A summer day in the park or at the lake without music? Unimaginable for the author of these lines. Bluetooth speakers are incredibly practical companions that allow us to take our favorite music with us wherever we go. But not every Bluetooth box has enough power to create a party atmosphere.
This is where the Soundcore Motion Boom Plus comes into play – and it’s got it all: you’re currently getting it for an unbeatable powerful 30 W stereo sound for EUR 69.99, a battery life of 24 hours and IPX7 water protection certification. You are currently saving 36 percent on the suggested retail price.
For this price it is almost impossible to find anything comparable. Competitive models are considerably more expensive.
Anker Motion Boom: powerful sound and powerful endurance
For about 70 euros you get quite a lot of speakers for little money with the Motion Boom. The titanium audio drivers deliver a clear, powerful sound up to 40kHz, which you wouldn’t expect from a speaker under 100 euros. Another highlight is the battery: He can last up to 24 hours before becoming breathless. In practice, however, this peak value is only reached at a reduced volume. But the battery performance is also impressive. You can even use the Motion Boom as a power bank and charge your smartphone with it.
Due to its water protection, the Motion Boom is also particularly suitable as an outdoor speaker. It is certified to the IPX7 standard and should withstand 30 minutes underwater (at a depth of one metre). It will even float to the surface on its own if it falls into the water.
If the strength of the anchor box is not enough for you, you can simply link 2 and have double the boom. And two Motion Booms cost less than some of the competition’s individual boxes.
The best alternatives to the Anker Motion Boom
If you’re looking for more power and an even more refined sound then it’s worth taking a look at the next bigger Bluetooth box from the same company. The Anker Motion Boom Plus has a whopping 80W of power and the sound can be individually adjusted via EQ. The Motion Boom Plus is also even more robust than its little sister. Their IP67 certification not only means protection against water, but also protection against dust and other airborne particles.
Competition from top dog JBL is struggling to keep up with Anker’s strong pricing announcements. The JBL Flip 5* has a surprisingly good and clean sound for its smaller size. It is also certified with IPX7 and is therefore waterproof. So if you’re looking for an even more portable solution, the Flip 5 is definitely worth a look. However, the battery only lasts 12 hours and is more expensive than the Motion Boom at just under 84 euros.
