    Anker Soundcore Motion Plus stereo pairing had been buggy for years. Have you tried it yourself @cnet?

    I recommend using smart Bluetooth devices. The head assistant is very convenient and increases the functionality of the device

    Bluetooth 5.1 out of date tho ; there’s 5.3 on some chips like mediatek now and LE (low energy)

    So the best IP rating would be 69? Nice.

    Thanks for mentioning the UE Hyperboom, I currently own 3 and couldn’t ask for anything else. Tho UE definitely needs to come up with a follow-up, maybe Hyperboom 2 or 3. Would be super dope!

    I just want buttons that I can find in the dark. I listen to music when I go to bed and can never find the damned volume buttons since they’re almost always flush with the device with markings you can’t usually distinguish with your finger tips.

    JBL was the best out of the bunch and it didn’t even get mentioned outside of being in the thumbnail, SMH.

    I’ve got the UE hyperboom and the JBL boombox 2.
    What else could be better?
    Absolutely nothing.

      Yeah but isn’t that not portable?

    The UE Hyperboom: “But it’s got a strap so you can lug it around like a massive toolbox.”

    So the person lugging it around is a massive toolbox. Cause a toolbox that size would be considered a very small toolbox.

    The SoundCore Motion Plus was pretty much my favorite Bluetooth speaker for 2 years running. Especially after rolling up my sleeves and spending some quality time with the custom EQ. With that said though I recently purchased The SoundCore Motion Boom, after receiving an avalanche of recommendations, and I have to say that the MB has pretty much relegated the Motion+ to being a dust collector. It’s all about the bass with the MB. I was taken aback with how deep it goes. The MB doesn’t have Motion+’s clarity but it’s pretty darn close. So, if you listen to a lot of Rap, EDM and RnB them the Motion Boom is definitely the Bluetooth speaker to get. But if you’re an audiophile on a budget that does a lot of critical listening then I’d go with the Motion Plus. Both are great budget Bluetooth speakers (when custom’d EQ’d) ☺️
