The Soundcore Motion 300 is well worth using together; there are usually very good deals around $55. I have them, and for the price, they are well worth it.
**Motion 300** is currently very good value for money. I think it's the best you can get in that price range. Personally, I haven't tried the **select 3s**.
I've been using the soundcore motion 300 and it fits the bill nicely for me. Battery lasts, sounds good enough, has a bit of boom and is just the fight size. Has a nice feature where if you lay it flat it delivers Omni directional sound. It's at the lower end of your range but you can always send it back.
And a simple Soundcore motion 300 with some eq adjustment sounds noticeably better overall... For half the money. So much for recommendations
I liked the Motion 300 much more than the UBOOM L, but that's just my preference. It being flat makes it kinda easy to pack too, and it has a recessed power button, so it won't accidentally turn on in your bag. It's the small things..
Yeah I liked the sound of the 300 better, and I think the 300 is a better overall product. Look at my previous post on this subreddit.
Soundcore Motion 300? I really like it
I will probably get flamed for this, but the UBOOM X was definitely the best purchase of the year, great speaker for the €91 I paid. It can't compete with the JBL Boomboxes, but those are at least 3 times more expensive. I bought a Soundcore Motion 300 too, that thing is pretty good too. Feels and sounds very premium for a low price.
I’ve got loads of Bluetooth speakers and I would have to say that for the money you want to spend I would go Bose Soundlink Flex 2. Make sure you get the 2 though otherwise you won’t get the proper EQ controls. If you can stretch a bit further, the JBL Charge 6. I’ve got the Anker Motion 300 and I honestly don’t think it’s better than the Bose Flex 2 or JBL Charge 6.
What do you mean with portability? Able to transport it with a car? Able to place it with other stuff in a bagpack? Able to carry it on a cart like a fridge? Also depends on where you’d use it and how you’d use it. Obviously, those portable ones (to just fit with your stuff in the backpack), you won’t get dance floor thundering bass and rather a good background sound for a gathering with a few friends. If it’s for the backpack style (cause that’s what I’d consider portable) I wouldn’t go bigger than Jbl charge 6 size. Different brands have different signature sounds. I really like jbls, and the newer Sonys. Pretty much any soundcore speaker and Tribit and so on that I had in my hand, I wanted to tune them over their equalizer cause I didn’t like there profiles (I remember them as muffled) Sony field 1 is a great portable and sounds good. Same for flip 7 and charge 6. also worth looking at features other than sound and robustness. Soundcore motion 300 also one I remember with a really nice sound. From what I heard, if you go for a Jbl charge size speaker, looking at the difference to the next bigger one like Jbl xtreme or soundcore boom size, I would say the sound difference can be named almost irrelevant. There is more bass, yes, but not enough worth mentioning to me. So I’d say go either flip / charge size for spontaneously taking to shower and back, outdoors in your backpack, or Jbl boombox size if it has to be taken sometimes by car and needs a big bass for a lil dance round.
Not sure on US pricing however the Soundcore Boost may fit your needs, or the Motion 300 depending on how much that will cost you.
I've got soundcore motion 300 and is great, I guess Boom is much stronger
