soundcore Motion x600 Bluetooth Speaker with Wireless Hi-Res Spatial Audio, 50W Sound, IPX7 Waterproof, Pro EQ, Built-In Handle, AUX-In, Portable Speaker for Home, Office, Outdoors

This is probably the best Bluetooth speaker I own, and I've bought a lot of them over the past couple of years. The music separation is absolutely amazing, you can hear every instrument with such clarity. This is achieved with soundcores Sky Driver, a full range speaker on the top of the device which projects the music up wards, as well as the two woofers and two tweeters in the front of the speaker, which deliver what Soundcore calls Spatial Sound. The trebles and mids are just mind blowing, and the decent bass is very present without drowning out everything else, it delivers 50 watts of sound which is plenty loud enough for a medium to large room. The build quality is great too, an all metal chassy with rubberised controls, and powered by usb c, you need your own charging brick, and buying a 3 metre cord is worth the extra cash. It's water resistant too, so it will withstand the rain or a severe soaking if by the pool with no problems, once it's charged up, it becomes portable and takes about 3 hrs to fully charge from 0% with a 65watt fast charging USB C brick. The battery lasts about 8 hrs with spatial surround and the bass up button in use. You'll be surprised at the sound such a small speaker makes, and with such clarity, you'll hear your music like never before. I got it on an Amazon deal, of £120 for the green model, and I'm glad I did, it sounds like I paid 4 times the amount. I've got it paired with my TV via Bluetooth, and with no lag, movies sound amazing, the only downside is I wish I'd bought 2 at the price I paid, because you can pair 2 together to make a perfect stereo pair with a left and right channel. Like I said at the start, this is probably the best Bluetooth speaker I own, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

I purchased the Motion X600 last November for the full price and was blown away by how good it sounded. 4 months later, I purchased a Motion 300 and was again blown away by how good this little speaker sounded. I was so impressed I went to purchase another Motion 300 but in green as I liked the colour and i was prepared to pay the full price of £90, but there was the Motion X500 on sale for £90 so I got this instead, ofcourse a no brainer! Especially at that price. I originally wrote a long review on the Motion x600 and these two other speakers, but... I kept changing my mind as to which was the best speaker rated from 1st to 3rd. I ended up deleting the review because I could not make my mind up. 🙃. This review was the top rated review for the x600. All 3 speakers sound fantastic! And have their own unique sound scape due to the different driver set ups. The build quality is top class, I've watched YouTube tear downs of all 3 speakers, and the build, quality, and components used are high quality, and the speakers are well made. It's surprising how soundcore can sell these at these prices? All 3 speakers are worth their full asking price, in my opinion, and are just as good as or even better than the big speaker brands out there, and for half the price. The sound quality is fantastic! The clarity is exceptional, Crystal clear vocals, highs, and mids with deep lows. The spacial, high-resolution sound is an experience when listening. The speakers sound open and much larger than their actual size and will fill a room with high-quality sound, and this is soundcores' first attempt at spacial audio! Well done! I haven't even tried the LDAC option because the sound quality already sounds high definition. Honestly, I can't listen to any of my previous speakers after listening to these soundcore speakers. I have tried... Trust me, I have a couple of large Sony bluetooth speakers, an Echo Studio, and a few others. They now sound like they have no clarity and sound muddy compared to the Soundcore speakers. I used to casually enjoy listening to my echo 4th gen speaker, but not anymore. It sounds awful compared to these soundcore series. Soundcore has done an amazing job with these speakers. The algorithms and magic they've used to create the spacial listening experience is an experience in itself. I wouldn't call it 3D where you can hear music all around you like some have stated? It's an immersive open sound rather than a directional sound like a normal Bluetooth speaker. For example, if I was blindfolded and played any of my previous Bluetooth speakers, I could point out exactly where the sound was coming from because the sound is directional. With the soundcore speakers, it would be harder to point exactly where the sound was coming from because the sound is much wider and more open and not directional if that makes sense. I now own a Motion x600, x2 Motion x500s, and a motion 300. I just love these speakers and have to give them the credit they deserve. I was lucky with the x500 as I purchased them when they were on sale for £90 & £80. The x600 is the better speaker. A wide open sound and the best spacial sound scape due to having 5 different drivers. Clearer instrument separation and more detailed. The X500 is more 'V' shaped sounding with a narrower sound scape compared to the x600 but has a higher sound scape and better vocals, in my opinion. I use the x500 most of the time. This is my go-to speaker. The Motion 300 is an amazing speaker for its size. It almost sounds as good as the others, less the power. Although it has no spacial speaker on top, it still sounds open and spacial, much larger than its actual size. Don't be fooled by its small size! The 9 band graphic equaliser in the app is great. I originally used the built-in soundcore signature equaliser but eventually created my own for a more personal listening experience. Whatever speaker you choose, you won't be disappointed. They are all 10/10 in my personal opinion and worth every penny, even at their full price. I would have liked to have seen the option of a power supply lead and also a removable battery compartment to replace the battery in the future. When the battery finally drains, will I still be able to power the speakers via the USBC lead? Just a thought. *Update* Dec 2024 I finally purchased my 2nd Motion 300 for £60 on black Friday, in green. At such a low price, the temptation was too great! I paired this to my other Motion 300 via 'TWS' True Wireless Stereo and 'Wow!' As usual with these speakers, i was blown away by the sound quality. These speakers sound fantastic on their own but pair two of the same speakers together and 'Wow!' You're on another level. 2 Motion 300s in the standing position sounded better than a single X500 or X600, in my opinion. I even paired my two X500s for the first time but preferred the sound of the two Motion 300s. Pairing the speakers is a breeze. Turn on your 1st speaker and connect to your phone as normal, then turn on your 2nd speaker. Push and hold down the Bluetooth button on your 2nd speaker for 2-3 seconds until it flashes white. Then, on your 1st speaker do the same, hold down the Bluetooth button for 2-3 seconds, and the speakers instantly connect! You will hear this.The speaker with the 'Blue' Bluetooth light is the 'Left Channel', and the speaker with the 'White' Bluetooth light is the 'Right Channel'. It's that simple. Anytime in the future, when you have 1 speaker playing and turn on the 2nd speaker, they automatically connect. If you want to unpair both speakers, just hold down the Bluetooth button on either one of the speakers for 2-3 seconds, and they disconnect from each other. If you can afford to purchase two of the same speakers, i would highly recommend especially two motion 300s 👌 but, anyone of these speakers sounds great on its own. The Bluetooth connection on these speakers, whether pairing together or a device, is flawless.

We have been using this speaker for 8 months now and are still very pleased with it. Sound quality is perfect and plenty powerful enough. The battery life is great. Connects easily and reliably, 11/10 would buy again.

Reason for purchase - I bought this because I was looking for a Bluetooth speaker I can move from room to room & the garden. It’s probably not more portable than that for most people due to it being very slightly too heavy perhaps, but most pertinently because it is so beautiful & you wouldn’t want to scratch it. No dust resistance a factor too. I have a silicone case coming for added protection. Design/ looks - absolutely beautiful. I bought the blue, but have heard the green really pops if that’s your thing. It reminds me very much of Bang & Olufsen in terms of looks & sound. Aluminium, feels great, buttons really satisfying to press. Sound - it sounds great, plenty loud enough to fill any room. For optimum.performance I/ we will need to use the app equaliser settings & probably have 2 different settings depending on the type of music. I find the preset treble boost with bass on as the best preset option, much better than the signature. For example, Eva Cassidy’s Fields of Gold & Enigma’s Sadeness album are simply incredible on treble boost. You will hear things you’ve not heard before… & I have the unparalleled Sony XM4 headphones… but then on some of my dance music such as Stonebridge’s Put Em High, Paul van Dyk’s For An Angel etc the bass is too heavy. Just taking the bass boost off makes it more than good enough, but can’t help feel it’s just lacking something then… a smarter person than me would have already found the perfect setting in between, but part of the fun will be tweaking the settings to find the right one 😉😂. Listening now as I write & just taking the bass boost off really is good in itself. I wouldn’t pay £200, but got it for £120 & happy with that. There are probably better sounding options out there if you are an absolute audiophile & there are absolutely more rugged options. But if you want something that sounds great & I have to say looks even better, this is a fabulous option.

This speaker has a lot of amazing reviews and although I wasn't that sure of the transistor radio retro look at first I decided to give it a go.. I have an Anker soundcore boost which I like a lot, but when it started to vibrate at high volumes, I wanted something with more oomph! Out of the box this feels a quality item.. Beautifully made and finished with premium quality aluminium and tactile synthetics.. I was wondering if it might look a bit large, but it hides its dimensions well, and the ohh so gorgeous back lit buttons are ergonomically perfect and easy to use. The angled top adds to the ease of operation. It is nicely heavy but stable and secure on jell composite vibration killing feet. But that handle.. ? Turned it on and set to LDAC sound quality and upgraded the software... Don't panic this was very easy.. superb and simple app and set up procedure.. and.. OMG.. totally underwhelmed... Played Toy Soldiers by Martika and Pour Some Sugar on me by Def Leopard which on the default sound settings sounded tinny and really not true to the CD playback on a quality stereo.. The spatial feature and bass up was good, but there was not the richness and delight I was expecting... So turning to the custom EQ. Which I call the Graphic Equaliser, I brutally reduced the mid range centre slider and organised the EQ into a bird wing format with dynamic bass and trebble highs cancelling out the tinny midrange.. This made all the difference.. In my humble opinion anyway! This you can set as a prefered preset alongside a few other tries at your preferred listening settings. And you can easily tinker if you want.. and change between saved and default settings instantly.. Now I am really impressed.. Great sound.. Much better than Anker Boost and easily as good as A1 B&O and Bose Soundflex and very good, but not incredible, volume on max.. Fields of Gold, Sharp Dressed Man, Jump, even Centipede by Knife Party all perfect. Punchy but smoothe. Detail and clarity excellent and bass MORE than up to the job! .. If only the handle, which I am growing to like.. a bit.. for grabbing to move all over the house as the bluetooth connection is superb... could be removable... Please !!!

As you can probably tell from the majority of the other reviews, this speaker is exceptional value for money with insane levels of clarity for the price and seriously impressive soundstage... BUT, and it's a big but, you need, NEED two! In a stereo pair, one to each side of you, you are instantly transported to being IN the music, suddenly you can place the location of sounds around you, as good as you can with good open headphones... One is a decent speaker, two in a pair is probably the best value speakers I've ever owned. They work for music, movies, everything I need. Be prepared to play with the equaliser a bit to suit your tastes, but luckily the app has that down! Only negatives: charge is slow and they don't last as long as a lot of modern speakers, which I find annoying, but by no means a deal breaker. If you want big bass, I mean, the bass is decent but these are not for absolutely thumping bass, if you want to vibrate your chest cavity probably look at something else - but if you want to experience clarity and soundstage, these are your speakers... As a pair. One = good, two = insane 👍🙏

Bought for my sister who liked the sound and colour. Her husband not so much.

First of all this is a genuine review, I was slightly skeptical when this speaker came out that a lot of reviews online were paid for promotions and a lot of YouTube video reviews are testament to this. Anyway with that out the way, when I received and opened the box I was amazed at the quality of the speaker itself, great first impression. Upon listening I was blown away by the sound such a relatively small speaker can produce, it makes you realise that there’s no way they could have crammed anymore technology and hardware into the unit. I’ve tweeked the EQ to suit my personal taste through the app and for me it now doesn’t need tampering with. I bought this unit to primarily use with a vinyl player as I found the last bookshelf speakers I bought and sent back to be too bassy for the smaller area of the house I have the system in, this speaker was the better option as I can move it about to face me when sat in my chair and can dial in or out the bass as required as not to annoy the family, so it’s very versatile in that respect. Bear in mind you can only utilise the app with its EQ,volume control etc when paired directly to a device with the app installed on it eg mobile to speaker through Bluetooth, you cannot access the app when you have a vinyl player with built in Bluetooth to the speaker as the vinyl player won’t have the app installed into its interface. As you can tell with the lengthy review it’s worth your investment, it’s not the cheapest but you feel you are getting a quality well thought out device for your money.

Comincio subito col parlare del suo peggior difetto: l'ascolto con i controlli "extra bass" e "audio spaziale" disattivati, comporta un suono riprodotto del tutto deludente, in quanto spento, noioso, insignificante. Ciò, al contrario della maggior parte degli apparecchi concorrenti, che sono già in grado di riprodurre da subito, una qualità audio al 90 per cento delle loro capacità senza dover agire su specifiche regolazioni. Quindi, prima cosa da fare: attivare entrambi i due controlli, anche se a mio giudizio, l'"audio spaziale" si può lasciare disattivo, con risultati obbiettivamente migliori. Successivamente, occorre perdere parecchio tempo con l'equalizzatore, questo sì ben progettato, che permette di agire su ben nove frequenze. Alla fine, quello che si ottiene è una qualità audio notevole, se si considera anche il prezzo a cui viene spesso proposto, ben al di sotto dei 200 Euro di listino. Adesso passo ad elencare gli ulteriori pregi e difetti. Pregi: - costruzione estremamente robusta, struttura quasi interamente metallica, con materiali di pregio ed ottime rifiniture. Per dare un'idea della sua robustezza basti sapere che mi è caduto sul pavimento, da un altezza di 80 cm e l'ho raccolto pensando che si fosse rotta la maniglia o ammaccato da qualche parte e invece niente! Neppure un graffio. - App veramente ben fatta, con utilissimo equalizzatore. Diverse regolazioni predefinite di fabbrica e possibilità di poterne creare nuove. - Presenza del Codec bluetooth LDAC, che consente la trasmissione di contenuti audio ad alta risoluzione (Hi-Res). - Volume di riproduzione notevole, anche se i 50 Watt di targa mi sembrano abbastanza ottimistici. - Ben 5 altoparlanti, di cui quattro in configurazione stereo, due per i medio bassi e due per gli acuti e uno specifico per l'effetto 3D , cosa non comune tra i concorrenti, anche se la loro reciproca vicinanza non permette un effetto stereo apprezzabile, ma ne guadagna sicuramente l'ampiezza della scena sonora. - Suoni bassi abbastanza sostenuti e alte ben estese. Per cui l'ascolto è abbastanza appagante (sempre dopo aver effettuato le indispensabili regolazioni). - La maniglia ne permette una facile trasportabilità, nonostante il peso. - Presenza di un ingresso aux. - Possibilità di usare un qualsiasi caricabatterie USB-C per la sua ricarica. _ Autonomia della ricarica, intorno alle 10 ore. Dipende anche dal volume di ascolto e dal Codec utilizzato, nel senso che l'LDAC abbrevia le ore. - Impermeabilità IPX7, quindi lo si può tranquillamente esporre (eventualmente) anche alla pioggia. Difetti: - non un vero e proprio difetto, ma l'audio spaziale a mio giudizio è poco "spaziale". Per averne una sufficiente percezione, bisogna ascoltare a non più di un metro di distanza e soprattutto, peggiora la qualità delle frequenze medio alte, accentuando le sibilanti sulle voci, soprattutto le femminili. Io lo lascio sempre disattivato. - Altro difetto: l'ho già detto prima, dover intervenire sull'equalizzatore o sulle preimpostazioni, per avere una riproduzione soddisfacente. E qui mi fermo, perché non riesco ad individuare altri difetti. In definitiva penso che questo apparecchio abbia ben pochi concorrenti, soprattutto considerandone il rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Maybe it's just me but I think there is too much hype over this x600. Oh it sounds amazing for it's size and the app is one of the best I've worked with. Build quality is superb. With spatial audio off it's just another boombox and an overpriced one at that. I've heard better for less Tribit makes excellent products. Spatial makes it beats all others. Not a gimmick...it actually creates a room filling hifi sound. Play hi res audio thru it and it's mind blowing. This can get real loud and I mean loud. Better than the Bose i've owned in all regards. The app allows custom audio settings so even the most fussiest people will find the sound they like. Instant bluetooth connect. Seriously this is a game changer in small BT speakers. The bass boost can be a little too much on certain music so I found myself keeping it off in the house in smaller rooms. Outside probably fine. The retail packaging alone is premium. You'd think it was a $1000 the way they packed it. Anker is good in that way. Make sure you charge to 100% before using it when it arrives. It took 3hrs for mine so it must come with a 50% charge. That is the one negative. Slow charge only. 5v 3amps is a joke. Fast charge is the new norm. I doubt 12hrs runtime is accurate unless you just leave it on with nothing connected to it. After a few hrs I decided to charge it and it took around 2hrs and I wasn't driving it hard. Of course there is no way of knowing the exact % of battery drain which is another negative. Even the app doesn't offer that info. Would have been nice to have a 100% to 0% gauge. Maybe next model will offer more features and better battery life. Slow charging is still ok planning use around that. I bought a padded case for it off of amazon. Got a refund and kept it because it was nothing like the ad stated. It's ok for storing it in to avoid dust etc but as far as other protection it offered minimal. Thin and cheap. So be careful which one you order. $29 is a joke dollarstore quality so was going to return it but told keep it and refunded. It's worth free. LOL Maybe there will be far better hardshell ones available or buy a case with removable foam inserts to custom fit it. Its worth protecting. 2 of these paired together would be amazing if you want mind blowing stereo. I might even invest in another if they go on sale again. It comes down do I recommend it. Oh yeah...no questions...it's that good. Don't expect too much from it and its great. They can only get so much from such a small speaker but it is stunning what Anker has done.

I wasn't planning to replace my main room speaker. I just wanted something I could move around the house without sacrificing sound. What I ended up with is a speaker that made the permanent setup redundant. The spatial audio is the thing that catches people off guard when they hear it for the first time. Five drivers and five amplifiers positioned to push sound in every direction rather than straight at you. It doesn't sound like a speaker sitting on a shelf, it sounds like the room is the speaker. Standing in the middle of the living room with this going feels closer to a listening room setup than anything I expected from something portable and battery powered. Guests notice it before they notice anything else. 50W is real output for a speaker this size. It fills my living room without straining and handles a party without anyone asking to turn it up. The volume ceiling is high enough that I've never actually needed to find it, which is the right way to feel about a speaker you're using as a main room setup. It stays clean at high volumes too, no distortion creep where the bass gets loose or the highs get harsh. Portability was supposed to be the secondary benefit and ended up being more useful than I expected. I move it to the kitchen, the backyard, the patio, without thinking twice about it. The IPX7 waterproofing means outdoor use isn't a conversation I have to have with myself every time. It can handle rain, poolside proximity, the kind of casual outdoor situations where you'd otherwise be babying a speaker. 12 hours of battery is enough for a full gathering plus whatever spills into the next morning. I haven't once run out of battery at an inconvenient time, which is the actual measure of whether a battery claim means anything in real use. One thing worth doing out of the box: update the firmware through the Soundcore app before your first serious listen. The sound quality improvement after the update is noticeable enough that skipping it would mean forming your first impression on a version of the speaker that isn't what it's supposed to be. For anyone weighing this against a traditional home speaker setup at the same price — this is the better buy. You get the room-filling sound and you get to take it with you. That combination at this price point doesn't have much competition.

Super.

L'enceinte Bluetooth portable la plus impressionnante que j'ai possedee. 50W, audio spatial avec haut-parleur oriente vers le haut, IPX7, 12h d'autonomie. Le son est large, puissant, et l'audio spatial ajoute une vraie dimension. Un investissement justifie. (5/5) Contexte : Travaillant souvent depuis la maison a Paris. J'ecoute de la musique 6-8 heures par jour -- jazz, musique classique, rock progressif, bandes originales de films. J'avais une JBL Charge 4 avant et je voulais monter en gamme sans passer au systeme multi-enceintes. Points forts : - Le systeme a 5 drivers dont un oriente vers le haut cree un son reellement immersif -- on entend une scene sonore, pas juste une source ponctuelle - L'audio spatial fonctionne particulierement bien sur la musique orchestrale, le jazz live et les BO de films -- exactement mes genres - 50W de puissance dans un format portable : ca remplit facilement un salon de 30 m2 sans distorsion - IPX7 certifie -- je l'utilise sans stress dans la salle de bain et sur le balcon sous la pluie - 12 heures d'autonomie a volume modere -- tient facilement une journee de travail - Bluetooth 5.3 : connexion stable, pas de decrochages - L'application Soundcore permet d'ajuster l'EQ et de personnaliser le profil sonore - Le design est sobre et premium -- la grille metallique et la poignee integree font qualite Points faibles : - L'audio spatial est plus subtil que ce qu'on pourrait esperer -- c'est une amelioration nette par rapport a une enceinte mono classique, mais ca ne remplace pas un vrai systeme surround - A 240 EUR, c'est un investissement serieux -- il faut vraiment profiter de l'audio spatial pour justifier le surcout par rapport a une Charge 5 - Le chargeur USB-C n'est pas inclus dans la boite (juste le cable) Verdic : Apres 3 semaines d'utilisation quotidienne intensive, c'est mon meilleur achat audio de l'annee. L'audio spatial avec le driver oriente vers le haut est une vraie innovation, pas un gadget marketing. Pour qui ecoute de la musique riche et complexe (jazz, classique, BO), la difference avec une enceinte Bluetooth standard est flagrante. Recommande sans reserve.
