soundcore - Motion X600

If this is something you fall asleep to, why not just get a small mains powered stereo system or even just powered speakers? You can always have a portable speaker as well. This would work better in a number of ways: * Better sound quality when used in your sleeping location, plus a portable speaker to use when somewhere else. A small portable speaker will have very little to no stereo separation (many of them are mono). * A stereo system isn't going to have a long press to turn on. Many portable devices will have this because they are designed to be transported and no one wants an accidental turn-on in their bags. Also, this seems like a very weird thing to be picky about and something you can get over with very little effort. * A home stereo will likely have a full function remote. * No need to worry about falling asleep with the stereo on. It runs on mains power. That said, this feature is often adjustable within the companion app of portable speakers. All of that said, if you insist on a portable speaker, I've liked what I've heard from Soundcore (some had a crap EQ preset out of the box, but once it was set to flat, the sound was far better). I'd go for the [Motion X600](https://www.soundcore.com/products/motion-x600-a3130011?ref=speakers), which has a short press to power on (long press to power off) and a 20 minute auto shutoff. Sony also has some nice options and I know that the ones I've tried are a short press to power on/off and had an auto power-off when the speakers weren't connected to power which could be turned off in the app: https://electronics.sony.com/c/wireless-speakers.

A lot of bass and full sound but can sound scratchy (a known defect) above 75% volume. The bass also peters out above 75% like most all of these BT boxes. They all sound shouty & grating (i.e terrible). But if you live within it's means, then it's fine. You're not getting audiophile grade here and the battery will die out one day and leave you with a $300-$400 brick. For this price you can get TWO x600s for $120 each at Costco Next, paired in stereo. The x600 sounds close enough and 2 units will destroy 1 Bose Max! 👍

The Charge has a bit more bass and volume vs Flip. Sony Ult 1 or 300 XE are nice items. I was able to try Ult 1; nice sound. Soundcore Glow, 300, 600 are good speakers too.

If you use the aux in then there should be no latency. Anker Soundcore Motion is quite good.

Hello, the Soundcore Motion is a great value option with excellent sound quality and aptX support, ideal for music production. The X600 and Boom Plus are also solid choices for immersive sound. Higher wattage (W) means louder volume, while higher kHz improves sound detail, but balance matters for overall quality
