"It’s fantastic out of the box, but the EQ settings I found online make it astounding for the price. Heavy bass and crystal clear clarity."
"Better bass than most speakers of similar weight if you are into EDM. ... In the sub $100 range the Soundcore motion Boom is still a contender if you like the bass."
"had significantly more powerful bass"

"Has app to do your custom EQ that you can load into the firmware. ... Original Soundcore motion boom has one driver (no tweeter) and you can cut the highs with the EQ app."
"You have more options to eq the Soundcore to your liking using their app"

"The little Tribit cannot do real bass and these budget speakers from Soundcore will not disappoint. ... I have a couple of the little Tribit xSound Gos and a Motion plus that are great for the size but grab a bigger speaker when I want to thump some bass."

"You just couldn't beat them for portability, I could stick two in my backpack and still have room for all my stuff, or take just one and forget that I was carrying it until I needed to charge my phone."
"also more rugged and waterproof! ... for travelling and parties having better waterproofing and surviving getting bumped to the ground is important as well."

"if I wanted to adjust volume and skip songs from inside the shower I would go with something small like the Stormbox Micro 2. ... If you don't mind setting the speaker on the floor, the larger speakers suggested in the other comments would be fine, but I personally would get tired of crouching over all the time to adjust the speaker down there."
"much bulkier and looks and feels cheapish"

"it produces white noise at low volumes"
I recommend the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom+. No latency when wired through the aux in. Probably similar price or cheaper than the Marshall. A friend of mine bought this one recently, his GF already had a Marshall Killburn. He says it's absolutely not close regarding sound quality and loudness. Marshall you pay for the brand name and the design. I've heard the Anker inside in my house and I didnt even want to test the full volume 😂 also more rugged and waterproof! You will have to buy a 2xRCA (Male) to 3,5mm audio jack (Male) cable of 1 to 3 meters, depending on your needs to connect.
r/Beatmatch • Marshall Kilburn for both small DJ Sets & portable Music? ->Well that's personal, what is 70-80% to you 😅 but for travelling and parties having better waterproofing and surviving getting bumped to the ground is important as well. You have more options to eq the Soundcore to your liking using their app, you can check online for some example eq settings.
r/Beatmatch • Marshall Kilburn for both small DJ Sets & portable Music? ->If you're looking for high volume and powerful bass, you'll have to compromise on speaker size. I had a Soundcore Motion Boom, which is significantly more powerful than the JBL Charge. But even that wasn't powerful enough for my taste, especially for outdoor use. I switched to the EarFun UBOOM X and couldn't be happier. Yes, it's big and weighs 4 kilos. I even transport two of them on my bike to private outdoor events. It takes some effort and hassle, but it's absolutely worth it. For me, the UBOOM X is the perfect compromise between size and sound. It delivers absolutely great, rich and full sound at volumes that are sufficient for me. A speaker with an even higher maximum volume that is larger and heavier would not be an option for me. However, I wouldn't want anything with less power than the UBOOM X. It offers so much more power than a JBL Charge, and even significantly more power than a JBL Xtreme, Soundcore Boom 2, or Tribit Lava. There are numerous sound comparisons on YouTube that prove this. You might find this video interesting. [https://youtu.be/YAj5BIASWL0](https://youtu.be/YAj5BIASWL0) Whichever way you look at it, if you insist on a compact size, you compromise on sound. End of story.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Looking for Very Loud Bassy Charge 6 Size Speaker in the $100–$200 Range ->The Motion Boom is well worth the extra cost. It rivals the JBL Xtreme 4. You won't regret it. EDIT: I don't know your personal care routine, but I would say that if you use the speaker while showering and occasionally outside, then you will use it very regularly.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Looking for budget with clear sound, bass, waterproof ->Why the downvotes? I had the Motion Boom and a friend had the Charge 5. Overall, the Motion Boom sounded better and had significantly more powerful bass. It's not far behind the Xtreme 4 and is available for a low price.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • JBL xtreme 4 or a JBL charge 6? I was also contemplating on getting the Bose SoundLink max but the battery life is kinda letdown from what I’ve read. What do you guys think? ->Soundcore motion boom has no delay papa
r/PioneerDJ • Portable Speaker Options to Pair With DDJ FLX4 ->Soundcore motion boom - good price, good battery and good sound
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best cheap speaker that is like a JBL? ->That must be really annoying. With the Bose Soundlink Max, I've also often read that the battery drains itself. With the Soundcore Motion Boom, which I have used for over two years, and with my two EarFun UBOOM Xs, which I have been using for a good 3 months, I have never noticed that the battery loses charge when not in use.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Which wireless speaker best holds charge when not in use? ->For this purpose and your price range, I can recommend the EarFun UBOOM X from my own experience, which is available for around $120. Thanks to the EQ, it can be perfectly adjusted for the situation in a small bathroom. I use it almost every day and am delighted with it. [Here ](https://ibb.co/1v6XFDX)it is, sitting on my bathroom cabinet. In the photo you can still see my old Soundcore Motion Boom next to it, which I'm currently trying to sell. With the UBOOM X I have almost as good a sound in the bathroom as with my audiophile hi-fi system in the living room.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best waterproof Bluetooth speaker of all prices for shower? ->With the Soundcore Motion Boom, you can activate an automatic switch-off function and mute the prompt tones. And it sounds nice too.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bluetooth Speaker for Sleep ->Love my soundcore motion boom. Havent dj’ed on it but its proper nice
r/Beatmatch • Best portable speakers? ->Which soundcore speaker? I feel like the soundcore motion boom sounds better than the Milwaukee speaker
r/Packout • M12 Packout Jobsite Speaker Review ->I lost my original Motion Boom and it was a stellar speaker. You could have it in your bedroom at very low volumes and still get good sound. I hear from alan ross the most recent ones are handicapped by worse components, but... \*beware\* the Boom 2. I made the mistake of buying it and it's just unsuitable for bedroom listening. It's like the amplifier is always running at full tilt even at low volumes, and it has a very noticeable hiss/whine. To add insult to injury it's not constant, it keeps turning itself on and off so you can't just ignore it. It might just be the component lottery, I don't know. So two "original" booms, even with the cost-cutting, \*might\* still be a good buy. You just couldn't beat them for portability, I could stick two in my backpack and still have room for all my stuff, or take just one and forget that I was carrying it until I needed to charge my phone. I miss it. That said... the Stormbox blast weighs a ton but it has an aux input, so it can be used for actually playing music, not just consuming it. It's too heavy for me to lug around, but it's a good all-round package. I'm still waiting for a good compromise: basically an original Motion Boom with an aux in.
r/WirelessSpeakers • Looking for the best speaker at the 100-150$ price range ->I would personally recommend the soundcore motion boom. Cheap and VERY good quality. It has outclassed my JBL clip 5 and is waterproof with a 20 hour battery life.(mine goes 1-2 weeks in between charges) very lightweight with amazing sound quality, it has titanium drivers to help prevent blow outs as well.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bose Soundlink Flex vs JBL Flip 6 ->Yes it is the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom. Sorry that took a while a didn’t see you had asked.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bose Soundlink Flex vs JBL Flip 6 ->If your need waterproof my Soundcore Motion Boom has been my killer speaker for 5 years. Originally got it for a float cause it’s waterproof, but now bring it with me everywhere for hang outs.
r/EDM • Best Bluetooth speaker? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
