Soundcore Motion Boom vs W-King D8 and D9 - boom boom! 🥳

[@alanrossreviews]

What are you listening on? 🤔

[@drjd2real]

@@alanrossreviews I know what to listen on. I listened to the boom in person and my jbl stuff sounds deeper. None of them have real deep bass anyways. Play a test tone and most of them struggle to play 40hz.

[@alanrossreviews]

@@drjd2real lol! if you think a single test tone can tell you what sounds deep there is not much else i can say.

[@drjd2real]

@@alanrossreviews You're not talking to a dummy. I've installed many complicated car audio and home audio systems for over 25 years. I build subwoofer boxes and tune them. I'm not confused or baffled by your videos. You can tell by doing just the way said. If you play a bass drop from 80 to 20hz the speakers will eventually become inaudible, that's how you know how deep it can really play. Playing deep with no authority doesn't count. It is sad that I had to explain this to you.

[@alanrossreviews]

@@drjd2real lol! now trying to convince me you know what you are talking about after telling me you test bass depth by playing a single test tone, priceless. and revealing the earth shattering news that these small budget bluetooth speakers struggle to play down to 40hz, brilliant 👌👌

that's me decided, getting rid of the xb41's getting two motion boom's instead. I already own a JBL partybox 100 for a party type of speaker. I agree there smaller range are absolute rubbish! (xtreme,charge,flip ect..) if you ever review the JBL partybox 100, it's about the only speaker in the portable range that i would call a decent listen! (if you can really call it portable) there are often deals on it and it makes it worth the price on discount. but love these reviews keep them coming mate!

Here in Canada Amazon has the Motion Boom at $139 while the D8 (which I have) is regularly down to $75. I like the D8 because my primary use is in my tin can of a car. It's loud enough to rise above the ambient noise and cheap enough that I don't really care if it gets beat up. It sounds pretty good as well...

[@alanrossreviews]

i think the boom offers better value other than ultimate loudness even at those prices.

If W-King can make a custom option, The D9 def has the hardware to make it top tier. Just for loudness alone I'd go with the D9. The motion Boom def has the thump though for a smaller device.

Would you be so kind as to list the values here or point me to where I can locate them? Thanks, Ram

[@NCC-yc5fq]

@@alanrossreviews Thank you kindly, Alan. :)

[@KrazyShark]

For my Motion Boom i tend to keep that 150hz slider at least 2-3 notches below the 80hz one, just sounds better that way cause deep bass is just more satisfying to listen to. If you really want a fun sound just max out the 80hz slider and v-shape it but for "regular" listening, Alan's EQ sounds really really good. I've been trying out the D8 cause the 50W louder sound seemed interesting but comparing it to the Boom it just sounds like a tin can. Bare in mind i have the full black version, not sure if it's tuned differently than the green model but it's compressed, sounds muffled at times, no rumble, no satisfying bass that you can feel, heck i can't feel the bass at all while listening to it. I brought both of them at a small party and when i pushed the D8's volume to near max after listening to the Motion Boom my friends and i made that "disgust" face and told me to use the Motion Boom back cause the sound was so screechy and unsatisfying to listen to, it just hurts man. One of them even told me "it's just loud to be loud" and i have to agree it just sounds like a hot mess. The bass was non-existant and it sounds really harsh when pushed up whereas the Motion Boom can still retain that bass and you can balance it out with the app at louder volumes. I'm glad the D8 only cost me 50 bucks cause it's a pretty mediocre speaker but it can sound nice with no-vocals music or if you don't get the Motion Boom to A/B compare it with you shouldn't be that disappointed. After watching so many reviews about the D8 (and the D9) i can't see the appeal of it, i honestly tried, tried and tried using the dolby equalizer, push up the bass and just try to get a proper sound out of it but i just can't. The extra rumble, soundstage and low deep bass of the Motion Boom is where it's at. My opinion might be biased cause I had the Motion Boom before getting the D8 so maybe we just didn't have anything better for the price before but now that the Boom is here and i can A/B compare them, in my honest opinion, forget the W-Kings and get the Motion Boom. The fact that you can tune the sound with Soundcore's app is a game changer cause it will sound really good with anything. I rediscovered my whole music library cause that deep bass adds an extra satisfying layer to the music. It sounds fuller, hi-fi-ish and with the proper EQ it can go just as loud as the "50W" D8 and retain a better sound. As Alan said, just cause the D8 and D9 go "louder" doesn't mean it's the best choice here cause trust me you'll want to turn them down once your ears start hurting from listening to that loud mess. Granted the D9 might be at it's best when it's at max volume but that's the only thing it can do. It is very hard to describe, make you feel and listen how the rumble and soundstage is like with the Motion Boom cause when you A/B it with a recording vs the D8, the upper bass sounds bigger and boomier on sound but in reality you can't feel the overall roundness, rumble and shake of the room of the Motion Boom since it goes so low. Also obligatory, JBL Xtreme 3 is poop rant. Thanks for the review and comparison Alan :D TL;DR: Get the Motion Boom

I bought two Bugani M83s for £30 each (£60 total), a D8 for £63.99 and a Motion Boom for £62.99. One Bugani M83 is superior to the W-King D8 and the Motion Boom. The Bugani M83 overall had a more powerful bass, a wider sound stage and sounded more natural and balanced. The Motion Boom in comparison often sounded weak with a narrower sound stage like the music was coming out of a small box. The D8 sounded compressed and slightly harsh compared to the Bugani M83. The Bugani M83 was the clear winner.

Musicality, musicality, musicality. Deep bass is a big part of musicality and that huge headroom compliments it. Im still shocked how the MB manages such airy highs with no tweeters and just a slight bump on the eq. And the JBL is just horse shit. Another great one Alan!

[@KrazyShark]

Completely agree with you. The Deep bass add this extra layer that i didn't notice with other speakers. When I A/B test it with any of my other speakers, the soundstage and the bass makes it a much fuller and balanced sound. The highs are really amazing without the tweeters and the bass doesn't bother the mids and highs at all. Soundcore is definitely my favorite brand so far, JBL can go eat dirt trying to make us buy a +250 euros non-adjustable sound that gets it bass cut at +80% volume.

@KrazyShark94 I would also like to see an in depth review of the Soundcore 3. I'm trying to decide between it and the MaxSound Plus but there are surprisingly few reviews on the Soundcore 3. Soundcore makes awesome products but I'm not sure how it stacks up.

[@KrazyShark]

@@_-Z- I'm pretty disappointed about my MaxSound Plus overall, but that's cause I bought the Soundcore Motion Plus as well so yeah. My main selling point about the Soundcore 3 compared to the Maxsound Plus is that it's in the Souncore App ecosystem so you could probably adjust the EQ and make custom profiles which is the best selling point in my opinion with Soundcore cause the headroom is usually great and thus you can really get the sound you want.

[@_-Z-]

@KrazyShark94 I might just take a chance on the Soundcore 3, then. I know it's supposedly only 16watt vs 24 for the Maxsound plus but it's also a much newer speaker and has Bluetooth 5.0 vs the 4.2 on the Maxound, and lighter as well. Like you said, the Soundcore app is killer. I also have a motion plus as well as boom but want something between that and what would be considered a mini speaker just for easier portability but still with a balanced sound at a reasonable price ($50 or less). The only other negative I know of about the Soundcore 3 is that it doesn't have an aux in whereas the Maxsound does but that isn't necessarily a deal breaker for me. Thanks for your reply BTW.

[@KrazyShark]

@@_-Z- Ohh you already have the Motion Plus and Boom. I would definitely stay with Soundcore then. Maybe the 3 is what you're looking for. I also heard good things about the Soundcore Boost but it's more than 50 bucks currently on Amazon Europe. Don't get me wrong the Maxsound Plus is a great speaker but it sounded very flat and the soundstage is not as big compared to the Motion Plus. You could also dig into Soundcore's Flare series, heard good things with them. I didn't know they removed the jack on the Soundcore 3, i really hope they don't ditch it forever cause I would have used my Boom on my PC too cause the added low bass for games is amazing.

Hola Alan. En definitiva el motion boom tiene mejor calidad de audio y mejor bass que el D8 cierto? Ya casi compró el boom. Disculpa por escribirte en español, no sé inglés 😅👍🏻

[@alanrossreviews]

boom va más profundo pero d8 tiene más slam de graves superior

Please check out the Teufel Rockster Cross!

[@alanrossreviews]

too big and just a boombox i think?

[@KatzeKopf]

@@alanrossreviews just a boombox that kills every jbl xtreme at approx. the same size. German quality product :)

Hi Alan! Greetings from Romania !!! I have a budget of 150 GBP and I am looking for a wireless speaker. Which one would you recommend to me? I have watched your videos NO Jbl D8 better than D9 ( even after update ) motion Boom better than motion + confused??? please help me

[@bc-guy852]

Now that - is a review! The viewer can agree, (which I do completely) or disagree but you support your conclusions with DATA not just and A-B test; which is pretty subjective especially given most viewers are listening on a small speaker. I just purchased the D9. I was disappointed at how thin the bass is and exactly to your point - it just is not musical. (My old audio system was bi-wired Totem Acoustic Winds for towers with a B & W ASW 4000 sub so I am no stranger to musicality). I've decided to return the W-King D9 and aI m going to try the Soundcore Motion Boom. They're within a couple dollars of one another here in Canada. Great review. I particularly enjoyed the data. What are you using for an RTA? AudioControl? Oh yeah, I subbed, liked and sent to a friend who just bought a JBL. (Back in the day - we used to joke around the AV Shop that JBL stood for Junk, But Loud. But SONY was Soon, Only Not Yet and JVC was Junk Very Cheap, also No Highs, No Lows, Must be Bose!... just about every manufacturer who put marketing ahead of sound quality got tagged!)

[@alanrossreviews]

Ha! You left out soundcore! Not as easy as jbl or jvc 😊 tx for sub. Rew and a measurement mic, audio control would be overkill for my current use/needs.

[@actattackadmin1962]

Maybe a stupid question: how can we even compare 30WATTS (Motion Boom) with 60WATTS (W-King)? That means in terms of loudness the W-King should be 2 times louder, no?

[@alanrossreviews]

🤦‍♀ so much wrong with your short comment its hard to respond 😂. all things being equal 60 watts is 3db louder than 30watts but twice as loud would be apx 10db louder. loudness is not a measure of watts alone though, many factors involved notably driver surface area, amount of bass produced, the sensitivity of the speaker and even the definition of loudness, its measurement and its weighting. this is one for the forums if you are really interested in the answer.

[@actattacktheater]

@@alanrossreviews thank you so much! So that practically means there is not too much difference in the loudness of both speakers (W-King D9+Motion Boom) if we consider doing an outdoor party with 30 people, correct?

[@alanrossreviews]

@@actattacktheater i would look at motion boom plus if you want some extra volume outdoors.

[@actattacktheater]

@@alanrossreviews thanks! Last question: would you consider D10 (not D9) equal or better than Motion Boom in terms of sound and bass quality in general?

[@alanrossreviews]

@@actattacktheater for me personally i prefer the boom but the wkings are better suited to outdoor playing

After watching many of your excellent reviews, I have decided to go for the Motion Boom. However, for some reason it is not listed on the Soundcore EU website, so i can't get one here in Cyprus - very unhappy :-(

[@alanrossreviews]

It is weird how the website is out of sync with what's actually out there 🤔

[@atanasdionisiev3031]

How about amazon uk with delivery to Cyprus? Now it is at 89 $

[@mjrtensepian1727]

Alan, how is the Boom compared to pricier portables(Beolit 20, comparable Vifas)? p.s. Regarding mini speakers, would like to see a Minirig vs. Apple Homepod Mini

[@alanrossreviews]

beolit 17 that i had would be different league but not great at lower volumes. I can only assume the beolit 20 might be similar. Sounds fantastic at decent volumes though. i like the vifa oslo but the helsinki wasnt worth the price to me when i had one. they got bought out so not sure how that effects them and no app now.

[@xXadambXx]

in my opinion Soundcore Boom is amazing. Wking, unfortunately, always sounded somehow strange, despite the very high volume, which no longer gives a pleasant sound. You can tell me how this speaker sounds at 10-20%, because I'm looking for a speaker that can play lower than 80hz, but I won't listen to it loud. I do not count on the tribit stormbox pro, after I saw their price ... 150 euros ...

[@KrazyShark]

Same here, my W-King D8 when A/B testing it with my Boom just sounds awfully wrong. It's like missing whole layers, especially in the low bass / soundstage. The Boom retains great sound quality at all volumes, especially since you can use the Soundcore App to equalize it. I tend to max highs at low volumes cause it's a bit boomy, but then max low frequencies at full volume to keep the bass balanced. The D8 sounds very muffled and bass heavy below 50%, then sweet spot before hitting 80% where it becomes extremely harsh with the mids and highs. You could also get the Soundcore Motion+ that i absolutely loved when i got it a few months before but i really miss the deep bass when i listen to it despite the really detailed sound.

[@xXadambXx]

@@KrazyShark Now I use tribit maxsound plus mostly on 25-50% volume, but I miss deep bass, so maybe I don't need tweeters in low volume but I need this deepness. IF tribit now show his new speaker i think i will buy soundcore boom (I don't like design, but I think love sound, something like my auris xD I don't like much design, but this car never disappointed me)

[@KrazyShark]

@@xXadambXx Ohh you have the Tribit Maxsound Plus too, you don't really need the Soundcore Motion+ then, it's a nice small speaker. Definitely get the Motion Boom then, you'll get this nice open soundstage with a layer of tasty deep, low bass added to your music. The only thing i'm sad about the Boom is that it doesn't have a 3.5mm jack input so i can't use it for my computer because of the sound delay. I see a lot of people not liking the design and i can see why but the handle just makes me want to carry it around everywhere and the boombox look with the exposed passive radiators on the sides and speaker grill is what makes it for me. Just like the Auris, the design is maybe not the best but for the price you can't beat the performance :D

[@xXadambXx]

@@KrazyShark Yea it happen to smartphones, now will be bt speakers. Thank you for advice ! BUT it has usb c ... maybe we can use adapter ? You should ask anker

[@KrazyShark]

@@xXadambXx Oh true it does have USB-C and USB-A. Maybe with an adapter but i highly doubt it. I'm guessing Anker only made them for the power / charging otherwise they would've added it in the manual but who knows. I don't have any adapter unfortunately ^^'

Hey! I want to know if truly the Boom are louder than xtreme 3 at the outdoor. I want a speaker to outdoor party.

[@alanrossreviews]

about the same

[@Thepeopleschamp1983_]

It's now weird to hear you say d8 and d9, knowing that weed is known as delta 8 and delta 9.

So when i say i prefer d9 over d8 🤗😁😜

WOW.....HOPING YOU OF ALL PEOPLE CAN HELP ME.... I have the charge 3 but it's not loud enough for me I'm using it on my electric bike and need something NOTICEABLY LOUDER THAN THE CHARGE 3 with atleast 6 hours on 80-90% volume that's not TOO MUCH bigger than the charge 3 (I know it will be bigger if I want louder sound and good battery life) just not bigger than the jbl xtreme...... ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.... and anything under 300 dollars.... thanks again!

[@alanrossreviews]

Get the motion boom and charge it when required 😁

[@jay-ti7kd]

U give an advantage to the MB by using EQ whiles u leave the w kings on default. Bass up on those two too probably wud have made for an unbias comparison

[@alanrossreviews]

there is no eq for the w-kiong, wot u talking????????????? i only use app eq.

[@jay-ti7kd]

@@alanrossreviews I'm not talking about eq. The bass off n on buttons serve as significant improvements on the sound quality of the w-kings. They were not applied in your test at the lower volumes (40%-50%) Most pple hardly listen to these speakers beyond 80%

[@alanrossreviews]

you started by saying "U give an advantage to the MB by using EQ". Then you said "I'm not talking about eq" 🤦‍♂️ what bass on off buttons are you talking for the wking? first i heard of that. are you sure you dont mean the outdoor/indoor button presson of the play button?

[@jay-ti7kd]

@@alanrossreviews yah that's right. I'd like to see a comparison between w-king d10 , X10 and mifa wild box. All very powerful in their own right. It should be an interesting one😉

W-King D9 The best! Hooooo!

[@alanrossreviews]

yes greatest speaker ever 😂

[@KrazyShark]

@@alanrossreviews If it sounds like the D8, A/B testing it against the Motion Boom is so sad. It's like you removed the whole deep bass layer and the soundstage is disastrous. I honestly thought I had a tin can inside my W-King D8 speaker before I removed the grill.
