soundcore Motion+ Bluetooth Speaker - Portable, Hi-Res 30W Audio, Enhanced Bass and Treble, Wireless, Customizable EQ, 12H Playtime, IPX7 Waterproof, USB-C, Ideal for Home Office

This little speaker has never let me down. Coming up to two years since purchased and not one issue in all that time.Today the speaker was on at just under half volume for 8 hours straight, still plenty of battery left at the end (again, this is after almost 2 years). Bluetooth connectivity is flawless, instant and easy. The controls on the top of the speaker are easy to press and fairly intuitive, meaning you can just reach over and adjust the volume or skip tracks without looking.Asides from a bit of rain I can’t comment on just how waterproof this speaker is, but a small amount of rain caused no issues.This has been used many times at get togethers with friends and family and has never failed to impress. The quality of the sound is fantastic, and it can get surprisingly loud. There is a bass boost button which noticeably improves bass, however where this speaker really shines is in its mids and highs (top tip - to improve the bass, position the speaker in the corner of a room, it makes a big difference).I have since upgraded to the ‘soundcore motion boom plus 2’ which has monstrous bass in comparison. It is also much larger and far more expensive.As far as value for money goes I believe that this speaker is unbeatable. It’s highly portable, small, sounds fantastic and (having been dropped multiple times over the years) appears to be indestructible. We have other ‘bigger’ brands of Bluetooth speaker in the house and to my ear the ‘motion +’ is easily the best of the bunch.

This certainly deserves 5 stars, even if the customer can make some improvements by using an Equalizer app to improve either the bass or treble, depending on what you're watching and what you want to get from this speaker. Still, I'll go into more detail on that in just a moment.The speaker itself does have some downsides so it's not all amazing rainbows for the product, but none of them can make this product a bad choice.The Bad notes:- It takes a long time to charge- The BASS button is overdriven- Slightly heavy and large to be classed as easily portable- The Bass by default is slightly underwhelming (But you can fix that)Now these are all genuine bad points to consider when buying this speaker, but all of these points are either pointless as there are ways around it, or not really that much of an issue. But let's move on to the good points.The Soundcore Motion+ speaker has excellent 30w of power, delivering enough sound for small to medium rooms without introducing clipping or artefacts. It is classed as IPX7 rated, which means you're more than safe to use it anywhere you want, as long as it doesn't remain underwater for a long period of time. The Bluetooth connection on this speaker is classed as 5.0, but in simple terms, this speaker will stay connected to your device as long as you remain in the same building as the speaker (excluding a block of flats).It also has a great battery life of up to 12 hours. I know others will say more, but as long as you charge it up after any heavy period of use, you're likely never going to use all 12's worth, and when you charge it, it will stop charging when you get it to 100%.To work around the bass issues, and improve the Treble simultaneously, I recommend downloading the equalizer app by Beat Blend Labs and selecting the Rock preset for great overall sound. You can tweak your profiles how you want depending on the content you're watching.✪ Would Highly RecommendI hope you have found this review informative in helping you decide whether to buy this product. I also have more reviews on my profile if that interests you.

I read all the reviews first, many of which went into a lot of detail about this speaker. I found this very helpful when deciding what to buy. For far too many years I’ve made do with playing music and my ‘brown noise’ when the neighbours start their gardening etc. directly from my iPad. However, I knew it was time for a speaker and settled on this. I’ve also recently bought Soundcore headphones (over the ear) and have been really pleased with these so I was confident in the brand. This speaker does not disappoint. It was so easy to set up via the app and the sound quality is superb. So much so, as others have suggested, it is worth buying two. I will do that soon so I can try the stereo effect. I would highly recommend Anker Soundcore. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of their products and they represent fantastic value for money. I looked at Sony and Bose, JBL and a cheaper brand but kept returning to the Anker speakers. I’m very pleased with mine and I will be buying more items from Anker in the future. They are solid, high quality, well made items. Thank you.

Decent little speaker this - especially at just over £50 when it's in the sale.Great sound and easy to use. Battery lasts pretty long.The app to connect to it and change the EQ is great. Very stable.Something I hadn't realised at first is that when the bass boost is switched on, its actually changes the EQ profile on the unit to be the bass boost profile - so it removes whatever custom profile you had set - in turn changing the treble/mid response. Not a massive deal because the unit is voiced pretty well for small spaces in my opinion.It's a speaker that works well in smaller spaces when you don't need it to bang hard - but it can be turned up for sure.I had the bigger one they do (boom something?) with the handle and loved that too but it was too big for casual listening on holiday, so returned and got this.All in all I'm pleased it it - and the price point is bang on. I don't think there's many other speakers at this price that can compete.
