I use (2) soundcore motion boom plus in paired mode. Waterproof and float for kayaking too
soundcore motion boom plus if you can afford an extra 30 bucks
skull candy barrel xt, soundcore motion boom plus
i havent had that one before but from the 2 big ones i have i like the skull candy better from the bass alone. they are both equally as loud but the soundcores bass isnt as deep but still good and its treble is smoother it also has an eq. if you value deep bass skull candy is the winner if you value smoother treble and having an eq then soundcore is the winner
skull candy barrel xt, this one i got for $67 new. its the loudest and has the deepest bass of all that i have. its a jbl boombox competitor. you can find these on market place or walmart cheap.
Both my MotionBoom+ and Flip 5 have fallen into my hottub repeatedly with no ill effects.
I have the soundcore motion boom plus and it has no delay for this exact job. It sounds great. But it's abit of a bigger speaker., although still portable. Check it out
Can confirm, thanks! This is perfection for getting started out and doing small house party gigs. Plus it's awesome for portable general use for something more than the smaller speakers.
Nice review, thanks. Imo, the weight of a portable speaker is 2nd in importance only to it's sound quality. We are very active in the outdoors, so I haul my 2 boomboxes (motion boom plus) all around boats, camp spots, beaches, ski resorts, backyards... They are not only light enough to simply grab n go, but also much much less prone to breaking when dropped or falling vs something heavier.
Well it is a cheap plastic speaker that looks and feels like it was put together in a poor remote Chinese factory. While the sound quality isn't bad by any means, it's really not anything impressive, so sorry not everyone is blown away this speaker. I would take my HK Onyx Studio 7, Motion Boom Plus 2,Sony XG500, or even the Stormbox Blast over this any day. The highs and mids are flat and lifeless and while the bass is without a doubt impressive, it is boomy and muddled and overpowers the music on certain tracks. It is a decent speaker at low to mid volume depending on the type of music. If you want to get upset and insult my ears, feel free, but my opinion stands. This speaker will collect dust until I find someone to pawn it off on. Maybe they will enjoy it as much as you think everyone else should.
I liked indoor+ and outdoor tbe most. I also tried my own custom EQ to see if I could match it to my preferences, and could never get it there like I can with other speakers. Considering the Studio 7 is my favorite of the speakers I own, the fact you find it a joke is pretty ironic in itself. None of my other speakers reach the depth of sub bass that speakers does and it is not overpowering. I will concede the Boom x matches second place for sub bass with the XG500 i own, but it gets overpowering and muddy sounding with certain songs. The Boom 2 plus has the least sub bass and can get distorted at high volumes, but I use it for my shower and it works a treat in there. Everyone has different ears and preferences to sound. The Boom X still beats out a lot of speakers I've tried, but overall its just meh to my ears and it still looks and feels like one of the cheapest around.
I have the sound pre motion boom plus and just bought and now have a motion boom 2 plus and both are great at the price point.
I had four Motion Booms, A motion Boom Plus and a Tribit Blast. The blast was best for deep bass. Gave away the heavy Blast to make room for the lighter Earfun UboomX which is $109 at amazon and supposed to match the output of the Blast & Blast2.
I am not ever going to put a 25lb Partybox 120 in a backpack! Hauling around a 12 lb Tribit Blast was bad enough. The 35lb Soundbox is lightweight for a battery powered PA speaker but only needed for really noisy outdoor events & big parties . Overkill for most IMO. The 5lb Motion Boom Plus had a good power to weigh ratio. (Half the weight of a Earfun UboomX).
Yes! I had an original Motion boom plus and it was the best of the speakers on your list but the $130 Earfun Uboom X has deeper bass if that is important to you.
The Motion Boom Plus is 5.6 lb Boombox that is twice the size of the Charge and gets louder which is nice when on the highway and the 90db of road noise drowns out little speakers. I used the one I gave to a buddy on a month long road trip and it rocked the car and campgrounds quite well. Tribit Lava is another 5.5 lb speaker to look into and both it and the Soundcore are way less expensive than the JBL Extreme. That is the JBL model that competes with these other mid sized "high value" speakers . The Motion Boom Plus 2 is even louder but at 8.4 lbs has to compete with the 9lb. Earfun Uboom x which is a better speaker imo.
The Soundcore Booms are great speakers for the size and weight and really great when you factor in the cost. You may just want to grab a second one for parties and wider stereo. The next big step up is the Earfun Uboom X. Not as portable as a Motion Boom because of the extra weight but the bass output is unbeatable for the money. Sounds nice and you can EQ it to sound even better. I would love a Brane X for the small form factor and deep deep bass but $500 is not chump change! You can get a pair of Motion Boom 2 's for $140 and pair of Uboom X speakers for under $300.
Try the new firmware update for the Lava. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y2FyR2ZI-k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y2FyR2ZI-k) The exaggerated deep bass on the Onyx is going to be hard to tame in a small room. Sounds great in big rooms imo. I would put the Onyx in the living room and keep the Earfun for outdoor parties but I like to have a quiver of speakers on hand for every occasion. You have good speakers but they are so close in size that it would be hard to decide which one to keep. I found that the soundcore boom's and Mifa Wildbox that I currently own do not work in the bathroom as well as smaller speakers. (Soundcore motion Plus ftw!) Is the Tribit Lava good in the bathroom or is the bass boomy on that one too?
I've used both the Soundcore motion boom plus and boom 2 plus and honestly they both hit pretty hard. the boom 2 plus has really strong bass, especially for rock or metal type of songs and the motion boom plus is a bit more balanced but still punchy
