Hi there. I bought the Aurora Green Soundcore Motion X600 yesterday afternoon on the strength of your review and it arrived early this morning (thanks Amazon). It’s absolutely amazing! Significantly louder than my Apple HomePod and even has better sound. I’m not sure how that’s even possible given that the HomePod needs a power cord. The Spatial Audio (which I am nuts about anyway) is awesome - it’s like going from mono to stereo in the olden days. The aesthetic and build quality of both the speaker and packaging are Apple-level. I highly recommend the X600. Keep up the great reviews and thanks again!

@timmerred5 Жыл бұрын

I’ve had my X600 for about a week and it sounds great. I love that the app allows you to customize EQ settings and save them. I’ve also learned that if you hit the full band EQ button and turn your phone to widescreen, you can get more precise with the EQ. I’m still waiting for the speakers to break in, but it sounds fantastic anyway. The audio demo doesn’t do it justice, the spatial audio is really sweet.

Excellent review !!! Sounds like manufacturers are rebranding the older "WIDE" function with "SPATIAL" . The Stereo "WIDE" function of 80s-90s boom boxes & receivers had in principal increased the perceived width of the music by adjusting certain frequency bands typically the mid-range to give this effect nice to see it coming back!

If this thing moves volume in sales, I wouldn't be surprised if Sonos also ventures into the battery powered "spatial audio" market as well. Though, I don't know if they'll go higher or lower in price point than the Move. though I do think they'll tout it as a 'move around the home' speaker more than a 'take on a hike' speaker.

Honestly, the spatial audio test didn't come across as impressive or that noticeable in your video but I'm sure an in-person demo would be a different experience. Sounds like if they get better midrange clarity in a future version of the product, they'd really have a game-changer.

I have an unusual question: i need a backup Bluetooth speaker to play in a courtroom to play audio evidence in case the court audio system is not working/connecting properly. So imagine a large room with high ceilings and I'm 20 feet from the judge and need to play audio of, well, violence. I need the lows, bass to come through to accurately represent doors slamming hard, holes being punched in walls versus it sounding like dropping a cookie sheet on the floor. Can this do that, given those outlined needs? Only question i care about for my niche use case. Thank you

@hawkinsdaniel7144 Жыл бұрын

It does go very loud, and has the clarity to hear every detail. If the large courtroom was quiet, and didn't have much backround noise, it will easily be heard around the Courtroom, if placed correctly. Can also pair 2 of these together for one at each end of the courtroom was very large. They are 50W each.

@shangeish9452...please be advised that bluetooth speaker and Soundbar have their own different functionality in term of audio listening. Soundbar commonly used for create surround sound from movie such as Dolby Surround or DB Atmos. Their mainly used when you want immersive effect sounds from the movie. While bluetooth speaker mainly used for listening to the music. And plz underlined that Spatial in X600 more like "spacious sound stange creation" than 360⁰ spatial surround audio.

Hi there, it’s a great speaker for the money and you will struggle to get the same performance at its price. The HomePod or Sonos Era 300 are better speaker but cost 3-4 times as much so I think context is key. Hope you enjoy your speaker :-)

I bought one and loved the sound thanks to this review. HOWEVER, I was so disappointed when I realized it didn't have multipoint connection. More importantly, it only connects to LDAC on Android, so a Windows A2DP doesn't work either (let alone iOS), and I'll have to listen to garbage SBC for eternity. Hifi was a big reason why I decided to buy this. I should've waited a bit longer before deciding to buy.

It is indeed amusing how people are falling for a set of cheap tricks. Widening soundstage by cutting the mids is old as the world. 50w split between 5 drivers is two times weaker than 40 w into 2 drivers. I guess a tad less if 1/5 is a passive radiator, not powered driver. The freq response is so wonky, but sure, who's to say that true audio is higher quality than catchy audio? ;) I particularly love how bad the speaker sounds with the special functions off to make people buy into how awesome those functions are! What else do you reckon they might have done for the spatial mojo? Play with phase difference, hence the need for so many little drivers? I'd be curiuous to see Charge 5 or Xtreme 3 compared with X600 when all 3 are equalized to actually paint in similar strokes.
