However, if you pair two of them together in stereo mode, the sound gets to a whole other level and indeed fills a larger room.Īnker's new Soundcore Motion X600 mini boom box not only has has a premium look and feel with a metal grille and carrying handle, but includes some interesting features like spatial audio and support for Sony's LDAC audio codec. From my tests, I'd say it would have to be a relatively small living room - a single speaker can only output so much sound. For some reason, it uses the older Bluetooth 4.2 instead of 5.0, but I didn't have any problems with connectivity.īose says it can fill a living room with sound. The Flex also floats and Bose says it can survive drops and bumps, with a soft silicone back and powder-coated steel grille that "won't peel or flake and is resistant to corrosion and UV light."īose's SoundLink Micro also delivers impressive sound for its tiny size and this speaker is bigger, weighing just over a pound (0.45 kg) and measuring 7.9 inches wide, 2.1 inches deep and 3.6 inches high (20 by 5.3 by 9.1 centimeters), so it sounds significantly better than the Micro. The speaker is IP67 dustproof and waterproof, and rated for 12 hours of battery life at moderate volume levels. Available in three color options - black, white smoke and stone blue (pictured) - it's equipped with Bose's PositionIQ technology to automatically detect the speaker's orientation and deliver optimized sound based on whether it's upright, hanging or flat on its back. But it mostly lives up to the hype and arguably is the best-sounding wireless speaker for its compact size. When the SoundLink Flex speaker launched, Bose made some bold claims about its new Bluetooth speaker, particularly its extra bass performance. It's currently selling for $180 at Amazon, but you can save $20 by activating the instant coupon on the product page.

But if you really want to improve the sound quality, you can wirelessly pair two Soundcore Motion Boom Plus speakers to create a real stereo pair. If you're sitting within a few feet of the speaker, there's a bit of stereo separation. (I tended to keep the volume in the 50%-to-75% range.) For its size, the speaker is able to put out a lot of sound and mostly manages to avoid distorting at higher volumes.

I tended to go with the bass boost engaged and found that the speaker delivers full sound with good clarity in the mids and highs and good bass definition. There's a button on the speaker to activate bass boost.

You can tweak the sound profile (with EQ settings) and upgrade the speaker's firmware in Anker's Soundcore companion app for iOS and Android. I was impressed with the sound quality, which measures up well against a few more expensive - and some larger - speakers on this list. It's also IP67 waterproof and dustproof and floats if you happen to drop it in a body of water. Battery life is rated for 20 hours at moderate volume levels. Weighing 5.29 pounds (almost a pound more than the Motion Boom), it uses Bluetooth 5.3 and is equipped with upgraded dual 3.5-inch woofers and newly added dual 1-inch tweeters, delivering up to 80 watts of audio output (60W for the woofers and 20W for the tweeters). It's easily one of the best Bluetooth speakers of 2023. But the new-for-2022 Motion Boom Plus is significantly improved, particularly in terms of sound quality. The only downside to the speaker is that it's fairly expensive but I was otherwise impressed.Īnker's original Soundcore Motion Boom speaker (see below) has been on this list for a while and is still a decent value at a little more than $100. Marshall says the Middleton uses True Stereophonic, "a unique form of multidirectional stereo sound" and I did think the soundstage was bigger than what you typically get from a speaker this size. You can pair two or more speakers to amplify the sound but you can't pair two speakers together to create a stereo pair. Its USB-C charging port also has a charge-out feature that allows you to use the speaker as a power bank and charge your devices. I also liked that it has equalizer controls on the speaker itself - I did bump the bass a bit - and is fully waterproof and dustproof with an IP67 rating.īattery life is rated at up to 20 hours at moderate volume levels and Marshall says it takes 4.5 hours to fully recharge the speaker.
Any way you look at it, it sounds very good for its size and puts out a surprising amount of quality bass while offering good treble detail and natural-sounding mids (where vocals live).

Weighing 4 pounds (1.8kg), it's bigger than Marshall's Emberton speaker and smaller and more portable than its Kilburn II speaker. But it also isn't so beefy that you get a workout carrying it around. Marshall's new-for-2023 Middleton speaker isn't exactly compact.
