Motion X600 Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Hi-Res Spatial Audio with Wireless 50W Sound, IPX7 Waterproof, Pro EQ, AUX-in, Portable Speaker for Home, Office, Backyard and Bathroom Use

I have been a fan of Anker's Soundcore lineup for a while. I have the Flare 2, Motion Plus, Motion Boom, and Motion Boom Plus and while not the best sounding of the lineup it is my new favorite Anker has produced. First off the aesthetics. Except for the Flare 2 I'm used to speakers from them that frankly are rather ugly. Plastic and rubber with a metal mesh grill on the front. What a beauty this speaker is. I own a lot of bluetooth speakers and this is right up there with best. The look and feel of this speaker is just a pleasing all around. Of course if I bought speakers just for the looks I would likely not own what us arguabley one of the best affordable speaker brands out there. The Motion Plus has some of the best mids and highs, but lacks bass. The Motion Boom has the best bass of any speaker for its size, but is lacking on the highs. The Motion Boom Plus combines those two to deliver what I would consider the best sounding speaker of the lineup. The only speaker I think sounds better than the Boom Plus at its size would be the Tribit Stormbox Blast. Anything better than those cost twice the price and are a bit larger. Going a size down my favorite would be my JBL Charge 5. So where does this speaker fall? Well I would say it is a larger Motion Plus with bass that comes very close to the Motion Boom. It doesn't match up to the Boom Plus but it is also half the size. If we compare to my favorite speaker one size down the Charge 5 it destroys that speaker. I saw some reviews claiming this speaker lacked bass... No it definitely does not. It may not hit quite as hard as the M Boom, but that like I said has the best bass of absolutely all bluetooth speakers at its size and the gap here is very small. Suggesting it has less bass the the Motion Plus though could only be possible if their X600 is defective. Lastly the reason I'm a huge fan of Soundcore speakers is honestly because they have the best eq software out of any bluetooth speaker brand I have come across. You can truly tune your speaker to sound how you want it to with a tremendous amount of control. Most custom eqs have little change to the speaker. I mention this because except for maybe the Motion Boom Plus I have not had any speaker that sounds it's best with the standard Soundcore Signature tuning and this speaker is no exception. Out of the gate it is lacking a tiny bit in mid bass which might be what the other reviewers are complaing about with lack of bass as most speakers are mid bass forward. Even my Charge 5 had a little more mid bass out of the gate, but this trumped it on sub bass. You can even crank up the sub bass but too much and this speaker can't handle it and becomes a bit distorted at higher volumes. Overall this is hands down the best looking and nicest sounding speaker you will find at this price point. There is no smaller speaker that sounds better, so if you want better sound you will have to go larger. I highly recommend!

I had bought Anker ear buds last year which were excellent for the money so when I was looking and saw this speaker with a $50 coupon and high ratings, I pulled the trigger and ordered it without much thought. Being a musician who usually takes about 3+ months of research to buy any piece of audio equipment, this was a big step for me LOL. All I can say is that this speaker has been great so far. It's a very cool, clean, modern looking speaker. The construction feels solid and durable and having the handle to carry it around from place to place is more of a plus than I thought it would be. The sound quality is excellent, bass is very good at low to medium volumes but gets lost a bit when you really turn it up (or that could just be my aging ears), and it is loud! I didn't notice any significant distortion at high volumes and the overall clarity and presence of the individual instruments was very good. I tested a variety of musical genres (jazz, rock, pop, punk, ska, hip hop, rap, classical) and all sounded good to great. The Anker app is great and gives you more flexibility with the EQ settings as well as showing the battery level of the speaker. The voice prompt when you power on/off isn't obnoxious like some other speakers I've heard, it's just a tone but you can also turn it on and off in the Anker app. Since I already had the app for my earbuds, I just needed to add the speaker to my devices in the app (click of a button) and I was good to go. The battery life seems solid. It does take a while to charge fully (about 6 hours) but from what I read you can charge while using it in a pinch, but you shouldn't do that all the time or it can cause damage to the battery. I tend to listen at a fairly loud volume most of the time and after listening to music for about 4 hours using the BassUp and Spatial features on, the battery level is still showing as about 60%-65% so I'd expect to get about another 6-8 hours before I have to recharge. In short, I am very happy with the speaker and would definitely recommend it. I am definitely considering getting a second to have stereo pairing.

I got the Soundcore Motion X600 for $150, at the time there was a $50 off coupon which they seem to do occasionally. I am not crazy deep into audiophile stuff but I enjoy good sound quality. I own several pairs of Sennheiser headphones and the quality of the Soundcore seems comparable to the best of them in my opinion, of course it is a speaker not a headphone. One of the reasons I got this was so my wife would have a speaker to play stuff through and I wouldn't have to listen to a tinny iPhone speaker struggling for dear life. I thought the spatial audio thing was a gimmick but it's like some sort of magic. You have to hear this speaker in person to believe it. Online video reviews don't do it justice. Music is balanced and crisp. Listening to a podcast is like the host is right in the room with you talking. It's amazing. Other pros include having an AUX input for redundancy and better quality than Bluetooth (although even on Bluetooth this speaker sounds great). I like that it's waterproof so I can take it outside or keep it around when doing home renovation projects and not worry about my speaker. Battery life is great, and in my experience I get more than the stated 12 hours, which may be due to some of my use being at a low volume (playing instrumental music on my desk during the work day). This speaker looks sleek too! Very pleased with my purchase after using it the past two months and hoping it continues to last.

Es difícil que un dispositivo de música, ya sea auriculares, altavoces o equipos de sonido tipo DAC me sorprenda a día de hoy. Llevo décadas escuchando música y he sido usuario de dispositivos en todos los rangos de precio del mercado. Soy de esos audiófilos que busca una experiencia inmersiva, definida y con una firma de sonido tirando a neutral, donde todo sea medianamente apreciable. No me gusta la exageración en los bajos de la música moderna ni el sonido que la mayoría de altavoces integran hoy en día. Cuando oí hablar del diseño y la idea detrás de este Soundcore X600 me sentí intrigado, aunque no esperaba nada especial porque ya me he llevado muchas decepciones o sensaciones de indiferencia a lo largo de los años. Buscaba un altavoz para uso en interiores que lograra llenar el espacio, con musicalidad, equilibrio, y que me permitiese disfrutar de todos los matices de la música que más escucho (metal, jazz, clásica, rock y algo de electrónica principalmente). El Soundcore X600 prometía un sonido espacial inédito hasta la fecha mediante el uso de dos botones especiales llamados 'Sonido Espacial' y 'Bajos Profundos'. Hasta que ha llegado este Soundcore X600, todos los altavoces que había probado en rangos de precio medios o bajos me daban la sensación de congestión o de intromisión de los bajos en las frecuencias medias, por lo que nunca pude disfrutar de estos géneros de verdad sin auriculares. El Soundcore X600, sin el 'Sonido Espacial' ni los 'Bajos profundos' activados, es un altavoz más del montón tirando a flojo (considerando su precio). Cuando lo probé sin sus dos extras estrella me dejó una sensación más bien pobre y sosa. Sin embargo, fue presionar los dos botones y me quedé mudo. Nunca un altavoz había conseguido una separación y espacialidad como esta. La integración del altavoz en la parte superior y el reparto de frecuencias está tan bien conseguido que no exagero cuando digo que en una habitación de tamaño medio-pequeño el Soundcore X600 te hace sentir la música en un directo íntimo pero amplio. La diferencia cuando aprietas el botón de 'Sonido Espacial' es abismal. Sin este botón este altavoz es un 5/10, cuando lo activas es un 10/10. Una auténtica pasada. Hay que experimentarlo para entenderlo. Con el botón de "Bajos Profundos" la música gana todavía más feeling y empuje, aunque a veces puede resultar necesario el uso de EQ para que los bajos no se coman demasiado el resto de frecuencias. En líneas generales la implementación de esta idea es sublime, en Soundcore pueden estar orgullosos. Cuanta además con una aplicación muy fácil de utilizar en Android con la que podremos actualizar el firmware del altavoz y utilizar diferentes EQs que podemos customizar o descargar de internet. También cuenta con la tecnología LDAC, por lo que el sonido transmitido por Bluetooth suena espectacularmente bien. Emparejado con dispositivos Sony como el WM1A se alcanza un sonido difícil de superar en dispositivos con este tamaño. Para un uso más allá de la música el altavoz pierde un poco desde mi punto de vista, aunque tirando de EQ creo que se pueden conseguir parámetros decentes. Por ejemplo, en películas el altavoz resuelve la espacialidad del sonido de una manera rara, que no me convence, generando un sonido un tanto desequilibrado, provocando un desfase entre los sonidos lejanos y los cercanos que a mí personalmente no me gusta. Cuando se activa el botón de 'Bajos Profundos' para darle algo más de chicha los bajos desfasan el sonido y se pierde claridad y transparencia, siendo bastante difícil encontrar el equilibrio con un EQ. No es imposible, pero los resultados no están a la altura de los que se consiguen con la música ni mucho menos. RESUMEN + Espectacular sonido espacial, nítido y potente en un altavoz portátil + Portabilidad bastante decente, con un diseño muy bonito + Batería bastante decente con entre 8 y 10 horas de música con los botones 'SE' y 'BP' activados + Tecnología LDAC, idónea para música de calidad con Bluetooth. - Sin los botones 'SE' y 'BP' activados el altavoz es muy normalito, aunque la batería dura más. - En exteriores se pierde parte de su magia, aunque sigue siendo muy decente. - El efecto en películas o videojuegos no se implementa tan bien como con la música.

Simply love it!

Comincio subito col parlare del suo peggior difetto: l'ascolto con i controlli "extra bass" e "audio spaziale" disattivati, comporta un suono riprodotto del tutto deludente, in quanto spento, noioso, insignificante. Ciò, al contrario della maggior parte degli apparecchi concorrenti, che sono già in grado di riprodurre da subito, una qualità audio al 90 per cento delle loro capacità senza dover agire su specifiche regolazioni. Quindi, prima cosa da fare: attivare entrambi i due controlli, anche se a mio giudizio, l'"audio spaziale" si può lasciare disattivo, con risultati obbiettivamente migliori. Successivamente, occorre perdere parecchio tempo con l'equalizzatore, questo sì ben progettato, che permette di agire su ben nove frequenze. Alla fine, quello che si ottiene è una qualità audio notevole, se si considera anche il prezzo a cui viene spesso proposto, ben al di sotto dei 200 Euro di listino. Adesso passo ad elencare gli ulteriori pregi e difetti. Pregi: - costruzione estremamente robusta, struttura quasi interamente metallica, con materiali di pregio ed ottime rifiniture. Per dare un'idea della sua robustezza basti sapere che mi è caduto sul pavimento, da un altezza di 80 cm e l'ho raccolto pensando che si fosse rotta la maniglia o ammaccato da qualche parte e invece niente! Neppure un graffio. - App veramente ben fatta, con utilissimo equalizzatore. Diverse regolazioni predefinite di fabbrica e possibilità di poterne creare nuove. - Presenza del Codec bluetooth LDAC, che consente la trasmissione di contenuti audio ad alta risoluzione (Hi-Res). - Volume di riproduzione notevole, anche se i 50 Watt di targa mi sembrano abbastanza ottimistici. - Ben 5 altoparlanti, di cui quattro in configurazione stereo, due per i medio bassi e due per gli acuti e uno specifico per l'effetto 3D , cosa non comune tra i concorrenti, anche se la loro reciproca vicinanza non permette un effetto stereo apprezzabile, ma ne guadagna sicuramente l'ampiezza della scena sonora. - Suoni bassi abbastanza sostenuti e alte ben estese. Per cui l'ascolto è abbastanza appagante (sempre dopo aver effettuato le indispensabili regolazioni). - La maniglia ne permette una facile trasportabilità, nonostante il peso. - Presenza di un ingresso aux. - Possibilità di usare un qualsiasi caricabatterie USB-C per la sua ricarica. _ Autonomia della ricarica, intorno alle 10 ore. Dipende anche dal volume di ascolto e dal Codec utilizzato, nel senso che l'LDAC abbrevia le ore. - Impermeabilità IPX7, quindi lo si può tranquillamente esporre (eventualmente) anche alla pioggia. Difetti: - non un vero e proprio difetto, ma l'audio spaziale a mio giudizio è poco "spaziale". Per averne una sufficiente percezione, bisogna ascoltare a non più di un metro di distanza e soprattutto, peggiora la qualità delle frequenze medio alte, accentuando le sibilanti sulle voci, soprattutto le femminili. Io lo lascio sempre disattivato. - Altro difetto: l'ho già detto prima, dover intervenire sull'equalizzatore o sulle preimpostazioni, per avere una riproduzione soddisfacente. E qui mi fermo, perché non riesco ad individuare altri difetti. In definitiva penso che questo apparecchio abbia ben pochi concorrenti, soprattutto considerandone il rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Maybe it's just me but I think there is too much hype over this x600. Oh it sounds amazing for it's size and the app is one of the best I've worked with. Build quality is superb. With spatial audio off it's just another boombox and an overpriced one at that. I've heard better for less Tribit makes excellent products. Spatial makes it beats all others. Not a gimmick...it actually creates a room filling hifi sound. Play hi res audio thru it and it's mind blowing. This can get real loud and I mean loud. Better than the Bose i've owned in all regards. The app allows custom audio settings so even the most fussiest people will find the sound they like. Instant bluetooth connect. Seriously this is a game changer in small BT speakers. The bass boost can be a little too much on certain music so I found myself keeping it off in the house in smaller rooms. Outside probably fine. The retail packaging alone is premium. You'd think it was a $1000 the way they packed it. Anker is good in that way. Make sure you charge to 100% before using it when it arrives. It took 3hrs for mine so it must come with a 50% charge. That is the one negative. Slow charge only. 5v 3amps is a joke. Fast charge is the new norm. I doubt 12hrs runtime is accurate unless you just leave it on with nothing connected to it. After a few hrs I decided to charge it and it took around 2hrs and I wasn't driving it hard. Of course there is no way of knowing the exact % of battery drain which is another negative. Even the app doesn't offer that info. Would have been nice to have a 100% to 0% gauge. Maybe next model will offer more features and better battery life. Slow charging is still ok planning use around that. I bought a padded case for it off of amazon. Got a refund and kept it because it was nothing like the ad stated. It's ok for storing it in to avoid dust etc but as far as other protection it offered minimal. Thin and cheap. So be careful which one you order. $29 is a joke dollarstore quality so was going to return it but told keep it and refunded. It's worth free. LOL Maybe there will be far better hardshell ones available or buy a case with removable foam inserts to custom fit it. Its worth protecting. 2 of these paired together would be amazing if you want mind blowing stereo. I might even invest in another if they go on sale again. It comes down do I recommend it. Oh yeah...no questions...it's that good. Don't expect too much from it and its great. They can only get so much from such a small speaker but it is stunning what Anker has done.

Anker Sound core X600 is one of the best Bluetooth speaker with excellent spatial surround sound and wonder how this little speaker produce that much room filling sound. Watching Movies feels like I'm in cinema theater and if you really want to hear it performance play Dolby Atmos supported videos. Very happy to get this price point 499 SAR even if you pay 800 SAR also it's worth. Very decent sound and not annoying like other speakers. I'm really satisfied with 50 to 70 volume and keeping 5 feet distance to feel theatrical effect. Highly recommended Go without hesitation at this price point. Thank me later.
