For the record, the Motion Boom actually does float and is fully waterproof with an IPX7 rating.Īnker says the Motion Boom delivers "huge stereo sound" and yes, it plays pretty loud and has a decent amount of bass with reasonable clarity. Equipped with a handle and weighing a little over 4 pounds, the speaker reminds me of one of those giant flashlights or "floating lanterns" that were in vogue about 30 years ago.
Boom speaker charger upgrade#
It comes in a couple of color options and can be linked wirelessly with other Willen speakers to augment the sound.Īnker's more expensive Soundcore Motion Boom Plus (see above) is a substantial sound upgrade over the original Motion Boom but this model remains a very good mini boom box for the money. The Willen can be stood up vertically or laid down horizontally and has a built-in microphone for speakerphone calls. But it's nicely designed, feels rugged and fits in a jacket pocket, weighing in it at 0.68 pound (308 grams). The main strike against it is its price - it would ideally cost around $80.
Boom speaker charger driver#
Its 2-inch full range driver and two passive radiators put out more sound than you'd think it would for its tiny size and offer decent clarity as well just enough bass to avoid sounding tinny (you can choose from three preset sound modes).īattery life is good at around 15 hours of playback time at moderate volume levels and the speaker is IPX67 dust-proof and waterproof. Also like those speakers, it also has an integrated strap on its base so you can clip it onto a backpack or a bike handlebar for that matter. Marshall's little mono Willen speaker is similar to Bose's SoundLink Micro and other micro speakers like the Tribit StormBox Micro 2.

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. 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.
Boom speaker charger Bluetooth#
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 dust-proof 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. 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. 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 keep the volume in the 50%-to-75% range). 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 dust-proof 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 new Bluetooth speakers of 2022. But the new-for-2022 Motion Boom Plus is significantly improved, particularly in terms of sound quality. Anker'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.
