Anker Soundcore Motion + Review!

[@HigzyTeflon]

Soundcore Motion+ is an excellent sounding speaker BUT you do have to EQ it in order to get the most out of it. Otherwise, don't bother.

[@stealthis]

I returned mine for this reason. I'd rather not be messing with it 247

[@grimsquad273]

The EQ is not magic. I thought if I messed with this magical EQ app I would get hi res crystal clear sound…NOPE. I tried Alan Ross’s and I’m just not feeling anything from this speaker… I don’t know… I listen to edm/house so maybe that’s why? When I buy a JBL the bass slaps and the mids/highs always sound decent! If you don’t want to be experimenting with the EQ in other words… if you don’t have obsessive compulsive disorder avoid listening to the soundcore bots, it’s hot garbage 🗑️

[@3Toy]

So I want a easy to cary speaker someone pls recommend - is motion 300 good or there is something better for the price range. I wish it had 3.5 mm …

[@3Toy]

@@stealthisDoes it not remember the eq settings ?

[@HigzyTeflon]

@@3Toy It depends. How much are you looking to spend?

[@waynedexter]

Please invest some time to fiddle with the customizable EQ. In my opinion that’s the only way to make the SoundCore Motion+ worth it.

[@stealthis]

It shouldn't be so poor out of the box. Why does it have no treble?

[@tsotighguy]

@@stealthis because you didn't EQ it LOL!

[@Deebohuncho]

@@tsotighguy that’s the point. Shouldn’t have to rely on an EQ to make a speaker sound good. If that’s the case, you can make most speakers sound good with a custom EQ

[@tsotighguy]

@@Deebohuncho Lol it's not a good point tho. If "most speakers" function well with an integrated app & access to EQ then that should factor into their overall appeal. If "most speakers" sound good with EQ then good for them. But I don't hear about them being better than Motion+ even with that. That being said, my JBL Flips 4 & 5 were never as good as my Motion+, even when EQd.

[@arslan_yarqin]

With EQ settings getting best speaker for price

[@ryo-kai8587]

I would say it's impossible to make a review that does the Soundcore Motion + justice without equalizing it... the EQ coupled with the separate tweeters really set this thing apart and you can get it to sound like it costs at least twice the price with some fine-tuning. Seriously, tweak it until it sounds as good as possible and then compare it to similarly priced speakers again.

[@la196]

Glad you mentioned that as when he showed the app, all the eq settings were flat:) I was hoping he'd tweak it and say, "there, thats more like it". LOL Good review. I just bought the Motion+ less than an hour ago just for something to listen to my playlists while working in the yard. Looking forward to it:)

[@la196]

I’ve had mine for a little while now, sounds great. Just like anything else, home receiver, infotainment system in the car, being able to adjust the EQ makes a significant difference. IMO:)

[@_voidwreck_]

Thats a good point⚡

[@DoctorHoque]

Exactly,I also use custom EQ

[@bopiangM]

@@DoctorHoque where do u find eq settings ppl shared

[@paul_0218]

I would say nothing beats the MOTION + once tuned well on it's Eq. I have two of them and boy do they sound GOOD! And here is a little thing I did to my MOTIONS +, I opened both of them and added more ceiling for air tight and it dramatically upped the deep bass! Plus, they sound way more cleaner than before. I'm just saying from my experience, those are some SOLID BUYS you don't even need to think twice; take it from me!! And oh, make sure to find them a good corner to place them, Ankers are built for that 👍👍

Thanks for the great review ! The jack input on this soundcore speaker is really a good point. Unfortunately the Bose or the Marschall haven't :/

[@ImzhurdiHalyaki]

I have JBL Charge 5, Flip, and 2 units of Motion+! You can't review it without tuning the EQ. Out of the box, the sound quality is flat, nothing special. But when you tuned the EQ, this is the best BT Speaker for the price! Nothing beat the Motion+ for the price even my Charge 5! The stereo, aPtx, sound separation, everything is balance and perfect..!

[@tsotighguy]

Glad I didn't base my purchase off this review. With EQ all the issues mentioned go away LOL!

[@acuras86]

Agreed....one needs to use the custom eq setting on the soundcore app. for a flatter response, to allow for a more balanced sound. However, I have no knowledge or equipment on how to do this other than by ear. So, instead I rely on youtubers settings found on Alan Ross reviews or Mr. Cow...who have this knowledge and equipment to achieve getting the flatter response. It sounds really good, after making the easy adjustments resetting the eq. from either of these two sites.

[@jacquesdupontd]

Just ordered one as new with a cover in coat for 60 euros, i think it's a good deal

[@jacquesdupontd]

Received it, it's amazing for that price with the good EQ (Mostly a V shape with last firmware, 45.XX)

Salut, c'est quoi le meilleur paramétrage d'EQ pour cette enceinte bluetooth ? Sur l'application il y a plusieurs modes. Merci!

[@jacquesdupontd]

@@Yo-vv7iy I'm still testing in different conditions. I'll get back to you when I find what I think is the best

[@mirceaar7988]

Had the Motion+ and a JBL Charge 5 (50% more expensive). Tested them side by side. Out of the box the Charge 5 sounds better than the Motion+, hands down. Once you get to use the EQ for both of them, well, things change. For my ears, the Motion+ has better detail, once you tune its EQ to your taste. The Charge 5 is good, but for me, ut had to go. It's great for party music, and its EQ app does it justice exactly for that. But if you prefer detail and structure the Motion+ is better. Not by.much, but it makes a difference.

[@Yo-vv7iy]

Hi, do you mind sharing me your EQ settings ? thanks!

[@shishirkhadka6114]

Bro u lien motion plus is in different level

[@shishirkhadka6114]

Ok

[@alexlittig7927]

you think the marshal emberton sounds better then the motion plus? you must ether be deaf or this whole video is a joke. just throw in a decent custon eq on the soundcore and its beating every speaker you have there. the emberton has the worst sound iv heard in a speaker in years. returned it the next day. the bass is severly lacking and its very distorted at max. the motion plus has far more bass and plays far deeper and has more cleaner highs. the only other speaker you have of good quality is the flex. that thing has great controled bass unlike there tribit. tribit reallty messed up that speaker with the rear bass radiator noise. iv had two of them, both did it bad. makes them unusable.

[@rubric_ra]

Ikr? 🤣

[@rubric_ra]

This snob is just a sucker for brands 🤡

[@LowkedOut]

Couldn't agree more. I have had other speakers like the Sony xb33, Marshall Emberton, Flip 5, Charge 5, Tribit Xsound Mega, Bose Flex and the Soundcore Motion +. Out of all of them that I tried I fell in love with the Soundcore Motion Plus after getting it EQ'd and the Flex for it's rather warm and pleasant sound. The motion + for it's size is really good and does go pretty deep and definitely is louder with little to no distortion.

[@pixelreflectorpro]

It's almost like people have Different hearing Different opinions And different tastes in sound The Marshall has a better soundstage and can extend more in the highs the emberton II has a even better soundstage and can extend even higher. Verdict: these speakers are better in their own ways

[@zahriatan1946]

On the preset it came with? It's rather flat yes. Use the equaliser and for me I just use my LG V30 music app equaliser in fact I just use one of the presets that's on the app and the sound is like night and day. Lesson is if you want to hear the best sound out of the Motion+ you have to tweak it and get a good music source like the LG V series phone which still can be found on the cheap. I've tried many other phones and they don't compare. Of course you can buy the many expensive DAP on the market. Still the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom sounds slightly better overall to me because it's bigger and has a bigger sound and bigger bass. It's slightly cheaper to boot. You have to tweak the sound just like the Motion+ to get the best sound of course.

[@RaviKabra-m1k]

Which is best one between soundcore motion plus and tribit stormbox pro

[@netoman656]

This guys just lies!! the motion plus sounds way better than the Marshall emberton, I had the emberton II and it sounded nice in rock music but the bass really sounds muffled and low compared to the motion plus. The motion plus has 4 active speaker, you equalize it and sounds way better than the marshall.

[@sgx5481]

@ :55 --- Actually, it has 2 passive radiators; one in the front and one in the back. If you'll notice there's an opening in the back --- that's to let the bass thump out from the passive radiator that's hidden in the back. You get tons of BASS. :)

[@anthonylipke7754]

My first impression was the other speakers felt hollow to me and the soundcore sounded complete. Maybe thats flat.

[@OgHazeKiller562]

I just ordered one you guys think this is better than the UE BOOM 3?

[@MW-qv5ox]

I agree with your assessment. Even with eq’ing the motion+ it doesn’t achieve the natural warm sound of the Bose flex no matter what you do.

[@mungwatk]

At that price?

i know this is old , but which would you say has the most accurate studio like sound. [ have jbl lsr305s and am addicted to the hq sound and want that in a bluetooth portable speaker]

[@LousyFacelift]

I'd say the Motion + sounds almost painfully flat out the box, so you might like it... The eq makes it incredibly flexible. It has a 3,5 mm aux input and it even plays back high resolution aptX audio - great value for money and pretty loud for a 30 Watts speaker...

[@mikeriverajr4447]

@@LousyFacelift a perfectly flat speaker would equate a literal perfect representation of what was recorded . . in other words it would be impossible to distinguish a live saxophone or singer from the play back speaker in a blind test. .I struggle to understand how a perfect representation of the original source is considered boring or painfully flatt ??? No one say to a live saxophone player that there live sound is painfully flat. . . if the speaker perfectly reproduces its sound there is zero difference

[@LousyFacelift]

@@mikeriverajr4447 Well, no. The speaker is not the only relevant part in the signal chain. How many microphones do you know that capture sound absolutely perfectly? What I meant to say is - out of the box without eq adjustment the Motion + will sound very underwhelming to listeners looking for hifi quality, it doesn't seem to emphasize a particular frequency range and even sound slightly unpleasant in the range in which the human ear is more sensitive. You can't help but use the eq in my experience but it's very adjustable and get you there if you want hifi.
