of music was recorded in stereo. Was I absent for a back to mono movement?

Is this speaker alone a stereo?

please tell me that is there any type of lag or latency while gaming....? How is the sound while gaming ...?

i want to buy this speaker but i dont know will it support flash drive or not, is there any speaker like this with flash drive or microSD support ?

Incredible value at 89 bucks, I am so happy with my Boom. It can go toe to toe with my JBL Extreme 2.

Is it possible to connect via cable usb-c aux to other devices?

Does anybody know of any other reasonably priced speakers that have a charge out function?

odd they didnt send motion plus

The preset it came with not so good. Once I tweaked the sound with my LG V30 phone the sound got much better. In fact I don’t even use the bass boost. The clarity is inferior to Motion Plus but overall I like it better. JBL is all bass and metallic high which I dont like. All in all if money is an issue get the Boom over the JBL and get a bargain LG V series phone as music source.

My blue tooth is not switching off I have use the power button but is not working what do I do

Can we get the numbers on the custom eq? It's hard to tell from the photo

I bought the motion+ over the boom due to my need for portability (I travel a lot) and due to the hype the + has traditionally received, I was surprised and disappointed with its lack of deep bass. I'm now thinking maybe I should have gone for the boom and sacrificed portability. Should I just get the boom or is there something else that gets the best of both words (or as close to as possible); the mids and highs of the + with the deep bass of the boom?
