So I went to the store and tested the Bose Sound flex and Soundcore Motion 300 side by side. I was seriously impressed by the Soundcore. It gave neck to neck competition to Bose and in fact sounded better in many songs. I ended up buying this over the Bose, no regrets at all
Thanks. Brilliant review. I have one coming. I already have the Soundcore Boom +. I bloody LOVE IT! I am expecting that same rich ass sound in a smaller package. The durability like the sound is phenomenal as well. I will never go back to Bose nor JBL. I am usually not a brand loyal bloke. But, I will always trust Soundcore.
The fact you can customise your own eq with most soundcore stuff you can tune their speaker to sound how you want. My boom sounds very flat on signature mode. i left the lows as they were, took the highs up to +3 and +4 and mids 2 and 3. And i think it is perfect much better than any standard products. Looks likw they are making more effort on appearance. X series do look the part
I have to admit that I was initially skeptical about Soundcore products, but after trying out their affordable Bluetooth earbuds, I am pleasantly surprised!
It's made by Anker, so you know it's going to be a reliable good bang for your buck product. They just rebranded it and made it into a series/sub-brand. I got their Q45 headphones and they're great for the price, but I will say they feel heavier than say, Bose or Sony headphones, so I think there are compromises, but again for the price, the sound quality is great.
For those curious, I own the soundcore x600 and hands down it's the best bass I've used in terms of sound quality. Over the years I bought JBL, Marshall and Bose speakers and vouch for the x600. Just a bit big so I use it as a home speaker and not a portable. Also, Bose is my least favorite, the sound is muffled and the bass acts strange I've even sent it back to shop after testing for a month..
It is possible to order it from Europe? At Soundcore site is written: What countries do you ship to? US only. Thank you for your understanding. Thanks for reply.
Dude I got 2 pieces at 60$ per unit from AliExpress freeshipping to Europe and that's because I was in a hurry. Now they are around 50$ using all the coupouns from the Anker Official Store and the Ali express ones from thr current sale.

LDAC makes a huge difference in sound quality across the entire spectrum, for the price and build quality, only bose fan bois are picking the speed flex over the motion 300, the motion 300 wins on every level except for the google/alexa features
The LDAC on a speaker this price is crazy my B&0A1 gen 2 sounds good but not LDAC I feel even a old person can hear the difference to me the soundcore is a no brainer
@@smarthomesounds are you sure? Cause I can't see anything on the UK website!! That's a link to the US lol. Will the early bird offer from the US website work for us in the UK? Thanks!
When you make the versus you make it wrong, you're using an iPhone, you suppose to use an Android phone to take advantage of the LDAC codec, then sound quality will improve even more...
I just bought two since I really like the stereo option and soundcores are super easy to pair. I returned the bose (which sounded great) since I had to pair them in party mode every time I wanted to use them. Everything i read said this is how bose works. I have an older pair of soundcore boosts which still sound great so it will be interesting to hear the difference.
@@Blu3_777 Stereo mode is awesome. They sound great and rarely lose their pairing once set up. I returned the 300 since they really didn't sound much different than the boost (which is no slacker!) although the 300 is 30w vs. the boost at 20w. Given the slight premium in price, I'd get the 300 if I was needing a new set.
I own both of these speakers. I like the sound coming from motion 300 more. Bose is definitely not worth to buy even if it's half cheaper the current price.
No stereo pairing/party cast option with another 300 is a big let down for this Soundcore offering. It moved me from reflexively buying two to holding off for now.
The Bose might be more expensive but it offers a lot more! A lot of people will find the sound signature on the Bose much more pleasing. The Bose offers voice commands such as Google and Alexa. Its able to answer phone calls. It can also connect with other Bose Speakers using party mode or pair it in stereo mode (only using the same speaker model) which sounds phenomenal.
@@robbieasghari8361 You should probably listen to the motion 300 first, and by the way it does answer calls and work with Google commands. For one thing the motion 300 by itself has two speakers in the stereo without having to pair with a 2nd one. Having heard them both, they are very close and sound quality, minor differences.
@@therealtech833 Soundcore are just louder and seem better but the sound quality and build quality are not comparable to the Bose. Its like comparing (made in germany) and (made in china).
@therealtech833 by miles the Soundcore X600 beats the Bose. Even my Soundcore Motion + which was $50 less than the Bose sounds better since it has Aptx codec, while the Bose still uses old school SBC codec. Bose is good in terms of portability
Mine was doing that but I noticed it was on a certain cellphone, the bluetooth antenna of certain cellphones are of bad quality. With other 7 devices I haven´t had that problem.
@@rudolof8540 Thanks that may be the issue. However with my experience with other earbuds and other bluetooth speakers, has been without distortion issue.
@@JensMüller33 I have a Bose, but in this case Anker sounds better. If you're dumb enough to pay more for brands just to brag and feel good about yourself be my guest... If that is the case you just lack attention...
11:12 "The soundcore I think it has a better bass". Seriously? I have one and it sounds like a kitchen radio, no bass at all. Maybe only some shy bass if you search for a spot with better resonance. The bass of Bose SoundLink Flex cannot even compare with Motion 300, even a deaf grandma would notice it. Not saying the Soundlink flex is perfect, because it has no mids, bla bla... but it has bass, and what a bass... a lot
The Motion 300 would be a good looking speaker without that awful logo on the grill. Those metal grills also dent easily. They need to sack whoever designed it!

Thanks for your review. This could be a nice by speaker for my garden😊
Buy
@@theday2164 I have just get early bird offer from Soundcore. 👍🏻😉
Absolutely!
and my dog
What type of clamp hook is the speaker hanging from in the video? It's clamped onto a pole or something.
And the motion 300 comes with a mic 🔥. What a great review👌.
Thank you 🙌
Bought for 45$ in Poland. Good price to value, greetings🤗
Question: How does the early bird work for non-US residents? Will the $14 off be eaten by shipping etc?
ok, but then its "free shipping" rather than $14 off the device... still saving $14 wherever the discount goes
It is possible to order it from Europe? At Soundcore site is written: What countries do you ship to?
US only. Thank you for your understanding.

The Soundcore motion 300 is not pairing as a sound device in Windows 10. I'm pretty peeved. Any ideas as to how to fix this?

How do you like stereo mode using both speakers

Can this be paired with SMART TV? How does it perform and sound?
i'm getting a static sound periodically, i heard someone else complain about this , not sure what it is (brand new)
I own both of these speakers. I like the sound coming from motion 300 more. Bose is definitely not worth to buy even if it's half cheaper the current price.
Thanks I was curious about that.
Can you pair the sound core in stereo
Yes
Great review & presentation. Could you please also review Motion 100 ?
Great review. Thx🍀
No problem!
No stereo pairing/party cast option with another 300 is a big let down for this Soundcore offering.
It moved me from reflexively buying two to holding off for now.
Agreed, it would have been a nice to have that functionality.
My phone allows me to pair 2 speakers regardless of the brand.
@@JohnRogers0014which phone? And is it true stereo or just pairing two speakers? Meaning does your phone split left and right between the speakers?
it will do TWS pairing with a second x300, soundcore confirmed it
It does have pairing. New Stuff TV just made a video where he pairs two speakers
Logo looks awesome 😎
Their website advertises it in Blue and Green but theres no option to pick besides black.
Can it stereo pair with the x600?
Unfortunately not :-(
i think Tribit StormBox Flow is better waiting for the comparison
Except for the fact that the Flow isn’t stereo, it downmixes to mono audio
Tribit is a mono speaker. At least it has the warmest sound of the line vs flex and anker 300.
@@rudolof8540 i agree

Bose is good in terms of portability
I bought soundcore mainly for its lower price. For nonprofessional, really cannot tell much difference
How does the sound quality of these 2 compare with the also very portable Wonderboom 3?
Everyone is praising the Soundcore 300. I must have gotten a bad unit. My speaker had small, yet noticeable distortion even at low volume.
Mine was doing that but I noticed it was on a certain cellphone, the bluetooth antenna of certain cellphones are of bad quality. With other 7 devices I haven´t had that problem.
@@rudolof8540 Thanks that may be the issue. However with my experience with other earbuds and other bluetooth speakers, has been without distortion issue.
it will come tribit stormbox flow which is design almost the same like bose, compate soundcore to tribit will be interesting :D
Can you pair two together like the Bose?
Unfortunately not at the moment but hopefully this will come as a software update later down the line 🙏
@@smarthomesounds thanks, but that makes it a deal breaker for me and probably a lot of other people
If it sounds amazing, i dont if there's a big soundcore logo.

this costs 400 dollars here in argentina!
Nice review, I've always been a bose fan and sonos but i have yet to see what it sounds like. Got me pre-ordered with the $15 coupon off on FB.
You mean a fanboy
Nix the Vocal fry .
It sounds great
Soundcore is 30 watts of course it will give more bass and will be louder compare to 20 watts bose
Too much talking, lack sound test which is most important thing
Soundcore Motion 300 vs JBL flip 6
Anker 🎉🕺👍
URGENT - EARLY BIRD IS US ONLY!
You did everything except a sound test. 6 minutes into the video and nothing...
There’s two sound tests
Maybe watch the whole video….
I mean massive long test audio samples
@@matfalkner 23 seconds and 16 seconds sound samples 2 minutes apart...
You are lucky you missed the sound test. Worst music ever 😂

No sound comparison and just blah blah. Totally bad.
Need more sound test 🎶 too much blah blah 😹
The huge logo ruins it
Logo = deal breaker
We think so too!
It’s like that tried to copy Beats without anyone noticing
It's true, I love their products, but I don't want anyone seeing me using them :'D it breaks my heart.
Such logic. Tell me, do you listen to a speaker or just look at it?

I have this motion 300 and is one of worse purchases, distortion at 10w , save and buy other brandas like Sony or Bose.
