Soundcore is a great speaker has friendly price and a wise choice to buy but JBL is just on another level even it sounds hard the highs is clear somehow still has the clarity even mono speaker and that deep kicking bass is killing it..

[@rog86]

When the soundcore has been EQ adjusted, im sure it wpuld outperform the jbl by a long way. I have a soundcore and it sounds bad wothout EQ. With it, its a completely different speaker. Its a shame this video didnt mention that. Not a very goos video really.

[@ki8417]

Soundcore doesn't have signature if they got EQ.. I would still keep the charge5

[@prodbyzkhg]

@@ki8417 with the right EQ it doesn't matter if it doesn'tt have the "JBL" sound. It turns into another speaker completely.

[@prodbyzkhg]

@La Olmera sound to everyone is subjective. By not giving you the best sound on purpose, you are given the chance to tune the speaker to your liking.

[@prodbyzkhg]

@La Olmera you say that IF the motion+ cannot be tuned to sound better and the sound out of the box is the sound you are stuck with. if you don't like the way a speaker sounds, then don't buy it, unless it can be changed to your liking. (in this case the motion+ can) even oluv's gadgets gave it the bluetooth speaker of the year award! (not something many bluetooth speakers can get)

[@jacquesmarsacq7840]

We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning kzbin.infoUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.

[@marym8799]

I just bought 2 JBL Charge 5 speakers and 2 Motion Plus and compared both pairs in stereo mode. To be honest with you, very tough choice. Most tests and reviews were done with just one speaker against each other. Two of each Made big differences in my opinion. JBL could have won if playing mono against Motion+. However, in stereo mode, both of them came close with each other. Motion+ reminded me of listening to music in hi resolution. The vocal was just right in my face. Mid and hi were very well control. Bass is not as strong as JBL but still very puchy. Very well balance speakers. Watching movies, you can hear everything from pin drop to explosion. Character's voices were so clear. On the other hand, the pair of JBL has lots of bass. It reminded me of 3D sound. Soundstage was incredible. Watch movies, I could feel the rumble sometimes. If you preferred clear mid and high and a little brighter sound, Motion+ is for you. If you like more bass and warmer sound, get the Charge 5. But whatever you choose, please try it in pairs, you won't regret it. Another thing I forgot to mention, the connection. Both of them are not as good as them claimed to be. JBL tried to advertise that you can chain 100 speakers together. Well, I already have trouble with just 2. If you only used just one speaker then it's fine. 2? The connection between the speakers were like hit or miss. Sometimes it can go for hour without problem. Unfortunately, more often than not, the connection keep dropping every 5-7 minutes and it was very annoying. For speakers that claim to be able to connect 100 of them at a time, this is terrible. The app doesn't help much either. In face, to connect 2 of them in stereo mode requires too many steps and Jbl didn't explain well enough. Took me a lot of trial-and-error to get it right. First of all, you only need to pair just one speaker to the phone. Pair both of them to the phone and the app will get confuse. After the first speaker connected, hit the chain button on both speakers and let them find each other. Turn on the app and press and hold chain buttons on both speakers to connect them to the app. Go to the app and click on + sign to enable the speaker inside the app and choose between party or stereo mode. All of this can be done on Motion+ by just clicking the bluetooth button on the second speaker for just one time and that's it. So, for how easy it is to setup, Motion+ won by a long shot. Although, the Motion+ pair also drop the connection between them every once in a while as well. Also, the motion+ has microphone while the Charge 5 doesn't have one. The app for Jbl doesn't do anything but switch between stereo and party mode. If connect the speakers to a computer then you can't even play the stereo mode at all, only party mode is available. Motion+, on the other hand, can play both modes no matter what you connect them to because you can toggle between L-R R-L and party by hit bluetooth button twice. Soundcore app is also very useful. All I have to do is set the EQ into V shape and the sound was improve to the point that it can go toe to toe with the Jbl.

So glad that anker motion+ can handle lower bass frequency in lower volume. when pushes in high volume, it's more on upper bass. I have this two speakers, in terms of outdoor loudness, the motion+ is more louder. Charge 5 looses its bass in high volume simple because it doesn't have upper base, and the driver empower the mids and high.

[@ErinskiEasy]

There was no contest when it came to the outdoor performance which I think JBL realized that was going to be the primary use case for their speaker. But I must confess that for a proper flat indoor response the motion + won

Got a Soundcore Motion Plus for $70 Amazon Black Friday deal. Wasn't blown away but liked it enough to order a second while the sale was still going on. Wow two paired up sound awesome! Then I downloaded the app and adjusted the eq to my liking, sounded even better! Definitely worth the $150 (after tax). Another added benefit is they're the perfect height to put in front of my tv for sound bars.

Thank you very much, I have not seen a better quality test, the microphones picked up the signal well. Of course, JBL is a professionally made device by a well-known music company. It is technically thought out and its 2 speakers play more naturally than Soundcore Motion Plus. The only thing with a little extra bass. But Soundcore Motion Plus also has an equalizer and maybe it can be used to better adjust the sound.

[@blueherky]

I like a balance sound out of my speaker. Some things JBL Charge 5 can not compete with soundcore motion+ : Stereo sound with HiRes,app with presets and customized EQ, audio codec (SBC vs Aptx) and 3,5mm aux and the price. Motion+ wins easily.

Having had the Motion Plus for 2 years and the battery still going strong I still marvel at its great value for money as its sound and built quality is comparable to much more expensive speakers. JBL just sounds too metallic for me and I never really liked it and it's too expensive for the quality of sound for me. To each his own but I saved money for my listening pleasure.

​@La Olmera Nope, it is tuned very flat out of the box so you can adjust it to your taste. All of these JBL speakers have very metallic shrill sound, which may not be an issue for some, especially liking some EDM music but the biggest problem is how boxy it sounds. It simply sounds like it looks - a box without any sound dispersion. I was very much suprised by only one motion + and now in full stereo mode it is very enjoyable and convenient even when you own some really nice higher-end dedicated components. Why not give it a chance?! Right? JBL may be good but I'm not sure for the asking price.

Hi guys I'm looking into getting a pair of speakers to use them in my back yard to get a "surround sound" feeling to it. I will be placing the speakers around 22 feet apart from each other. Will the Soundcore Motion work like that and give me that effect thru blutooth by using my cell phone? Thank you.

[@shaktastik]

Hello mate, as far as I know the Motion plus has no option to add more speakers to it, but there are apps that allow you to broadcast to multiple speakers, unfortunately with this there will be a sound lag and the speakers may not play music in synch. So you are better off buying a couple of JBL Speakers but also make sure they are compatible with each other.

[@oneirosgames]

JBL has the advantage here but for the price I would go for Sound. If I had a better setup maybe I would invest more and get the JBL but just to reproduce the sound from a 1080p mid range projector it is good enough. for me.

[@josesalas3946]

Whats the mp3 player called not the sony

[@Zamperla]

I have both speakers. I don´t know if it is my room´s acoustics or what, but for as long as I´ve used them both, I've noticed the JBL is definitely louder and has a richer high bass, so kicks hit harder and punchier , but the Soundcore has deeper bass, so bass guitars sound fuller and more pleasant. Also, JBL has a bit crisper highs, but the Soundcore has a wider sound stage due to its stereo capabilities. EQ is just as effective on the JBL as on the Soundcore, but the later is WAY MORE customizable. One thing I don´t like about the JBL is that you can´t skip to the previous track from the speaker controls and it doesn´t feature a 3.5mm jack. One thing I don´t like about the Soundcore is that if you pause the music for more than 10 seconds or when you play the first song, it has a 2 seconds delay before sound starts coming out. Something I prefer about the JBL, tho, is the form factor, cause it can be placed both horizontally or vertically so it can save some space on your desk or table. Overall, both are awesome speakers, so it very much depends on what you need or what you prefer. In this case, I'd like to say: if you want heavier, more exciting sound, go JBL. If you want a bit more precise or refined sound or if you love tweaking your EQ settings or you desire to create a very specific sound signature, pick the Soundcore. You can´t go wrong with either speaker, anyway.

Currently, the JBL Charge 5 is retailing in outlets at anywhere from €140.00 to €169.00, whereas the Soundcore is around €75.00, while the JBL may be louder and more bass (it is a 40w speaker v the Soundcore at 30w) but its nearly twice the price of the soundcore Motion plus. So you can purchase 2 soundcores for the cost of 1 JBL charge 5, which makes the soundcore the best option.

For those who saying about the equalizer will make a huge difference in motion plus and blow the charge 5 away.

I've had Soundcore for 3 years now and the battery has come to the end of his life. So this is what people should know about it, that it works around 3 years. I used to listen it everyday at work 8-10 hours at 50% volume and it still had lots of battery left after 8-10 hours, I could probably go around 15 hours nonstop, but if the battery goes off, it goes fast, just few weeks ago I could play it 10 hours easily and now I cannot listen more than 4-5 hours and speakr turns himself off for no reason. Next I will try Charge5, but whatever speaker you buy out of these two, you can't do no wrong. Both sound very good. Motion also has a equalizer, so you can get a lot more out of the speaker than in stock mode.

Which speaker one chooses all depends on how you will use it and what type of music genre or audio you will be playing through them, they are both good speakers with its own distinctive characteristics. Yet you will find something better for the price you're paying for the Charge 5 on the market and conversely you would struggle to find anything better at the price point of the Motion Plus.

The Soundcore outperforms the JBL in a long way. The JBL had big bass and a boxy sound. I don’t like it one bit. The Soundcore sounds open and hifi. If you look at the graph at the start of the video, you see the Soundcore has a flatter response as where the JBL had too much bass and poor highs. I know they design it that way to please hiphop listening youngsters. But I hate sound like that when listening to metal music. I also bet the soundcore is cheaper.

Thanks for the video. Charge 5 sounds better to my ear. I tried the motion plus and returned it after a few days. For some reason I got a headache (radiation?) And also the bass was pretty weak compared to the Charge 3 I had at the time. Shame the Charge 5 is double the price, though.

[@theotherhouse5910]

Bass is definitely weak on the motion ➕...until I downloaded the eq app.....huge difference without the app

[@Andy5682fly]

Try the Motion Boom, it will beat the Charge 5 if it's bass that you want

[@amarnamarpan]

May I ask the names of those MP3 players? They seem nice.

JBL's mids and highs sound distorted when the bass drops, and is really a letdown for me. I like the bass more tho but the soundcore has more dynamic range, is more accurate I think, and those highs are really crisp with better frequency separation. Would go for the soundcore, but the JBL would sound better outdoors

[@ericoberman5697]

when properly EQ'd (meaning whatever EQ you may also have running be disengaged) the Soundcore would shred the JBL

[@sagarkumarvlogs1087]

I like your video

[@ThibautMahringer]

Charge 5 : "Deep" Bass Motion+ : Upper bass, mids, vocals and highs However using BassUp really undersells the Motion+ as it lacks highs in bassup mode

[@mohamadsalmanalfaris3969]

What eq you apply on Motion+? Oluv's or Alan Ross'?

[@ThibautMahringer]

@@mohamadsalmanalfaris3969 A modified version of Alan Ross EQ with more highs and slightly less upper bass

@@ThibautMahringer Thank you. Appreciate it

[@prodbyzkhg]

@@ThibautMahringer wdym by "upper bass" are you some fanboy? The Anker has a frequency response of 40Hz deeper than what the charge 5 can achieve.

[@ThibautMahringer]

@@prodbyzkhg Upper bass is the 100-200hz range. Which produce punchy bass. If you want to teach me anything about speakers you should know that already. 40hz deeper ? Yeah right. Motion+ go down to 60hz and Charge 5 to 50hz so yeah, I don't know from where you got your numbers but they are clearly wrong. And that comes from an owner of 2 Motion+ and 2 Motion Booms. And I love both speakers. I actually think that Charge 5 is crap for the price asked. I got a Onyx Studio 7 last week, it's the same price as Charge 5 while being WAY better. With a true deep bass that go down to 30hz.

[@MufasaRizz]

I can hear the stereo effect on the sound core not on the jbl 5. Hands down the sound core is a better sounding speaker plus it has an app that allows for more eq tailoring. Sound core is more spacious. No Contest,

[@jzvr5842]

Anker Soundcore Motion Plus sounded better.

[@josephtremblant2173]

I live in Canada where the JBL charge 5 sells for $199 and motion+ sells for $109. I got several old JBL BT speakers that I love and all of them use Connect+ that allow them to be paired together such as Flip4, Charge3 and Xtreme2. I recently got a JBL charge 5 and was slightly better than my Charge3 but not better than my Xtreme2. Also, Flip4+Charge3 were better than a single Charge5 and Charge3+Xtreme2 paired together were way better than Charge5. Was going to buy a 2nd JBL charge5 but had a chance to listen to two(2) Motion+'s from a friend with a FIIO BTA30Pro from his Mac via Aptx and was sold. Ended buying 2x Motion+'s, a BTA30 Pro that provides the cleanest HIFI BT audio signal from your Smartphone, Win10 PC, Mac or Linux Machine. I don't need an EQ and 2 Motion+'s are definitely better than a single Charge5. What I love from my JBL charge5 that's better than my motion+: Appealing Design and stylish looks, Durable construction, USB Charging port, JBL sound signature if you have crappy equipment or barely decent audio sources(not my case), BT 5.1, larger battery . What I don't like from my JBL Charge5: Almost double the price than Motion+, single tweeter, no EQ, No Aux-In, no Aptx BT audio codec, the fact that every new JBL Charge model, makes previous gen obsolete for pairing them together. Conclusion: It's a better deal for conscious buyers to spend $218 and buy 2xMotion+'s or $238 for 2xMotion Boom's than spending $199 for a single JBL Charge5.

The JBL has it. just a bit more steely at the top end. Also the JBL is slightly less congested when the music gets complex.

I have owned both and think the JBL is much nicer to the ears. My ears start to hurt after a while , listening to the motion+. I tried multiple EQ settings but the JBL just sounds better to me. Sound is a very subjective thing so I think both are great in their respective price ranges!

Alan Ross does not even have a special Equalizer. He just boosted up every bands like a kid🤣🤣🤣
