Alan Ross Reviews Top Picks:
Pound for pound world champion:
Soundcore Motion Boom: geni.us/motionboom
Amazingly deep bass to 40hz for its size and price.
For a leaner more agile sound with seven more deep bass for the same price try the Mifa Wildbox
Still worth a look:
My former world champ the Soundcore Motion Plus can still offer great clarity.
geni.us/soundcoremotionplus
£50 champion:
Great bass for its size, Soundcore Boost: geni.us/soundcoreboost
Tribit Xsound Mega: medium sized mono speaker with fun bass and light show. geni.us/xsoundmega
Bass Heavy Speakers:
Soundcore Motion Boom Plus: Hard to beat for its price and bass depth geni.us/motionboomplus
Very Deep bass (40hz) but lacks clear mids and highs JBL Boombox 2: geni.us/jblboombox2
Harman Kardon Go+ (mid and upper bass heavy but with decent balance): Play geni.us/goplay
Onyx Studio 6 (warmer than the 7, bass heavy in balance): geni.us/onyxstudio6
Bag of Riddim 2: dollops of mid and upper bass help to give a warm and open sound. Fun listen but not to accurate. geni.us/bagofriddim
Hi End Picks
Minirig mk3 2.2 system: geni.us/minirigmk3
Great for portable low deep kick: Onyx Studio 6 (more bass than Onyx 7): geni.us/onyxstudio6
Monitor Like openess and neutrality but lacks deep bass Audio Pro C3: geni.us/audioproc3
Travel Speakers:
Marshall Stockwell 2: geni.us/stockwell2
offers a decent immersive sound with full and tight bass. Beware though it does not go very loud
JBL Charge 5: geni.us/jblcharge5, mono but has a very clear and dynamic sound at low volumes and can go reasonably loud. Bit screechy over 80%.
Bose Soundlink Flex: geni.us/bosesoundlinkflex good bass heavy sound for its compact travel friendly size.
Denon 250bt, no longer made but the standard for size/quality ratio?
JBL Flip 6: geni.us/jblflip6 louder than the Bose Soundlink Flex and has better highs (though too much, bit harsh) but not as full sounding as the Flex.
Beosound A1 1st gen: sounds better than 2nd gen and goes louder but has app, connectivity and battery issues. Very deep bass for small size and clearer than the Bose Flex. geni.us/a1gen1
Best Mini/Micro Options:
Bose Soundlink Micro (warm): geni.us/bosesoundlinkmicro
Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 (clinical): geni.us/tribitmicro2
Also consider Beosound A1 1st gen (more HiFi). geni.us/a1gen1
Minirig Mini 2: geni.us/minirigmini2
Worth a Look:
W-King T9: geni.us/wkingt9
The T9 is a reasonably loud and balanced party speaker with a big bright detailed sound.
Budget Loud Boombox: no clear winner but my pick for fun outside listen would be:
W-King X10-1 for form factor and loudness geni.us/wkingx10
W-King D9 for bass with a little smoother signature: geni.us/wkingd9
Soundcore Motion Boom Plus or the older Sony XB43 :)

Legend has it, the great Alan Ross has once again uploaded another video 🔥🔥🔥 Being a Sony XB-43 owner myself, I already know where this about to go sadly 😕😕😕. Pretty much agreed with your analysis as always. Lower mids ain’t good on it (imo) upper mids are decent on it, doesn’t go deep in the bass, after you go pass 6 kHZ it’s a mess (as you said in ur original video on it) It is a safe and big open sound as you said in your original video as well though (it’s best advantages)

Thank you Alan for the detailed comparison between the XB43 and the MBPlus. I sold my XB43 before the MBPlus arrived. For my listening taste, it didn't stand a chance against the normal Boom. The XB43 distorts on some pieces of music when boosting the highs with a 3rd party EQ. Unfortunately, it wasn't any better than the XB33, which doesn't have a tweeter. Only the deep tones were clearly more pronounced. For me, not enough benefits. On the other hand, the MBPlus cannot keep up with the MB either. The high tones of the MBPlus sound like a horn tweeter, as if they were designed for party volume and not fidelity. In addition, the bass of the MB sounds clearly separated from the treble, drier. The MBPlus definitely has what it takes to reproduce the finest tones, unfortunately always mixed with a breeze of upper mids that sound unpleasant when listening to music. Nevertheless, I don't cry for the XB43, because even with the disadvantages of the MBPlus, which can only be corrected to a limited extent with EQ, I still love their more detailed sound. I'm sorry for Soundcore that I'm using the MBPlus differently than intended. But the MB proved that you can tune a speaker for both indoors and outdoors. Note: my opinion is based solely on listening at home, in the stereo triangle (TWS mode). In my day (80's) a detailed sound image was an indication of good sound combined with a good recording. Lively high tones could only be reproduced by very good cassette decks and tape machines. That has shaped me to this day. So maybe my taste in sound doesn't match up with a young person who might put more emphasis on bass.

Thanks again Alan for a great review. When running in my boom plus at about 15% volume I got about 19 to 22 hours of continuous playback. When cranked up, generally playing varied rock at about 70% or slightly more, I could not get more than eight hours continuous. One intresting thing was if connected to a good power bank, it would double the playing time. (Just a little suggestion) Put on a Mark Knophler wig complete with headband stick your boom plus on about 65% vol and listen to Sultans of Swing at a distance of about 2 to 2.5 meters.

This time around I wanted a speaker that could really go loud and travel, and the MBP sure delivers there. I live next to a highway and the Flip 5 (understandably) didn't, but the Extreme 3 was hardly any better even! For the cost, that was a huge disappointment. Overall with Soundcore EQ + Android EQ I've been able to tune the MBP to a pretty good level to fit my taste and needs. I believe for the early bird price + volume, bass and travel, it's going to be worth keeping. For really QUALITY sound, may want to look elsewhere, but thats not to say this speaker can't sound pretty darn good itself after playing around. All depends on tastes and needs for it. Stick this thing in a corner of the apartment and the bass it creates is sure to get me a noise complaint in no time... haha.

I compared it to the normal motion boom and it sounded better with extended bass and highs.

Been doing A vs B comparison the past week with the Boom vs Boom Plus. Right out of the box, I was sure I'd be shipping the Plus back due to the forward harsh sound. Like Alan, I found it nearly unlistenable indoors. However now after a full week of HEAVY playtime, the sound has suddenly & notably sweetened! I now actually am enjoying detailed highs without silibance & a rich bass w/o too much punch (much moreso than the relatively high freq lacking, weaker bass, tinier sound of the Boom). Playing with my EQ settings has also helped to find my sweet spot (none of mine are max'd). I'm now stoked I kept the Boom Plus thru the lengthy break in period! Most speakers need a substantial break in before sounding their best. Waterproof titanium drivers, seem to need even more - which makes sense as materially they need to be stiff. I also believe Anker will be releasing a new firmware with an improved eq response in the near future.

i will be getting one just havent got it yet. my recordings aren't binaural 😭 they are near field so work over both headphones and speakers but the flip side is the imaging isnt as good as binaural.

The soundcore drivers are not actually titanium. They are just plastic being marketed as titanium. That’s kinds scummy of them
@alanrossreviews 2 жыл бұрын
well others have said this too. do we know for sure they are not titanium? i mean if they are not it goes beyond marketing and is simply a lie. but either way i think we get too carried away with the material specs when all that matters is how it sounds.

When it comes to comparing sony to motion boom plus it seems to me that sony sounds clearer and cleaner to me than soundcore. Soundcore makes up for the high bass and high volume 😜😜

a lot depends on the volume you play the xb43 at, it tends to change a lot with volume

Agreed re: tuning the boom plus has a TERRIBLE tune out of the box, and tweeters that are overly sharp. My main comment though, turn the bass DOWN. It's too much. It gives you a kicking. If you're going to complain that the bass is to heavy (agreed), but turn the bass down on your custom EQ! 😜
@alanrossreviews 2 жыл бұрын
Then its simply boring, go loud or go home, this speaker is nothing without its bass. If you are someone who wants to turn its bass down then this really isnt the speaker for you. Also turning the bass puts even more emphasis on the highs, ouch 🤪

@@alanrossreviews That's indeed the case, the tightness at first completely sold me ! And since I got it early, I was on the previous firmware that didn't have the 6khz peak. 👍 Now that I am on the latest firmware and that I spent some time with it, I have issues with highs, even if I still like the speaker overall. Especially since I reduced highs in EQ 😝 soft treble, but the speaker is not harsh 80% of the time now 😁

Honestly, when listening to things like jazz, the Sony sounds way better. The soundcore is focused on bass. When there is little to no bass, the speaker struggles and becomes a bit harsh on the ears
