Alan Ross Reviews Top Picks:
Pound for pound world champion:
Soundcore Motion Boom: geni.us/motionboom
Amazingly deep bass to 40hz for its size and price.
For a leaner more agile sound with seven more deep bass for the same price try the Mifa Wildbox
Still worth a look:
My former world champ the Soundcore Motion Plus can still offer great clarity.
geni.us/soundcoremotionplus
£50 champion:
Great bass for its size, Soundcore Boost: geni.us/soundcoreboost
Tribit Xsound Mega: medium sized mono speaker with fun bass and light show. geni.us/xsoundmega
Bass Heavy Speakers:
Soundcore Motion Boom Plus: Hard to beat for price, weight and loudness. A bit harsh. geni.us/motionboomplus
Very Deep bass (40hz) but lacks clear mids and highs JBL Boombox 2: geni.us/jblboombox2
Harman Kardon Go+ (mid and upper bass heavy but with decent balance): Play geni.us/goplay
Onyx Studio 6 (warmer than the 7, bass heavy in balance): geni.us/onyxstudio6
Bag of Riddim 2: dollops of mid and upper bass help to give a warm and open sound. Fun listen but not to accurate. geni.us/bagofriddim
Hi End Picks
Minirig mk3 2.2 system: geni.us/minirigmk3
Great for portable low deep kick: Onyx Studio 6 (more bass than Onyx 7): geni.us/onyxstudio6
Monitor Like openess and neutrality but lacks deep bass Audio Pro C3: geni.us/audioproc3
Travel Speakers:
Marshall Stockwell 2: geni.us/stockwell2
offers a decent immersive sound with full and tight bass. Beware though it does not go very loud
JBL Charge 5: geni.us/jblcharge5, mono but has a very clear and dynamic sound at low volumes and can go reasonably loud. Bit screechy over 80%.
Bose Soundlink Flex: geni.us/bosesoundlinkflex good bass heavy sound for its compact travel friendly size.
Denon 250bt, no longer made but the standard for size/quality ratio?
JBL Flip 6: geni.us/jblflip6 louder than the Bose Soundlink Flex and has better highs (though too much, bit harsh) but not as full sounding as the Flex.
Beosound A1 1st gen: sounds better than 2nd gen and goes louder but has app, connectivity and battery issues. Very deep bass for small size and clearer than the Bose Flex. geni.us/a1gen1
Best Mini/Micro Options:
Bose Soundlink Micro (warm): geni.us/bosesoundlinkmicro
Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 (clinical): geni.us/tribitmicro2
Also consider Beosound A1 1st gen (more HiFi). geni.us/a1gen1
Minirig Mini 2: geni.us/minirigmini2
Worth a Look:
W-King T9: geni.us/wkingt9
The T9 is a reasonably loud and balanced party speaker with a big bright detailed sound.
Budget Loud Boombox: no clear winner but my pick for fun outside listen would be:
W-King X10-1 for form factor and loudness geni.us/wkingx10
W-King D9 for bass with a little smoother signature: geni.us/wkingd9
Soundcore Motion Boom Plus or the older JBL Xtreme 3 :)
Alan Ross Reviews, probably the best reviews in the universe :)

Suddenly, the MB+ does not interest me because I listen especially my music inside where the little MBs are awesome!🤩

@analyticalaudio1102 2 года назад

Thanks Alan for the comparison. I think it's good that you go into the different purposes with the MB+. Many customers would not buy a whole collection of Bluetooth speakers just for outside. It's also partly a hobby. The MB+ can satisfy a very wide range of tastier music, although not all. It's amazing how much detail he's able to reproduce. Even if he exaggerates from time to time, I wouldn't want to give him up anymore. A loudspeaker with potential!

@boing_bln 2 года назад

I'm just testing both speaker. In my opinion the JBL sounds more balanced, vocals are warmer and fuller. Complex music sounds cleaner in comparison to the Boom Plus. Even if you increase the highs on the JBL, it sounds more pleasant. As you already mentioned, the Boom Plus' highs are harsh. Try listen to UB40 or Queen, your ears are going to bleed with the Boom Plus. BUT the Boom Plus is louder and much cheaper. Boom Plus is recommended for parties. JBL is the allrounder.

@alanrossreviews 2 года назад

yup, you nailed it 👍

@jcmolero71 Год назад

in my case the xtreme 3 keeps being balanced with the eq curve, specially with songs of my old country by Pastor López, some of his songs has a bass notes sequence that sounds out of proportions in other speakers as notes go higher, instead in the xtreme such notes keep approximately the same level making more pleasant to listen, that’s the reason I don’t like the boosted upper bass In other videos I listened the soundcore and it tended to harsh in trebles (supposedly corrected in recent firmware), abandoning the bass in 65% and saturating over 85%, and always having those mids

@emmanuelnoel494 2 года назад

Thanks Alan for another indepth review featuring the MB+. The more of these reviews I see from you and the others, the more insight I get on this speaker. Do you think the missing deep bass of the MB+ is due to tuning or the type of hardware (that is the type of woofers used)? Would it be possible for Soundcore to implement deep bass through a software update? If I'm not mistaken I heard you say 65mm woofers which is different from those on the Motion Boom. Probably different brands. Can an updated tuning also make the twitters come alive more than they do now? Or we get what we get with the quality of Twitters put in the speaker?

@alanrossreviews 2 года назад

poor passive radiators i think, narrow 65hz tuning, dont sound very musical at all.

@emmanuelnoel494 2 года назад

Thanks Alan. Here's to hoping they will improve on the feedback you and a few other reviewers are bringing to light. I kinda feel they rushed it out. Hopefully it will get better n better with time. I plan on placing my order before the 15th...before the discount window expires.

@Agjdbtighend 2 года назад

As someone who follows a lot of speaker designers and diy forums, when I first received mine I thought the passive radiators looked too small for the woofer size. When I fired it up I definitely heard the passive radiators hit their end stops with certain frequencies. The Boombox and Stormbox blast don't seem to have this design issue. I'm waiting for the Stormbox Blast to come back in stock so I can order one personally

@Grommet2007 Год назад

@@alanrossreviews 65 Hz?? That's pretty high. The Mifa Wildbox's PRs seem to be tuned to around 50 Hz, based on the measurements I've made. I'd be tempted to stick on some roofing tape on the insides of those PRs to see if I can drop their resonance frequency a bit.

Any risk you could get an Aiwa exos-3 or even a Teufel rockster cross to kill off the Jbl's with? :) I do own a Boombox (1) and I like it for what it's doing at party's and such, but it is too big and heavy to always carry around. I would like a smaller speaker but to me the soundcores' has to much of a plasticky look and feel to them. The search continues. Have a good 1 and Cheers!

I think the appareance of the speaker is not the most important thing! Looks like SC Motion Boom Plus gives u a really full and balanced sound, I think it's a good option.

That's because these speakers don't have active crossover, so both the woofers and the tweeters on Xtreme 3 share a 2x25W (plugged in) or 2X15W (battery) amp

they shouldnt be saying +, it isnt plus. With the boombox they actually state 160 watts and 80 watts plus 80 watts, thats simply not true.

@DerMelvinHerfet93 2 года назад

I had the MB+ with me on a camping Weekend. Normally i am a little bit sensitive to harshness, but I don't really now where those complains come from. Outdoors the tweeters are well needed for clarity and don't sound harsh at all and we used it indoors on full Lvl volume, where it looses very much bass. And from 70 people nobody heard harshness and everyone celebrated the punchy bass and loudness. The only explanation for me is that i used it as a party speaker with EDM and HIP HOP and not high quality Jazz etc. And the last question I have is: when the speaker sounds too harsh, why would you EQ al the highs so much louder? My EQ has a big deep Bass up bump and then a little mids vor Vocals and only a little bit of highs. When you push the highs to +6 it has to sound harsh, doesn't it?

@alanrossreviews 2 года назад

no! the highs push you talk of is a push into the harmonics where the boom plus tails off, so its a flat eq. the harshness is mostly at 6khz, did you not hear me say that over and over? and so i have eq'd around it. flattening out the mids also helps balance the overall sound allowing for more eq at the high end.

@DerMelvinHerfet93 2 года назад

@@alanrossreviews sorry i am sure I heard it, but i saw many reviews since the launch. Just forgot that. Makes sense, i'll try it the next days. Nevertheless, especially outside, it doesn't sound harsh for me. And no one around me complained. Have you tried it with "party music" and outside? We only had an Xtreme 3 there to compare, without EQ for the JBL the MB+ sounded clearer, way loudery waaaaay more bass and overall better. (But you said that in your review too so that's no critic).

That said, a high 6Khz peak is shrill and nasty so i hope they rebalance the base profile of this speaker. I bet the thing has a lot of potential in it and i like it's pretty elegant look.

@Eron55555 2 года назад

Not sure if you saw my reply to a reply in here Alan. But I observed the oddest thing. The passive radiators on my two boom pluses were puffed out and rattly as heck in the morning. I took a break, came back outside and noticed the radiators were now magically recessed looking a lot better and the rattle was pretty much gone for my second round of playing. What da heck? This is a verry hit and miss speaker.

@alanrossreviews 2 года назад

Alan you have to compare the plus to the storm box blast. Supposedly that speaker is incredible also. Hopefully my two motion booms will still be better than the storm box blast. Ray

@RonXKred27 2 года назад

@@alanrossreviews I get about 6-7 hours using it only around 20% volume! I contacted Soundcore and they said that we should be getting 20 hours at 50% battery with bassup off. I am using a custom EQ and getting nowhere near this at much lower volumes. Want to point out this is my second Boom Plus as well. I returned first one due to harsh sound and bad battery. Waiting on the so called second update to see if the sound improves but the horrible battery life on the second unit leads me to believe this is not an isolated problem. Could be a big batch of bad batteries out there. I won't be trying a third to test this theory. Everything points to Soundcore rushing to get these out the door with little QA testing. I expect more things to pop up over the next few weeks too. I noticed my left passive radiator emits a vibration noise at about 50% volume too on bass heavy tracks. Fantastic! /s

I agree the JBL xtreme has been overpriced since the 2 dropped years ago, but nothing comes close to delivering real bass. I wish they offered a more in depth EQ, but at least they give you one now. I just watch for a few week/months, bought the Xtreme 2 for $180 and the Xtreme 3 for $220, still paying too much but the bass for me is worth it. Soundcore speakers always sound great and can often get louder, but the lack of bass.
