Design & Angle - It stands out for having a simple, subtle design. It does, however, make careful design choices, such as the angled speaker and tweeters, which improve sound dispersion and give the device a more appealing aesthetic. Its overall appearance is regarded as attractive and appropriate for a variety of room settings, despite the fact that it may not stick out among other speakers.
Lights - It does not feature RGB lights. Its compact rectangular form and gentle corners make it suitable for horizontal placement. On the top of the speaker are the control buttons, which also include a multifunction button and a BassUp button.

Portability - It’s highly portable due to its small and lightweight design. It can be easily carried in one hand and has hours of playback time because to its battery-powered operation. However, due to its weight and the fact that other features are given priority over extreme portability in its design, it may not be as portable in some travel scenarios.
Water Resistance - It seems sturdy and has a decent build quality. It has a silicone coating that increases durability and a metal grille for further protection. The buttons' texturing and IPX7 water resistance grade also improve the build quality. However, since the speaker might not have a precise rating for impact resistance, it is best to handle it carefully.

App - Motion Plus Link - It offers sound customization options through a companion app available for iOS and Android. The app provides preset EQ settings like 'Bass Up', 'Bass Off', 'Voice', 'Heavy', 'Classic', and 'Original'. It also includes a full graphic EQ for personalized sound adjustments. However, the app does not support features like Party Mode or Multi-Room, which allow for connecting multiple speakers. While you can pair two Motion Plus speakers for stereo sound, this can only be done via Bluetooth and not through the app. The app also allows firmware updates, displays battery status, and saves EQ settings directly on the speaker. Additionally, the app enables features such as setting sleep timers and remotely turning off the speaker.
Battery - It has a remarkable battery life that goes beyond the manufacturer's stated 12 hours. In tests, the speaker's battery life exceeded 15 hours. However, depending on usage, battery life can change. The power-saving feature of the speaker can be customized through the app and allows it to turn off automatically after a predetermined amount of inactivity. It has a 6700mAh battery, which offers a respectable amount of energy and even enables the speaker to serve as a power bank for other gadgets. The battery needs three to four hours to fully recharge. When playing music loudly, keep in mind that the battery life may be reduced; however, at 50% volume, it can last for 10 hours.
Controls - For turning it on and off, it has a power button on the side. There are five extra buttons for adjusting various settings on the top of the speaker. There are also buttons for Bluetooth connectivity, sound mode selection, and bass boost, as well as volume controls for raising and lowering the level. The speaker also contains a button for activating voice assistants like Siri or Google Assistant as well as for playing, stopping, and skipping songs in music. The speaker has rubberized feet at the bottom to keep it from slipping on floors. On the speaker, there is also a port that may be connected to the bass boost feature.
Power - Power and usability are given priority over glitzy aesthetics in its design. It provides a variety of features at an alluring price. It's USB-C powered and is constantly on when connected to power, even if it may be used for a variety of things, including as a soundbar or a TV speaker. This indicates that it can output audio continuously without needing to be turned on independently.
Voice Assistant - It has limited voice assistant capabilities. It relies on the voice assistant of your paired smartphone when connected via Bluetooth. In testing, it was found to have difficulty registering voice commands from recorded messages, even in close proximity and without background noise. However, it can respond to questions from a normal speaking voice, although this aspect is not included in the testing process.

Volume - It is convenient that it can be left on constantly. Additionally, volume can be managed digitally with tools like Google Chromecast, giving complete control over the audio output and a constant volume level.

Water Resistance - It is certified as being water and dust resistant with an IPX7 grade. It is totally waterproof and has a 30-minute survival time in water up to one meter deep. A sealed lid covers the power switch, 3.5mm jack, and USB port, keeping them safe from sand and water.

Dynamics - It has acceptable dynamics and can reach loud volumes that are appropriate for use at events or outside. The audio quality can be compromised by compression artifacts when played at full level, though.
John Panoryios, Jackson Smylie, and Yannick Khong - RTINGS.com
02/10/2021
Frequency Response Accuracy - Its frequency response accuracy is respectable. Despite the BassUp feature's existence, it struggles to faithfully reproduce low-bass frequencies, which could cause bass-heavy music genres to lack a deep thump and rumble. However, it provides a reasonably even midrange, making it possible for lead instruments and vocals to be audible and distinct. The speaker's treble is a little underemphasized, which results in a darker sound at higher frequencies. Thankfully, the companion app offers a graphic EQ that enables users to adjust the sound to their tastes.

02/10/2021
Soundstage - It has an acceptable directivity and a fair soundstage. However, rather than being open and expansive, the soundstage can be viewed as being quite tight. Its ability to play stereo content without downmixing it to mono is one benefit.
John Panoryios, Jackson Smylie, and Yannick Khong - RTINGS.com
02/10/2021
Sound Distribution - The Anker Soundcore Motion Plus's tilting design improves sound dispersion and projection. The speaker does a good job of producing a broad frequency range, enabling the representation of finer details in music, especially in the mid and treble registers. BassUp technology from Anker also guarantees deep, rich bass throughout the listening experience. The speaker produced pleasing sound quality in tests using a variety of musical genres, such as blues and music with a strong guitar riff.
Jennifer Allen - techradar
06/13/2019
Sound Quality - It surpasses what one would generally anticipate from a Bluetooth speaker in its price range, producing amazing bass and maintaining outstanding clarity in the mid and high registers. When compared to other tiny Bluetooth speakers, it performs better overall and has better loudness, bass, and sound quality. Even at greater volumes, it provides a larger soundstage and a smoother sound. It has a surprising amount of power for its compact size, and music played over it sounds clear and distortion-free. Even with less expertly crafted music, the speaker does well, capturing essential beats and minute details. Overall, the passage comes to the conclusion that the Soundcore Motion+ is a superb Bluetooth speaker, especially considering its $100 price tag.
Tweeters - The Soundcore Motion+ uses tweeters, subwoofers, and a passive radiator.

Usage - Music - With its well-balanced mid-range and excellent reproduction of lead instruments and vocals, it is appropriate for music. It might, however, lack low-bass intensity and have slightly underemphasized treble frequencies. Users can customize the sound profile to their preferences with the companion app's customisable sound feature.

02/10/2021
Usage - Podcasts - Due to its well-balanced mid-range, which guarantees crisp vocal reproduction, it's an excellent substitute for podcasts. However, because the treble range is not given enough emphasis, sibilant sounds could be slightly muffled. Additionally, it has the advantages of a loud loudness and a transportable form for simple mobility.
John Panoryios, Jackson Smylie, and Yannick Khong - RTINGS.com
02/10/2021
Usage - Videos & Movies - For watching videos or movies, it's adequate. With iOS and Android devices, it provides low latency, but other apps might handle latency compensation differently. Although it can produce a lot of sound, there can be compression artifacts at its highest volume. The speaker makes up for its limited low-bass and small soundstage by producing clear vocals through a well-balanced midrange, which enhances the immersive experience.
John Panoryios, Jackson Smylie, and Yannick Khong - RTINGS.com
02/10/2021
Usage - Voice Assistant - As it lacks built-in voice assistant functionality and did not respond to prerecorded voice commands during testing, using it as a voice assistant is not advised.

02/10/2021
Usage - Outdoor - It works well for outdoor use. It has a long-lasting battery, exceptional portability, and water resistance (IPX7 grade). Although it can be loud and is appropriate for playing music for a crowd, it may have compression artifacts at its loudest setting and may not have the best low-bass performance.

A perfect compromise for those looking for an economical but outstanding solution, the Motion+ clearly exceeds the $50 Earfun Go and Tribit Stormbox.
David Carnoy - CNET
12/10/2020
Comparison vs. JBL Flip 5 - A better speaker than the JBL Flip 5 is the Anker Soundcore Motion+. Since the Anker speaker doesn't down mix stereo information to mono like the JBL Flip 5, it offers a more immersive audio experience. additionally providing a longer battery life and enabling sound profile customization via the graphic EQ of the companion app. The Soundcore Motion+ also supports voice assistants, albeit it could be challenging to understand commands.

Comparison vs. JBL Flip 5, & Comparison vs. Soundcore Motion Boom - For bass fans or musicians, a pair of Soundcore Motion Booms is advised for correct stereo dispersion and enhanced dynamics. JBL speakers have good bass at low and moderate volumes. The Motion Boom is less cumbersome to carry than the Motion+ because it is not overly big.
r/Bluetooth_speakers
11/13/2021
Comparison vs. Denon Envaya 250 BT - The Soundcore Motion+ and the Denon Envaya 250 BT are the only two portable Bluetooth speakers under $200 that deliver a HiFi sound experience. The Motion+ speaker has superior volume and battery life, but the Denon speaker has slightly better bass. The Motion Boom, Rave Neo, Sony XB 43s, and JBL speakers are more entertaining-sounding alternatives, but they do not deliver the same level of HiFi sound quality. Some of these choices might have a deeper bass, but they trade clarity and fidelity for bass depth. Furthermore, larger speakers like the Boom and Sony may be difficult to carry in a backpack due to their size. Overall, the Soundcore Motion+ is more expensive than the Denon Envaya 250 BT.
Comparison vs. Klipsch portable speakers - For a home HiFi system, Soundcore Motion+ would probably be satisfactory. Specifically, the Klipsch portable speakers like The One II and The Three II may be a better option as reviewers who focus on home hi-fi products, like Zero Fidelity on YouTube, have given them favorable reviews.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers
07/16/2021
Comparison vs. Minirig 3 - The Minirig 3 is a great choice. It has a longer battery life, can charge ar phone, is small, and has louder sound. Most importantly, it can be appropriately expanded, enabling addition of an additional stereo speaker and a subwoofer in the future to achieve "hifi" levels of fidelity. Although it might cost a little more, the Minirig 3 offers a flexible and expandable system. The Minirig 2.1 can also be a good option for those with a home audio system.

07/16/2021
Comparison vs. Dopckin D Fine - A strong competitor in the $100 price range is the Dockin D Fine. With its increased wattage and lack of an app, it outperforms the SM+. Additionally, it offers superior audio quality and volume right out of the box, outperforming even the Exos 9.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers
07/16/2021
Comparison vs. Soundcore Motion Boom - The Anker Soundcore Motion+ is recommended for its clarity, soundstage, and detail, making it ideal for overall listening. On the other hand, the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom is recommended for its bass extension and volume, particularly suitable for bass-heavy music and outdoor use. The Motion Boom delivers powerful bass and can reproduce low frequencies, but the mids and highs may be slightly muffled due to the emphasis on bass. The Motion+ offers clearer vocals and has a 3.5mm audio jack for lower latency, while the Boom lacks the audio jack but still performs well in terms of latency. For those who prioritize deep bass and immersive sound, the Motion Boom is the better choice. However, if bass is not as important and clarity and vocals are more valuable then the Motion+ is a solid option.
Comparison vs. W-King X10 - The W-King X10 is highly recommended for its excellent clarity, powerful sound, and ability to play loud without sacrificing bass, unlike the Anker Soundcore Motion+. It features two woofers, two tweeters, and three passive bass resonators, providing a well-rounded audio experience. Additionally, it offers convenient features such as an SD card slot for MP3 files, an aux-in jack, and Bluetooth connectivity. The speaker is equipped with a substantial 15000mAh battery, although it is worth noting that it is a bit large and heavy at 7.7 lbs, which contributes to its impressive sound quality. There is also a firmware update available that addresses low bass issues in EQ2 mode.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers
07/16/2021
Comparison vs. JBL Flip 6 - Many people hold the Motion+ in high regard, but the Flip 6 is also an excellent choice. The Motion+ would probably be the best option for those who don't intend to partylink with friends who own new JBL speakers.
r/Bluetooth_speakers
11/23/2021
Comparison vs. UE Megaboom - Soundcore offers budget speakers with decent sound and high volume for basic needs. However, consider purchasing the Megaboom (Original) speaker in a similar price range instead. It is louder and provides significantly better sound quality. Refurbished models are a safe and cost-effective option on platforms like eBay or Amazon. Buying two Megaboom speakers for around $150 offers portability and sound versatility. They are lightweight, weighing less than 3lbs each, and a playthru carrying case is available for convenience. For larger parties, four Megaboom units would deliver an extremely loud sound experience. It is recommended to avoid JBL speakers until they include full 3.5mm auxiliary ports for compatibility with external speaker manufacturers and daisy chaining. Enhance the audio experience further by adding a Fiio A3 headphone preamplifier to this setup.

Inclusions - The box includes a quick start guide, an aux cable, a USB-A to USB-C charging cable, and the speaker itself. Additionally, the speaker comes in a plastic cradle. The box also contains a manual, a warning guide, a feedback form, a 3.5mm auxiliary extension cable, and a USB-C cable. It is highlighted that the speaker charges via USB-C, eliminating the need for a micro USB connection.
Drawbacks - Cleaning - The speaker's biggest drawback is that the control surface is difficult to clean and gathers grease easily, which can detract from both the speaker's overall aesthetic and user experience.

Issue - Sound - Any new audio track or stream that is played on the Soundcore Motion+ speaker constantly fades in loudness after the first few seconds have passed. On the speaker, this behavior cannot be turned off. The user has made the decision to return the speaker because they find it intolerable, especially when watching YouTube videos and listening to podcasts.
