Thanx Jay. U just saved me some 💵. I'll just keep rockin with the Motion Plus. Less versatile, but booth 30 watts, and the Plus like u said, in a larger body, just more capable. EQ it and it sounds great.
Replaced Soundcore Motion Plus tweeters for Aiyima 8 ohm 15 watts tweeters and the change on clarity and definition are remarkable. It sounds good as it is, but some how, I felt like the Motion Plus highs were just a little muddy for my taste so I gained 2-3 db on highs by replacing tweeters. It opened more the vocals and instruments. Motion 300 sounds fantastic, but a single driver can't simply separate what tweeters can. Thanks for the great videos, Jay!!
Jay I agree with you , the OG is still the GOAT between these two… you should throw in the the Boost (upgraded) vs these two… with a custom app setting …it might surprise you!
I love the motion plus. I just wish it had better battery life. It has the 3.5 jack and the apt x.... But when I had to choose between getting a pair of it or the motion boom, I just couldn't overlook how the motion boom got triple the battery. Not really please with the direction the company has gone in 2023. Pretty spurious claims about spatial audio, oversaturation with marketing akin to raycon.... I think the glory days of soundcore were 2019-21
Seems Anker is pushing the Soundcore speaker catalog to include too many options. As much as they like coming out with new speakers, I'm still surprised they don't have a Motion+ 2.
Man, EQ settings vary by person. We don't all hear music the exact same way, nor do we all like music to sound exactly the same way. That's why I always find it silly that some tell others that their EQ should be what others use. 😆
I couldn't tell you what you should or shouldn't buy. For me personally, I think the Motion+ is a little stronger performing speaker, but it's an older model
@@JaysStraightUpReviews Yes, but every soundcore I have displays the battery level percentage. It's more convenient. A new firmware update might fix it.
The only thing you didn’t cover is that his-res codec for both and ipx ratings 😂…..Overall excellent comparison can’t stress the reliability of the customer eq 👌🏽
Are you aiming for a more balanced or neutral sound with your EQ for the 300? I'm trying to get mine to sound less boomy and more neutral/natural, tight, clear, and thrash metal-friendly 😆
Two very different styles of speakers. The Glow has a single down-firing driver for 360 degree sound. The Motion+ is a traditional front-firing speaker with two tweeters and two woofers, plus a rear and front passive radiator. For overall sound quality, I would prefer the Motion+ design.
Soundcore should release a v2 of the motion plus. I already have a motion plus and it is incredibly good. It has a punchy bass and a super crystal-clear sound. They should release a v2 of the motion plus with Bluetooth 5.3 and a bigger battery. Also, they should introduce more color options just like JBL speakers.
After hearing the difference im not happy with motion 300, drives my tinnitus like crazy must be the 400k frequency but im afraid i go to buy motion plus next day they gna release motion plus 2 :( And yes cant go much high on 300, but for mid volume its very deceny and high res with ldac 24bit / 96khz
I disagree. The Motion 300 has the better sound in my opinion. It is more full bodied which leads to a natural and organic sound. I am listening to this video with my Sony XM4 In Ears. The Motion+ sound is thinner. Some "Body" of the music is missing. It sounds colder and dryer (not clearer or better) because of these missing frequencies. It sounds good but a bit harsh. Vocals are much fuller on Motion 300, more forward, have more "body" (sweatness) and much more organic with the Motion 300. The bass on Motion 300 is more natural and fuller too as the whole sound in general. The spatiality of the sound is much better on the motion 300. "The vibe" (grooviness) of the music is more enjoyable on the motion 300 in sum, which is most important while listening. I need one. 🙂 But thank you for the great comparance on your channel.
My Motion 300 just arrived today. I love it! It sounds gorgeous with LDAC 990 set in the android developer options and CD quality music. Listening distance is about 1m. The sound is full bodied, organic, natural and very musical. The bass within 1m listening distance is nicely deep, full and punchy up to 50% volume, which is loud. It is an engaging and fun listening to electronic music. The sound is clear full bodied and not flat or analytical. Set all menu settings to off and adaptive EQ to off. It all just worsens sound quality with regard to hifi philosophy and also my ears. It sounds even if better and clearer if you deinstall the soundcore app after set to LDAC. LDAC ist still active with regard to the motion 300 as shown at the android bluetooth settings. In my case i do not need EQ and the other app settings at all. I like it pure. It is the best bluetooth speaker within 1m i have ever heard by a big margin, because of close to lossless LDAC 990 and great sound design by soundcore. It sounds much! better than my old Cambridge Audio Minx Go (4 Drivers + passive bass) and also my stormbox micro (but great for its small size). Even two Micro stormboxes in stereo would not have any chance with regard to sound quality. This speaker is gorgeous. The sound is best when the motion 300 is lying flat (not standing), e.g. positioned flat when lying on the bed right beside me. Clarity is great, Bass is deep and punchy and sound in general is awesome for such a tiny, inexpensive but heavy device. I love it! ❤
Between the Motion Plus and Motion Boom, those two speakers are ones the best speakers Anker has released. Motion Plus offers clear distortion free high-quality audio with a sleek design. Motion Boom offers loud, powerful, bassy sound quality that fills a medium-sized room and can last for a long time thanks to the 24 hour playtime.
@IamJay02 That's why I snatched the Motion Boom because of the powerful long-lasting boomy sound, and it still gets decently clear at high volumes with the help of a good custom EQ setting.
