They do branch with Anker so not really but to be fair it competes hard. I have the life Q20's and space Q45's so this is gonna be an easy buy since this is indeed a steal.
I ended up with Soundcore 2 speaker to replace my 10+ year old Bose SoundLink mini because of its battery finally letting go. Replacing it is quite a hassle from the research I've done since you basically have to take the thing apart and do soldering. But mainly there's no direct Bose battery replacement, just a bunch of Chinese knockoffs from Amazon. And speaking about knockoffs, I actually tried to buy a new SoundLink but Bose doesn't sell them anymore and I got stiffed getting a complete fake of Ebay. Anyways, I got my Anker from Walmart for $50 bucks. Figured you can't go wrong. And obviously the sound quality is nowhere near as good as the Bose, I was pleasantly surprised with ease of use and quality for the price. But again sound quality is not the best therefore its more of a audiobook, video watching use than music. That's why I'm looking for something a bit better. Looks like this X600 would be a good bet but I wish they haven't done that handle thing the way they did. Spoils the look for me.
I got a powerbank from this brand as a gift for free when I was ordering a soldering station from Weller (I could choose the gift) I´m very happy to see other products from them and I´m very happy with the gift I got from them, nice build quality, it´s the Powercore 20100
I have the blue Motion X600 and it is an excellent speaker. It is powerful and the clarity of the sound it produces is superb. There isn't any need to purchase another Bluetooth speaker after this one in my opinion. Total 5 stars.
I love this speaker. Last week I went all in and got a Sony SRS-XG300, JBL Xtreme 3, LG XBoom 360 (xo3q), Marshall Middleton, and the Soundcore MotionX600 just so I could do a deep dive and really figure out my favorite. They all sounded fantastic but the Soundcore just did a little something extra to the music and added a few more layers in the Treble that the others didn't. At the end of the day I actually wound up keeping the LG Xboom 360 cause it was the most sonically consistent of the group where no sound ever got overpowered by another and the music never overpowered the vocals. This was the only thing I noticed about the Soundcore depending on what I was listening to, which was why I didn't keep it. Out of the group the best sounding overall to me was the LG and not by a large margin at all mind you, but I will say this: if you are someone who primarily listens to beat heavy music like Hip Hop, EDM, instrumentals, or just doesn't put alot of value in vocal clarity then the Soundcore is very VERY hard to beat especially for its price
@misterfilmguy That is true I agree with that but what I try to do is buy used and clarify my intentions with the seller first before purchasing if I'm doing it for research purposes. This deep dive was through 2 sellers who expressed they were fine with it as long as I paid for the return shipping of the Middleton and Soundcore which I did. Buying new can be abusive but sometimes sellers are flexible with their used gear
hi. i hate too much bass. i listen to ancient music, like Jimi Hendrix. I'm into guitar & vocals. Are you saying this X600 will sound like the kids playing hip hop at the beach? Thanks
@BarbarraBay Not at all! They all honestly sound really good, and stuff like Hendrix will sound great on each of them. I will say, however, that if your primary focus is treble and mid-range clarity I would get the Marshall Middleton.
I bought one of these speakers. I am an audiophile. not some dumb kid looking for a speaker that is driven toward bass only. For a small speaker, and at $200. this is the best I have herd so far (for sound quality not volume). Some of the other speakers I own are the JBL boombox, mini rig 2 AIWA. I am amazed at how little people care about sound quality today. The full range on this speaker is perfect for it's size. every frequency is herd. your not missing mids or highs to divert that energy toward bass. good range and clear.
@@Gianni-tn2xg XG300 is a very good speaker compared to others of the same size league. Shame the bass profile of the sony speakers is pronounced in xg300,XE300 and XG500,even with the proper tweaks in the EQ and the xbass disabled is to much for me but is an excelent speaker for DRM, hip hop, pop, cumbia and salsa.
Could you please, a year later, throw some suggestions my way?I'm shopping around & I ONLY care about sound quality. I don't care if the batter dies in an hour or if it's the size of a Buffalo, I don't care if it is waterproof or not...i don't care if its the color of puke.. lol I can't care about anything but the sound because that's how much I care about the sound. So if you have any suggestions, hit me with em,pretty please. Thank you.
Would have liked to hear more about your tweaking of the EQ curve on the app, as others have said that out of the box they weren’t too impressed until they started tweaking the EQ. I noticed your comment about the default EQ being very bass heavy but didn’t hear anything more about your EQ tinkering.
I love soundcore. I have a pair of motion booms, q30, liberty 3 pro, life u2, life nc.... but all of these reviews are so flattering, and they all have basically the same title.. They are indistinguishable from paid reviews. I just can't trust reviews of soundcore products anymore bc they're so hyperbolic. Alan Ross pointed this out in his video and it's kind of crazy
Normally, I would agree with you but this little BT box is the highest fidelity I’ve ever heard from a portable bluetooth speaker. The sound is wayyy bigger than the size would have you think. Yep, prepare to be impressed by this little badass. I could almost live without my mini desktop separates and just use this. Only negative is, it can be a bit too bright on certain recordings and though the EQ helps, you can still hear a hint of sharpness. Granted, this can be because I have it turned on axis.
I just got this speaker for Father’s Day it’s awesome my god it’s hi-fi the sound is amazing Soundcore has great speakers they all are outstanding and the app is awesome to customize the sound to your liking no disappointments here. The price will drop give it time I have the green love it.
I've realized how they're "meant to be used". Don't bother buying just one, get a pair of them, get a proper left/ right 3.5 mm jack, place the one on each side with you in the middle, a surreal experience. Can't wait to get a pair of motion boom pluses and connect them all at once.
Just purchased today and listened side by side with my older Megaboom 3. Taking this X600 back to the store. It's a good speaker for the price, but the sound quality doesn't compare with the Megaboom. It's a bit older now but still sounds fantastic.
I am an old dawg like you...teen in the 80s. I LOVE mine and am stupid-critical of my boomboxes. It is mid-sized...a plus for traveling. VERY balanced soundstage
Tbh I was alittle let down on the spatial audio AT FIRST. But then I set it on the back of my lounge chair facing the back of my head and wow was I blown away. it felt like I had studio headphones on. Plus the bass reverberated throughout my seat which added to the experience.
After seeing how weak these are in the low end frequency response, i don't know how anyone can honestly say its the best. Also with firmware updates they over boosted the low end making it clip. Glad i found another channel with someone who isn't a shill.
Anyone know how Anker/Soundcore does this. Their speakers always perform the same or better than speakers that cost double than theirs. How do they keep their price so low while delivering high quality audio products.
Great review, but you should clarify that this is a sponsored video and the terms of the sponsorship, as in that you are giving your opinion under no condition that Soundcore or whoever is buying a positive from you.
There's a sponsored bug that runs on the screen at the beginning of every sponsored video. No one gets any kind of editorial say over what I say in my videos unless I actually get something wrong. I find that the people who do give disclaimers in their videos make me more nervous than those that don't. At the end of the day, I don't do anything in sponsored videos that I wouldn't do in unsponsored videos. There's always a conflict when the power dynamic is out of balance in the way they are when money is involved. I'm an adult. I can maintain my credibility in the face of commerce.
@jamesmichael900 I was not instructed to hit talking points. I maintain editorial control over my content as a matter of course when I work with any brand. and to imply that getting paid to do my job in some way invalidates my ability to be honest is, frankly, insulting.
Can it handle being outdoors in direct sunlight? I have a bluetooth speaker, but when laying out in the sun listening to music it heats up and shuts itself down depending on how long it is in the sun.
What's the point of having those sound options if it sounds crappy w/o them on? I think they're making normal enhancements seem awesome when they're really same ol, same ol
I'm gonna buy one and give it a try. Even though it resembles a Sony clock-radio-cassette player combo you'd get at Circuit City or Radio Shack in the early 90s ... am I carbon dating myself?
It's nice to have customizable eq on the app (thought it's obviously poorly designed from seeing you trying to use it) but it's stupid that there's no on-the-box tone control at all for QUICK changes. Does it have a headphone jack? No? Really stupid. Also, these devices that have non-replaceable internal rechargeable batteries turn into door-stops when the battery dies. More toxic landfill junk.
How is their sound compared to the Liberty 4? I had these but really missed the middle frequencies and now I have and love the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 as I'm very used to neutral sound profiles. Now I need an affordable speaker for my kitchen.
Not even mad at all the devices you have on your Bluetooth list but just know you are one of my favorite content creators and I’m here for you you do not have to live this way 😂 great review as always
Had mine over a week now. Fantastic bit of kit, unbelievably loud and clear for its size and I have a few Bluetooth speakers. I would compare the audio quality with an Echo Studio for the spatial and bass. The buttons for the bass and spatial don't need to be there, because in honesty, it doesn't sound good with them off, a lot better out there, but when they're on there's no comparison.
x600 would be a good choice because is not bass focused speaker, is more focused on middle and high range. Other option would be boombocs studio internet radio or Aduio pro Addon C5 or C10 mkII
Hi how are you ? Sorry just wondering I already have a Motion+ and Not sure if I should buy one more or buy two X600 while its on sale in Australia Thanks
can i ask what you have compared this to in terms of other portable speakers? to say its the best you heard at $200 makes me wonder if youve heard many? tx.
@@thejasontlewis so this is better than the stormbox blast? Jbl boombox 3? Even a pair of motion booms or pluses? Its better because? What does it do better? Tx.
@@martin3708 haven't tried the first two, but it's better than the Motion Boom and Boom plus in every way for sound quatily. But they're not really speakers to compare against one another because they are designed for different purposes. The X600 is more of a hifi speaker with spatial audio capabilities, while the Motion Boom is a party speaker. I enjoy them both.
@@thejasontlewis In terms of the motion boom, the boom plays much deeper so right there goes that statement that the x600 is better in everyway. If you buy two motion booms and play them in stereo they blow the x600 away including in real soundstage not the airy phase shifting that spatial audio uses along with the upward driver. Two booms are actually cheaper than one x600. I have to ask dude how you describe this as a HiFi speaker? Presumably you are using it in spatial mode which has little to do with accuracy and more to do with psychoacoustics to trick your ears which inevitably means a non-accurate frequency response. In terms of the x600 bass, its simply a narrow mids push, nothing hifi about that and many people have major bass distortion with this speaker including myself. I think the fact you describe the motion boom as a party speaker shows me you are simply someone who doesn’t like deep bass. So often I see this, that someone describes a speaker as being hifi like simply because it sounds crisp (due to being overly bright) and has lightweight bass. But that’s not hifi, there is zero accuracy in that. I note you still haven’t clarified what speakers you compared this to that meant you state it as the best ever speaker? Its not a patch on the stormbox Bast which is a $200 speaker. so not even the best $200 speaker let alone best speaker ever. I guess that was just for clickbait? Im sorry but you talk about reviewing audio for 10 years but started your video by describing the upward firing driver as a sky channel 😁 its a driver that faces up, lol, nothing groundbreaking here and why are you calling it a sky channel like its some sort of new technology? you got the speaker for free and are using their affiliate links, shouldn't this video be labelled as paid promotion??
I have 2 Soundcore Bluetooth speaker and I am impressed with the quality of sound for the price, maybe I need a 3rd Speaker as the x600 sounds brilliant!
love your reviews Jason....i understand the obsession...especially with sound...this is an awesome speaker...tempting...but i have all i need or think i do??? ha
@@Xtremefox7 I had a motion plus and sent it back ! I settled on the two motion booms because on their own their amazing, in a pair are really impressive when linked together, and they're £53 each on Amazon !
Please fiddle with your noise gate and compression a bit on your mic. I can hear some background noise whenever you're talking (fan? heater? ac? not sure what), then a hard cut to silence when you stop. I really want to listen to you, but that's all I can hear.
Congrats. You can hear a noise gate at work. I do this by myself and make every effort to get it as right as I can. Sorry it didn't live up to your standards.
Yes , has better presentation for music just by not downmixing the music to mono like revolve does and more clarity. Bose is just better in 360 sound imaging but the music feels convoluted in mono mixing. I don´t have the x600 but a familiar has it and I test it a lot of times.
Soundcore - just like Wiim, Fiio and dozens of other Chinese audio brands - can do it for the price because they don't pay the wages we expect in developed countries (offtopic, but China and India are still considered developing countries). They also have efficiencies of scale that Western manufacturers can only dream of. The question then becomes how much of the cost of an iPhone made in China is the dreaded 'Apple tax' ? A debate best left for another day, but you DID ask how Soundcore do it for the money.
How are you a tech reviewer and actually think that your hi-res lossless tracks in Apple Music are actually outputting that way over Bluetooth? Apple only uses the AAC codec for Bluetooth which maxes out at 320 kbps.
You've got to understand that what you're hearing is coming through a mic designed to pick up voice in a video setting. It's not going to be accurate in hearing everything. I provided the samples so you can hear the difference between the modes. I haven't heard the JBL you mentioned.

Does Apple Music recognize the speaker as a spatial audio device ? So when playing a spatial audio song does it show spatial audio on Apple Music?
It only plays stereo then upmixes to the 5 drivers, it doesn't actually play any spatial audio format. These reviews are very misleading.
How does it compare to the Riva Turbo X or the Bose Revolve plus ???

@@thejasontlewis In terms of the motion boom, the boom plays much deeper so right there goes that statement that the x600 is better in everyway. If you buy two motion booms and play them in stereo they blow the x600 away including in real soundstage not the airy phase shifting that spatial audio uses along with the upward driver. Two booms are actually cheaper than one x600. I have to ask dude how you describe this as a HiFi speaker? Presumably you are using it in spatial mode which has little to do with accuracy and more to do with psychoacoustics to trick your ears which inevitably means a non-accurate frequency response. In terms of the x600 bass, its simply a narrow mids push, nothing hifi about that and many people have major bass distortion with this speaker including myself.
I think the fact you describe the motion boom as a party speaker shows me you are simply someone who doesn’t like deep bass. So often I see this, that someone describes a speaker as being hifi like simply because it sounds crisp (due to being overly bright) and has lightweight bass. But that’s not hifi, there is zero accuracy in that. I note you still haven’t clarified what speakers you compared this to that meant you state it as the best ever speaker? Its not a patch on the stormbox Bast which is a $200 speaker. so not even the best $200 speaker let alone best speaker ever. I guess that was just for clickbait?
Im sorry but you talk about reviewing audio for 10 years but started your video by describing the upward firing driver as a sky channel 😁
its a driver that faces up, lol, nothing groundbreaking here and why are you calling it a sky channel like its some sort of new technology? you got the speaker for free and are using their affiliate links, shouldn't this video be labelled as paid promotion??
I wonder how it compares to the TDK A34, which sounds amazing and it's very well made?
I have 2 Soundcore Bluetooth speaker and I am impressed with the quality of sound for the price, maybe I need a 3rd Speaker as the x600 sounds brilliant!
cool. now how long is the life of the battery? my JBL lasted 2 years.
I have the soundcore boom.
The soundcore motion +
Is it worth looking at this when i have these 2 already?
It's a different beast alktogether. More refined sound and the spatial audio functionality.
100 000 years from now aliens will dig ground and will find a thick layer of bluetooth speakers from year 2000
love your reviews Jason....i understand the obsession...especially with sound...this is an awesome speaker...tempting...but i have all i need or think i do??? ha
Torn between this and Harman Kardon Aura 4. Can you help me decide?
Custom all to the top its loud cheers.
Is it good to practice singing with?
Made my mind up. Thanks.
So is the Soundcore a huge shit?
@@Xtremefox7 no I ended up buying two motionbooms, very happy, in fact am blown away by them for the price.
@@HuSiaCat Cool. I'm looking for something to use inside my room only, but I can't decide between X600, Motion Plus, or even Bose Soundlink.
@@Xtremefox7 I had a motion plus and sent it back ! I settled on the two motion booms because on their own their amazing, in a pair are really impressive when linked together, and they're £53 each on Amazon !
@@Xtremefox7 I'd say x600 but don't rule out what I did, 2 motion booms and you've got a perfect stereo, depends on the size of the room!
I wish this could atleast connect to the rest of my PartyCast speakers but I have and will only buy Soundcore speakers best bang for your buck!
Please fiddle with your noise gate and compression a bit on your mic. I can hear some background noise whenever you're talking (fan? heater? ac? not sure what), then a hard cut to silence when you stop. I really want to listen to you, but that's all I can hear.
Congrats. You can hear a noise gate at work. I do this by myself and make every effort to get it as right as I can. Sorry it didn't live up to your standards.
I have one, it’s good but you do need the app to get the best out of it.
Can i fix a microphone a wireless to this
This doesn't compete with the JBL Hyperboom right?
@PAINFULLYHONESTTECH can you check the VIFA brand in some of their speaker , please let me know, thanks
I used Anker flare2 ,motion+ and now X600 NO need to spend fortune for other brands ....
Intriguing, but I’d like to know what sounds good at the 100 USD price point
Is it good for outdoor
Using iphone doesnt support major dac settings such a aptx or ldac so potentially you could get even more out of the speaker
Potentially, but I'm not sure it would be a super big difference.
Is better than Bose sound link plus 2?
Yes , has better presentation for music just by not downmixing the music to mono like revolve does and more clarity. Bose is just better in 360 sound imaging but the music feels convoluted in mono mixing. I don´t have the x600 but a familiar has it and I test it a lot of times.
You can’t hear lossless via Bluetooth connection. Needs to be wired in, I believe. I could be wrong; not an audiophile.
That would make sense since bluetooth (given the way it works) compresses the audio anyway.
If you use L-DAC you will get full res lossless won't work with iphone though and will half your battery life
Soundcore - just like Wiim, Fiio and dozens of other Chinese audio brands - can do it for the price because they don't pay the wages we expect in developed countries (offtopic, but China and India are still considered developing countries). They also have efficiencies of scale that Western manufacturers can only dream of. The question then becomes how much of the cost of an iPhone made in China is the dreaded 'Apple tax' ? A debate best left for another day, but you DID ask how Soundcore do it for the money.
That handle really needs to move out of the way….
Great video, thank you.
I have their liberty 3 earbuds and they are incredible
Does it better than divoom tivoo max ?
I love soundcore
At 4:15 how did the iPhone play hi res over Bluetooth?! iPhone doesn’t have LDAC Bluetooth codec does it?!
No, but the iPhone has its own hi res codec
How many portable speakers have you heard?
Can this be paired with another one for true stereo while using the AUX input?
Yes
Why doset iPhone support LDAC??
Maybe for the price. But if this is the best portable speaker you've ever heard, you haven't listened to many
impressive!
There are so many qualifiers after that worlds first it is completely meaningless
Not sure what you mean.
130 in the Netherlands right now
Re-Packaged Roland BMT-1, but enhanced for better sound.
Non disclosed sponsored video?
Bought the x600. Returned it the next day. Completely underwhelmed by its performace.
Why they don’t add (FM radio) on these bluetooth speakers ???
It's not 1979?
@@thejasontlewis well nothing good in 2024 either
Why was the uploaded again??
Where do I put the cassette in?
In your mind.
How are you a tech reviewer and actually think that your hi-res lossless tracks in Apple Music are actually outputting that way over Bluetooth? Apple only uses the AAC codec for Bluetooth which maxes out at 320 kbps.
Never said that.
I'd get one, but I can't do that handle.
Guys i am getting one in under 200$ is it worth it?
I think so. I love mine.
Not impressed it sounded like a small speaker with the music that you played in very little base output,
How does it compare to the JBL extreme three
You've got to understand that what you're hearing is coming through a mic designed to pick up voice in a video setting. It's not going to be accurate in hearing everything. I provided the samples so you can hear the difference between the modes.
I haven't heard the JBL you mentioned.
Hi, someone try to connect electroacoustic guitar by jack cable to it? Is it work for simple garden "play"? :)
I don't think so.
need a pre amp
Can anyone tell me how to add a subwoofer to a Bluetooth speaker?
rca to sub input or sub out
Only compact stereo speakers like monitors shelf speakers or book shelf self powered speakers if those has the Sub RCA output.
That handle makes this a pass
