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

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.

This speaker is brilliant! I spent a LONG time trying to find a quality speaker with Bluetooth and Aux options so it could be used with my phone, tv and record player and this speaker is perfect for all of those. The sound output is incredible - very clear and rich. The bass is crazy! You’re also about to adjust the EQ in the Soundcore app. I like that you can swap between 360° output or front speaker only (never come across this before so it’s a fun option to have). The speaker itself is quite heavy/large but I think that’s to be expected with it being high quality/price. Colour and design are really nice and the battery life is amazing. Very easy to set up via the app or manually. The full price is a bit high but I managed to get it in the sale. Hopefully this will be the last speaker I buy for a long time!

I am in no way connected with the manufacturer and paid full price for this speaker. I'm not loyal to any particular brand, and own speakers by Bose, Sonos, B&O and many other manufacturers. The price of this speaker is in the middle of the range, as compared to my other speakers, but is by a significant margin, my favourite. Did my head explode when I hit the 'spatial audio' button? no. Does the sound seem to come from all around you? no. Does the speaker sound great and have a wide soundstage? yes! The speaker feels like it has been tuned to my precise preferences: vocals jump out of the speaker and 'fizz'...not in a bad way, there's no sibilance or distortion, just lovely crisp highs and a very deep bass for the size of the speaker. The amount of bass that you'll experience depends on the song and location - outdoors, bass frequencies get lost, but in a bathroom or toilet scenario, you'll notice a lot more bass. This is a speaker that really can make certain songs sound epic, and if the speaker is positioned correctly, so that there are surfaces for the sound to bounce off on the left and right of the speaker, it can sound like the audio is coming from 'outside' of the speaker, giving the impression of 3 speakers - one in the middle and one on the left and right. I can't say I've yet experienced any kind of surround sound effect, however. I have around 30 portable speakers, some of which cost similar money, plus numerous mains powered speakers, and I have to say, the listening experience is so good with this speaker, that I shall always feel a bit underwhelmed by my other speakers - they just don't create such an exciting and detailed sound as this one can. Top marks Soundcore, and for a fair price too! I hope this was helpful!

My Roberts internet radio died, so I decided to stream radio from my phone to a Bluetooth speaker as an alternative. The Roberts was a solid performer and I knew the Soundcore had big boots to fill. It managed to do that, with no issues. I am happy with the sound and it sits on a shelf in my bedroom, permanently connected to power. I can even turn off the lights on the app, so it doesn't cast a glow across the room. Well made and a balanced sound. Wouldn't pay full price but well worth it when reduced.

I'll start by saying I'm no audiophile but I do like good sounding tech. I can't stand muddy or tinny cheap heaphones. I have had really good headphones over the years including some fairly expensive Shure in ears, Sennheiser HD25s & Sennheiser Momentum 2s & 3s. We also have a couple of Sonos Ones dotted around the house Going off on a slight tangent, I already have a Soundcore Motion Boom Plus and my daughter has the smaller Motion Boom which are just amazing but my daughter also has a pair of the Soundcore Q30 over ear headphones which to be completely honest are almost, about 95% as good as my Sennheiser Momentum 3s at probably 1/4 of the price. Anker products are always good. If ever I am looking for a cable or charger it's my go to make. Anker Soundcore products are no exception. Now on to this product. I've been keeping an eye on this speaker since it came out. The X600 is very well made, mostly made of metal it's nice and heavy. It looks a lot more sophisticated than the Boom and looks really good in my office. I won't be taking it out to the park, it's too nice, I'll take the Boom instead. It's quite a lot smaller than the Boom Plus (see picture) but oh my God does it sound good. The clarity, soundstage and separation are just brilliant. I know you can spend a lot more money on Bose and Sonos but in my opinion this is just as good as some speakers at 3 times the price. The bass isn't quite as deep as my Motion Boom Plus but it is still good and punchy. Just don't push it too hard as it does distort. When we have it playing in the kitchen placement helps by putting it on a nice solid surface with a wall directly behind improves bass as I think the bass port is at the back. Overall I'm an highly impressed with the X600, it is just fantastic. Although I think the Boom Plus is actually a slightly better sound. Look 10/10 Build 10/10 Sound 8/10 It's amazing at normal listening levels but don't expect it to be very loud for a party. It distorts at higher levels so for me it loses a star for that reason.

+Bought this about 2 years ago, still works excellently and has great sound well worth the price. Some say that it can compete with top brands like bose, and it is a lot cheaper. +Surround sound feature is cool, works extremely well outside in big spaces (the speaker is very loud so never have tp go above 10-30% at home). +Battery last quite a while -Only one "downside" bit big to be considered a portable speaker

This speaker is a beast. I've had a couple of the smaller speakers which I've been satisfied with but the overall volume was low so I thought I'd try this speaker. The speaker itself is weighty and having bought the black version it looks very classy and well made. There's a lot of attention to detail that's gone into this speaker both inside and out. Setup was very easy given I already have the soundcore app installed and I was soon playing music. Using the app it's also very easy to add custom EQs to personalised the sound to your taste. Within 20 minutes I had everything set up including all the EQ settings. This thing packs some power and the sound is enough to fill the garden with music even whilst entertaining and it sounds like it should be much bigger than it actually is. Battery lasts a good amount of time. I never have the speaker above say 50% though as it's just not needed. It also seems to charge up pretty quickly given the amount of time the speaker lasts. Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase.

Bought for £139 on a recent prime days deal. I'd read some very positive reviews on this speaker so decided to give it a go, and... wow! With Spatial & Bass modes on, it's clear, immersive, with powerful bass, but very configurable using the app too, with different EQ presets, as well as a custom presets with full band adjustment possible to suit room position, music, listening tastes. I recommend trying the speaker in different room locations / heights for optimal sound. The speaker seems to benefit from having a vertical surface behind the unit's rear passive bass radiator. In the kitchen I found that a 90 degree angle alcove, above work surface was perfect. The sound/ bass, is less prominent if the speaker is placed right in the middle of a room, for instance. Room filling - absolutely, and audio output doesn't seem to suffer at all when getting significantly loud. The unit is reassuringly weighty without being too heavy; the handle very well designed & a great design feature making it super easy to lift & move the speaker about. Bluetooth range is fine over the whole house. I set LDAC bluetooth codec up in the app, which requires a brief firmware update. I have streamed some movie content from both Windows laptop & android device and it seems very good. Just recently I've been listening to some Hans Zimmer soundtracks, which sound incredible on the X600. With EQ set, & speaker well positioned, the bass on e.g. Leftfield's Leftism is impressive. For it's size this speaker is pretty much mind-blowing, and if one searches for 'global ranking' tests it seems to out perform some very much more expensive & larger speakers. Early days yet, but so far it's great!
