soundcoreMotion x600 Bluetooth Speaker with Wireless Hi-Res Spatial Audio, 50W Sound, IPX7 Waterproof, Pro EQ, Built-In Handle, AUX-In, Portable Speaker for Home, Office, Outdoors

I purchased the Motion X600 last November for the full price and was blown away by how good it sounded.4 months later, I purchased a Motion 300 and was again blown away by how good this little speaker sounded. I was so impressed I went to purchase another Motion 300 but in green as I liked the colour and i was prepared to pay the full price of £90, but there was the Motion X500 on sale for £90 so I got this instead, ofcourse a no brainer! Especially at that price.I originally wrote a long review on the Motion x600 and these two other speakers, but... I kept changing my mind as to which was the best speaker rated from 1st to 3rd. I ended up deleting the review because I could not make my mind up. 🙃. This review was the top rated review for the x600.All 3 speakers sound fantastic! And have their own unique sound scape due to the different driver set ups. The build quality is top class, I've watched YouTube tear downs of all 3 speakers, and the build, quality, and components used are high quality, and the speakers are well made.It's surprising how soundcore can sell these at these prices? All 3 speakers are worth their full asking price, in my opinion, and are just as good as or even better than the big speaker brands out there, and for half the price.The sound quality is fantastic! The clarity is exceptional, Crystal clear vocals, highs, and mids with deep lows. The spacial, high-resolution sound is an experience when listening. The speakers sound open and much larger than their actual size and will fill a room with high-quality sound, and this is soundcores' first attempt at spacial audio! Well done! I haven't even tried the LDAC option because the sound quality already sounds high definition.Honestly, I can't listen to any of my previous speakers after listening to these soundcore speakers. I have tried... Trust me, I have a couple of large Sony bluetooth speakers, an Echo Studio, and a few others. They now sound like they have no clarity and sound muddy compared to the Soundcore speakers. I used to casually enjoy listening to my echo 4th gen speaker, but not anymore. It sounds awful compared to these soundcore series.Soundcore has done an amazing job with these speakers. The algorithms and magic they've used to create the spacial listening experience is an experience in itself. I wouldn't call it 3D where you can hear music all around you like some have stated? It's an immersive open sound rather than a directional sound like a normal Bluetooth speaker.For example, if I was blindfolded and played any of my previous Bluetooth speakers, I could point out exactly where the sound was coming from because the sound is directional. With the soundcore speakers, it would be harder to point exactly where the sound was coming from because the sound is much wider and more open and not directional if that makes sense.I now own a Motion x600, x2 Motion x500s, and a motion 300. I just love these speakers and have to give them the credit they deserve. I was lucky with the x500 as I purchased them when they were on sale for £90 & £80.The x600 is the better speaker. A wide open sound and the best spacial sound scape due to having 5 different drivers. Clearer instrument separation and more detailed.The X500 is more 'V' shaped sounding with a narrower sound scape compared to the x600 but has a higher sound scape and better vocals, in my opinion. I use the x500 most of the time. This is my go-to speaker.The Motion 300 is an amazing speaker for its size. It almost sounds as good as the others, less the power. Although it has no spacial speaker on top, it still sounds open and spacial, much larger than its actual size. Don't be fooled by its small size!The 9 band graphic equaliser in the app is great. I originally used the built-in soundcore signature equaliser but eventually created my own for a more personal listening experience.Whatever speaker you choose, you won't be disappointed. They are all 10/10 in my personal opinion and worth every penny, even at their full price.I would have liked to have seen the option of a power supply lead and also a removable battery compartment to replace the battery in the future. When the battery finally drains, will I still be able to power the speakers via the USBC lead? Just a thought.*Update* Dec 2024I finally purchased my 2nd Motion 300 for £60 on black Friday, in green. At such a low price, the temptation was too great! I paired this to my other Motion 300 via 'TWS' True Wireless Stereo and 'Wow!' As usual with these speakers, i was blown away by the sound quality. These speakers sound fantastic on their own but pair two of the same speakers together and 'Wow!' You're on another level. 2 Motion 300s in the standing position sounded better than a single X500 or X600, in my opinion. I even paired my two X500s for the first time but preferred the sound of the two Motion 300s.Pairing the speakers is a breeze. Turn on your 1st speaker and connect to your phone as normal, then turn on your 2nd speaker. Push and hold down the Bluetooth button on your 2nd speaker for 2-3 seconds until it flashes white. Then, on your 1st speaker do the same, hold down the Bluetooth button for 2-3 seconds, and the speakers instantly connect! You will hear this.The speaker with the 'Blue' Bluetooth light is the 'Left Channel', and the speaker with the 'White' Bluetooth light is the 'Right Channel'. It's that simple. Anytime in the future, when you have 1 speaker playing and turn on the 2nd speaker, they automatically connect. If you want to unpair both speakers, just hold down the Bluetooth button on either one of the speakers for 2-3 seconds, and they disconnect from each other.If you can afford to purchase two of the same speakers, i would highly recommend especially two motion 300s 👌 but, anyone of these speakers sounds great on its own. The Bluetooth connection on these speakers, whether pairing together or a device, is flawless.

Reason for purchase - I bought this because I was looking for a Bluetooth speaker I can move from room to room & the garden. It’s probably not more portable than that for most people due to it being very slightly too heavy perhaps, but most pertinently because it is so beautiful & you wouldn’t want to scratch it. No dust resistance a factor too. I have a silicone case coming for added protection.Design/ looks - absolutely beautiful. I bought the blue, but have heard the green really pops if that’s your thing. It reminds me very much of Bang & Olufsen in terms of looks & sound. Aluminium, feels great, buttons really satisfying to press.Sound - it sounds great, plenty loud enough to fill any room. For optimum.performance I/ we will need to use the app equaliser settings & probably have 2 different settings depending on the type of music. I find the preset treble boost with bass on as the best preset option, much better than the signature.For example, Eva Cassidy’s Fields of Gold & Enigma’s Sadeness album are simply incredible on treble boost. You will hear things you’ve not heard before… & I have the unparalleled Sony XM4 headphones… but then on some of my dance music such as Stonebridge’s Put Em High, Paul van Dyk’s For An Angel etc the bass is too heavy. Just taking the bass boost off makes it more than good enough, but can’t help feel it’s just lacking something then… a smarter person than me would have already found the perfect setting in between, but part of the fun will be tweaking the settings to find the right one 😉😂. Listening now as I write & just taking the bass boost off really is good in itself.I wouldn’t pay £200, but got it for £120 & happy with that.There are probably better sounding options out there if you are an absolute audiophile & there are absolutely more rugged options. But if you want something that sounds great & I have to say looks even better, this is a fabulous option.

I’ve been a soundcore fan for a while but , a certain brand I had began to fail, so after much research- spatial sound etc, what could be plugged external cd player and external record player via aux … wow!The app gives a lot of control of that deep sound we need sometimes .Yes it comes with custom sounds , but I’ve created 6 of my own to suit if I’m listening from cd or recordThe managed to use a Amazon input device to connect to my Alexa group speakers - superbStood in its own personally it is brillant and it may look small but do not be fooled . 50watts you can hear and feel.I listen to rock music and love then switch to a audiobook, the move to 80’s and it just does all I needHere is the plus : if you get two they twin and spartial is truly remarkableI have been in this game 25 years using music sound to heal veterans and this is best definatley for some timePlease note if you use Spotify you get a better sound as it has an additional equalizer , Apple you have to play more more getting the sound.Amazon is solely dependant on soundcore eq and it’s a richer sound .Sir James M Remington KBE

Looks good, feels quality, sounds...ok. The spatial sound is good at low/mid levels, but can distort and feel clumpy if any louder. My main gripe though is the battery. It doesn't last that long, say 8 hours, and then takes an age to recharge. Also, I wish it had a power supply so that it could be plugged in all the time, as I don't feel it's safe, or does the recharge unit any good being on charge all of the time. Other Soundcores are better...even the ones that are a fifth of the price of this one. Disappointed.One thing I will say is that the support from Anker is wonderous! I have several Anker products and can say they offer the best customer service from a consumers point of view. Never be afraid to buy from them...they've got your back!
