Anker Soundcore Motion+ vs JBL Flip 5

Brought the anker soundcore motion+ based on reviews to replace my ancient bose soundlink mini that died. The sound, even though newer bluetooth standard is no way near the rich attractive sound of the bose and I'm now sending it back. Im just shocked that the reviews were misleading or that after all these years the soundlink still sounds so good and size so compact.

So going over bass first here for a small Bluetooth speaker it is good you get nice punchy bass that's enough to make pop and EDM and some hip-hop son...

0, which is not bad considering that was released over 18 months ago and in terms of range it covered 100 of our 1200 square feet. Loft and roughly 60...

Don't knock the bluetooth speaker -- even a small investment like that can make a huge difference. I travel a ton for work and I bought a modestly priced JBL Flip 2 years ago for my laptop. Won't travel without it now, and definitely BIFL as it's taken a real beating. I watch movies and stream from my hotel room in beautiful sound

This Soundcore Motion Plus has an even more solid bass and clear treble and is a perfect size for our small living room. The bass boost is solid and with 30W of power should fill most spaces with thundering volume. Two devices can be linked for a true stereo effect, but for a small room the sound experience with a single unit is excellent The device is water and splash resistant for outdoor use, but gives piece of mind for use in my living room where spills from cats and grandkids are possible or if I wanted to take it to the kitchen. It would also be perfect for use at your cabin or on your deck or patio

The only thing I dont like is the instruction manuel print way to small. I couldn't even read the booklet with my glasses.

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

Bottom line, research Tribit and Trelab for speakers as good for half the price. Or spend the $ on Klipsch for good audio engineering, not waterproofness.

The value is great. Okay, 100 bucks. That price is right. Now you got 30 watts room filling sound 12 hour play time, ipx7 fully waterproof qualcomm, a...

So the JBL Flip line of speakers is pretty much the default for anyone that wants an outdoor Bluetooth speaker. It's either that or something like the...

you read that right but only when cranked to uncomfortable levels and bass heavy music. There are a couple possible reasons for this. I could be asking for the passive radiators to do too much (I have two EQs, after all)

At more moderate volumes, the bass depth sounds thicker, but this is not a speaker capable of producing subwoofer-like depth. It makes up for it by pushing out the lows and low-mids with the help of the passive radiators.

I had to share my thoughts on this wonderful speaker and i think it's one of the best portable bluetooth speakers in his class, given its price range ...

Owned a lot of their charge and flip bluetooth speakers. Bought the Flip 5 recently and realized it doesn't have an aux, big dissapointment since I connect things like the PS5 or the switch to them through an aux cable. Was planning to buy the Charge 5 and surprise, no aux neither??

Afraid that this junction may fail at some point due to a wrong connection! This is a very weak point in my estimation for this speaker, being that it has to be charged often. Comparing the iPhone charging port to this? The Soundcore, is inferior. Could of done better in design, especially for people who wear glasses?

Battery is great and portability is also a plus. Good design, sturdy and compact which aids in literally every form of shenanigans one wants to get into 👍🏻

With the default EQ setting, these were absolutely horrible sounding. By cutting some mids, I was able to get a decent sound (posted a picture of my settings) but still a bit boxy. The problem is, in stereo mode, only the master speaker changes with the EQ. This led to a lot of fiddling with connecting and disconnecting the individual speakers to try to get each one EQ’d the same as the other

It seems to be a wiring issue, which I think I'm probably competent enough to tackle when I finally get sick of it. Rather disappointing. I was expecting better quality from JBL, even in 2020.

This new 30 watt Soundcore+ is plenty loud even when climbing up a 6% grade with 40,000 pounds cargo and the huge engine is screaming and the giant fan is blasting like a turboprop at takeoff. I mistakenly bought an Oontz unit with 24 watts and it does not connect easily nor provide adequate clarity or volume, the Anker Soundcore connects effortlessly. Easy automatic reconnect even after my audio book is interrupted by a phone call. I've left the speaker on all night while I sleep and there's plenty of juice left for NPR news with coffee at 4 AM without plugging in the USB

Used the latest Depths of Hatred album (metal band) to test at ~3/4 max volume. 1) The Flip 5 is superior in sound w/o a doubt. It's clearer at louder volumes, whereas the 4 seemed a bit noisy, i.e
