SoundcoreMotion 300 by Anker, Bluetooth Speaker, Wireless Hi-Res Portable Speaker, IPX7 Waterproof, BassUp, Bluetooth 5.3, 30W Stereo Sound, 13H Playtime for Home, Shower, Outdoor, and Travel

This for me as a person whose career has been in music production for the last 40 years hits a sweet spot. Not too expensive, super portable, waterproof, long lasting battery, perfect for trips working out outdoors, etc. a lot of bass from a little speaker if you listen to music that has a lot of bottom like me. Definitely would recommend.

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 have owned a dozen various small bluetooth speakers over the years from Bose to pretty questionable and was looking for one specifically to take on trips. This one was on sale and had good reviews comparing it to the Bose Soundlink Flex at twice the price, so dove in and ordered one. My thoughts, it is a nice speaker much in the way of comparing a Chevrolet to a Cadillac. They both work fine and are quite similar in most ways. The Bose is more technically advanced and has a slightly cleaner sound in my opinion, but if you are not putting them side by side, a marginal difference. This speaker is what I would call a personal speaker, great for listening in a motel room when traveling or at home in a bedroom or even office. The sound level is plenty loud, but quickly starts losing the bass octaves at over half volume. I agree with others that the bass boost is a gimmick that does not work well at all. The sound quality out of the box is decent but using the equalizer app makes a huge difference. It is a totally listenable speaker for hours on end, just don't expect to entertain at a dance party or outdoor event, there are other larger ones that work much better for that. The size was larger than I thought from the pictures, but it feels very well made and has a good heft to it. For the sale price of under $60, it is a fantastic deal

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.
