Soundcore Motion Boom Plus Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

Sound quality: at low and medium volumes this sounds absolutely incredible. The base is very deep and rich like something you would get out of a powered subwoofer. At higher volumes you realize that this is not magic, the drivers max out fairly quickly and the base starts to distort. If you are looking for a speaker for around a campfire this cannot be beat. If you are looking for a speaker to host a large outdoor party, you might be disappointed.

Battery life: The battery life on this is adequate, as long as you expect to plug it in each night you will never be let down. If you plan to take it with you for a weekend you will have to budget your time or volume.

Size/ weight: It is a little bit of an awkward size, it is too big to conveniently take in a golf cart so you have to use the basket behind you. It is however extremely light so it is not a pain to take places at all. The handle and strap are extremely helpful when going to a barbeque in your hands are full.

Waterproof? The very first thing I did with this was throw it in the pool to see if it is truly waterproof. I can say without any doubt it is completely waterproof and can easily be dropped or submerged in water for brief periods without any short-term or long-term issues.

Summary: if you were looking for a speaker to have in a room or around a fire or on a deck for a small gathering of under 15 people, this will be plenty. At anything under 75% volume the base sounds extraordinary, the meds are accurate and the highs are sharp and detailed. It performs way outside of its size. If you were looking for something to flood a large outdoor area or overtake a lot of peoples conversation volume (15+ drunk people) This will not be big enough unless you pull all of the bass out of it at which point it doesn’t sound very good anymore. Absolutely worth the money but again, manage your expectations

Sensacional exatamente como eu queria,
Muita qualidade sonora, mto satisfeito!!!

I have poor hearing and use high quality hearing devices.

I’ve purchased and tried other portable high end speakers including the BOSE MINI II, a pair of Apple Mini pods, a Phillips and a HP bluetooth speaker. Even a bookshelf stereo system.

While the Bose MINI II has decent audio for its small profile, it does not come close to to the full range of audio as perceived by me. The mini bookshelf system was so-so over all for audio quality; especially dialog.

I struggle with dialog (spoken or sung) as well as higher frequencies and in the past vocals, the twang of guitar (acoustic or electric), violins and other string instruments were a challenge to hear fully across the frequency range.

I read several non-Amazon reviews on this Anker model and all of them gave it the highest ratings including one website calling it, “the portable speaker of the year”!

You may ask, how good can a review be from a person who does not hear well.

My response to a question like that is, if I can hear low, medium and high frequencies now on this Anker (using my hearing devices of course) as well as the words of spoken or sung of both male and female, imagine how good this will sound to those with no or a minimal hearing loss.

This is the first speaker for me that is so easy to hear for lows, mids and higher frequencies. The twang of a guitar, the beat of a drum or a Bass Guitar and most importantly dialog, lyrics, and beautiful voices of singing that all come through on this!

The Soundcore app works quite well on my iPhone and iPad. I enjoy the equalizer preset settings which work well under most circumstances, but, having the ability to custom tailer all of the frequencies and save them under a custom name are a blessing for me. The app gives you full access for tweaking all frequencies and saving as many as needed for future use!

I’ve got some older music CDs ripped for streaming and a few of them actually sound far better using my custom settings then the pre-sets in this App. I will say again that the pre-sets seem to work well for most listening though. The default setting called “balanced” works well for me. Sometimes turning on the enhanced BASS setting is needed, but, if a piece of music is heavy on the BASS, I turn it off and still have sufficient BASS for that track. Dialog often does -not- need the enhanced BASS turned on because human voices are typically in the middle frequency ranges, not lower where deeper BASS is. Voices even without enhanced BASS on are fine for fullness and depth (they sound realistic).

As for build quality, the outer casing for this Anker Motion Boom Plus is solid and well made. The speaker grills are heavy gauge and the lugs where you attached the strap are solidly made of metal!

Given the excellent reviews by the PROs (CNET, etc) on line for this Anker model as well as the many 5 star Amazon reviews and other websites by owners/users, …..honestly,…none of them are inflated. The high ratings exist for a reason, this speaker is exceptional!

This “boom box” offers some exceptional audio quality along with clear dialog and very sufficient BASS and if it works for me being hearing impaired, as I said, it will work even better for those who do not suffer any hearing loss.

My only regret now is that I did not buy a pair to pair of them to use together in Bluetooth as left and right stereo and I will be ordering a second one soon to do just that!

5 Stars all around, I’m so delighted to have finally found a portable sound system that I can hear so very well no matter what I am streaming to it! The App alone deserves 5 stars and it is a vital asset for those wishing to fine tune their audio experiance.

Realmente vale la pena, calidad, precio recomendable, se escucha excelente
