I totally agree with you, a fusion of the positive aspects of both speakers would be a masterpiece in its category. Motion plus has defined bass, but muffled that does not project and dirties mid frequencies, it should make the body rumble and not my head. Thanks for your reviews

theres a brilliance there, it has three specific peaks that help but still overall there is more going on with the m+ to my ears, i hear detail thats simply missing on the boom.

The motion boom does actually what it says it booms. I'm not bothered about aesthetic looks, speakers are about performance. My only disappointment with the boom is no 3.5mm output.

For headphones? Seems a bit pointless...

They need to make a motion boom with tweeters. Then it would stomp other speakers.

[@alanrossreviews]

right, maybe thats next?

[@benjrgadgets7223]

Yes, but it wont be on that price level if they will add tweeters. Tweeters are good, it really adds more details. But i guess soundcore targeted Budget-Bass head buyers for this Motion Boom. For it has decent highs! for these titanium speakers are very good Full range speakers which produce Mids and highs as well as Bass. Same technology that Charge 3&4& Flip 5 has ( No tweeters).

[@Nathan-tn5yb]

@@benjrgadgets7223 to me it'd be worth paying a little more for tweeters if it was 120 it'd still be cheaper than an xtreme 3 with the same output.

[@richardgregorowski7848]

Great review as always, thanks! Having had the Motion Plus for a few months I'm super happy with it! After this review I would still choose it... For 3 main reasons: 1: the clarity in mid and upper range is fantastic. Tweeters for the win! Especially as they angle outwards to increase the sound field. 2: the aux-in for non-BT devices. 3: the aptX BT codec. Why take them away for the Boom? Feels like 3 steps backwards for the 2 steps forwards of more pronounced bass in the Boom, and a bigger battery. It's also therefore a lot bulkier. Considering it's it's size, the Motion Plus has decent bass, especially with EDM.

[@alanrossreviews]

Its the new way, nothing wired

[@mattrehfuss8983]

Perhaps it doesn't translate like that in the real world but in this test, the Boom beats the Plus on all counts - bass extension, balanced response, detail and volume

[@Daniel-Robison]

[@GixrGuy]

Fantastic Review as expected! The Soundcore Motion Boom competes directly against JBL’s Xreme 3. Some of the other speakers - Sony XB43 - aren’t as Bass Heavy or have very “Muddy-Mids” such as the WKing. Excellent review!

I got this on a "lease" until my Sony XB43 arrives. Honestly, as a basshead, I'm pretty impressed. Ive played an hour straight of EDM, a trebly Latin Music and some Pop Music. Ive tried the Bugani M90 and the Monster Adventurer Force the past 2 weeks and it had weak bass. They were more for Rock/Country music. At 60GBP/75USD/100CAD price point this would be an excellent buy for those who love high bpm music. It's 139CAD at the moment and hmm, just wait a little bit more when it goes on sale.

this is my letter to soundcore team: hello soundcore, i`m fan of your products so writing this letter to show my needs. i`m a nomad traveler on the foot and often i like to make a little rave (party) mostly outside. at the moment i`m using motion + because it`s compact enough and not too heavy to be carried in my backpack and also because the quality of sound. but i wish a little bit louder speaker, maybe 50 w and also more bass. i know there is motion boom but it`s the same loudness as the motion + (30 w) and there are no tweeters, no 3,5 mm audio output (i need that), no 15° angle dispersion of the sound (which is really useful feature) and also there is no aptx support. so yeah...i`m really not satisfied with all this features being cut and not being implemented into the motion boom. please make a speaker up to 2 kg (still comfortable to carry in backpack for a long walk) with all that features motion + had but just a bit louder and with deeper bass. thank you

I think they missed a trick here, seems is if they were so set on keeping the price down. Why not spend a bit more on R and D add tweeter ect and market it as a higher end speaker. All they appear to have done is to have released bigger less refined version of the plus. I would mind splashing out more on a high end Motion plus knowing how good my two standard ones are, as it stands i won't be investing in a bulky side step version of an already brilliant speaker.

[@alanrossreviews]

well its not much like the m+ at all really, the bass is impressive for its price, the m+ simply cant get near that low bass.

@@alanrossreviews That's exactly my point, Anker had the perfect opportunity to move the Boom to the next level. Instead it's basically a bass heavy giant muffled boom box with the Motion price tag. Anker could've made the Boom the Tronsmart T6 Max to the Motion plus's Tronsmart Mega.

Thanks for sharing 👍🙂

@Nicolly congrats 👍. I also choose 2 Anker soundcore motion + . Did you found any problem when pairing to stereo using Bluetooth ? Some time one speaker sound mute . Can you please check.

@@diujay My two do time to time, most of the time it's something blocking the signal. The range between the two has a big impact too. Try making sure that nothing is impeding a clear a line of sight between the two plus's, for some reason they seem to be having a few issues with this lately. Hopefully the next update could fix it as they didn't some to suffer this many dropouts before the last update.

Hi Alan. If you had to choose a portable speaker for indoor use (sub $500) what would you choose? I am looking for a speaker to replace my aging braven 850 which still works perfectly but I have a feeling newer speakers produce better sound quality.

[@alanrossreviews]

I haven't tried enough high end speakers to make that call. Im more comfortable talking about value. I like the go plus play 3 for indoors. Or two blasts in custom.

[@nicholaschanvn]

Motion boom looks cool

[@xXadambXx]

I think that the combination of these speakers would make a perfect small portable speaker with universal sound, we'll see what anker will show in the future, unless the tribit stormbox will be such a speaker come on, he is a 360 speaker

[@alanrossreviews]

they just need to add the plus tweeters to the boom and then booom! 🤓

[@RussianSkiAmateurs]

Can you connect + and Bass together? Thank you for your work

[@alanrossreviews]

nope! 😂

[@AlvynVillanuevaart]

@@alanrossreviews Thats too bad, u can set the + to mids and treble and the Boom to handle the bass then stack the plus on top of the boom, would sound great I bet

[@DoronD]

25:28 So, how about pairing with a motion plus and a motion boom using a specialised app or Samsung's dual audio feature, thus getting a deep bass, full mids and vocals that pop. Isn't that the best way to go?

[@boranakin710]

Samsung dual audio is a great feature! Been pairing a motion+ with an xtreme 2 for a year now, getting quite a full sound with the xtreme 2's bass supporting the motion+.

[@jeffayson1539]

@@boranakin710 do you have tho boom? did you tried to pair them? btw hows the sync of the two different speaker i heard from someone there's kinda slight delay?

[@DoronD]

@@jeffayson1539 I recently tried to send audio from my samsung phone to an xtreme 2 and a motion plus and they synced just fine. So it should be fine with a boom too. However, you can't pair them in stereo this way. Then I tried sending audio to a motion plus and 2 xtremes and there was a noticeable delay between them and the plus. Probably because the signal has to bounce twice with 2 xtremes. Maybe a suitable app can solve this issue and the stereo issue, haven't tried one yet.

[@boranakin710]

@@jeffayson1539 Well, I have been pairing Xtreme2 and motion+ just like @DoronD, and they usually sync up just fine. A motion+ and a ue boom 2 also worked for me. It can sometimes be finicky; but reactivating and/or reconnecting them a few times solves that. HOWEVER, certain combinations of speakers won't sync up no matter what... We have tried 2 motion pluses in tws (true wireless stereo sync between 2 ankers, phone connects to one of them), paired with a single xtreme 2 through samsung dual audio with a friend and it would never sync properly due to delays. Same happens with 2 Xtreme 2's paired with a motion+ as @DoronD has said. So best to try it first before you buy two different speakers. The safest bet would be to just buy 2 identical speakers that can do native stereo with perfect syncing like a pair of motion+ or motion booms. I already had the xtreme 2 when I got the anker much later, so I do it that way. :)

[@boranakin710]

@@DoronD Wow man, great to hear that someone else has been doing the xtreme2 and motion+ combo as well! Even though it isn't stereo, they still sound great together, JBL fills in the bass, anker shines with the clarity of the highs and the mids :) We have tried the reverse of yours, where we connected a single Xtreme 2 with a pair of motion+'s in TWS through samsung dual audio, and the pair of ankers would always lag way behind the same way as your xtremes. I really do wonder how/if 2 pairs of xtreme 2's and motion+'s would work xD Cheers!

[@TheEgzorcysta]

Guys its 2 ways if u want use it indoor easly go for motion plus, if u want use it outdoor go for boom, u can have both and be grat

Awesome reviews, Alan. Wondering why you had 7 hrs / 3 hrs for Motion+ battery test at max volume? Why you had two different times? Diff EQ settings? Thanks in advance.

[@alanrossreviews]

There appears to be differences in the models. Most people got 3 hrs but i can get 7hrs.

[@mcjonner]

I've been waiting for this speaker for a long time. Can't lie, I'm a little disappointed, no tweeters, that huge handle, cheap build quality. I would not have minded paying 1.5-2x more than the motion+. I'm a little surprised they went in this direction, I assumed it was almost a slam dunk to get those things, like it was an obvious path forward.

[@alanrossreviews]

especially as part of the motion lineup!

[@mcjonner]

@@alanrossreviews ya if they provided those things, came out with a speaker that had good tasteful bass with a higher end mid range and top end they could have destroyed the competition. Thanks for the detailed review

[@tomislav_malbasic]

i'm hugely disappointed. no tweeters, no advanced dsp and amplifiers, no aptx hd, no 15 degrees angle for enhanced sound dispersion, no dust proof, no 3.5 mm audio input, not improved 30 w output comparing to motion +, overall design very ugly (my subjective opinion) and especially the holding handle that takes so much space

[@mcjonner]

@@tomislav_malbasic not that this is conclusive by any means, but I emailed soundcore and tribit since I was waiting for one of them to release a party speaker. Soundcore said no plans to make a bigger one or smaller travel size (I was hoping for tribit maxsound plus size), and tribit is, but I believe it is an omni directional speaker. Not ideal in my books. I feel like I'm being super picky, but at the same time I think I've been waiting years to replace a fugoo xl with something better, that has a pretty standard wish list, you think any speaker manufacturer could think of making a nice party speaker with this criteria. Any speaker manufacturer can think of this stuff if a consumer can. Kind of pissed me off to realize that this is probably the best that we're going to get from either soundcore or tribit, the 2 companies I thought that could finally release what Ive been waiting for for so long at a nice price too.

Thank you for your precise, clear and deep... bass, ho no ! Deep reviews. I apologize for asking questions that you already answered in the review, (that I watched exhaustively and extensively) . But it can be hard for me to understand even the clearest explanations. So I understood from the review that even though the motion boom is mostly meant to perform quite loud, it could also be pleasant to use at lower volume with a dedicated custom EQ. Can you tell me if I got it right or am I completely wrong ? A simple right or wrong will do. Thank you again for all your knowledge you share with us.

[@alanrossreviews]

Sure but motion plus makes more sense for low volume

[@marceau3001]

@@alanrossreviews thank you for the answer! You may love deep bass, but sure you do shine also in the high frequencies response ! Or is it an unbelievable deep bass attack time ? It must be both of them ! So thank you two times. So Thank you two times .

Hi Alan, is this all in my imagination, or does having the anker soundcore app set to flat without bass enhancement sound different than having it set to custom mode with all of the sliders at zero? It seems to have more bass as well as other slight dynamic changes I can’t pinpoint nonetheless describe.

[@alanrossreviews]

not sure what you are asking, all sliders at zero is signature mode.

[@gl4675]

@@alanrossreviews the custom mode with all sliders at zero (from what I can hear) does not sound identical to any of the custom presets, with or without bass enhancement turned on. At first I thought all sliders at zero should sound identical to the flat preset, with bass enhancement off. You claim that all sliders at zero should sound identical to the sound-core signature preset. My ears are telling me that the custom mode with sliders at zero still sounds different than the soundcore signature preset, which I tested with bass enhancement on, as well as off. This is worth bringing up in my opinion, as the sound I prefer the most, is the custom mode with all sliders set to zero, and it does NOT sound the same as any preset.

[@alanrossreviews]

actually measuring the presets (frequency response) and custom at 0 shows them identical in my testing. i can only report what i find.

[@gl4675]

@@alanrossreviews I don’t measure frequency response, but it can’t be all in my imagination that they do not sound the same on my end, as I’ve tested on many times on different days. I’m wondering why this is. Unless I’m really THAT bonkers 🤪
