Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Anker Soundcore Motion Plus

  • Excellent value for money
  • Impressive maximum volume and power for its size
  • Highly customizable sound profile using the companion graphic EQ app
  • Crisp audio clarity and great mid-range instrument/vocal separation
  • Robust IPX7 waterproof rating
  • Qualcomm aptX support for high-resolution audio streaming
  • Solid battery life lasting up to 12 hours

What customers don't like about Anker Soundcore Motion Plus

  • Lacks deep low-end sub-bass thump right out of the box
  • Sound can feel flat or plain before tuning it with the app
  • The rubberized/silicone casing easily attracts dust and fingerprints
  • Noticeably heavy and bulky compared to other mini pocket-sized speakers
  • Does not feature a carrying handle or strap for easy mobility
  • Minor constant background hissing sound reported by some users during silent intervals
  • Incompatibility for stereo pairing between hardware versions manufactured before and after November 2022

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.
