Anker Soundcore Motion Boom vs Sony SRS-XB23

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.

I have to say that i can justify the price of a hundred dollars, but because it is a small speaker, we aren't getting that super deep bass and really ...

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

I know this is going to get scratched up within a few weeks of me having this and taking it out to wherever i mean they have the exact same ip rating ...

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

The kind of bass depth it excels at is more in the lows and low-mids—the bass line on Pavement’s “Stereo,” for instance, sounds rich and dynamic here.

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Plus is arguably the best-sounding compact Bluetooth for speaker for $100 while the Rave Neo, which appears to have been replaced by the Trance Go, works well for outdoor listening.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've narrowed it down to 3 similarly priced (\~$100-130) options: SoundLink Color II, JBL Charge 3, or Sony SRS-XB33. Which would you recommend?

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...

For the price point, these speakers hit the spot. Excellent bass for its size and fills a room with music. I wouldnt take it outside too much as the sound might not be enough but for an apartment or bedroom, it’s perfect.

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

Having done this, it seemed as though having both phones connected by blutooth conflicted with the connection anywhere in the house. Though we were playing music from the iPhone, it seemed that my Android connection made the Sony device jump from the phone playing music to my phone which was not. The music would cut out until I went into my Android phone and turned the BluTooth connection off, so you have to do this manually eny time you want to use it. Perhaps that's typical of these devices

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.

ITS A PARTY!!!!!! I have had my share of speakers but this one here?!?! WOW is all I have to say. The volume on this device is amazing. So clear and loud. You may use this on the beach or poolside

*** 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

I'm not a big fan of the Sony XB23. I think the Anker would be the better choice here but its still not great. Check [THIS DEAL]([URL REMOVED] to see if you can still get the Sony XB33 for $62.

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

For info, XB10 is 9cm tall and 7cms wide compared to the XB23 22cm by 7cm. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

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

And even better if the buttons, especially the power button, are easy to see and proud.
