Third-party reviews

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

What customers like about Motorola Sonic Sub 340 Bass Twin

  • Highly portable, lightweight, and compact design
  • Comes as a twin pack supporting true wireless stereo pairing
  • IPX5 water resistance rating protection against splashes
  • Stable wireless connection via Bluetooth 5.0
  • Built-in smart voice assistant compatibility (Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa)

What customers don't like about Motorola Sonic Sub 340 Bass Twin

  • Disappointing real-world battery life that falls far short of the advertised 11 hours
  • Noticeable sound distortion and poor audio quality when pushed to maximum volume
  • Weak bass response that leaves much to be desired despite the 'Bass Twin' branding
  • Cheap plastic build quality that feels fragile and lacklustre
  • Outdated Micro-USB charging port instead of modern USB Type-C

Verdict

The Motorola Sonic Sub 340 Bass Twin is a compact, portable Bluetooth 5.0 speaker package featuring a 7W RMS dynamic driver and a built-in subwoofer designed to deliver enhanced bass. Key pros include an IPX5 water-resistant rating, True Wireless Stereo pairing to link two units for immersive surround sound, integrated voice control compatibility with Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, and an impressive battery life of up to 11 hours of playback even at maximum volume. On the downside, the speakers lack an integrated radio, do not support using a smartphone as a dedicated remote control, and some users note potential audio distortion when pushed to maximum volume levels.
