Soundcore Motion+ REVIEW - Still worth it in 2021?

Welcome to my full review of one of my favorite bluetooth speakers ever, the Motion+ by Soundcore. I have received this speaker as a christmas present back in 2019 and it has been a pleasure to use ever since. With its rugged design, long battery life, solid bluetooth range and the really amazing soundcore app that is available for Android and iOS, the Motion+ is probably still one of the best bluetooth speakers available despite its release taking place more than 18 months ago.

Thank you very much for watching this review! If you have any questions please leave them here in the comments and have a great day! 😃

Superb speaker, I needed something small but good quality sound to use in my classic car, I didn't want to cut holes and fit a system and this fit's the bill and fills the car with great sound! Totally amazed at the deepness of the bass from it's modest size!

Just bought it 4 days ago and super satisfied with the product. This speaker is surprisingly loud and crisp. Bass response is also very deep and punchy. This is the best speaker under $100. It can even outperform some $200 Bluetooth speakers.

"No affiliation with SoundCore" but you have "Advertisement" in the top-right corner throughout the whole video...? I'm a bit confused.

[ThibautMahringer]

It's definitely still worth it. Speaker tech isn't moving forward fast enough to justify buying speakers each year.
However in 2021, the new Motion Boom is definitely as good as the Motion+, but not in the same way, Motion Boom is kinda the antithesis of Motion+ : Each pro of one speaker is the con of the other one (Quick exemple : Motion Boom major strength is lower bass, where lower bass is the weak point of Motion+. And clarity is Motion+ biggest strength, where it is the weak point of Motion Boom).
With a Motion+ and a Motion Boom, you basically have the perfect cheap speaker combo for hours and hours of enjoyable listening.
Great vid !

Just ordered mine from amazon after an extend research... Cant wait to hear it! :)

[mohammadfaizulrosli]

Bought one last month… batt performance claimed 12hrs but actual its over, i tested playing songs on 70% volume continuously more than 12 hrs my battery didn’t reach 50%

[Sockylite]

What a great rewiew, you just answered every question I had about this speaker! I bought one from Aliexpress, and I'm quite excited to be honest, I guess it's worth the money. Thank You, Seb!

Thanks for a comprehensive review. I've now bought a Motion+ and generally very pleased. However after pairing it with my Walkman for the first time, the volume level was way too high - seemed like maximum! Do you think this has caused any damage to the speaker or is it designed to withstand this?

*HIGHLY RECOMMEND:* I have two large Bose speakers, but bought the Anker motion+ for my
workbench. ... I'm very impressed, and watch a lot of YouTube. The latency is excellent compared to so many other speakers.

I've used it for 4 years. The battery weaker now but still more than good enough for a day heavy use after fully charged. I use my LG phone equaliser for better sound, the original preset not as good.. A good servant and a good sounding speaker and very good value for money.

2 years ago I bought the Soundcore Motion Boom and have been alternating between the two. I think the Boom is better overall in term of bigger sound and with similar sonic quality and the bass more thumping definitely. Both are almost similarly priced now so the Boom is better value for money if you think of buying one.

[MrOawesome]

It's still worth it end of 2023, waiting for the motion plus 2

[ashrimoybanerjee]

How is the battery backup at 70% volume?Can I buy this for long term usage?

[jn_limitless]

Hi there & thank you for this review. I am about to order this one . But i would like to ask you if i buy 2 can i pair them from one device (my smartphone)? And one more thing. I would like to carry it on a rack on my mountain bike, so if i hit off road are there any problems? Thank you in advance! Techno & Mountain bike 😎🤘

[FrenzexTV]

Rave neo or motion plus ? In terms of better sound quality / clarity !!

[shaishavbhaskar]

Can we play music on these while charging?

[chijioke]

Thanks. Nice video. Can u take calls on the Soundcore motion +?

[PeaceMaker_COD_Mobile]

Does it sound better than Bose soundlink mini 2??

[Sportsman]

with aux does this have 0 to minimal latency lag? i want to use it with my dj mixer

[worlds]

Is it safe to use the speaker listen music while charging?
Thanks !
