Diving into common points that customers pointed out most frequently
According to the reviewers, the Anker Soundcore Motion Plus produces a quality sound that is deep and full. They found that it can get louder while still maintaining its quality sound. The speaker has customizable EQ settings, which when adjusted, brings out the best in the speaker. Even though it does not produce chest-thumping bass like home theater systems or car stereos, it still delivers all the bass without losing any of its high frequencies as volume increases. The speaker's overall sound quality was highly praised by reviewers across different music genres.
The reviewers highly recommend playing with the EQ settings in the Soundcore app to get the best sound out of the speaker. They found that Bass Up mode was not great and preferred using custom or canned EQ settings. Once a preferred setting was chosen, the speaker retained those settings even when paired with a different device. Reviewers also experimented with using external EQ settings on their phones and found it improved the sound even further.
According to the product reviews, the Anker Soundcore Motion Plus has a "very solid build" and is "heavy". The rubberized outside feels good and of quality, with two rubber feet on the bottom to keep it in place.
Reviewers generally agree that the Anker Soundcore Motion Plus is loud and produces a clear, full sound. They appreciate its ability to get louder while still maintaining a quality sound. The speaker has been tested with various genres of music, including heavy metal and rap, and was found to be powerful and full in all cases. However, reviewers note that while the speaker can play low frequencies well, it will not produce chest-thumping bass as it is a portable Bluetooth speaker. Overall, reviewers recommend this product for those looking for high-end sound in a portable Bluetooth speaker under $100.
According to the product reviewers, the Anker Soundcore Motion Plus is not capable of producing chest-thumping bass. While the speaker can play low frequencies, it cannot resonate sound waves enough to make users feel the bass in their chest. However, reviewers note that this is a portable Bluetooth speaker and not a home theater or car stereo system. They suggest that those who want to feel powerful bass should opt for larger speakers but may lose portability in doing so.
