As many other reviews have stated this is an almost perfect, and to some perfect, bluetooth speaker. I waited a few weeks before leaving a review to be sure, but I love it. The sound quality is excellent, as many others have stated this thing gets LOUD. Use the custom EQ for the best sound (I'm a rap fan so as a bass heavy genre it handles it perfectly!) Noticed minor clipping on certain songs ("Top Back" by T.I. for anyone who knows it as an example) just go down one notch from max and it's good. Definitely plan on buying a second to link together and my ONLY gripe is that it won't accept more lol. It CAN play while charging if not charging from a fully dead battery, it will cut off until it reaches a certain level. Haven't played it constantly so I can't speak to the total battery life just yet, however, I've used it intermittently for a couple hours for an entire week and it lasted with no problems so I imagine a full day at the beach would be fine. The update solved the issues in the comments on the EQ saving and mine saved right out the box. Outside of that, it's done everything I needed and more, can't wait until we can get back out and I can use it for it's intended purpose! Stop reading reviews. I read over 400 on various competing products and watched hours of YouTube videos so I got you on the research lol this is the one. Update: 12/21/21: I've owned this speaker for about 2 years now so I have a full understanding of it's quirks and features and everything in between. My original statement still stands..... BUY IT. I have since bought another and saw someone else mention they are running more than 2 so please share how because I would have one in every room of the house if I could. These have been everywhere. Thrown in the back of the truck on beach day and plays LOUD the entire day. When we hit the beach it's from 10-5 and they last the entire time. I have received so many compliments from other people on the quality of sound from such a small speaker and the speakers themselves have been all in sand, had water on them and continue running without a hiccup. Someone mentioned it being "invisible to bluetooth" not sure what they were doing but I can hook these up to anything (and have)... Phones, my laptop, my surface, my TV, everything. I've been checking for an updated version but honestly if it's not broke then don't fix it and these just work perfectly. And for $100 you can't beat it.

Out of the box, the sound lacks bass and some highs. Downloading the app and tweaking the EQ makes these speakers really sing. I put on some Steely Dan and played with the EQ for 5 minutes and then they were good to go. They remember the previous EQ setting when you next use them, so you don't have to adjust every time. I bought two so I could pair them into stereo mode. They sound good and produce stereo sound alone, but two together is quite impressive. These are replacing an old pair of JBL Flip 4's. The Flips were fine, but the battery life was fading. I would use them at moderate volume about an hour per day, and I would have to charge twice a week. The new Motion+ are a bit larger, louder, sound better, and the battery life is 2-3X longer. Overall excellent speakers for the price so far. No Bluetooth connection problems and they seem to be solid and high quality. Highly recommended if you're willing to get the Soundcore app and tweak the EQ for a few minutes. I uploaded a photo of my settings. Try making yours similar to mine and see how it goes.

I know a lot about and own several Bluetooth speakers. I own I think the largest "party speaker" that Anker makes the Rave, which is a very excellent product. I also own a W-King, also a very excellent product. I was using my W-King on my nightstand about 2 feet from my head. I had acquired a desire to upgrade the W-King with something perhaps more elegant and smaller and less utility looking. Eureka! I happened upon this heavenly creature of a Bluetooth speaker. The W-King currently costing $75 dollars is still the best bang for $75. If You are not so poor that you can't squeeze another $25 dollars out of your wallet, I very strongly suggest that you pull those rubber bands from around you wallet, let those moths escape and kerplunk down $100 and buy this box instead. I used my W-King as a reference point in my quest to hopefully replace it. The Motion+ is half the size of the W-King and sexy. It has the build quality and appearance of an Apple product ( Dr. Dre. Pill on illegal steroids.) Hold on to your hat ....... although smaller, this thing plays louder and clearer than the W-King, I mean actually. If I had not myself purchased this and blindfold tested this, I would swear that I was hearing a Bose Wave CD player. I had considered buying a second Motion+ but decided not to. Unless you have to realize the added dimension of stereo you'd be make something that sounds really good, sound really good and loud. I don't need that in my life. A second one of these would be a waste of money as you would always be listening to the two at a low volume setting. (Two of these could work out for you if you throw parties. Your guests would be wondering where is he hiding his towers and subwoofer ?) Thank You Anker !!!! This is a revision to my prior review. I previously stated that owning two of these would be a waste of money. At this time I would like to retract that statement as nonsense. I took the plunge and bought a second Motion+. My position on the matter now is that two of these make something that sounds good, sound better (probably something to do with increased power bandwidth using two). I have these installed on either side of my headboard. I sleep literally bathed in hi-fi. I sometimes sit on the other side of the room astounded that that sound is coming from those tiny drivers and passive radiators, (A coup de gras for Anker research & development and engineering.) However I should point out as some other reviewers have there. is a problem sometimes with bluetooth connectivity. I choose to call this phenomenon "line of sight radio wave interference". If you learn to live with this system, the problem will loom as minuscule. Also some reviewers have complained about the sound quality. I could only imagine that these people do not or don't know how to use the included Soundcore equalizer. ( With this, and any audio system a graphic equalizer is essential to optimize performance and sound quality.) Using Anker's or any good equalizer app plugin I can find nothing wrong with the sound of this box. ( What doe's anyone require from a box that's 9.5 by 3 inches and cost one hundred dollars and has a battery and is portable, and fits in your pocket if you wear a big coat ???!!!). Thank you Anker.

5 Year edit: It's now 2025 and the Motion+ is STILL my favorite speaker overall. I now have a much larger speaker for the garage gym to really move the bass, but only because we bought that for an outdoor event. The Motion+ still looks and functions as it did on day 1. Sound is still excellent! It's main use now is indoor in my home office. One area that this speaker really excels in is sounding incredibly high end at lower volumes. Original Review: This is going to be long winded, but I'll likely answer a lot of your questions My intended purpose was to replace an aging Bose SoundLink Mini 1 that I was using for music in my garage gym. The SoundLink mini is an impressive speaker when it's size is taken into account. They provide a deep, full sound and produce great bass, but struggle when turned up much past 60% (at least mine does, but it is old). What I wanted was a speaker that could get louder while still producing a quality sound. I found that in the Motion+. When I first unboxed it, I noticed that it is heavy and has a very solid build. It is, however, it's not beautiful. The rubberized outside feels good and feels like quality and there are two rubber feet on the bottom to keep it in place. When first powered up you are greeted with the power up and pairing tones. They are honestly less annoying than others I have heard, though I know of no way to disable them. Pairing was VERY fast and straightforward and I can get a good distance away (I didn't measure though) without hiccups. It comes out of the box with Bass Up mode enabled. Listen... Bass Up mode sucks. It honestly should be called Treble Down mode. Yes it increases the bass, but not as much as you can in the custom EQ. I played a few songs in Bass Up mode just to see what I heard and as stated above, did NOT like it. I then played with the provided EQ settings in the app. I think if you are going to choose a canned EQ setting from the Soundcore app, the "heavy" one is decent. After that I played with the "custom" EQ settings and the speaker really started to come to life. Once you settle on an EQ setting you like, the SPEAKER retains those settings. So even if you pair it with a different device it will still play with your EQ settings. Now, I also have a built in EQ on my OnePlus 6T and decided to try that. First I turned off the custom EQ settings on the speaker (best way to do that is to hit the BassUp button on the speaker twice. Once turns on the BassUp profile and a second one turns BassUp off, reverting to "bassoff" mode). My OnePlus EQ has some "general enhancements" setting that I applied and I played with the sliders and it sounded pretty awesome. Then, I applied my custom Soundcore app's EQ on top of that and WOW! One EQ was awesome and two were even better. My next major test will be to try the speaker from different sources. I have access to a couple Samsung S9s, some android tablets, etc. I don't own any iPhones so I can't test that out. I'll update my review after doing more testing. I played with it for a few hours yesterday and even played it a bit in my car on the way to work this morning. I did find that the sound actually seemed to change slightly after playing a while. I don't know if speaker break-in is real or not, but I believe that the bass has become fuller and warmer after a few hours use. I'll update on this aspect as well. I am eclectic when it comes to music so I'll give a quick rundown of the types I've tried and what I thought. - Country music: I played several Chris Stapleton songs and I felt this showcased the speaker the absolute best. All the instrumentation came through warm and clear. - Heavy Metal: This is a WIDE genre and will likely be what is most often played on this speaker (it's for my gym, remember?). I found that "industrial metal" (Rammstein, NIN, etc.) needed a little massaging in the EQ to separate sounds better, but sounded great afterward. I ended up leaving these minor adjustments in place because they helped all the other music too. Atreyu, FFDP, Volbeat, etc all sounded powerful, loud and full. - Rap: Honestly, on day one I was ready to say that this speaker just sucks for beat driven hip hop music. However, after playing with the settings and letting it "break in" (if that's a thing) I was wrong. For example, I recently played "come and see me" by Ludacris which relies heavily on a bass line that varries from low, to really low with some thumps thrown in. I could hear all the deep frequencies, the slightly higher bass tones, and the periodic thumps moved my speaker. After that I threw on UGK's "Gravy" which also relies heavily on bass and it sounded fantastic. Now, how about that bass, since that's why most of you are here. This speaker is able to play really low frequencies, but it will NOT "hit you in your chest". You will hear all the bass, but you wont feel the bass... why? Because it's a freaking portable bluetooth speaker, not your home theater system, your bookshelf system, or your car stereo. If you want to FEEL the bass in your chest or whatever, you'll need to pony up for a speaker with enough size to resonate those sound waves. Doing so, you'll likely lose a lot in portability and whatnot. However, I have heard that the "w-king D8" is a good bass head speaker. Check out some YouTube reviews (or just order it, it's super cheap). Another thing to note is that the high frequencies are capable of getting louder than the low frequencies. As you crank this up, the bass will reach a point where there just isn't enough room inside the enclosure. People say you "lose bass" as you increase volume, but you don't, you just stop increasing bass at a certain point while the treble keeps on going. I've ran mine at somewhere near 90% volume and I can tell you that the drivers are still increasing their work, because the speaker basically starts having as seizure. It's just that there isn't any more space inside to resonate the waves. The reason, and the ONLY reason this isn't getting a full five stars from me is that my speaker farts. Yes... you read that right but only when cranked to uncomfortable levels and bass heavy music. There are a couple possible reasons for this. I could be asking for the passive radiators to do too much (I have two EQs, after all). It could just be the way it's designed (although I have read a TON of reviews on here and Reddit and never seen anyone mention this). Or my unit is defective somehow. Think about that last one though. If I DO have a defective unit, and my review is still this good, what does that tell you? I will reach out to Anker/Soundcore support just to ask some questions because their support is amazing. I've had other products from them and they provide the absolute best support I've ever received. To end (for now), this speaker really should be an automatic buy if you are looking for a portable BT speaker with high end sound under $100. If you are looking for "slap you in the lungs" bass, get something LARGER. I don't care what brand it is you can't get more real bass out of a package this size... physics is physics.

This is such a beautiful speaker that sounds really amazing; especially for it's size!!! I haven't updated the firmware on any of the 3 Motion Pluses that I bought or downloaded the app yet; so my review is what I think of them straight out of the box. Anyway, when I first spotted these things on Amazon, I just knew that I had to have one (and then 2 more after I got 1 of them). Pros: 1) Really really great sound out of these things even with the BassUp feature "OFF". 2) For larger rooms turning "ON" the BassUp features helps just enough with the bass in larger rooms without bogging down the sound. 3) Tight punchy bass with or without the BassUp feature "ON". 4) Mids & highs sound fantastic, very clear with great instrument separation. 5) Pairing 2 speakers together makes these sound even better for increased stereo separation and fullness of sound—and the BassUp feature isn't needed as much when using 2 speakers. 6) Beautiful design, it's the best looking speaker that Anker has made to date, in my opinion. 7) IPX7 rated...so it's completely waterproof. 8) USB-C charging and cable (I think that the first charging time on one of mine was about 3.5 hours but charge faster with a better socket adapter, or so I hear). 9) Still has an 3.5mm stereo auxiliary jack and supplied cable. 10) Battery level indicator shows up on my iPod even without Soundcore Motion application installed. 11) Decent battery life (12 hours) however, one of mine, so far (haven't tested the others yet), has exceeded the 12 hour mark. I listen to it just below half volume and this is usually enough volume for me. 12) This speaker sounds better and is louder than the Soundcore Pro (the most comparable equivalent to this speaker). 13) You can turn the BassUp feature "ON" and "OFF" with this Motion Plus speaker but you can't do that with the Soundcore Pro. 14) There is an application download for this speaker that I hear has some nice features on it but you can still pair it up with another speaker to get a right & left channel stereo paring without the app.—totally unlike the JBL flip 4s and JBLs which require their app to get their pair speakers out of "Party Mode". 15) It's a little wider physically than the Soundcore Pro and the Boost so the stereo separation is still a little better than other models, even without having to pair it to another speaker, POTENTIAL cons but ONLY if these things are important to you (they are usually NOT a problem for me): 1) Although, it has good battery life the Soundcore Pro (another Anker model) has an 8000 milliamp battery (18 hours of battery life) and this one is only a 6700 milliamp battery. It might have been nice to get a little bit of a bigger battery in the Motion but it's not that disappointing to me that we didn't. 2) The Soundcore Pro has a standard USB port so you can charge your phone from the speaker. (This is not important to me as I would rather just carry an extra Anker battery charging bank to charge my phone rather than use the speaker's battery.) 3) It doesn't have quite as much bass as the Soundcore Pro—if you're primarily into really heavy bass, which I am NOT. This is NOT a con for me personally because I think that the Motion Plus has the perfect amount of bass with or without the BassUp turned "ON". I found that I always needed to EQ down the bass on the Soundcore Pro to get it where I personally liked it. I don't have to do that with this speaker. 4) This speaker is larger or wider than the Soundcore Pro and the Boost; so if you're looking for something really small, this speaker might not be quite as easy to carry around as the Boost or Pro. (This is not a problem for me at all though; I actually like this feature a lot.) 5) No multi light battery indicator on the actual speaker itself—but the power button does start flashing red when batteries are getting low. (It would have been nice to have battery level lights on the speaker but I am still okay with it showing up just on the iPod and/or on the application.) 6) Has sizable quantized volume increases for every click of the volume button however, these increases are NOT nearly as bad as the larger jumps in volume on the Soundcore Pro. Only 3 of these potential cons represented any problem for me: * the battery play time * no battery level indicator lights on speaker * the sizable volume increases However, these issues still haven't seemed to have been that big of a deal so far because I get more than the expected battery time because the speaker is loud enough so I can just listen to it at lower volumes and get longer battery life that way. Also, I can track battery levels on my device and/or application so this isn't much of an issue with me. And as far as the sizable volume increase, I seem to be able to micro adjust them when using my finger along the slider (at least with the newer iPods and iPhones, older ones seem a bit more jumpy). Anyway, this is a really great speaker and I highly recommend it!!! NOTE: If you like your mids and highs scaled back some, then I would highly recommend the Soundcore Boost and if you really like a lot of bass with a dip in the mids, I would then recommend the Soundcore Pro. All 3 of these are good speakers though.

The Soundcore Motion+ is an elegant design with excellent ergonomics that elevates this speaker above & beyond. It feels substantial in your hand and well built. The volume controls located on the top of the speaker are perfectly centered between the bass drivers on either side, and the front passive radiator which allows for easy navigation. Technically, the Motion+ excels with an AKM DSP featuring active crossovers for its four amps, each with its own dedicated power supply, silk dome tweeters (which I believe are Scan-Speak design), bass drivers with large neodymium magnets coupled to two passive radiators and USB-C charging. It’s a brilliant design that is supremely executed. Hats off to the sound engineers that collaborated on this speaker! Once you’ve unboxed and charged your Motion+ you’ll want to update the firmware and set up the custom EQ. To do that you’ll have to download the app. To use Ankers Soundcore App, you’ll have to accept giving up a huge amount of personal data analytics, so I chose to install the app on a tablet. Just beware. The Soundcore Motion+ will save your custom eq setting, however, you’ll want to delete the Soundcore app and re download it to verify that the settings are correct. The app will lower the sliders if they’re in between whole dB’s. Once it’s dialed in, you shouldn’t have to open the Soundcore app again. You'll want to refrain from pushing the bass up button on the top left of the speaker, since that bumps you off your Custom eq setting. The only way to get back to your saved eq preset is from the Soundcore app. I set the 9 bands of equalization all below flat to give the digital amplifiers extra headroom, keeping any audible distortion at bay. See attached photo. Since this speaker isn’t a three way and audible distortion is most prevalent at 1kHz, I set that band to -5 dB. Next is the lower and higher mid ranges at 700 Hz and 5kHz which I set to -4dB. 500Hz and 8kHz are at -3dB while 300Hz and 12kHz are at -2dB. Lastly, keeping the bass strong, I’ve set 80 & 150Hz at -1dB. So how does it sound? It’s airy and open projecting a surprisingly effective stereo image thanks to its silk dome tweeters mounted at the outside corners and tilted at a 15* angle. It’s balanced and capable with all genres of music from EDM to jazz, reggae to heavy metal. Horns, piano and vocals are beautifully rendered by the tweeters, juxtaposed by the bass capabilities of this speakers dual passive radiators. On Spotify, Amazon and Apple Music under shared playlists is my favorite titled: Epic House-Dance Music 4 The Soul. Some stand out tracks from Epic House-Dance Music 4 The Soul that sound fantastic on the Motion+ are: “Angels (Feat. Nora Jones) Thievery Corporation Remix” Wax Poetic- Norah’s voice floats around the room, amazing stereo separation. “Lips Like Sugar (Way Out West Remix Edit)-Echo & The Bunnymen- Punchy drums combined with some killer bass lines and melodic synth combined with sexy lyrics and a memorable rhythm guitar, this track sounds great blasted all the way! “Radiation Ruling the Nation(Protection)- Massive Attack. Even at max the on purpose distortion in this track sounds so authoritative! “I Want You (John Morales M+M Main Mix)-Marvin Gaye. This 9:36 long Masterpiece, highlighted by bongos, piano and saxophone are easily distinguished in the mix, throw in Marvin’s amazing tone, and man is this song better than the original? I think so. An analog 3.5mm jack is provided for those times when Bluetooth is not an option, however sound quality is best when left in the digital domain given the Motion+’s DSP. Speaker placement is important for the Soundcore Motion+ to sound it’s best. A solid surface such as a granite counter top, placed near a back wall, or corner placement can help accentuate the low end punch of the Motion+. A helpful hint is to hover the speaker in whatever area you’ve chosen and place the speaker when the bass moves your hand the most. Placing the speaker just inches one way or another can have a dramatic effect! This speaker excels indoors in moderate sized rooms, and can sometimes struggle in larger rooms or when played outside. The Motion+ puts out some serious SPL’s for such a small device. Have The Motion+’s USB-C plugged into power along with using the speakers volume control not the source device when you’re seeking the loudest output. The longer I live with this speaker the more I appreciate it. It’s an attractive design that’s understated yet compelling. For example, the power button glows white while powered on and changes to a blinking red when the speaker is running out of juice. In this state it automatically plays at a reduced volume until plugged in. Once plugged in to a charger via the USB-C port, the Motion+ increases in volume and continues to play while charging. Nice touch! I purchased a second Motion+ and my observations are that something magical happens with this speaker between the 3rd and 4th charging cycle. Keep that in mind when listening to yours. Critical listening should happen after the Motion+ is played for 30+ hours. In regards to Bluetooth connectivity, I highly recommend having a dedicated music source other than your phone. That awesome playlist playing from your phone while your phone is blowing up? It’ll be paused by the speaker from all the notifications. I modded mine, see photo, by super glueing a convex item over the bass up button, ensuring my speaker will always sound good! :-) The Soundcore Motion+ is a technical marvel of inspired engineering. I am consistently blown away by its performance. Highly recommended!

TL version: great sound with the companion app to balance the speakers EQ and take advantage of its balanced drivers. $100 is an absolute steal for the size (just short of the keys section of your keyboard) and sound with great dispersion, sound stage and bass impact [with the EQ tweeked] Excellent for a cheap sound bar solution as the voice clarity rivals my center channel speaker, absolutely shocking me tbh. First let me say i own an absurd amount of bluetooth speakers, everything from $20 pharmacy brands to the mega-sounding Aiwa Exos9. So when I saw anker get into the speaker game a few years back i figured it wouldn't be great - but not bad either. For the most part the soundcore line has been that, but has made considerable improvements over the years. some, like the soundcore 2 to 3 jump was not. the motion boom to motion boom +: Very much. I held off on the motion+ (this model) for a while and ended up getting it on prime day super cheap. While my wife wasn't happy to see another speaker sitting around... i sure am. Without seeming too full of myself, lets just say at 40 my hearing is well above that of a normal teenager let alone anyone my age. Because of this I've wedged my way into testing groups and other audio testing, my electrical engineering degree doesn't hurt either.. now on to the motion plus: its a unique size to be honest, its larger than what the price range would indicate, bigger than a bosemini for instance, smaller than an aiwa exos 3 but carries a price tag of $100-$120 USD which puts it into a questionable scenario based on suspicion alone. it has a weight that makes it feel well built, and a coating that to me says it doesnt. The coating is this rubberish coating that over time does wear out and become smooth (ala the soundcore 2 has), but its not a turn off. i don't expect an aluminum finish for these acoustics or price. The buttons are standard it seems on all soundcore speakers, up/down, bluetooth/tws, multi B button. this speaker also sports a Bass-UP button that i suggest you never use. it resets the EQ sound profiled to Bass-up and pressing the button again resets it to original. as features go, would be nice to see a scrolling EQ when this is pressed even if there is no visual aide to indicate where youre at. nitpicking folks, at its finest! Sound wise this thing shines. its frequency range is top to bottom for anyone to hear, and the soundstage disperses sound in leveled sweet spots from about 3 feet on a desk, about 12 feet out you start to loose the distinction but not the sound. this is above average for this sided speaker and i found myself using it more in situations where a smaller speaker wouldn't work. During my tests battery life was on par to what is listed as 12 hours, although like with all speakers the type and level of listening matters. I'm tempted to buy another and line them up next to my mid-sized go to pick, Aiwa's Exos 3... even though that device is larger slightly theres considerable comparisons. what might set the motion+ apart is its forward firing sub driver and open air port in the back, which puzzles me as to how it has a reflex port in the rear AND an ipx7 rating. you can bet im going to take this apart soon to find out... just as soon as i take a break from enjoying the sound of this thing during work. final conclusion is pretty straight forward, the negatives are few with the battery life being maybe, maybe a stretch the only down fall of this speaker. simply put, you will not find a speaker at one hundred dollars to replicate this sound. period. probably ever.
