[@gearupaaron]

Hey Robby, thanks for sharing... Happy to hear you're enjoying your new toys! 😁

[@ArnelZapataJr]

I just found out about Soundcore 3 days ago, how much did you buy the Motion 300 on Black Friday? I’m waiting until there’s a sale on it.

I love soundcore, great value stuff

[@gearupaaron]

Indeed! Thanks for watching 🤙

[@miguelchepan]

Great review, and such a detailed testing of the speaker. Keep it up 💪.

[@gearupaaron]

Hey Miguel, thanks!

[@philipm.4738]

I have the Motion + and it's fantastic. This looks like a nice upgrade from that. It's a nice looking speaker for sure, and sounds nice too! The orientation feature is pretty cool too!

[@gearupaaron]

Sounds like the 300 has your name written all over it, 😂

[@Blu3_777]

Dam what a nice yard, i mean i would be scared of the woods but still a very nice home indeed. Thanks for the content, have a nice day!!!

[@gearupaaron]

There really isn't much woods... The Penobscot River is just a short walk down the hill. We didn't want a giant forest as our property - too much things to deal with. Thanks for watching again, man! Have a safe weekend.

[@Roso-v5u]

probably the best testing of motion 300

[@gearupaaron]

Thank you for watching and the props 😁 Have a good one!

[@megakebab1702]

It didn't really kill the bose.. the bose still remains well tuned and has no distortion, while the motion 300 has to be tuned to sound well, and it distorts when adding lower frequencies on eq.

[@MicutzuMTZ]

Yeah but at that price point it SHOULD win. But the Soundcore is close to it 😊

[@megakebab1702]

@MicutzuMTZ well, now you got the soundlink flex 2 right? It's a different story. Both are great speakers.

[@rctechtime]

very distored

Not gonna lie 2 paird together is UNSANE you can throw 2 in a pack bag and take crazy sound where ever you go

[@GhettoLenin]

Where did you get that animated Mona Lisa wall hanging behind you?

[@W.D-q9s]

I tested both of them to the maximum extend - Motion 300 with (best) EQ from Oluv - and I can tell you - to be very presice: At a Volume Level of 10% - 50% the Motion 300 absolutely kills the Bose. At a Volume Level of 50% - 75% the Motion 300 equals the Bose. At a Volume Level of 75% - 100% the Bose kills the Motion 300 the higher you go to 100%. Info: It also depends on the music genre you listen to. The Volume Levels above are for Hip Hop / Rap. Meaning: If you listening to Electronic Music like House, Trance, DnB, Dub or similar - then the Motion 300 equals the Bose till 100%. - I even would say, that the Motion 300 sounds overall better with Electronic Music and EQ Settings from Oluv. With that said - The Motion 300 kills the Bose - because it has a wider Range of "balanced Volume Levels". btw - If you stay further away from it .... for example at 5 meters distance, the Bose sounds better with more bass. (except you listening to Electronic Music - then the difference is not that big...)

[@nikohiroyagami8377]

Where do you find oluvs eq for m300

[@juniorknowles-x2c]

buddy wheb you are that fae from the speaker its sounding like this theres no enhancement post effect when editing you did not raise the level a bit?what i mean is this is the original sound stage?

[@gearupaaron]

All raw files!

[@mikeevans7381]

Thanks Aaron nice job. Does the Soundcore really sound as good as the Bose? It's okay you can tell me i wont say anything. 🙂💯👍🇺🇸

[@gearupaaron]

Both are good. Bose has a warmer sound with slightly better mids, while Soundcore excels in the highs (which I find fun for the first hour before it gets too much).

[@rudolof8540]

Soundcore is stereo and bose is mono. Well not exactly like stereo V shape but at least doesn´t downmix the music like bose. Bose only shines in bass with this soundlink flex. Anker laks the punchy bass of bose but I nused to love bass when I was a kiddo, today I want more clarity in hgih frequency and better mids and less bass.

[@GOLFADDICT65]

got the flex 2nd generation Black Friday deal for 139 ( canadian ) 99 ( US ) i think thats a pretty fair deal no ? cheers from Canada

[@gearupaaron]

Not bad at all! Enjoy your new toy 😁

[@robbieasghari8361]

In my opinion the speakers definitely good and powerful for its size and has great price value I’d say. But I think the bass degrades too much at louder volumes. On some songs I only have to be playing the speaker at 50-60 percent volume and I can hear bass distortion. Try playing: Take Your Time Do It Right by the S.O.S band and turn it up to 50 or 60 percent volume or louder and hear the bass distortion. It just sound laggy at middle and or louder volumes. I hope that SoundCore can do something to fix this. I believe that they can. SoundCore support basically told me that unless a lot more people complain about the bass distortion. They are not going to do anything about it. (sadly :( I hope that SoundCore does something about this.

[@gearupaaron]

You're right about the distortion. DSPs can only do so much for what are ultimately small drivers on these speakers before physics says nuh-uh, no way Jose.

[@robbieasghari8361]

True but my JBL flip 6 sounds very comparable for its size. It’s actually a little bit smaller and on paper google says the JBL has deeper bass. I’d say the bass is smoother on the JBL flip 6 and the sound is overall more balanced in my opinion but the EQ is not as customizable as the SoundCore Motion 300 is

[@shoerice5083]

It's a bose "killah" because soundcore sent you that and you were told to say that😂 Any technical reviewer would say that the bose has more bass and it plays cleaner.

[@gearupaaron]

Nope, good assumption though. I generally don't say things flippantly to benefit a brand. Yes, Bose has more bass and clarity, but is it almost 2x better (for the price)? I don't think so.

[@shoerice5083]

[@francescocorona1183]

This or the JBL Flip 6?

[@gearupaaron]

For the price = Soundcore, for SQ = JBL (but just barely).

[@joser3613]

The tweeter on the Flip 6 is too bright and even more pronounced at higher volumes to the point it drowns out the bass.

[@PaulMathews-p4o]

JBL hasbeen brand.

[@jeffbellin8224]

The Flip 6 does have a pronounced treble. And its equalizer is limited. That being said, it's a punchier speaker than than the Soundcore. Music, particularly rock or rhythmic music sounds more exciting. But the Soundcore sounds more neutral. And its 9-band equalizer allows for far more customizable. Interestingly, putting the Soundcore on its back (laying it down) automatically adjusts the sound and it sounds closer to the exaggerated sound of the Flip 6. So the Flip 6 will give you more punch, so if a party is what you're after, the Flip 6 will do it. But rhe Soundcore will sound more accurate and give you greater flexibility in how it sounds. If you don't like the basic sound profile of the JBL, not a whole lot you can do about it.

YOU CAN ONLY HEAR HOW LOUD IT IS IN KZbin NOT STEREO

[@gearupaaron]

Agree. That's why I try to use the same equipment and location so that between each video viewers can have a more consistent comparison. It ain't perfect, but I try.

[@ezrad5273]

“Don’t be a moocher or a freeloader”-I didn’t know YT viewers are obligated to leave a thumbs up and subscribe to every video they watch. I thought we only had to do that for good, useful or entertaining videos. Funny to see a Vietnamese guy living in the US and telling his American viewers not to be a moocher or freeloader.

[@michael_c2]

This is a sponsored video? Didn't see that clearly stated anywhere

[@gearupaaron]

Technically, almost all my videos are deemed "sponsored" in the eyes of KZbin regulations. Even if we receive free product, that counts as sponsored and creators are supposed to click that "sponsored" button. And don't worry, it doesn't affect my personal opinions. Whenever an OEM insists I follow what they say, I drop them like flies.

@CarlosMunoz1980 That's not how affiliate programs work. Brand ambassadors maybe, but affiliate links are usually how companies get out of paying actual salary/fees to reviewers and influencers by promising a kickback for each sale made through the link. Like 99% of my links are via Amazon, but they definitely don't care what I say about the product (since I don't work for them) so as long as they're selling products.
