Soundcore Motion 300 Vs Bose Soundlink Flex

[@megakebab1702]

The thing about that bose that impresses me, is how clever the tuning is. Listening to it outdoors, makes it sound very big because of it's upper bass, which gives the illusion of having lots of bass outdoors where you usually can't hear deep bass from small speakers. So for outdoors the flex is not only comfirtable to hold, but it has a perfect tuning for outdoors. It's a very specific v shaped eq that gives a smooth listening experience, because it doesn't focus on upper mids, which is why the sound is so buttery. Speakers like the charge 5 have a more "in your face" type of tuning, better for vocals and certain types of music.

[@alanrossreviews]

The flex also is orientation aware and adjusts eq based on upright or flat.

I feel like having another comparison between the bass up on and off would've made more sense but other than that, nice short but detailed review that doesn't artificially drag out too long. I think I prefer the Bose but for the price the Motion 300 seems very good!

[@joelf5565]

Indeed. Not sure if it is just the bass mode, or a motion signature sound, but the mids are too high and disrupting the other frequencies.

[@joser3613]

I have the Bose Soundlink Flex. One Ruby red and another one all black. And when you pair them together in stereo mode, they sound phenomenal for the size of the speaker. The sound signature on the Bose keeps the bass easily audible no matter the volume level, and the highs are not to bright to the point they drown out the rest of the instrumentation on the music track.

[@jerzrich8725]

Throw in the tribit stoembox Flow

[@joser3613]

​@jerzrich8725 the firmware update on the Tribit greatly updated the sound quality of the speaker

[@havok4103]

So... linking 2 x300 to get surround stereo for $10 more than a single mono bose.... and getting similar sound quality. Seems like a no brainer for my use case (garage shop speaker). Thanks for the comparison video, been searching for a cost effective noise solution for my shop for hours!

[@chefds1]

I love my motion 300 and it sounds much better without bass boost. Use that custom eq setting!

[@ados1980cz]

Agreed. I also discovered that when I connect it to my PC via bluetooth dongle and use the default windows media player with EQ Settings set to "Portable Speaker", it sounds so much better with the same song when compared to playing from the phone, despite me trying to get the EQ in sound core app, and the player on android as close as I can. Still, you are right, it sounds shit with the bass boost feature on, it mussies the mids and highs too much I think.

[@Blu3_777]

Yeah when you a custom EQ its like 10x better

[@codeforgames]

I listened with my eyes closed. when I liked the sound, it always turned out to be Bose Flex

[@AkoToMarjon]

you are wrong because what you are hearing is the speaker of your device. you need to listen them personally to make a verdict.

[@codeforgames]

@@AkoToMarjon I'm right! Besides, I went shopping and listened to this portable speaker live with my ears. And it was exactly the same. Bose sounded better than many of Creative, Edifier, LG, Samsung, JBL and others. The only one that sounded about as good was Harman/Kardon. I've been looking for my wired Microlab for a very long time to have a good sound. Therefore, I understand perfectly well through them whether the sound will eventually be normal from the video or not. And even if I don't like the sound from the video through my speakers... then there's no shit at all...

[@wynkoop2000]

I don’t understand why you rate the sound based on having the base up feature turned off, but all the examples you gave us were with the base turned on. Did you do the test both ways and just not put it in video or are you making assumptions? Based on this alone, I would struggle make any decisions based on your review. Two other things you left out. 1. The Bose speaker will also adapt its sound to its position. 2. The Bose speaker floats.

so having tried both speakers in my experience the soundcore is the clearer sounding speaker i.e has the clarity of highs and mids instead of just bass. i was disappointed with the bose having 2 previous soundlink mini's which were brilliant. also the soundcore has a custom eq feature which helps get the best out of the genre of music you're listening too

[@allanvanmuks1263]

The flex has a tendency of shooting up mids and highs when there's no bass at all and dropping bass slightly after a certain interval (about 5 - 10 seconds) when the lows get back in the track. The speaker resonates better when placed in front of something solid like a wall/corner of a closed room etc. I just don't like it playing in the open. Hot mention, it's nice if you can get two flex speakers and sync them with the app - way better sound. I'm waiting for my soundcore to arrive

Have the Motion 300 and yeah, sounds like the Bose SoundLink, better to have the Bass Up off, sounds louder and clear, and don't forget the Mic built-in, I tried it and sounds like you're in your phone no matter the place. Price and sound would be the reasons to buy it, the battery is also nice, from 40% to 100 in 25/30 minutes. Use the Smart EQ, does work so well. And let me say that sounds even a bit louder laying down, that's what I've perceived. Hard to compete Bose, but this speaker worth the price and sound.

[@dr150]

Not a fan of Bose, but the Flex product got it right. On its back, the EQ changes and opens up. The bass is satisfying enough at all volume without sounding wonky at higher SPLs like the competition. The Motion 300 just doesn't sound quite right even with the EQ. I wish I could have saved the money with the 300, but the difference is stark enough to lay out the cash.

[@rvb_drolf3950]

I agree! The Bose did sound better than the Motion 300 with the Bass Mode on. A comparison with the stock tuning would have made more sense and would have supported the conclusion of this video. At its current state it doesn’t support it. Especially for people not listening the whole way through and making their buying decision purely based on the first few minutes.

[@shubhamdas351]

I have experienced bose soundlink flex with several tests and I can suggest you if the volume of bose flex is about 50%-70% then you should stay at a distance of 3.8metres to experience the real sound of bose....👍

Im gonna get my Motion 300 soon and will see whether i like it or not, but this video gives me a good idea, kinda wished you went bass off for the motion so i can get a clearer sound from it but for the most part i do like the bosw just slightly better but price wise the mostion sounds like a steal cause it is only slightly worse.

The Bose Flex of course was the clearest with good bass, but for the price the Motion 300 isn't far behind, the basic EQ settings are ok but when you get to customize them to your liking it sounds way better of course. Bass up mode is ok but is nothing compared to a custom EQ. I would recommend if you don't have the money for the Bose.

Definitely Bose has better bass , Upper bass are more prominent so it good for outdoor use while motion 300 has slightly better deepbass which better in indoor.

I’m a Bose fan. They are awesome. I’m not sure if the Bose marginal sound quality is making up for overall cost and lack of function. I was going to return my two Soundcore 300. I did compare the Bose flex and the Motion 300 at home. Had to return the Bose within 14days. The more I have had time to think about it. I’d much rather spend less on a portable speaker and more on a home speaker. I’m an artist that listens to audio all day everyday for the most part. I do wish Bose stepped up their game. Form and Function combined with beautiful sound then you can charge $250 for two speakers. Also to both brands. Where’s the input connection. Y’all trying to be cheap like Apple.
