soundcore Motion Boom

The Soundcore Anker Motion Boom is one of the best Bluetooth Speakers I've interacted with. It is easy to use, has a very good charge, and produces a really good sound. The bass boost brings that extra punch that I was looking for too! If you take the time to install the Soundcore App and create a Soundcore account, you are also able to update the speaker and adjust its EQ. While I wish you did not need the App to do so, it is easy enough to use. This is a high quality speaker that functions well, and provides good bang for your buck (especially when it's on sale!).

So, I purchased the first speaker on Black Friday, and the second one a week after. I’m now just getting around to writing a review. When I received the first speaker, I thought that it sounded amazing. The sound is crisp. It’s clear. The bass sounds awesome. I am using these as indoor speakers for now. After receiving the first speaker, and then receiving the second one, I realize that the first speaker is making an odd hissing sound compared to the second one. I reached out to the seller, and I was able to receive a replacement within a few days. They are both connected to each other. And they sound amazing. The Bluetooth connectivity is quick. The sound coming out of both of these speakers is pretty incredible especially if you think about the amount of money that is spent on both. Out the door, because I purchased both speakers when they were on clearance, I’ve paid around $150. Is that a lot? Comparatively. However, if you look at their direct competitors, such as JBL or Sony or Bose, two of these cost as much as one of those. I understand that these are waterproof. I have not tested that out yet, but if I do, I will definitely update my review. Also, and keep in mind that these are exactly what they say these are. These are speakers that sound amazing that have an awesome base, and awesome trouble, and all in all sound like they are double or triple the cost of what I paid. Not Shamie, but just some the fact that these don’t have any sort of a smart assistant built in, may be an issue. However, they are connected to your device. So, your devices assistant, still technically works. The battery life on these things is pretty incredible as well. Keep in mind, I don’t have these on 24 seven. I can’t tell you this, since I’ve had these, and since I’ve been using these, I’ve only had to charge these things two times. Even at loud volumes, there is no sound distortion. There is no distortion of base, or the voice, or the trouble. To sum up, if you are in the market for a Bluetooth speaker that can function and work outside. A speaker that also has the ability of being around water, and a speaker that can float, definitely pick one or two or three of these up. If you’re looking for indoor speakers that sound amazing when they are paired together, definitely pick up a couple of these. If you think about it, two of these cost as much as one of the competitors. Trust me, I don’t think anyone would be disappointed if they were to grab one of these, even if it’s at full price. I’ve been ranting and raving about the speakers ever since I’ve got them to all of my family and friends. Two of my buddies have already picked up several of these for their boats and RVs. Oh… Almost forgot. There is an app that goes along with the speakers. Definitely download the app. You can change sound profiles, and you also can set your own custom EQ settings. The speakers will also install their own updates when you turn them on and you open the app. It will update drivers and update its own firmware. That’s pretty awesome.

Best speaker I’ve ever bought, it’s portable, heavy duty, weather proof, battery life is great, sounds amazing and not expensive. I’ve had it for 4 years. What else do you need?!

The Soundcore Motion Boom is the best sounding Bluetooth speaker I've ever heard … but only after installing the phone App and creating a custom "mid-scoop" EQ with it. Words fail to describe how wonderful and "musical" it sounds with the custom EQ. Rich, warm, full, detailed sound and effortless, deep bass. For a comparison, here are some advantages compared to the similar size JBL Xtreme 3 … which also has end-mounted, passive radiators to enhance deep bass: -- Motion Boom is $110; JBL is $380 -- Motion Boom battery life is 24 hours; JBL is 15 -- Motion Boom deep bass has no compression artifacts; JBL compresses at high volume -- Motion Boom sounds so much better with the 9-band custom EQ (not offered by JBL) *** Human Hearing & Loudness Contour *** Streaming music has a wide frequency range from ~50 Hz low bass to ~12kHz high treble. But human ears are most sensitive to 1kHz~5kHz … which can make music sound brash in the midrange. For more on this, do a web-search for: Fletcher Munson curve / equal loudness contour / ISO 226:2003. *** Custom EQ is The Key Feature *** The way our ears hear music is why home stereos have a "Loudness Compensation" button to cut mid-range. Pro musicians & sound men do the same thing with graphic equalizers and the resulting curve resembles a "U" or a "smiley-face". Being able to do this with the Soundcore phone app's 9-band EQ is a "game changer". It transforms the sound … but only IF you know how to set it ("mid-scoop" is not one of the standard Presets … it needs to be created as a custom setting) As a suggestion to Soundcore, they will get even more enthusiastic, happy customers and great reviews if "Mid-Scoop" is added as one of the four standard Presets in a future firmware update. *** How to Install & Activate the phone App *** 1. Visit apps.apple.com or play.google.com, search for the free Soundcore app and install 2. On the phone, go to Settings > Soundcore and make sure Bluetooth Access is enabled 3. Turn the speaker on, pair to the phone via Bluetooth and start playing music 4. Open the Soundcore app on the phone 5. In the Devices section, scroll down to the Motion Series, find Motion Boom icon and click on it to activate on this phone *** How to Set the Custom EQ *** 1. With Motion Boom selected. click on "Device Settings" on the App 2. Under the word Equalizer, click on "Soundcore Signature" … a new view opens with four Preset EQ options (none of them are very useful in my opinion) 3. Click on the small, grayed-out word "Custom" in the right bottom corner … a Graphic Equalizer appears with 9 adjustment points 4. Move the sliders to something resembling the photo in this review … my custom "mid-scoop" curve which makes changes in these areas: 80 Hz: up a bit - enhances deep, low bass 300 & 600 Hz: down a lot - cuts "boomy" upper bass 1.2 & 2.5 kHz: sharply down - mid-range cut for smoother sound 9 kHz: up a bit - boosts treble "sparkle" without adding harshness *** Notes *** To prevent physical damage, many Bluetooth speakers including the JBL Xtreme 3 use electronic circuitry to limit bass output at high volume. This can create unpleasant "compression artifacts" … odd, flattened dynamics & popping sounds on peak transients. By comparison, the Motion Boom's deep bass is effortless & relaxed, with no noticeable artifacts. In addition to the custom EQ, this is one of Motion Boom's most remarkable features … music sounds warm, full and unprocessed. It makes me think I'm listening to a small home stereo, not a portable speaker. Motion Boom's high capacity 10,000 mAh battery is rated for 24 hour run time. It can also be used as a power bank to keep cellphones alive during power outages (plug the phone's charge cable in the USB-A connector in the back of the speaker, under the waterproof flap) A USB-A to USB-C charging cable for the speaker is in the box but you need to provide your own USB-A wall charger. With a battery this big, its much faster to recharge with a MacBook or iPad charger, not a small iPhone cube charger. Or buy an Anker charger like the PowerPort 2 Elite. With the rear rubber flap fully closed, it's waterproof and floats if dropped in water (great for days at the beach or swimming pool) If you want to splurge, buy two and pair them together as dedicated "Right" and "Left" channel speakers by pressing the TWS (True Wireless Stereo) button. I hope this review is helpful.

Perfeita. Som limpo e sem chiadeira , mesmo no volume 100% e ainda sem comprometer o grave, muito pelo contrário. Estou usando ela a quase uma semana e só perdeu 20% da carga. Comprando ela você tem direito ao equalizador da soundcore. Caso você ache ela um pouco baixa sem personalização é só dá uma pesquisada num Equalizer no Youtube e testar um que mais te agrada. Não me arrependo nenhum pouco de ter escolhido ela ao invés de uma JBL, pois pra mim essa caixa é bem superior a qualquer outra da concorrência com a mesma proposta ( como exemplo, a Flip 6 e a Charge) e ainda foi bem mais barato.

Great Bluetooth speaker. Lasts all night for parties, is loud and clear with plenty of bass. Doesn't sound tinny like some other speakers do. Battery lasts forever, controls are simple, numerous people were able to connect and disconnect and control the music for a party. Would buy again

**Bewertung für Soundcore Motion Boom Bluetooth Lautsprecher von Anker** – **5 von 5 Sternen** ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 von 5 Sternen) Ich habe den **Soundcore Motion Boom Bluetooth Lautsprecher** von **Anker** nun seit einigen Wochen im Einsatz und bin mehr als beeindruckt. Hier sind meine umfassenden Eindrücke: ### **Klangqualität**: Die **Klangqualität** des **Motion Boom** ist einfach hervorragend – besonders für die Größe und den Preis! Die **Bässe** sind kraftvoll und tief, ohne den Rest des Sounds zu übertönen. Das ist eine Seltenheit bei Bluetooth-Lautsprechern dieser Preisklasse. Die **Mitten** sind klar und die **Höhen** sind fein abgestimmt. Ich war besonders überrascht von der **Stereo-Wirkung**, die der Lautsprecher auch bei höheren Lautstärken gut aufrechterhält. Der **Sound** ist ausgewogen, was ihn sowohl für Musik als auch für Podcasts oder Filme sehr vielseitig macht. Auch bei voller Lautstärke bleibt der **Sound klar**, es gibt keine Verzerrungen oder klirrenden Töne, was ich bei vielen Lautsprechern in dieser Preisklasse nicht immer erwarten würde. Der Lautsprecher hat wirklich einen beeindruckend **voluminösen Klang**, den man in dieser Größe kaum vermutet. ### **Lautstärke**: Der **Motion Boom** ist unglaublich laut! Er schafft es, einen ganzen Raum oder sogar den Garten mit **lautem, klaren Sound** zu füllen. Besonders im Freien, bei Partys oder beim Grillen zeigt der Lautsprecher, was er kann – die **Lautstärke** ist mehr als ausreichend, ohne dass der Klang dabei an Qualität verliert. Das ist ein echter Vorteil gegenüber vielen kleineren Bluetooth-Lautsprechern, die bei hoher Lautstärke an Klangqualität einbüßen. ### **Design und Verarbeitung**: Optisch ist der **Soundcore Motion Boom** modern und robust. Der Lautsprecher hat ein **klares, sportliches Design** mit einem Gummiüberzug, der ihn gegen Stöße schützt. Dank des **Tragegriffs** lässt er sich leicht transportieren, was ihn ideal für den Einsatz im Freien macht – sei es beim Camping, am Strand oder bei anderen Outdoor-Aktivitäten. Der Lautsprecher fühlt sich **hochwertig** an und ist gegen **Spritzwasser** geschützt (IPX7), was für mich besonders wichtig ist, da ich oft draußen unterwegs bin. ### **Akkulaufzeit**: Die **Akkulaufzeit** ist beeindruckend – Anker gibt an, dass der Lautsprecher bis zu **24 Stunden Spielzeit** bei mittlerer Lautstärke bieten soll. Das habe ich auch mehrmals getestet und kann es bestätigen. Selbst bei hoher Lautstärke hält der Akku erstaunlich lange, was ihn zu einem echten Allrounder für längere Veranstaltungen oder den ganzen Tag am See macht. Die **Ladezeit** ist ebenfalls relativ kurz, was gut für spontane Nutzung ist. ### **Bluetooth-Verbindung**: Die **Bluetooth-Verbindung** ist sehr stabil und die Reichweite ist mehr als ausreichend. Auch bei 10 bis 15 Metern Entfernung verliert der Lautsprecher keine Verbindung oder zeigt keine merklichen Aussetzer. Die **Kopplung** mit meinem Smartphone oder Tablet ist unkompliziert und erfolgt in Sekundenschnelle. ### **Zusätzliche Funktionen**: Der **Motion Boom** hat auch eine **BassUp-Technologie**, die speziell dafür sorgt, dass der Bass noch intensiver wird. Wenn man die Bass-Option aktiviert, bekommt der Sound zusätzlich mehr Wumms, ohne dass die Höhen und Mitten verloren gehen. Das finde ich besonders toll für Musikgenres wie EDM, Hip-Hop oder Rock. Ein weiteres Highlight ist die **PartyCast-Technologie**, die es ermöglicht, mehrere Lautsprecher miteinander zu verbinden. So kann man den Sound auf mehreren Lautsprechern synchronisieren – perfekt für größere Feiern oder Events. ### **Fazit**: Der **Soundcore Motion Boom Bluetooth Lautsprecher** von **Anker** hat mich absolut überzeugt! Er bietet ein fantastisches **Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis** und liefert eine **hervorragende Klangqualität** in Verbindung mit einer enormen **Lautstärke** und einer langen **Akkulaufzeit**. Besonders im Outdoor-Bereich, sei es beim Grillen, Wandern oder Camping, ist dieser Lautsprecher eine echte Bereicherung. Ich kann den Lautsprecher uneingeschränkt empfehlen, sowohl für diejenigen, die Wert auf **guten Sound legen, als auch für alle, die einen robusten und leistungsstarken Lautsprecher für unterwegs suchen. Ein echter **Allrounder**, der keine Wünsche offenlässt.

heel goede sound

I was unsure about the Soundcore Motion Boom at first because older reviews (from early firmware) said it was very bass‑heavy. I finally bought it in Nov 2025. With the newer firmware (0.55) and a custom EQ based on Alan Ross I modified it to my taste (+5, +4, 0, -2, +1, +2 , +5, +5, +1), the sound quality is excellent and rich with plenty of good quality Bass. The stock EQ that come out of the box are flat and muffled sounding and don't do this speaker any justice (Soundcore what are you thinking?), you will need to play with the EQ to make this speaker pop. I listen to dance, rock, country and metal, and the dual‑driver setup gives a wide stereo sound which I love. I bought it mainly for outdoor and garage use and it has great presence outside, but I now use it indoors too—bass at +5/+6 is plenty but I occasionally bump it up to 7 or 8. I notice that the bass quality is better and fuller when the volume is less than 100%. Battery life is strong and doesn’t drain when unused which speaks well for the components used. I only charged it 1 time since I bought it and with several hours of listening I am on 90% battery over the course of 1 month, Bluetooth works perfectly, and the speaker feels solid and rugged enough for outdoor use. The EQ saves directly to the device and you can store multiple pre-sets (i.e. no need to have the Soundcore app running). One negative: The app doesn’t show the EQ values and instead you need to click on each frequency to check what it is set to and the problem is that you end unintentionally changing the presents as it is very sensitive, and there’s no undo button. But still with this negative I find it hard to reduce even 1 star as I can forgive this and I consider the value proposition here. For £54, I couldn’t find a better alternative and I’m very happy with this purchase as a good value for money. I would highly recommend the Soundcore Anker Motion Boom Bluetooth Speaker. If anyone knows of a alternative Bluetooth speaker in this price range they would recommend, I would love to hear what you found.
