Love the sound tests!! And thank you for counting down to volume increase 👍🏽
I thought it might be helpful, don’t want anyone having a heart attack 😂
I recently bought the X600 for £150 and its an absolute beast. I absolutely love the sound on this thing.
That second tweeter on the x600 really makes the big difference in sound.
You mean up firing speaker? it's fullrange driver not a tweeter
Thank you for avoiding the hype and making a reasonable review!
You are most welcome! I hope you found it helpful!
This is the review I been looking for glad I found u
This comment just made my day! I’m glad you found it helpful ☺️
Good job buddy keep up the great work. It's great to be able to see you guys compare stuff so that we can make our own decisions. Ray
The x600 has an passivradiator on the backside too and 6400 mAh battery. The jbl 7500 mAh.
I was thinking of using the X600 as a makeshift sound bar on my HD 3D TV, I got Blue-Tooth on my Sony 3D Blue-Ray Player. I now listen to movies through Sennheiser M2 Blue Tooth headphones and some other Blue Tooth headphones I got but thought this might be a good alternative to using headphones all the time.
Great review! Just ordered my x600 :)
JBL has mono sound with 2 drivers...soundcore has stereo + 3 way spacial audio with 5 drivers plus ldac..this isn't close 😂
Right? I was shocked how many speakers have gone to mono. You lose SO much detail with mono and I can’t do it! The X600 will be my next speaker purchase.
@@idontwanna1316 ikr I acc hate mono..it's literally 1D sound 😂😆
The soundcore is 2 way not 3 way
hmm he already mention he using iphone , which is sbc codec , at least borrow a latest android phone to test it out with a flac file
@@sdqsdq6274true that
Hey Marc! Thanks for your awesome review.. I recently bought this speaker and i connected it to my TV. But I am not able to connect to the phone at the same time. I wanted to adjust the settings on the app but its not letting me connect to both the devices at the same time.. any work around ?
If your using any Mono Speaker then your setting from any stereo device should be also adjusted to play back in mono which can make such a difference. After all you don’t want to hear just one projected side of the signal. I was amazed when I tried this using my single MINIRIG and JBL Charge 5 👍
Excellent comparison, Marc!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed!
One of the best reviewers I've seen 👍. Great job. I have a Charge 3 recently upgraded to a Charge 5. Honestly not that impressed. Charge 5 is obviously not in X600 weight class. But this Soundcore is on my list now, thanks
Great job? The most important thing was the shortest.
@@yamahass66 Yeah but x600 DESTROYED JBL in the first round! Charge 5 is fighting out of its weight class. Why continue the fight. The refee called the fight, JBL team though in the towel, why keep getting plummeted 😁
@bbiggerchris20.....same as me, I own Charge 3 for about 3 years, upgrade it to Charge 5 is a waste of money. Although it is good speaker, but not the same level as the Soundcore Motion X600. I ordered X600 and still waiting it to arrive soon.
Great review with the most important aspects! Totally agree with you, X600 is awesome for indoors and charge5 or similar to it speakers are great for outdoors
That x600 sounds AMAZING by comparison. But it's HUGE! If you looking for a boombox x600 all day. But portability throw in your luggage for vacation JBL
I like the 30 hour battery life on the tribit stormbox blast, better yet the 100 hour battery life of a minirig 3
Buy LG V30 and other higher V series or G series if you can get your hand on it as it's now selling on the cheap if you can find it. Many used and refurbished ones are still available. They have quad dac and play high resolution music. It gives awesome sound source for me even without the dac in action and I just use its equaliser to tune the speaker to the sound I like.
It's Soundcore Motion X-600 for me hands down. I already own Motion+ and Motion Boom. Awesome sound with my LG phone.
so.... PERFECTLY done, thanks for the review!
If there bringing a new 'updated charge 5' does this mean they are holding back the charge 6?🤔
I can’t choose. The soundcore sounds nicer but right now the JBL has an offer at £102 and the soundcore has one at £119. What do you guys think?
Just received my x600 and it’s a serious bit of kit. Got the early promo too with £50 off. An absolute no brainier of a purchase. I’d be happy if i’d paid double, it’s that good.
It is an amazing bang for buck! Especially with that early bird discount
Good video 👍 I agree with your opinion on both speakers. I got $50 off the x600 and it really sounds great 👍
Really concise, impressive review. Just a hint: lose the backwards firing ball cap. It makes you look like you're not as serious as you obviously are.
After hours and hours of researching acton 3 suddenly got hooked to this motion x600 few hrs ago and while your video is going i just went and orderd the soundcore. Ill wait for marshall to come up with a better tech to add to their wonderful loud sound. Until this will be my daily speaker.
Sad that you do not use/enjoy high resolution music
Great Analysis. I love the sound of the Soundcore Motion speaker, just wish it were smaller and more portable. Maybe the spatial audio technology has size limitations.
They have a smaller version look up the x500 and x300
@@WargodFilmsactually Soundcore motion X series come with two choices, the Motion X500 and X600. They both have spatial audio feature. While the smaller ones like Motion 100 and Motion 300 (withouth X) they do not have the spatial audio feature, but those two are more compact and easier for travelling usage.
But from the design and material, they all look and feel more elegence and premium.
I love how Soundcore give an extra up firing full range driver, which the idea to produce wider and broader soundstage. It's just a gimmcik, but really works and you can hear the different in term of sound stage.
I never understood the "listening music on nature" thing. It always sounds "polluting nature" to me. I really don't get it. When I go to to nature is to forget ALL the urban aspects - the stress, the rush, the polution, noises... and that includes the music. "Beach speakers" are one of the most nonsense things the human species ever created. It's almost as dumb as throwing plastic🚯 to the ground or stay at over crowded beaches for long amount of time. Crowded and polluted places should never go beyond urban and industrial areas. At the beach I like to hear the "silence" of the ocean waves. Nothing else. It's so relaxing!
Very apt comparison and to the point.
I have Jbl charge 5 and flip 6 both are good especially paired both together.
What type of EQ settingds are you using for it when watching movies?
X600 must be compared with JBL extreme 3, it cost about 210$ and is much better!
I have the x600 I think it's the best Bluetooth speaker period for alot or reason but I don't think it's in the same category as the Xtreme 3 that's 100 watts and the x600 is 50 watts but the x600 sounds sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good tho
The same I thougth. Xtreme 3 is cheaper in my country than x600 and xtreme 3 is alittle bit smaller than soundcore x600. So it´s a tie comparisson.
Really good review 👍
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Can we use motion x600 while charging?
Yes! I use it while charging all the time
What 20 hours of listening? Have you tested the same JBL Charge 5 speaker?7 hours at 65% volume. Everyone just admires JBL Charge 5 It fucked up with the battery. To play 20H, you can't exceed 35% volume.
😮
Technically, sound-quality wise, x600 is the clear winner and has more power, not even close.
Proud of you 🫶🏼
Thank you 🥹 you’re the reason this video could happen in the first place
Comparatively which is best for the sound quality
Brilliant info!!!
bro how could u say they are even comparable x600 is way out clear , sounds magnificent, x600 takes this one
Soundcore for me. Personally, I do not like JBL products for the simple fact their products seem to be faulty and receive a lot of complaints. I have used them before and after a while their products stop working over time. With SC, I previously owned headphones and speakers and they have worked beautifully. So this is a no-brainer for me. Soundcore for the win.
My digital audio player has ldac. The X600 speaker will be perfect. Please Soundcore, send some to Australia.
which has better bass
Charge all day...I think the x600 is more on par with the flip 6 when it comes to bass tbh.
X600 if you want more get the motion boom plus which is the same price as the charge 5
@@lopezdad30 the bass on the x600 is on par with the charge 5
@@pixelreflectorpro the motion boom plus is ridiculously huge compared to the Charge 5 and takes up a lot more room as well.
@@lopezdad30 and beats the xtreme 3 for $200 less
All my music are in flac files hi res. I own a fiio m11 which supports ldac and is hi res and so this X600 definitely one for me.
Yes Hi Res sources worth Hi Res and Hi Fi Speaker. Either Soundcore Motion X500 or X600 will suits you.
I think motion x600 has better bass and overall a better option
he not said about bass. This information is important !
Why do you compare a mono speaker with a stereo?
Mono doesn't play left to right sound
The change 5 mono sisten is a no, no. You should get the soundcore x600
Apple fan boys look for any excuse to make it seem like it's not a big difference. 😂
which one is better?
JBL all day
i never buy JBL products. they are hit or miss all the time. JBl ear buds of any model are as worse as cheap chinese knockoff. some of their soundbar models sound really good and some models sound really worse.
If a guy tells u he doesn't listen to the charge5 above 40% volume, u know there's something wrong with him😅🤣🤣🤣
Charge5 its loud😂😂😂 only if u put in ur ear...i got the PB310, had the Sony xp700, Boombox 2, played a little with the PB710, my soundbar Samsung HW M450.....those are somehow LOUDER.... the Partybox can annoy ur neighbors, but the Charge 5???? Come on😅😂😂
But hey, great content, well done!!🎉🎉💪
TKY 👌🏻
Jbl better small More Portable ans Bige Akku
Turn on autocorrect please
Jbl charge 5 killer?
Potentially depending on your use case!
naaa, charge is smaller. Better to name as "JBL xtreme 3 killer"
@@rudolof8540 This soundcore should be equal to big brother Xtreme 3, in term of pricing. But for sound stage and brightness, those duo charge and xtreme couldn;t match Motion X600. It's like Soundcore is another level way higher from them.
Although both Charge and Xtreme are good speakers. I own a Charge 3, but I ordered and couldn't wait for my Soundcore Motion X600 arrives.
@@rudolof8540xtreme 3 murders the x600 in everything except price and codec
X600💗
Here’s a pro tip:
If you want to hear what the X600 sounds like in person, play music off your phone’s speaker in the corner of the bathroom. You’ll get those tinny highs and dumpy bass.
Well done. [40KHz... bahahahaha... Thanks for reminding us that this useless.] Just bought x600. Comes in a week or two. Thank you very much.
So how about your experience after you hear it directly (The X600)? Are you will recomend it?
@@faisalcsat3301 Thanks for asking: Yes! I fully recommend it. It may not have ultimate fidelity (US$100k). But it is really good for $150. The speaker frame material is outstanding, as is the finish. The app simply works and has not failed me at all. Continued success!
@praballunavat5651
I agree. I tested about 10 speakers in the $80-$200 range, and regarding portability and sound quality, the X600 hits the nail on the head! It's my buy!

Aye! Congrats! Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed ☺️
Yes obviously as always 😊

Stupid comment 😎🤣
Well I get excellent bass out of the X600

For bass you need Soundcore motion boom
