Anker Soundcore Motion Boom vs JBL Xtreme 2

I am a fan of bass myself, and in combination with the elaborate complexity of percussive dimensions, the articulate and winding avenues of masterful bass rhythms are second to none. Still, the bass prominence is an obvious design choice for the XB43, and fortunately is executed well. Just know that should nearby (likely apartment situated) neighbors be a concern of yours, you'll not reap the full glory of this speaker without disturbing them.

The xtreme 2 will keep your partying going even in the great outdoors, with the battery optimized for full day. Playback, where most portable speakers...

The Anker Soundcore Motion Boom is the loudest Bluetooth speaker we tested with a smaller and more portable design. It comes with a carrying handle built-in to help you bring it along with you when you're out and about. It's rated IPX7 for water resistance, certifying it to be immersible in a meter of water for up to 30 minutes. This well-built stereo speaker also has a long-lasting battery life of almost 40 hours, making it great for long listening sessions spent outdoors

This is my third bluetooth wireless speaker that I own. I started off by purchasing a Braven BRV-1 some five or so years back and than a Nyne Bass just 3 years ago. The JBL Xtreme 2 is most definitely a better sounding speaker than my two previous purchases. I think the aesthetics are quite pleasing as the shape is friendly

Anker Soundcore Motion Boom for best bang for your buck. It's quite amazing the deep bass they get from this little speaker.

So if you do just happen to drop it in the pool or drop it in the mud because of this fabric material, you just simply hose it off and you're good to ...

I've reviewed three $100 Anker Soundcore portable Bluetooth speakers in the last year or so and they've all been quite good for that price. The Motion Plus is arguably the best-sounding compact Bluetooth for speaker for $100 while the Rave Neo, which appears to have been replaced by the Trance Go, works well for outdoor listening. The newest of the bunch is the Motion Boom reviewed here.

I had no problem pairing it with an iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus -- and it retains pairing with two devices simultaneously, too.

Either way, you can expect my zero filter opinion as always and I'll throw affiliate links to this beast in the description below so you can check the...

Someone asked me if I wear the same shirt in every one of my videos. Well, that's not the same shirt, just like the speaker that I have here today. Th...

And there you go. And you can go right there. You also have a USB cable in there as well. Alright, so the speaker is also a Bluetooth 5

but the MSRP they're asking for all of the different JBL bluetooth speakers is absolutely ridiculous.so when they do go on sale at makes you feel like you're getting a deal but if you look at the price it's just too much. For God's sakes these don't even have illuminated buttons so you can't see in the dark!!! It doesn't even have a built-in EQ!!! and with the sad one year warranty is that manufacturers are allowed to put on us while the in Europe they're getting I think it's two or three year warranty on their electronic items we get one we get taken advantage of and we're paying top-dollar top price for these items and get a one year warranty it's garbage!!! US consumers have been getting taking advantage of for far too long. The one-year limited warranty on electronics needs to be minimum of two if we're going to be paying hundreds of dollars for items that fail within a few years

I want to get a solid, loud and portable Bluetooth Speaker, I often read that the Motion Boom is pretty the best and loudest speaker in the price range.

I would like to see a little rubber on the bottom for better grip.. Ok, now lets focus on the speaker

*** 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

Yet for loud pleb music, especially at a distance, the speaker is still good and amazingly loud for its size, again as long as you don't listen to anyone who actually sings or plays real instruments. As noted, I have JBL reference speakers in my office, and can directly compare. I do not have the unrealistic expectation that a bluetooth speaker should sound anywhere near as good as properly positioned and aimed reference speakers on vibration stands, but having these allowed me to objectively quantify just how bad the mids or highs or whatever you call it on the Extreme 2 are. On certain songs the bass or low seems too intense and drowns out the mids and voices, and this effect does not vary linearly with volume

Just be aware of this depending on your uses, if you plan on having it more stationary make sure it will fit.

I thought it would have been a little. I heard that multiple times throughout the day, from all my co-workers, they thought the speaker was going to b...

Sturdy construction. Overall excellent design. Sturdy. I didn't find the Soundcore app necessary

2-by-11.4-inch (HWD) Xtreme 2 has a somewhat cylindrical shape that bulges in the middle. Rubberized feet on the bottom panel keep the speaker from rolling around, and dual 20mm/20-watt drivers project sound forward, through the grill-covered front section. They get some help from the dual 2
