soundcoreAnker Motion Boom Plus Bluetooth Speaker, Portable Speaker with 80W Booming Sound, IP67 Waterproof and Dustproof, Type-C, Custom EQ, Bluetooth 5.3, Outdoor Speaker For Camping

The quality is very high, even for refurbished models. The value for what you get is seemingly too good to be true, with roughly 9 hours of battery life at full volume, and an extremely loud and full of bass sound, this thing can be heard from over 100m away!The sound is rich and powerful, and vibrations can be felt across the room. It is relatively light for its size, however can easily be slung over a shoulder or carried in a backpack. I have actually bought an extra since, and use them paired in wireless mode giving a very nice performance.The sound quality is surprisingly enjoyable across a range of genres however some consider it to give a “boomier” sound, it will not compete with any higher end and considerably more expensive and large portable speakers such as the JBL party box 710, but is on par with the JBL party box 310, albeit slightly quieter.After pairing two together however, it’s unbeatable for the price and is louder, nicer sounding and far more portable when you factor in its size and stereo sound mode.I have used this product both Indoors, for outdoor social events, and even for parties with multiple connected together, in fact we were visited by security due to the speakers shaking the walls!I highly recommended this product for anyone who wants a loud, deep and easily portable speaker!I highly recommend this product, and assure you that you will be very impressed!

The speaker is amazing in every aspect and represents incremental improvements over the old model - Soundcore Boom. The review will be built around comparison between Boom and Boom Plus.Pluses/Improvements:1) Even though boombox has become larger, the size of the boombox still fits into rucksack, sack with straps, on a shoulder strap or even carried in hand2) Weight is around 2.5kg, you can still easily carry it using shoulder strap or just in hand; it is definitely not heavy being carried in a rucksack. I was carrying it for an hour in hand and did not get tired.3) The body of the speaker is made from ABS plastic; you may think that materials used in Marshall or JBL speakers are more durable, but when you damage those premium speakers, there is not way to restore silicone, rubber or durable fabric; ABS plastic instead is still serviceable using glue, file or soldering iron4) The bass button improves bass dramatically; the old model was producing muddy bass almost unusable to listen to; bass from Boom Plus is clean, tight, punchy, deep, powerful, impactful. However most of the bass is preserved around 80-85% loudness. When you exceed that loudness threshold, mids and treble overpower bass5) When paired with another speaker, bass is becoming even more interesting; if you can afford 2 boomboxes, you should try it for yourself or check Youtube reviews6) Speaker got rid of the early issues detected on the model launch in May-June 2022 - passive radiators being blown out during exposure to sun and summer heat; firmware update fixed piercing highs around 6-7kHz7) "Soundcore Signature" sound profile visible as a sound graph within mobile application "Soundcore" got also updated/changed with the last firmware update and shines better than EQ recommendations from different vloggers and audio enthusiasts who are trying to improve the boombox sound using different tweaks and presenting them on youtube; this is the first time when "Soundcore Signature" preset produces better audio.8) The speaker is capable of playing 7-8 hours using maximum loudness; decent medium specs in terms of battery life;9) Passive radiators are submerged into the body of the speaker more prominently for better mechanical protection10) The speaker produces large sound stage, sounds powerful and involving, almost euphoric; make sure to place it on a firm ground with a wall behind it for better bass and power sound; Boom has more narrow sound stage due to the size and wattage11) Boom Plus features 80 watts of powers vs 30 watts from Boom, it is immediately noticeable and contributes to euphoric powerful sound and emotional attitude towards music; it is almost painful to listen to it inside the room on the maximum loudness and absolutely enjoyable outdoors; the sound is not painful at all in terms of proper maximum loudness level12) Boom Plus features titanium main drivers and two tweeters producing pleasant clear crystal highs; previous Boom models had only 2x passive radiators and 2x mid bass titanium drivers; driver setup inside Boom Plus is represented by 2x25 watt mid bass drivers, 2x15 watt tweeters + 2x passive radiators13) When I got my Boom speaker a yer ago, I also received a customer survey inside Soundcore app surfaced to those who has connected Boom inside the application; the focus of the survey was to receive customers opinion on the design of the Soundcore logo placed on the coming Boom Plus speaker grill with several photos having this logo small, medium or large covering the entire front speaker grill etc; back then I responded to that survey by saying that small company logo looks like a mouth, 2x mid bass drives look like eyes and tweeters appear to be ears of the "robot face", if you look into the driver setup behind the speaker grill ;-)) - I am glad that after a year I hold this very design in my hands and enjoy all this homework being done correctly.14) Custom EQ is still at your disposal to play with speaker settings; builtin profiles are Signature Sound, Voice, Treble Boost, Balanced; you can still apply custom EQ settings and save them; trick discovered earlier in Boom model - move all EQ sliders up to the maximum, which makes speaker 10-15 db louder - is still in place but the sound is not that clear15) Boom Plus features AUX port which was lacking in Boom model; now you can plug the boombox into your laptop, PC or smartphone using 3.5mm cable16) Boom plus still features powerbank capabilities, Type-C charging input; the difference is that rubber plug that covers USB, Type-C and AUX port is sealing them better, is constructed and designed better with less risk to tear it apart over timeCons:1) I wish the speaker had even more power 100-120-140-160 watts2) not sure that ABS plastic is a proper material, for speakerSummary: Boom Plus has become everything that Boom could not do a year agoNote: please remove plastic covers from rubber stoppers on the legs of the speaker; the bass is so powerful that speaker moves by itself to the edge of the bench and may fall into the ground, if the plastic covers are not removed from rubber stoppers on which the speaker is standing.

I'm very particular about my sound and find it very difficult to gauge a product through the internet alone. I needed a portable speaker that was both Bluetooth and had aux in, it had to be light weight, and it had to have decent battery life with minimal charge time. All of this at a reasonable price and a high quality. After much research and deliberation, I decided to go with this portable speaker and feel like I've hit the nail bang on the head!What is curious about this item is the powerful subs (that can be turned on or off) for its lightweight design. I've heard many people dislike the cheapish design of the speaker but I'm actually a fan. It's minimal, non-intrusive with a sleekness to it. There also being no material on it means any dirt is easily wiped off. But most importantly, it feels like it allows the sound to move through the case with ease, much like open back headphones.The sound is powerful, punchy, clear at high and low volumes and caters for all genres. Mine specifically being Drum & Bass, a category seldom used in video reviews.I can't speak too much about the battery life as so far, I have not depleted the battery fully as I have always been near a charging point. And its waterproof & dustproof features are something I may not ever needed but have it on good authority that they are to standard.For the price & performance, I don't think you can get a better deal. Brands like JBL I think are overrated and brands like W-King are not worth your time (I did and immediately sent it back)
