hello, do u hear any sound(deep sound) from treble speakers when the motion plus is opened?

[@Igor-vf9lh]

is it really that much better? I have Charge 3 and I want something more bigger(in terms of sound), I am thinking of Dockin D fine vs Anker Motion+.. So I am curious if this relatively same sized speaker can be that much improvement from my Charge 3.

[@jcdupuy4809]

"That much" is a bit oversaid. I loved the charge 3 bass which i find better than the motion+ but the rest of the spectrum was inexistant compared to the motion +. Also the high on the jbl tended to be a little ear piercing. The motion+ has more power, clearer sound, adj eq which males it better. Not that much better but much better 😀😀😀

[@rob-123]

I got both and the motion + has better sound with the highs and mids. The Charge 3 has bass but that's it and the bass is not really going to be any good on such a small speaker.

I actually have the same three speakers in my house. I ordered them and have been testing them for a week. My conclusion before finding your channel was the Motion + is providing me more versatility for the money. Personally the charge three sounded muffled and the charge four will never win my heart with that offset sound from the mono driver. For gods sake JBL at least put it in the middle?! Anyway thank you for the detailed breakdown of all three it was very informative and enjoyable to watch. As a former audio engineering student, I appreciate all the details. 👍🏼👍🏼

The frequency graphs really help illustrate what you are on about, and as a classically trained musician and audiophile, I appreciate the depths you go to in highlighting the differences. I was going for the Charge 4 or Sony XB41, but you introduced me to the Motion+, and I changed my mind. I am very grateful for this. I now have the Motion+ and I totally made the right decision... The clarity of sound is unmatched. Crystal-clear music to my critical ears!

This example is why I like the Charge 3 better. Even though the drivers are close together you still get a nice open sound quality that the Charge 4 simply doesn't have. That Motion + though it does sound good! I used to be a big Anker fan, I had the Anker Soundcore Boost which is an awesome speaker, but since I use my BT speakers so much I decided to give the Boost to my Dad only because the battery life on it isn't as good as the Charge 3's.

[@OrdinaryG33K-SF]

I have a Charge 3, and have mostly been happy with it all this time (about 4 years. Gosh, how time flies!). Sure, it sounds a bit muffled sometimes, but it's been a perfectly good speaker, that has suited me fine for the most part. I haven't even really felt like I was in the market for a new speaker. But this review (plus a few others I've seen on KZbin) have piqued my curiosity about the Anker, so I finally took the bait, and just got one. It arrived earlier tonight (haven't even taken it out of the box yet. Am looking forward to doing so, though). So I don't NEED it, but I bought one anyway, just because I'm curious! Now I'll have to figure out what to do with my Charge 3! It seems a shame to retire it completely. I guess I'll figure it out.

[@alanrossreviews]

hope you enjoy it. also we have the charge 5 now and it actually sounds like the charge 3 but with bass extension.

[@thefattmatt]

Hey Alan Ross Reviews - on the topic of the motion+ claiming frequency response up to 40khz... It can go up that high, but only when audio is being streamed at a high enough quality to the speaker... Many smartphones dont stream bluetooth at such a quality, making it only achievable with the correct device, and to actually measure it you need a microphone capable of such high frequency measurments. Thanks for another great video! The depth you go into when reviewing these speakers is great! Keep it up!

[@alanrossreviews]

Have you measured it or seen it measured? I said it was a silly claim because it rolls off from 12khz so how can it hit 40khz? I am of course talking within a sensible db range. If they are measuring within say 50db then that's a difference matter.

[@thefattmatt]

I have seen it measured. I don’t quite remember who posted the measurements or where. But yes, I do remember there is quite a rolloff.

Great videos. I really enjoy them. Just wanted to note, as you mentioned, its more than just the surface area of the cone or they call it Sd. You also need to consider the travel of the cone or Xmax. Sd x Xmax = Vd The higher Vd, typically means it can more air thus louder output (everything is else equal).

You can use a eq with the charge 4. Also, using an aux helps heeps when playing 24bit flac files off my s10 using BlackPlayer. The mono audio indoors doesn't bother me at all. Maybe a little with the amount of metal I listen to but it's very listenable in my opinion.

I bought the Flip 4 at first and for how small it is, it is really good! But then it suddenly skipped some seconds and muted them if I turned the volume to a certain point down. I replaced ot with a new one and same thing happened. The customer service from JBL was the worst! They told me that it would be my mistake cause I would use AUX input and they wouldn't be responsible to deliver a functional cable input at all!!! It was really the worst experience I have made with them cause they didn't took theor defect speaker back! Then I was looking for something better and I bought the Soundcore Motion Plus and boom! No problems at all, just everything was perfect! And the Bluetooth dely was way smaller than JBL had. And for me the soundstage and the power is much much better on the Soundcore than JBL Flip 4! Now I'm gonna upgrade to my second Motion Plus as soon as it goes on sale agin 😍

[@bennylehman7015]

Great review. One thing that needs to be clarified. Based on other tests of the Anker speaker, it seems that it "forgets" the eq settings each time you switch it off, no big deal, reset each time, but if using 2 speakers, then .... I assume it's an item that Anker can change via a software upgrade via the app?

[@alanrossreviews]

no that was fixed in a firmware a long time ago.

[@eltouristoduo]

Really like your approach!.. your good technical discussion should always be included with comparisons, but seldom is. Measurement equipment and methods are interesting to mention. Like I wonder if you use a calibrated mic. I wonder what the measurement tone was. You did mention pink noise and I guess you did sweeps too. Mono mic apparently, which is understandable, not a complaint really. There did seems to be some sound issues overall with the material, like somewhere it was getting datacompressed because those artifacts could be heard etc. Seems like Anker increased their price looking at it now in Nov 2019.

Another great video mate, I really enjoy the way you analyse these speakers and compare them to each other. Have you noticed any other quirks the Motion speaker might have in your daily use, like noticeable playback latency while watching videos, hissing at lower volumes, random disconnects, or anything similiar? I've noticed with a couple of these 'budget' companies, these quality issues seem to pop up more often, which of course makes sense. Anyways keep up the good work, your passion is coming through and is well appreciated. Cheers!

[@migks37]

Alan Ross Reviews it is my hope two flips 5 can offer this soundstage. I guess the charge 4 can’t shine in stereo because the lack of highs and mids, since the mids and highs are very important factors for a good soundstage sound.

Lots of people neglecting the stamina the Charge 4 has. The Charge 4 will last you 6-7 hours on full blast. The Motion Plus lasts 3-4 hours on full blast. I listen to metal and hard rock to give you an idea. If you work in a large warehouse, you'll want the Charge 4. The stereo sound from the Motion Plus is on noticeable if you're close to the speaker itself. The sound difference between the Charge 4 and Motion Plus is incremental at best.

[@alanrossreviews]

are you talking about custom mode on the m+. anyway we have the motion boom now so i would get that.

[@curtcodein6486]

I gave the charge 4 back the monospeaker is horrible i want to try the d9 really like this one

[@eddiekytia]

For around the size of the charge 3 and anker is the anker the loudest speaker or do you know of another speaker around the same size that's louder then both. I have the charge 3 I use on the handle bars of a electric bike and with a full helmet riding at 30mph it's not loud enough but I dont want something on my handlebars the size of the xtreme 2.... THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP

[@benoitpapineau2595]

Thanks man! Great review.. exactly what I wanted to see. Grr I just bought a charge 3.. I tried the c4...just can't live in mono! I'll keep the 3 and buy a Anker later ..il like their products can't kill my soundcore and I still use it because stellar battery life and the small size .. Hey btw what's the real life battery endurance of the motion vs the charge 3 at good volume? Like 3/4 something like that?(little party with beer style lol)I hate speakers with small battery life .. Maybe you said it but I got a short attention span I guess. Keep on trucking man!

[@DarkMasterX3]

With the money you spent on those you could buy a xtreme2, boombox or the partybox200. (All JBL)

[@JP-be9cx]

Would it be worth it to upgrade from Soundcore Boost to Motion+?

[@ThibautMahringer]

I have both and it's absolutely worth, bass is awesome on the Boost but it lacks clarity. The Motion+ doesn't disappoint in clarity.

[@thugis07]

You should get the harman kardon onyx studio 5 n try it out. BASS FOR DAYZ MANN

[@alanrossreviews]

mono with no stereo pairing?

[@thugis07]

Alan Ross Reviews Yh it’s mono but it’s sounds good trust me I doesn’t sound as good as the xtrerme 2 with the sound separation but the bass makes up for it sound like big like actual party speaker which it’s not

[@thefattmatt]

Doesn't matter. The bass is unmatched in size. JBL Xtreme 1 and 2 leave the party when they hear it. JBL’s boombox can go cry in a corner after hearing it.

[@jeremystone4139]

Thanks for the review. Bought a JBL charge 4 and returned it due to terrible sound quality. It was inaudible 5ft away from the speaker, and less so, if i was not directly in front of it. I listen to heavy as fuck B.A.N.D.S... Not Stripper music. Ordered the Anker Motion + due to its sound range, hoping i can listen to Converge at full Volume when it arrives.

[@alanrossreviews]

yup, use the custom eq for best and loudest sound

[@gauravchadha5370]

Sir i am confused between Motion + vs jbl charge 3 plz help

[@alanrossreviews]

Get the motion plus 😁

[@brasero20000]

Hi, i have bought the Soundcore motion plus. I have a problem with it and i want to know if it’s normal. When the battery gets low the music stop. I can still play it because there is still some battery. It plays 15 minutes stop the music again but the speaker doesn’t shut down itself, just stop the music !

[@alanrossreviews]

is it getting hot? mine doesnt do this unless over heating.

[@brasero20000]

Alan Ross Reviews i think i have solve my problem. I think it was because two selphones were connected by Bluetooth at the same time and it was causing interferences. I have another question regarding the EQ settings. Are able to record your Custom EQ settings so you have several Custom EQ settings ?

[@sinnavsinnav2626]

great review man

[@alanrossreviews]

Much appreciated!

[@noka5730]

Can anyone recommend a carrying case for the anker Motion Plus ? Since I can't get the original one. Would the case for the JBL charge 4 fit ?

[@pedromurakoshi6538]

On Aliexpress they have some cases that can fit motion+ perfectly

[@ChristianParkesArt]

Damn I had to pay £109 for the Motion + on amazon. Cheapest I can find it new on amazon atm was £99 for the black. I bought it in blue. Gone up a lot since this video was made :-/

[@alanrossreviews]

I still see 25% off deals on amazon for the black 🖤

[@ChristianParkesArt]

@@alanrossreviews Really? Amazon are tricky I only see a cheaper one when you take out platinum card. Can you send me a link?

[@alanrossreviews]

hum, yeah today i dont see it. give it a few days they keep having that deal.

Good review!

[@alanrossreviews]

excellent comment 👍

[@helderpereira693]

Charge 3 beter them charge 4? I love the bass of the charge 3, with the charge 4 I don't feel the bass as in the other two. Anker more bass. But I dont know. All sound of soundcore it's in from of the microphone recorder. And the two JBL have the sound turned to the left and for the right clearly far away of the microphone recorder. That's make many difference. The soundcore without bass evidence the noise of the music, and that doesn't happen with the both JBL, maybe because of the distance between the microphone and the lateral speakers in the case of the JBL speakers, I don't know. They are all nice equipment's.

[@helderpereira693]

But change the music change everything 🤣

[@alanrossreviews]

its only audible if you actually have your ear to it.

[@luqmanooo5402]

Alan Ross Reviews sometimes i love to turn on speaker for hours without playing music i am afraid this speaker will not suitable for me as i put the speaker near my bed...do you think this speaker suitable for me?

Alan Ross Reviews I am looking for 100$ below speaker for my relaxation and jazz and i am looking for something that clear and not too bassy just want speaker that have the clarity u know... May i get a suggestion from you what you like the most if you want to relax and enjoy jazz

[@alanrossreviews]

@@luqmanooo5402 on that budget i would still get the motion plus.

[@theearthisbread]

The motion plus is on a whole other level.

[@alanrossreviews]

its the speaker of the moment!

[@theearthisbread]

Alan Ross Reviews haha definitely! Is it already possible to save your own EQ settings within the speaker as it wasn’t possible yet when it came out.

[@stevepatrickjarvis]

Here in Canada I bought a UE Megaboom 3 (for close to 300 dollars as well as a UE megaboom 2 for 150. I found the the Megaboom 2 much louder than the Megaboom 3 but it was stolen from me while I was working one day so I bought the soundcore Motion+ and for its price I am happy with it. It sounds clearer and louder than my Megaboom 3 and about as loud as the Megaboom 2 I had.. Motioncore+ wins.

[@alanrossreviews]

and the boom adds deep bass 🤗

[@raymundangeles5949]

T6 plus upgrade ang motion plus review please .

[@alanrossreviews]

t6? tronsmart?

[@tzmathew]

Is the motion+ completely latency free ?

[@alanrossreviews]

for streaming like youtube? there is a tiny bit of latency?

[@tzmathew]

Yeah I meant for stuff like KZbin. The tribit xsound go I have had the worst latency and the video races ahead of the audio. The xiaomi mi speaker is a lot better but not perfect. The Doss Soundbox XL I have is the most lag free video audio sync I have experienced so far.. Was wondering where the motion + lies with regards to this ...

[@MrTuniy]

Now I have Motion + speaker. It is amazing. But ı have an issue :( When I connect it to my computer's usb port and connect with aux cable together at the same time. There is an annoying high rustling sound. But it is gone when connected to wall plug charger. Is there anyone who is experiencing the same issue?

[@TaimoorHabib]

That's because the components inside your PC produce a lot of electrostatic interference, which is in turn transferred to the speaker, as audible hiss or rustling noise. Combining AUX & USB charging increases the noise. Better to use the wall plug, because it most probably grounds all that interference.

[@garryh3126]

Make your mind up.
