– Anker Motion Boom Plus Bluetooth Speaker, Portable Speaker with 80W Booming Sound, IP67 Waterproof and Dustproof, Type-C, Custom EQ, Bluetooth 5.3, Outdoor Speaker For Camping

Wow! This is an amazing piece of kit. I have Soundcore headphones so I was expecting this to be good, but the sound quality, volume, bass and battery life are incredible. Bluetooth is seamless, exceptional value for money, good looking, clear as a bell and built to last. Have also used as a soundbar on my TV!

This speaker is seriously impressive. The sound is loud, clear and full of deep bass without distortion, even at high volume. The BassUp feature really makes a difference, especially for outdoor use or parties. Vocals and treble stay crisp and balanced. It is easy to carry with the handle and strap, and feels solid and well built. The battery lasts a long time and easily gets through a full day of listening, plus the power bank feature is very useful for charging a phone on the go. The waterproof and dustproof design makes it perfect for outdoor use like camping, beach days or garden parties. The soundcore app is simple to use and lets you adjust the EQ to your liking. Overall, it offers great value for the price and delivers powerful, high-quality sound in a portable package. Highly recommended.

The quality is very high, even for refurbished models. The value for what you get is seemingly too good to be true, with roughly 9 hours of battery life at full volume, and an extremely loud and full of bass sound, this thing can be heard from over 100m away! The sound is rich and powerful, and vibrations can be felt across the room. It is relatively light for its size, however can easily be slung over a shoulder or carried in a backpack. I have actually bought an extra since, and use them paired in wireless mode giving a very nice performance. The sound quality is surprisingly enjoyable across a range of genres however some consider it to give a “boomier” sound, it will not compete with any higher end and considerably more expensive and large portable speakers such as the JBL party box 710, but is on par with the JBL party box 310, albeit slightly quieter. After pairing two together however, it’s unbeatable for the price and is louder, nicer sounding and far more portable when you factor in its size and stereo sound mode. I have used this product both Indoors, for outdoor social events, and even for parties with multiple connected together, in fact we were visited by security due to the speakers shaking the walls! I highly recommended this product for anyone who wants a loud, deep and easily portable speaker! I highly recommend this product, and assure you that you will be very impressed!

I'm very particular about my sound and find it very difficult to gauge a product through the internet alone. I needed a portable speaker that was both Bluetooth and had aux in, it had to be light weight, and it had to have decent battery life with minimal charge time. All of this at a reasonable price and a high quality. After much research and deliberation, I decided to go with this portable speaker and feel like I've hit the nail bang on the head! What is curious about this item is the powerful subs (that can be turned on or off) for its lightweight design. I've heard many people dislike the cheapish design of the speaker but I'm actually a fan. It's minimal, non-intrusive with a sleekness to it. There also being no material on it means any dirt is easily wiped off. But most importantly, it feels like it allows the sound to move through the case with ease, much like open back headphones. The sound is powerful, punchy, clear at high and low volumes and caters for all genres. Mine specifically being Drum & Bass, a category seldom used in video reviews. I can't speak too much about the battery life as so far, I have not depleted the battery fully as I have always been near a charging point. And its waterproof & dustproof features are something I may not ever needed but have it on good authority that they are to standard. For the price & performance, I don't think you can get a better deal. Brands like JBL I think are overrated and brands like W-King are not worth your time (I did and immediately sent it back)

Just had mine delivered & have had a quick but fair extensive play with it for 30-45 mins or so & 1st impressions are, well, very good. Straight away though, the default sound-profile (set via the app you download from the App Store for your phone's particular o/s) needs changing. I'm no expert on using equalisers & to that end, wasn't really sure what I was doing but even in my ignorance with tweaking (the 9 controllable frequencies), I managed quite significantly better audio quality - from the stock "preset" one. Next, well it's pretty loud though if you want it loud loud (think Mickey Flanagan - "are we going out out??"), then you'll sacrifice that bass you may have just elicieted from tweaking the lil equaliser! Yer, sadly the sound quality changes a fair bit when the volume gets up there. Ok, there's a but there; BUT it's bloody loud enough with a great acoustic performance to easily fill a largish room - such that this isn't a big problem fortunately. So, I remain impressed. Next: well, even though I read reviews & saw pics before buying, I am surprised at how small it is. It's not that big & it's very light. The lightness (again, I was already aware this was one of its attributes pre-purchase) kind of make you feel it's a bit cheap - but then its absence of weight adds to its' portability & buoyancy (it floats in water). I think would have liked it to have felt a little heavier (say, with a larger battery - to get a guaranteed 24hrs regardless of volume settings - rather than I think a max of 20 I think from the specs). I'd have also liked some LED lights, similar to that of the Tribit but that speaker faired poorly in the sound quality stakes in review & good sound is fairly important for me otherwise, every time I use it - it'd annoy me & I'd switch it off. So summarised; it's pretty good. Check out "JerryRigEverything" on YouTube as he, er, "disassembles" one - there's not much inside it! Feels like it could be priced below £100 really, especially after seeing its' innards! I think this would be better at £99 all day (with occasional sales on knocking it lower-still - to £79). As it is, I paid £129 (& am aware it's been as low as £119 in the past). Just to give you a spectrum as to the audio quality that I'm used to; I have a Sennheiser "Ambeo Max" under my Lg G2 TV in the Log Rm & have a Naim "Muso" for the kitchen-diner - both of course have excellent credentials as speakers in there own rights - so my saying the Soundcore sounds "pretty / very good" - is actually fairly high praise indeed (next to those examples)! **Forgot to add; so I connected this to the LG (48A1 OLED a 2022 model-year) in the kitchen-diner as a Bluetooth speaker; it works great – not notable lag / speech sync issues & of course a great substitute for the built-in TV speakers (& with LG TV’s you can use both, just the BT speaker, or use the BT speaker as a rear speaker if you like).

I own the Soundcore Motion Boom (purchased due to mainly good reviews) which I was, and still am very happy with for its good sound, good bass and easy portability. I would compare it to the size of a lion cub, but with a roar on a similar level to its mother ! Its little size belies its output. BUT, when I saw the Motion Boom Plus being advertised, which I now call 'the daddy', it is bigger and heavier, bigger speakers, and has tweeters and an aux socket, of which neither are on the Motion Boom, and with it being considerably more powerful than the Boom, then this was a no brainer for me ! I received an email from Anker to buy an early bird coupon for £1 to get a discount code for a whopping £62 off. How could I refuse such an offer? Had to get it, and am very pleased that I did. As a music lover of various devices, and owner of a few 'old school' boomboxes that this Motion Boom Plus resembles, I have a massive personal music collection spanning back from the 80's, and I listen to a lot of YouTube music these days ( didn't take me long to build up a massive YT playlist) discovering so much music that I have never heard before. There is also the added option of the aux socket to plug in my ipod, portable cd/mp3 player or portable minidisc player, yes, minidisc player, and this powerhouse unit does not disappoint. Sound quality is as good as anything i've heard from a bluetooth boombox. I prefer clarity with all music, and the bass does not cloud or drown out the overall sound. Bluetooth boomboxes have come a very long way and are improving all the time with the sound quality and increased power output. Connection is quick and the Soundcore App (Play Store) lets you tweak the sound to your own personal taste, and you will need to do that to get the best sound out of it. It does make a noticeable difference compared to the standard 'out of the box' settings which sounded terrible. Battery life seems good so far, though not quite as long lasting as the motion boom, but that is not an issue. I have found that the bass can sound a lot weaker depending on where you place it, be it high up, medium level or low down, so it's best to move it around to find an area that hits the bass 'sweet spot'. Then you can get the party started ! I just wish the subs at the side had some sort of protection grills, not that I would put it anywhere where there is a chance it could get damaged. After all, I do have to look after my newly adopted 'daddy' with extreme care ! Overall, a highly recommended product by another happy customer.

Bought this a while ago and must say it still hasn't disappointed. The sound quality, bass and clarity are great. I've been using it in the garden in summer and love it. The battery life is good too. I

The speaker is amazing in every aspect and represents incremental improvements over the old model - Soundcore Boom. The review will be built around comparison between Boom and Boom Plus. Pluses/Improvements: 1) Even though boombox has become larger, the size of the boombox still fits into rucksack, sack with straps, on a shoulder strap or even carried in hand 2) Weight is around 2.5kg, you can still easily carry it using shoulder strap or just in hand; it is definitely not heavy being carried in a rucksack. I was carrying it for an hour in hand and did not get tired. 3) The body of the speaker is made from ABS plastic; you may think that materials used in Marshall or JBL speakers are more durable, but when you damage those premium speakers, there is not way to restore silicone, rubber or durable fabric; ABS plastic instead is still serviceable using glue, file or soldering iron 4) The bass button improves bass dramatically; the old model was producing muddy bass almost unusable to listen to; bass from Boom Plus is clean, tight, punchy, deep, powerful, impactful. However most of the bass is preserved around 80-85% loudness. When you exceed that loudness threshold, mids and treble overpower bass 5) When paired with another speaker, bass is becoming even more interesting; if you can afford 2 boomboxes, you should try it for yourself or check Youtube reviews 6) Speaker got rid of the early issues detected on the model launch in May-June 2022 - passive radiators being blown out during exposure to sun and summer heat; firmware update fixed piercing highs around 6-7kHz 7) "Soundcore Signature" sound profile visible as a sound graph within mobile application "Soundcore" got also updated/changed with the last firmware update and shines better than EQ recommendations from different vloggers and audio enthusiasts who are trying to improve the boombox sound using different tweaks and presenting them on youtube; this is the first time when "Soundcore Signature" preset produces better audio. 8) The speaker is capable of playing 7-8 hours using maximum loudness; decent medium specs in terms of battery life; 9) Passive radiators are submerged into the body of the speaker more prominently for better mechanical protection 10) The speaker produces large sound stage, sounds powerful and involving, almost euphoric; make sure to place it on a firm ground with a wall behind it for better bass and power sound; Boom has more narrow sound stage due to the size and wattage 11) Boom Plus features 80 watts of powers vs 30 watts from Boom, it is immediately noticeable and contributes to euphoric powerful sound and emotional attitude towards music; it is almost painful to listen to it inside the room on the maximum loudness and absolutely enjoyable outdoors; the sound is not painful at all in terms of proper maximum loudness level 12) Boom Plus features titanium main drivers and two tweeters producing pleasant clear crystal highs; previous Boom models had only 2x passive radiators and 2x mid bass titanium drivers; driver setup inside Boom Plus is represented by 2x25 watt mid bass drivers, 2x15 watt tweeters + 2x passive radiators 13) When I got my Boom speaker a yer ago, I also received a customer survey inside Soundcore app surfaced to those who has connected Boom inside the application; the focus of the survey was to receive customers opinion on the design of the Soundcore logo placed on the coming Boom Plus speaker grill with several photos having this logo small, medium or large covering the entire front speaker grill etc; back then I responded to that survey by saying that small company logo looks like a mouth, 2x mid bass drives look like eyes and tweeters appear to be ears of the "robot face", if you look into the driver setup behind the speaker grill ;-)) - I am glad that after a year I hold this very design in my hands and enjoy all this homework being done correctly. 14) Custom EQ is still at your disposal to play with speaker settings; builtin profiles are Signature Sound, Voice, Treble Boost, Balanced; you can still apply custom EQ settings and save them; trick discovered earlier in Boom model - move all EQ sliders up to the maximum, which makes speaker 10-15 db louder - is still in place but the sound is not that clear 15) Boom Plus features AUX port which was lacking in Boom model; now you can plug the boombox into your laptop, PC or smartphone using 3.5mm cable 16) Boom plus still features powerbank capabilities, Type-C charging input; the difference is that rubber plug that covers USB, Type-C and AUX port is sealing them better, is constructed and designed better with less risk to tear it apart over time Cons: 1) I wish the speaker had even more power 100-120-140-160 watts 2) not sure that ABS plastic is a proper material, for speaker Summary: Boom Plus has become everything that Boom could not do a year ago Note: please remove plastic covers from rubber stoppers on the legs of the speaker; the bass is so powerful that speaker moves by itself to the edge of the bench and may fall into the ground, if the plastic covers are not removed from rubber stoppers on which the speaker is standing.
