soundcore Motion 300

Completely satisfied. I accidentally purchased this thinking it was a Bose speaker. I was very impressed with how it sounded and was even more impressed with the ease of pairing at. It charged very easily. The charge lasts over several months so far (I don't use it every day). I thought that those finally got this right. I have had Bose portable speakers in two areas of my house. They take forever to charge and the charging port never works on the first try. Sometimes I have to wiggle the wire and sometimes use another cable to get it to charge. The speakers are good but dialogue and words on songs are muffled. So I thought that Bose finally got it right. A speaker that sounds beautiful, holds a charge forever, and appears easily and charges easily. Then I realize that the little letter that I thought was up be on the front of the speaker signifying Bose is not a B, but capital S for sound core! I have been astounded. I bought a less expensive version to put in the bathroom where I had a Bose speaker and it sounds many times better. It is waterproof so I don't have to worry about the accumulated moisture of it being in a bathroom. I'm considering getting one of the more expensive sound course speakers to put in my living room. Can't recommend these highly enough. I've only had them several months but so far they are completely reliable and a joy to listen to. I never thought I would say that I would go with another brand of speakers. While I'm eating my words and I am a sound core guy now. How they put this much sound in such a small speaker for such a reasonable price and have the rest of the features operate flawlessly is a mystery to me and a credit to this company. I also enjoy the base boost button. I keep it on as it creates a great balance of sound and gives it a little more punch but not at all in a way that distorts the sound. I also like that I have been able to listen to podcasts and the moderators voice is clear and crisp (it was muffled on the Bose), and then switch to a range of music and have it sound very complete and enjoyable. Have recommended it to several friends. I think you will enjoy this speaker from your ears to your pocketbook. The look and feel of the speaker is also high quality. It's the whole platter in my opinion.

I have owned a LOT of cool, well reviewed Bluetooth speakers. These were a thoroughly researched upgrade from a pair of TriBit Stormbox Micro 1.0, which sounded very good and were more portable but ultimately not powerful (loud enough) for my usage plan. These 300’s are PERFECT for my specific needs, recognizing that there are bigger/better Bluetooth speakers on the market. I also think if you can snare them @$65 you’re getting an excellent value. PLEASE NOTE: I am raving about using 2 at the same time to create a portable stereo sound field. If you want just 1 portable/personal, potentially wearable Bluetooth speaker, you might want something else. The TriBit Micro 2.0 maybe, or a UE Boom series. For me these are perfect because, while each is heavy ish (solidly built), the pair is small enough and not too heavy for me to throw in a backpack. There are bigger more powerful portable speakers but I decided these were the biggest I could realistically fit in a backpack (with my other stuff) and carry as a pair. Making the extra effort to carry 2 and create a stereo sound field is, for me, the difference between a shitty one speaker AM radio and a pretty decent car stereo set up. The bass won’t send shockwaves thru your body and I can imagine wanting more volume, but when these are paired up they create a very good, clear sounding, balanced soundstage providing adequate volume for good sized wide open outdoor spaces. Personally, full volume is just a tad too much for my needs. Highly recommended. Make sure to upgrade the speaker’s firmware with the free Soundcore app.

It's rare that you find a product that it's clear how much thought and effort went into the design and construction of it. Soundcore by Anker has knocked it out of the park with this speaker, and I simply couldn't be happier. While this is more than I planned to spend on a Bluetooth speaker, it was well worth the investment as I can already tell this build quality will last a very long time. Connecting the speaker to my phone couldn't have been easier. It paired instantly and even renamed the device automatically so I can easily recognize the in the future. It does have an app you can download for more control over some settings, but it's not necessary. The Bluetooth range is impeccable. I cranked the volume up to max and walked ~150ft away before I hear the first break in connection. Speaking of volume, this speaker performs better than any other mobile speaker I've used before. While I didn't notice anything remarkable about the Bass Boost mode, it has a decent, well rounded audio profile already. I love the included loop that unsnaps to easily hang the speaker. While it's a little tough to unsnap it, the quality of the loop once again feels solid and that it will last a lot of use. Between the loop and the multiple arrangements of feet, this speaker is quite versatile in how you can orient it. The speaker will also automatically adjust it's sound profile depending on it's orientation. While I can I hear the adjustments being made when moving the speaker, I can't quite tell what impact it has on the audio quality. It might be more gimmick than anything, but I'm no audiophile and it's certainly not hurting anything. I love that the device uses USB-C to charge. This gives it faster charging capabilities over the older form factors, and I've already got plenty of these cables available (and the product includes a short cable as well). Overall, I feel this speaker is the best bang for the buck, easily justifying it's higher price point.

I bought two... No regrets.... Man the vocals are crazy. I do have the latest version of bluetooth over iphone 15, but even the 14 we tried with was the same. It's not a single speaker to blast a party... but in a house even a larger open area, it is more than enough and very clear at upper volumes. for the less than 1% of reviews that may say something negative, I have to assume they don't make many attempts to clear up the EQ or whatever. or maybe they got a dud, that happens in every product in the world. I literally turned it on, connected to phone via Bluetooth, opened Spotify and hit play... I do use the Spotify EQ, and so should you. Amazing sound from this small size. It can get loud and stay very clear to hear all the instruments and vocals, with the lows coming through and the highs not fading at all. Seriously bada** little speaker. Feels very solid and well made. Good weight to it also. Not sure how much better the double priced Bose model can be... this thing is more than good enough. The YouTube reviews will help you understand this thing is an amazing value without really compromising sound quality. The Anker brand is a very well established brand. Is it Bose? No. Bose is the best. Do I want to own two for the price of 1 and pretty much get the same thing? Yes please. Easy to carry and transport and great battery life. Really like the aesthetics. We bought the blue and green ones..., they were on discount vs the black. But both colors are understated and "cool". Housing quality feels very high end for plastic.

We were replacing an older, cheap Doss Bluetooth speaker that we loved, but it’s battery had seen better days and was having problems holding a charge. We actually purchased another Doss of the same model, but they must have changed some of the internals because the new Doss sounded like it was stuffed in a pillow. It went right back! We purchased a Bose SoundLink Flex which was comparable in size to our old speaker. The Bose had phenomenal volume and bass for the size, but sounded flat on top end to me. The Bose also reproduced sound in mono. I didn’t think that would be a big deal with the small size, but perhaps I was wrong. I don’t know if it was the lack of high end, the mono sound, or a mix of the two, but I couldn’t stand the sound from the Bose, and it had to go back. Now back in the market for another Bluetooth speaker, I knew I wanted something comparable in size to the Bose and our old speaker, but that had the capability to customize the sound and broadcast in stereo. This speaker fit the bill. Comparing this speaker side by side to the Bose, the Bose has a slight advantage to my ears in terms of raw volume and bass. If I didn’t have them side by side however, I don’t think I would ever notice. Both were clearly better than our old speaker. No side by side was needed for that. After downloading the SoundLink app, customizing the sound to my liking was very simple. I was able to crank the high end where I couldn’t on the Bose. I was able to hear those cymbals and screaming guitar solo in rock music like you should in person. I can hear the high registers on violins and flutes in classical music like you should. I’m sure audiophiles will scoff at me, but I like to hear music the way I like to hear it. This speaker let me do just that. The “BassUp” feature in my opinion is just kind of a gimmick. From what I can tell, all it does is pull down the highs. Again, this speaker has a equalizer on the app to adjust everything the way you want anyway. Placing the speaker in a corner or right in front of a wall gives more felt bass in my experience. The battery makes it at high volume for an entire evening’s campfire, so that works for me. I’m sure it would make an 8-10 hour day at a reasonable volume. The exterior felt more high end on the Bose, but this speaker is not bad at all. Both feel much more luxurious than our old Doss. It is noticeably heavier than our old speaker and the Bose if that matters to you. That being said, none of them feel like you are carrying a lead bar. The sound that comes from all speakers this size and weight absolutely amazes me! The slim shape makes it really easy to slip in a big pocket or bag or just carry. The build feels very solid all around. I haven’t dropped it yet, but if it’s anything like our old speaker, I am sure it would survive all but the worst falls. I’ve had no problem with Bluetooth connectivity, and it is quick to connect. At this point, I have no real complaints in sound or functionality. I think we found a keeper.

Unbelievable Volume Chest thumping bass Incomprehensible clarity Battery life so long I get tired before it does I walk all the way through my house and it never loses connection. Great range. Intuitive buttons that are really clicky. Really easy to figure out how to use it. Not to mention, it’s so adjustable and customizable within the app that it connects to. You can change almost everything about how it sounds. It even has a bass boot button. Functionality out of this world. It can sound like a speaker of one minute and a perfect classical orchestra the next All that, and it fits in a bag seamlessly! It has a carrying loop for a finger or a carabiner that attaches really well. And it’s waterproof?????

Great sound for a compact speaker! The Soundcore Motion 300 delivers powerful, clear audio with solid bass for its size. Battery life easily lasts all day, and the waterproof design makes it perfect for outdoor use. Bluetooth connection is fast and reliable, and the Soundcore app adds useful EQ options. Excellent value for the price, highly recommend.

I have many bluetooth speakers and I was curious about buying the Motion 300 from the plethora of excellent reviews I read about and YouTube videos reviews that I watched. Like many of the bluetooth speakers I had bought, I decided to buy 2 Motion 300 speakers for a true wireless sound. I must admit that the clarity that comes from these speakers are excellent. You can hear instrument separation and there are no distortion at higher levels of volume. The speaker is loud and it can be customized to your liking in the app. I'd create your own EQ to listen at the sound that is pleasing to your ears. The built is sturdy and is not cheaply designed like other bluetooth speakers in this price range. The Motion 300 is built to listen in 3 ways. Standing up, laying down and hanging up on the attachment on the side of the speaker. You'll notice the sound changes when you position the speaker in one of the 3 positions I mentioned above. The speaker is designed that way to change with the position you desire. That's the smart tune feature that Soundcore built to enhance the listening experience. I personally enjoy the speaker standing up. However, on its back, the smart tune feature switches to a 360 degree mode that has a wider range. The bass up feature I believe is not perfected, because it drowns out the clarity and treble and takes away the balanced sound. The LDAC feature is not as strong as larger speakers and enhances the sound marginally. I wouldn't use the feature because it puts a strain on the battery time. Soundcore promises 13 hrs battery life and at 50 percent volume you'll get 11.50. Higher volumes will get you less battery life. I would highly recommend the Motion 300. In fact, buy two and pair them. The stereo Soundstage is incredible and can fill a large room at 60 Watts between the two speakers. Soundcore has done it again with another stellar product that can compete with the big boys like Sony or JBL.
