Thanks. Brilliant review. I have one coming. I already have the Soundcore Boom +. I bloody LOVE IT! I am expecting that same rich ass sound in a smaller package. The durability like the sound is phenomenal as well. I will never go back to Bose nor JBL. I am usually not a brand loyal bloke. But, I will always trust Soundcore.

[@Thomas-tf4cm]

I have to admit that I was initially skeptical about Soundcore products, but after trying out their affordable Bluetooth earbuds, I am pleasantly surprised!

[@ChickenMcNublets]

It's made by Anker, so you know it's going to be a reliable good bang for your buck product. They just rebranded it and made it into a series/sub-brand. I got their Q45 headphones and they're great for the price, but I will say they feel heavier than say, Bose or Sony headphones, so I think there are compromises, but again for the price, the sound quality is great.

[@weirdear95]

And the motion 300 comes with a mic 🔥. What a great review👌.

[@smarthomesounds]

Thank you 🙌

[@fender68able]

Mine comes in tomorrow. Can't wait!!

[@smarthomesounds]

Good choice 👍

[@oscarclarke1888]

How would you recommend it?

Thanks for your review. This could be a nice by speaker for my garden😊

@@theday2164 I have just get early bird offer from Soundcore. 👍🏻😉

[@smarthomesounds]

Absolutely!

and my dog

[@RossiB172]

The fact you can customise your own eq with most soundcore stuff you can tune their speaker to sound how you want. My boom sounds very flat on signature mode. i left the lows as they were, took the highs up to +3 and +4 and mids 2 and 3. And i think it is perfect much better than any standard products. Looks likw they are making more effort on appearance. X series do look the part

[@tadswar]

Nice review! Thanks! 🙏

[@smarthomesounds]

Glad you liked it!

[@twenuaba]

Thanks for being blunt with your review.

[@cpw182]

When will this be on offer in the UK? It came out in the US today

[@Villarreal422]

It sounds great

[@ambalina]

Great review & presentation. Could you please also review Motion 100 ?

[@torrodrigues1017]

What type of clamp hook is the speaker hanging from in the video? It's clamped onto a pole or something.

[@JesseJamess]

Logo looks awesome 😎

[@user-kl6bb4yp7e]

Do i need the app to use it

[@joshuarayos]

can you review the harman kardon luna? and compare it to bose sl flex?

[@sundayduffer]

Bought $15 credit for $1 from soundcore. Early bird discount. Oct 8th release. Cant wait.

[@smarthomesounds]

Good choice 👍

[@jeffreysmith6963]

That's how I got mine.

[@pug_63]

Question: How does the early bird work for non-US residents? Will the $14 off be eaten by shipping etc?

[@jjmmjj9999]

ok, but then its "free shipping" rather than $14 off the device... still saving $14 wherever the discount goes

[@robbieasghari8361]

YOU GUYS SHOULD PLAY SORRY NOT SORRY BY DEMI LOVATO ON THE SOUNDCORE MOTION 300 IN SOUNDCORE’S SIGNATURE SOUND MODE AT MAX VOLUME AND HEAR THE DISTORTION THAF THE SPEAKER HAS. I’D SAY LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE SONG. THANK YOU

[@daliborduben7029]

It is possible to order it from Europe? At Soundcore site is written: What countries do you ship to? US only. Thank you for your understanding. Thanks for reply.

[@SigmaMastersOfMind]

Dude I got 2 pieces at 60$ per unit from AliExpress freeshipping to Europe and that's because I was in a hurry. Now they are around 50$ using all the coupouns from the Anker Official Store and the Ali express ones from thr current sale.

[@bluegween]

Can this be paired with SMART TV? How does it perform and sound?

[@yulog]

i'm getting a static sound periodically, i heard someone else complain about this , not sure what it is (brand new)

[@DJCuhhhstin956]

LDAC makes a huge difference in sound quality across the entire spectrum, for the price and build quality, only bose fan bois are picking the speed flex over the motion 300, the motion 300 wins on every level except for the google/alexa features

[@davidbezzant9820]

When is this getting released in the UK chaps?

[@smarthomesounds]

October 24th! soundcore.tech/3135CTFi

[@davidbezzant9820]

@@smarthomesounds are you sure? Cause I can't see anything on the UK website!! That's a link to the US lol. Will the early bird offer from the US website work for us in the UK? Thanks!

[@Emmanuel_MS]

When you make the versus you make it wrong, you're using an iPhone, you suppose to use an Android phone to take advantage of the LDAC codec, then sound quality will improve even more...

[@thiagoandes2951]

Nice review, I've always been a bose fan and sonos but i have yet to see what it sounds like. Got me pre-ordered with the $15 coupon off on FB.

[@xXadambXx]

it will come tribit stormbox flow which is design almost the same like bose, compate soundcore to tribit will be interesting :D

[@jbEATs5]

I just bought two since I really like the stereo option and soundcores are super easy to pair. I returned the bose (which sounded great) since I had to pair them in party mode every time I wanted to use them. Everything i read said this is how bose works. I have an older pair of soundcore boosts which still sound great so it will be interesting to hear the difference.

[@dragosnacu]

11:12 "The soundcore I think it has a better bass". Seriously? I have one and it sounds like a kitchen radio, no bass at all. Maybe only some shy bass if you search for a spot with better resonance. The bass of Bose SoundLink Flex cannot even compare with Motion 300, even a deaf grandma would notice it. Not saying the Soundlink flex is perfect, because it has no mids, bla bla... but it has bass, and what a bass... a lot

[@MrSlicer2424]

Nix the Vocal fry .

[@hardlabscentral]

this costs 400 dollars here in argentina!

[@spectator6656]

Their website advertises it in Blue and Green but theres no option to pick besides black.

[@MrTexaspete30]

If it sounds amazing, i dont if there's a big soundcore logo.

[@zallen05]

Can it stereo pair with the x600?

[@smarthomesounds]

Unfortunately not :-(

[@brownnotblack1616]

in our country on sale you can buy 4 jbl flip 6 for the price of 1 bose soundlink flex 😂😂😂,

[@smarthomesounds]

😱

[@ulysescasilum7023]

i think Tribit StormBox Flow is better waiting for the comparison

[@itsmini6175]

Except for the fact that the Flow isn’t stereo, it downmixes to mono audio

[@rudolof8540]

Tribit is a mono speaker. At least it has the warmest sound of the line vs flex and anker 300.

[@ulysescasilum7023]

@@rudolof8540 i agree

[@xotilweoverdose7736]

The Flex is way better it's not even close

[@drewkilkenny]

Can you pair two together like the Bose?

[@smarthomesounds]

Unfortunately not at the moment but hopefully this will come as a software update later down the line 🙏

[@drewkilkenny]

@@smarthomesounds thanks, but that makes it a deal breaker for me and probably a lot of other people

[@pollyaloy]

​@@drewkilkennyyes you can it's shown by a different KZbinr by holding the bluetooth button on both speakers

[@user-uz5km1id6b]

ДРУЗЬЯ не нужно верить!!! Мой flip 4 утёр нос этому чуду техники soundcore , JBL вкл в комнате на 50 % и всё стало ясно сразу , soundcore вернул в магазин и взял flip 6 в замен flip 4 (так как стала flip 4 умирать с годами ). Для дома Маршал, для улицы JBL. Нет альтернативы пока на рынке . Реально хлам это чудо soundcore . Уговаривать и доказывать не собираюсь, просто личное мнение

[@UrbanExplorer614]

The Motion 300 would be a good looking speaker without that awful logo on the grill. Those metal grills also dent easily. They need to sack whoever designed it!

[@alanrossreviews]

All thoughts are own..... Proceeds to spill a bunch of marketing fluff 😅

[@joser3613]

The Bose might be more expensive but it offers a lot more! A lot of people will find the sound signature on the Bose much more pleasing. The Bose offers voice commands such as Google and Alexa. Its able to answer phone calls. It can also connect with other Bose Speakers using party mode or pair it in stereo mode (only using the same speaker model) which sounds phenomenal.

[@robbieasghari8361]

They say all sound is subjective

[@therealtech833]

​@@robbieasghari8361 You should probably listen to the motion 300 first, and by the way it does answer calls and work with Google commands. For one thing the motion 300 by itself has two speakers in the stereo without having to pair with a 2nd one. Having heard them both, they are very close and sound quality, minor differences.

[@therealtech833]

For the price of the price of the Bose flex $150, I purchased the soundcore motion x600, a far superior speaker.

[@truesight91]

@@therealtech833 Soundcore are just louder and seem better but the sound quality and build quality are not comparable to the Bose. Its like comparing (made in germany) and (made in china).

[@joser3613]

@therealtech833 by miles the Soundcore X600 beats the Bose. Even my Soundcore Motion + which was $50 less than the Bose sounds better since it has Aptx codec, while the Bose still uses old school SBC codec. Bose is good in terms of portability

[@vanessawilliam9570]

I own both of these speakers. I like the sound coming from motion 300 more. Bose is definitely not worth to buy even if it's half cheaper the current price.

[@loveisthething]

Thanks I was curious about that.

[@areaman714]

No stereo pairing/party cast option with another 300 is a big let down for this Soundcore offering. It moved me from reflexively buying two to holding off for now.

[@smarthomesounds]

Agreed, it would have been a nice to have that functionality.

[@JohnRogers0014]

My phone allows me to pair 2 speakers regardless of the brand.

[@michaelnemo7629]

​​@@JohnRogers0014which phone? And is it true stereo or just pairing two speakers? Meaning does your phone split left and right between the speakers?

[@DJCuhhhstin956]

it will do TWS pairing with a second x300, soundcore confirmed it

[@viewwithice4500]

It does have pairing. New Stuff TV just made a video where he pairs two speakers

[@pug_63]
