Verdict

The Anker Soundcore Motion Plus is a 30W portable Bluetooth 5.0 speaker featuring a 4-driver setup with two ultra-high frequency tweeters, two neodymium woofers, and a central passive radiator angled upward at 15 degrees for enhanced sound dispersion. It boasts Hi-Res Audio certification with Qualcomm aptX support, an ultra-wide frequency range of 50Hz to 40kHz, an IPX7 fully waterproof rating, and a 6,700mAh battery providing up to 12 hours of playtime alongside a fully customizable 9-band graphic EQ through the Soundcore app. Main pros include its impressive volume capacity, deep real-time bass enhancement via BassUp technology, clear mid-range vocal reproduction, and robust, premium build quality with a protective metal grille. However, notable cons include its struggle to reproduce extreme sub-bass frequencies below 50Hz, visible compression artifacts at maximum volume, lack of dust-resistance (no IP67 rating), a somewhat unidirectional soundstage, and a rubberized outer shell that easily attracts oily fingerprints.

Summary of the review

Dossier: Seven Bluetooth speakers under 100 euros compared

The FWD audio dossier compares seven sub-€100 Bluetooth speakers, identifying the Fresh 'n Rebel Bold L2 and Marshall Willen as co-winners due to their strong audio performance and, in the case of the Willen, stylish, compact design. While all tested models deliver solid performance, including the portable JBL Clip 5 and Teufel Boomster Go, the review notes a significant,, inconsistent gap in audio quality among larger, budget-friendly options.
