Anker Soundcore Motion 300

Scored on 17 verified owner verdicts, from 1,408 comments read across 4 communities
TL;DR
Owners generally feel the Motion 300 is a strong value with deep, full bass and a tunable EQ that helps dial in the sound, and several rate it as a great little 360 speaker laid flat. The most common complaints are that it can sound muddy or unclear even after EQ, that the bass doesn't carry well over distance outdoors, and that the boosted bass can drown out the mids.

47% of 17 verified owners recommend the Anker Soundcore Motion 300, based on real owner verdicts aggregated from Reddit, enthusiast forums, and YouTube.

No aux input :(. I hate that all these companies are removing aux inputs

YouTube— neutral

I have both, sounds good but the Bose flex is definitely better

YouTube▲ recommend

I ended up buying this over the Bose, no regrets at all

YouTube— neutral

for the money, it is a great speaker

YouTube▲ recommend

I ended up sending the Bose back. After making a custom EQ with the soundcore app I preferred the motion over the Bose

The HUGE logo looks tacky and cheap

YouTube— neutral

The Motion 300 would be a good looking speaker without that awful logo on the grill. Those metal grills also dent easily.

I have one and it sounds like a kitchen radio, no bass at all.

YouTube▲ recommend

Motion 300 was better to my ears...

YouTube— neutral

more resolution but not better than bose

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

the better of the 2 is the Bose big time

YouTube▲ recommend

It not only sounds better with that feature off, but has enough bass on its own, given the size of the speaker

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

The Flex is way better it's not even close

YouTube▲ recommend

And the motion 300 comes with a mic 🔥. What a great review👌.

r/Bluetooth_Speakers— neutral

The Motion 300 definitely goes deeper in the bass and is bass boosted out of the box which can drown out the mids. If you value boosted bass over midrange detail then you'll like the Motion 300 for sure.

I own both. Bose is better. Believe me.

YouTube▲ recommend

The 300 blows the flex away. Unbelievable for the price.

r/Bluetooth_Speakers— neutral

At first I didn't like x300 to much. bass was ¿not clear? for me. Something wasn't right, but I started to like it with the time.

YouTube— neutral

Soundcore is the best deal but i prefer the bose for lightness and overall sound experience over the motion 300

YouTube▲ recommend

My money VERY happily went to Anker on this particular purchase.

Logo = deal breaker

r/Bluetooth_Speakers— neutral

the Motion 300 seems to focus a more "premium" market, doesn't really feel at home at a construction site yes.

YouTube▲ recommend

I like the sound coming from motion 300 more. Bose is definitely not worth to buy even if it's half cheaper the current price.

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

my impression based on this is that the soundcore sounds like as if when you hear an mp3 with lower bitrate, where the treble is affected badly

Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.

r/Bluetooth_Speakersⓘ good to know

I felt like I experienced directionality with the Motion+ more than I did with the 300 on its back.

r/Bluetooth_Speakersⓘ good to know

My Motion 300 definitely has it too
