soundcore - Motion+

Yes, that's pretty obvious but they're probably still the best options. Only thing that could be better than that is BT speakers with 9 band eq's since you can make them sound however you want. Like, i have a lot of speakers, but my most preferred ones are the Earfun Uboom L and Soundcore motion+ because they have 10 and 9 band eq's. Obviously the hardware needs to be on point too, but that's the best audio you could get, AND the Soundcore also has a hi-res códec.

I don't think it's posible to do that with the Sony. The Soundcore on the other side is the best speaker i have for the size, with a good EQ you can make it absolutely shine, it sounds amazing, i don't know why would you say that it sounds unpleasant. You're probably using it with the default EQ.

No problem, and yeah though it is technically true that if you use it at 50% volume it could last you 12 hours, a speaker that sounds so good just makes you want to crank up that volume! If you want any opinions/recommendations though, right now my favourite and the one that i'm gonna stay with is the Earfun Uboom L (i've had Soundcore motion 300, JBL flip 6, Sony ULT Field 1, Soundcore Motion+, JBL Charge 5, etc). You might be surprised, but that single 10 band equalizer is what makes it so good, because you can have the clarity and brightness of the Flip 6 while having the strong deep bass of the Ult Field 1. Just to compare, it goes deeper and way louder than the ULT Field 1, and i think that on indoor Mode it has a deeper bass than the Charge 5, while in outdoor mode it gives an amazing party soundstage, and i also think that it goes the same loudness of the Charge 5, at least with high volume equalizers. The battery life is a bit better than the Sony too!

I'm very happy with my Soundcore Motion+. Fits very well in my backpack, generally great bang for the buck (and size).

Honestly you're right to be suspicious. It's just no way to perfectly vet against Astro turfing some degree of support on Reddit. And anybody that does reputation management or PR for corporations knows that it's pervasive. Others, however, I'll probably sincere but they're just overly emotional or protective over a brand or maybe they recently purchased something and spent a lot of money. And so there's naturally a sort of confirmation bias.  But yes I think you're right to be suspicious.  And in general a lot of the conversation of these products are driven by social media and YouTube commentary and there there is almost a direct correlation between affiliate marketing frequency and the The amount of times these products get mentioned.  Doesn't mean they're bad I mean some consensus picks are really good deals. 2019-20 motion plus and boom we're almost universally beloved for instance and I think with good reason because of the value. The newer products from the same company, even ones with the same name released with different firmware and drivers, are more divisive

Excellent answer! Very helpful information and unbiased response. I have the Motion Plus and have a friend who works in a restaurant kitchen who said that the volume and clarity of sound from my speaker would be perfect for him.

I can only speak for owning mostly soundcore gear and its done me super well. $80 ish motion+ still slaps years later with EQ bass is better than my friends pricier speakers indoor and outdoor sofar. I has good projection and a wide directionally. I haven't experience 180° (or 360°) speakers. Also a big fan of soundcore boom 1 and boom 2. Biased fan boy I've only heard 1 tribit speaker years ago that was much smaller and I didn't get to fiddle with EQ for whatever reason

Haha I thought you were saying this sarcastically, because it totally defines the motion+ (I think). Hard to really know because I only have the motion+. I'm pretty obsessed with it

Gotcha! I wish I've heard the 300, I almost scooped it. I actually bought the motion+ very recently instead of the 300 (and other contenders). The tl;Dr is I like the motion+ alot, and I'd either get 2 of those and stereo it, or 1 more 300 and stereo it. Especially if you don't have a good reason for more separate setups (like leaving one at work, one at home, for example). In case this gives any idea: I've had a Boom for the past 5 years. I like alot of genres but really love dumby thick bass. Tweak EQ alot but I settle around the Alan Ross setting that everyone uses, with a few levels raised because of some ranges I'm deaf to I love the boom heartily, but.. i instantly liked the motion+ sound more. I've used it at a small hangout indoors, and about 20 8-hour shifts in a large lobby at work for jazz/classical. The hangout had artists from all genres. This thing just THROWS sound and has a really cool presence. It also just seems to get immensely loud if you want it to. The bass never has the Booms effect but it surprised me with its power, and how much the clarity of the bass changed the vibe of most tracks. Like it's track to track based on how they're actually produced, its not just genre, but on alot of tracks I preferred the sound and feel of the motion+. There's so many factors here that make my experience here irrelevant, but there it is. Possibly my Boom is old and damaged and I don't even realize it.

I had it too but returned it. I really felt the need for an EQ App because the bass really lacked for those specs... The lights are way too simple too. I bought the Soundcore Motion + for around 65$ and the bass is really on another level with the right EQ

Technically, you can do stereo sound while wired jack with the soundcore motion plus, but that’s kind of useless, like with any Bluetooth speakers you won’t hear any difference between 16 bit and 24 bit FLAC

I have the soundcore motion + and I love it

Soundcore Motion+. Can be had for $70 on sale and has a really good sound. It's a classic. 👍

Soundcore Motion+. This will be an almost unanimous decision here on this board

YES came here to say the same thing; it’s best if you can try it out in a store to see if it will have latency or not when wired
