Neither Anker Soundcore Motion Plus nor Sonos One Gen 2 were recommended by experts this month

On 4 Mar 2024 (25 days ago) we went through 113 Bluetooth Speaker expert endorsements , however neither Anker Soundcore Motion Plus nor Sonos One Gen 2 were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Bluetooth Speaker received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at JBL Charge 5 or other critically acclaimed Portable Bluetooth Speakers of this month.

For reference, JBL Charge 5 received 6 endorsements this month, from Digital Trends (26 Feb 2024), WIRED (18 Feb 2024) Tom's Guide (22 Feb 2024) and 3 others.
