It’s a great little speaker …
Great little speaker at this price (paid 140.00) I had found a review that classed it above similar price point Marshall Bluetooth speaker so I bought I’d give it a try. I actually prefer my mid level Marshall- it has some quality that sound core lacks … I’m not technically musical enough to describe the difference!I’ll keep the soundcore, it’s very handy to carry out, sounds good, I’m not sure whether I like the spatial audio or not. I tend to turn it off on some music.

The sound quality is amazing
This is very good speaker, little big and heavy to carry, but it’s quality is really good. And you can buy two and connect to same device it will make even better performance.

Unreal speaker for the price. Sound quality is mind blowing clear!
I was admittedly a bit skeptical at the beginning. How can a “portable” speaker be getting so many rave reviews? Being a huge fan of Anker products in general (Soundcore is a division of Anker) I know they make quality products so when Black Friday rolled around and saw this speaker on sale, I decided to bite the bullet. Did I need another speaker? Like I need a bullet in my head. But boy am I glad that I took the plunge!Out of the box, it was extremely easy to set up. It pairs in seconds with any Bluetooth device (in this case my phone) and within minutes I was jamming away. Make sure you download the Soundcore app so you can get the latest software updates and the ability to mess with the equilizers.Also the Spatial Audio feature is amazing and pairs perfectly with Apple Music. It sounds so great that I just leave the function on all the time.The speaker is a bit heavy to really be bringing it around every where you go, but I also don’t think it’s really meant to be moved around constantly. Besides you can really feel the great build quality.Thank you Anker/Soundcore for always building effective, quality and simply amazing tech for consumers to enjoy.

I use the boombox for personal listening, has long battery life. Spatial Audio and bass is fun to play around with. Only slight downer is the weight, but metal construction looks good. I got the blue one!

A round of applause for this outstanding speaker
I have been a fan of Anker’s Soundcore lineup for a while. I have the Flare 2, Motion Plus, Motion Boom, and Motion Boom Plus and while not the best sounding of the lineup it is my new favorite Anker has produced.First off the aesthetics. Except for the Flare 2 I’m used to speakers from them that frankly are rather ugly. Plastic and rubber with a metal mesh grill on the front. What a beauty this speaker is. I own a lot of bluetooth speakers and this is right up there with best. The look and feel of this speaker is just a pleasing all around.Of course if I bought speakers just for the looks I would likely not own what us arguabley one of the best affordable speaker brands out there. The Motion Plus has some of the best mids and highs, but lacks bass. The Motion Boom has the best bass of any speaker for its size, but is lacking on the highs. The Motion Boom Plus combines those two to deliver what I would consider the best sounding speaker of the lineup. The only speaker I think sounds better than the Boom Plus at its size would be the Tribit Stormbox Blast. Anything better than those cost twice the price and are a bit larger. Going a size down my favorite would be my JBL Charge 5.So where does this speaker fall? Well I would say it is a larger Motion Plus with bass that comes very close to the Motion Boom. It doesn’t match up to the Boom Plus but it is also half the size. If we compare to my favorite speaker one size down the Charge 5 it destroys that speaker. I saw some reviews claiming this speaker lacked bass… No it definitely does not. It may not hit quite as hard as the M Boom, but that like I said has the best bass of absolutely all bluetooth speakers at its size and the gap here is very small. Suggesting it has less bass the the Motion Plus though could only be possible if their X600 is defective.Lastly the reason I’m a huge fan of Soundcore speakers is honestly because they have the best eq software out of any bluetooth speaker brand I have come across. You can truly tune your speaker to sound how you want it to with a tremendous amount of control. Most custom eqs have little change to the speaker. I mention this because except for maybe the Motion Boom Plus I have not had any speaker that sounds it’s best with the standard Soundcore Signature tuning and this speaker is no exception. Out of the gate it is lacking a tiny bit in mid bass which might be what the other reviewers are complaing about with lack of bass as most speakers are mid bass forward. Even my Charge 5 had a little more mid bass out of the gate, but this trumped it on sub bass. You can even crank up the sub bass but too much and this speaker can’t handle it and becomes a bit distorted at higher volumes.Overall this is hands down the best looking and nicest sounding speaker you will find at this price point. There is no smaller speaker that sounds better, so if you want better sound you will have to go larger. I highly recommend!

the top firing spatial speaker is a major GO
The Soundcore Motion X600 is a compact Bluetooth speaker that packs a punch. The top firing spatial speaker is what makes this speaker a GO. I can’t imagine hearing any other speaker without it from here on out. It does have a sleek design and I would probably keep this in the house rather than carrying it around on the go. It has clear highs and a satisfying bass. The bass is TIGHT and that’s not necessarily something you get with the other more BOOMY speakers.

It is a little pricey but the quality is fantastic.
I am a big supporter of Soundcore and Anker. When I received an email that they were launching this product, after having already purchased the Soundcore 3 water proof speaker for my shower, I knew I’d have to get it.I brought it to my father’s 70th surprise party and used this as the speaker for the background music at the restaurant. It’s portable, light weight and easy to carry. However, it sounds like a much larger speaker and the bass is great. High quality and very pleased.Also, the battery life is ridiculous, in a good sense. I charge it once a month and use it every day for 15-20 minutes.

I couldn’t believe that the motion 600 could produce such an amazing sound. The spatial speaker really give an extra kick to your tunes. I new I wouldn’t go wrong when buying from Soundcore since I own 4 pairs of TWS. Plus I am confident that if anything goes wrong with my devices I can count on their customer services which is another great experience I have had.

Holy Wow!! It lives up to the hype!
Granted this is my first Bluetooth device. Nevertheless, I am a musician and huge music listener and have had all kinds of speakers, etc. over the years. It’s bigger than I thought which is not a problem but when I heard the sound, well, I was expecting something great and that’s what I got!! I tested it out with some audio files on my PC first via Bluetooth. Then got in the shower and hooked up the Alexa to it with an audio cable. Wanted to see how that sounded and worked. The Alexa doesn’t get very loud and always seems to have weird panning issues on everything I listen. So wondered if plugging it directly into the Alexa it would do the same thing. Nope!! Sounded absolutely amazing!!!! No panning issues, sounded like it should unlike the Alexa on it’s own. I’ll be having some fun with this thing :))

Wow, really impressed with the sound quality.
I purchased this Soundcore X600 based on the Amazon reviews and its support of the aptX & LDAC codecs and I’m certainly glad I did. Did a quick comparison against my GF’s Bose (older model, not sure which) and we both agreed its clarity and quality surpassed the Bose. Its bigger and heavier but we don’t really care about that. I like to play at low volume levels and it impresses. I use it with a Fiio M6 and tried it with the bluetooth and wired and my ears couldn’t tell the difference so I’m satisfied.

The other reviews are not joking!
The most important thing about any Bluetooth speaker is the sound. I am rather picky with audio quality and most products need some tweaking to meet my standards, and some can’t meet them at all. This unit has very good sound, especially at close range. It turns up pretty loud, too (to fill a room you only need to turn it up to the second or third notch) and does a fine job outside when cranked up sufficiently. Of course the louder you play it, the shorter the battery life.The pairing is easy; just turning it on for the first time activated pairing, and my Pixel phone immediately recognized it without me even having to choose it in the list of devices available to pair. That process prompted me to install the app as well. Very slick.The app is good and has some unexpected nice features (for example, you can play/pause whatever app you’re using to actually play music from the Soundcore app, so you don’t have to keep switching back and forth). It feels more polished than the one LG provides for its XBOOM Bluetooth speakers, for example.The default “Soundcore Signature” equalization curve is good, and shows off the speaker’s capabilities nicely, but you can also tweak the equalizer however you like. When you turn up the treble it’s really there, sounds natural and not tinny or distorted. Same with the bass, which is solid and not boomy. It’s not one of those bass enhancer things that uses psychoacoustic principles to give the impression of more bass; it’s really there and it can rattle the table.As far as i can tell, the EQ and spatialization features are functions of the speaker itself; the app is not doing the audio processing on the phone, just changing the speaker’s features. So once you have the speaker set up the way you want, you could remove the app. Speaking of the spatialization, it’s reasonably effective at close range but if you’re across the room from it, it doesn’t do much, as you might expect. I haven’t tried spatial audio on it, though, just stereo.This product shows a pleasing thoughtfulness and attention to detail all the way around, from build quality to the app to the sound. On Prime Day the price was certainly right and I’m glad I pulled the trigger.

Amazing sound!!!
Not sure why all the negative reviews because this speaker has incredible sound. Yes the bass go down as you raise the volume but it’s still there and it’s clean and tight. Not muddy like JBL speakers. I bought 2 of these (green and blue to match my living room decor) and they sound loud, clear and amazing. I listen mostly to Latin music (salsa, bachata, reggaeton) and this speaker brings out the best in each genre. I can hear every instrument, the vocals and just enough bass to highly enjoy any song. Can’t wait for soundcore to start making TV soundbars.

Amazing for the price!
For the price, can’t go wrong. It has a balanced output. I haven’t played with the soundcore app to change the EQ but so far it’s an amazing speaker that can get pretty loud for my ears. I just play songs from my iPhone and it’s amazing. I keep the spatial and bass on and the default setting is pretty nice to me. But preference is subjective for sure. The spatial feature definitely adds a kick to the audio, a more immersive feel. When you turn it off it sounds flat but when it’s on it’s a diff experience. So I’m keeping that feature on. Build quality is 👌 feels premium and seems I paid $400 for it but I didn’t. Thanks soundcore for an amazing affordable product! Would’ve been cool if the speakers went all around the back too so when people move around the sound is not lost and not just focused on the front facing part. Maybe future iterations 😅

Absolutely wonderful speaker and fantastic customer support
Can’t really go wrong with the x600 by soundcore. There only complaint is a more linear volume control then the very wide step up/down that is between button pushes would’ve appreciated. A software update could easily fix this.The wide soundstage with crisp highs and clear lows are fantastic. Bass is more than adequate and sounds better if left below 6db. Out of the box it sounds better than most anything in its price range, but once the eq is adjusted for your liking.. it’s a great device. It’s on the larger side for a portable, but the handle negates that draw back.. but it’s also small for a bookshelf speaker.. it’s comfortable in the middle. If you can get the x600 for your budget I’d definitely recommend it.

It is bigger than I thought it was going to be (that’s what she said)…. The presentation of the speaker was really neat and then.. and dddeeeennnn… HOLY MOLEY BAT MAN!!! I AM SO IMPRESSED!!! The quality of the sound is amazing. I had the speaker sitting on the couch and was, er, uh, how shall I say, delighted, at the bass that traveled thru the couch cushions. OOO LALA! All jokes aside— the speakers/headphones/radios I own are sony, bose, off brands, and now this one. I have to say, this one is up there with bose.

I am blown away!!
I have been collecting buying selling all kinds of stereo equipment for the last 45 or so years. I have had some great sounding systems and some also pretty good sounding little boxes like this one this is not a paid review. I am just so excited by this product. I really cannot believe how incredible this thing is I mean the spatial sound, and the tight base the imaging somehow they duplicated all of the good audiophile characteristics, and jammed them into this little box, a little bit bigger than a transistor radio now it is not true audiophile sound there’s all kinds of little things done that make it seem that way. That being said, this is a phenomenal sounding box.

Sound quality
Most reviews have said it all. This is a great speaker and the best I’ve ever owned. Don’t understand the negative reviews.Hearing new things from my old music. Not impressed much with music since the 70’s (my son says the 80’s). I don’t claim to be an expert like a lot of the reviewers but I know what I like.Purchased my first one a couple of weeks ago at the discounted price. Just received my 2nd one (renewed) without a blemish a couple of days ago. Feel that people paying full price are still getting a bargain.Movies are awesome with spacial stereo. I’ve never owned a soundbar, so I don’t need the speakers to rattle the windows. I’m probably at less than 40% so there is plenty of room to crank it up if you need that.Buy new or renewed. Don’t think you will be disappointed.

Outstanding for the price, but some things to note…
Bought this to use for ambient sounds for sleeping. Sound quality is beautiful and setup wasn’t too difficult. You do need the app to fine tune the sound and that is necessary depending on the room, the music, and your personal preferences. However there are a few things to consider:1. If using in the bedroom you will need to get LED covers for the top buttons as they are very bright. But it does make a good night light if you need it. It will automatically shut off after a period of time it does not receive a signal. You can set that time via the app.2. The app has 4 brightness adjustment for the buttons! Nice!3. The usb C charging cable is ridiculously short, so save yourself the headache of trying to find a way to charge the device 6-inches from an outlet and purchase a longer cable.4. No charger included and no clear guidance in the instructions on ones that will work. I had an old iPhone 5V/3A USB C charger and checked with Soundcore customer service (which is great) and they confirmed it was safe to use for charging. Used it on a six hour charge via an outlet (not a power strip) and it worked just fine.5. Definitely play with the EQ settings in the app – you can adjust the bass if the surface the speaker is on resonates too much, or just tailor the sound to your ears.6. A 6-hour charge for only 12-hours playing time is a kinda poor, but the sound quality outweighs that issue for me since mine will always be near an outlet.7. Speaking of which, the Soundcore FAQs recommend the speaker NOT be used while charging. This is not in the QTG or additional instructions.8. I understand there are differences in the available spatial sound options in the Android app vs the Apple app. Check to see what the differences are for your device.Are these enough to return it? Heck no! The sound quality is great. The build quality is solid. It totally meets my needs and I have enjoyed listening to all genres of music. It out-performs other speakers I have of a similar price point. Sound wise you certainly get more than you may expect.

Amazing sound!
Soundcore, an Anker company, has kept up the tradition of GREAT quality at a FAIR price. I have two of these and absolutely love the sound. They can be easily paired as left and right channels. I also love that these are USB and not wired. Rumor has it that they may be expanding the line with surround sound speakers.

A beautiful sounding tank
I have a severe brain injury. This is important to note because I sometimes have my hands open up without any sort of control from my brain. I also don’t have any balance, so I sometimes slam into walls and furniture.So, when I was looking for a sound augmenter I wanted something that wouldn’t break the first time my hands opened up or I smacked into a piece of furniture.This thing sounds truly amazing and it has survived my less-than-gentle use.I listen to low frequency sleep music every night and this thing can, if I’m not careful, rattle the walls.And it’s not just great at lower frequencies. Without going outside the presets, I’ve found a lovely reply to whatever I’m doing – watching a movie, catching Drag Den, or playing my favorite symphonic music.It’s not going to replace a five hundred dollar Atmos sound bar. But it uplifts your laptop, tablet, or older TV set.A Best Purchase of 2023

This is best bluetooth speaker I own. The sound is fantastic. It is equally at home playing loud or soft and always has a clean sound. It is also rugged. I was a bonehead and knocked it onto concrete from about 4 ft up and it suffered a few scratches, but was otherwise fine. Definitely recommend it.

The battery last’s longer than I expected. I’m happy with this purchase, I took the chance on this since I purchased Soundcore bluetooth ear buds about 3 months ago on a recommendation from a sales person at Best Buy, I was blown away by them and felt confident to get the bluetooth speaker. I had never heard of Soundcore before.

Great unit….. the speakers sound really good…. surprisingly good for the size. But the battery doesn’t last that long. I haven’t tested it to any scale of precision…. but it seems like the battery life is less than 4 hours. Keep in mind… this is with the bass boost. I’m sure that shortens the battery. Even still, I don’t see that as a big deal. My jaw literally dropped open when I first heard the sound this produces. Good stuff!

The media could not be loaded.
Even If you’re getting this speaker full priced it’s unbelievable. Great for a portable speaker but even Great enough for a home theater set up. Love it, turned around and bought the liberty 3 pros and was surprised again. Build quality is better than my harman kardon speaker and its even louder but get this…its lighter! I personally still love my Harman but this somehow found a way to top that! It was just a random buy because i saw it on sale, pleasantly BLOWN away. Everything works seamlessly and integrated over all the apps and google tv and stuff. Finally found my new favorite speaker tech brand for awhile!

Quality Speaker
I had bought Anker ear buds last year which were excellent for the money so when I was looking and saw this speaker with a $50 coupon and high ratings, I pulled the trigger and ordered it without much thought. Being a musician who usually takes about 3+ months of research to buy any piece of audio equipment, this was a big step for me LOL.All I can say is that this speaker has been great so far. It’s a very cool, clean, modern looking speaker. The construction feels solid and durable and having the handle to carry it around from place to place is more of a plus than I thought it would be. The sound quality is excellent, bass is very good at low to medium volumes but gets lost a bit when you really turn it up (or that could just be my aging ears), and it is loud! I didn’t notice any significant distortion at high volumes and the overall clarity and presence of the individual instruments was very good. I tested a variety of musical genres (jazz, rock, pop, punk, ska, hip hop, rap, classical) and all sounded good to great.The Anker app is great and gives you more flexibility with the EQ settings as well as showing the battery level of the speaker. The voice prompt when you power on/off isn’t obnoxious like some other speakers I’ve heard, it’s just a tone but you can also turn it on and off in the Anker app. Since I already had the app for my earbuds, I just needed to add the speaker to my devices in the app (click of a button) and I was good to go.The battery life seems solid. It does take a while to charge fully (about 6 hours) but from what I read you can charge while using it in a pinch, but you shouldn’t do that all the time or it can cause damage to the battery. I tend to listen at a fairly loud volume most of the time and after listening to music for about 4 hours using the BassUp and Spatial features on, the battery level is still showing as about 60%-65% so I’d expect to get about another 6-8 hours before I have to recharge.In short, I am very happy with the speaker and would definitely recommend it. I am definitely considering getting a second to have stereo pairing.

An excellent product that delivers a wonderful sound
There are many advantages of this product but the biggest is the quality of sound that it produces from such a small design. When you push the button for the base it really sounds great.It has an excellent waterproof rating which I accidentally tested while washing my truck in FL.It’s very easy to set up & the High Fidelity Audio actually makes a difference in the quality of sound it makes. The metal design is very well made without being too heavy.Overall a well designed, quality made & excellent sounding device. I bought it after much research & it’s well worth the money.

Quality construction, excellent sound
Packaging: I’m a sucker for nice packaging and the speaker came in a nifty box with custom-fit foam surround, very nice.Build: clean, solid build, metal and hard metal-like plastic, with easy-to-read lighted touch controls, and touted as water-resistant. The whole build exudes thoughtful design.Setup & Connection: pretty straightforward. Turn on, download the SoundCloud app, toggle on the LDAC code (required a firmware update), connect to phone Bluetooth & select LDAC in the BT connection. Now, this part is a bit more complicated, at least on my phone, but necessary to take advantage of LDAC: open Settings, then Developer Options and toggle on HD Audio & LDAC, select the highest sample rate, bit rate, and Streaming Quality. Viola.Sound: I’ll preface this with a qualifier: I’m not an audiophile, and I have mid-60’s hearing, BUT: I have a set of Sony earbuds that are LDAC-compatible and I subscribe to Amazon Music HD and I LOVE the sound quality of that combination. I wanted it in a BT speaker and boy this thing delivered imo: solid bass, good mids, clear highs, and my unsophisticated ears love the spatial audio. I’ve been listening to my Favorites playlist and wow.FWIW according to my music app, my phone is delivering “hi-res” 24-bit, 96lHz tracks over BT to this speaker at…24-bit, 96kHz. Argue all day, but it SOUNDS marvelousDon’t care that it was a bit pricey, $150 on pre-Black Friday deal was good enough for me.

This Speaker is Totally Satisfying
I have a 7.1 media room at home and use audiophile quality IEMs with a dongle DAC when lounging in bed or when I travel – I absolutely love music. I had never explored owning a portable Bluetooth speaker – I guess I’ve been too old school thinking wired sound is the only way to go. My sons use Bluetooth for everything, so I recently started researching wireless speakers and ran across this X600. Reviews were very positive, so I decided to buy one. I’ve spent a good 10 hours listening to it in less than a week since getting it, and I’ve become a big fan of this speaker, especially at this price point. It provides a level of detail beyond what I’d expect from a smaller portable speaker, it has a fairly open sound stage from the combination of real stereo separation (a must for me) and the spatial speaker, and it creates surprisingly accurate bass – even at very low volume (another must for me). Deeper sub-bass rolls off, but that’s to be expected given the speaker’s compact size. Other reviewers have mentioned this, but the heft and build quality of the speaker is really good. Overall, I’m very impressed and happy to add the X600 as a new option to listen to music – bravo.Okay – a brief update on my review. My wife and I recently went out for dinner and had a couple of margaritas. We came back home and she wanted to listen to some music vs. watch TV, so I thought to pull the X600 out and play it. We did some “digging in the crates” on Qobuz playing some old school music in the family room and I cranked this box up more than I had before. I was really amazed – the sound opened up a lot, it was clear, loud and actually did bounce around the family room – it was plent loud for us at 50% volume. Lastly, I couldn’t believe the bass extension I was getting from a speaker this size. I have to say Bravo again!

Great speakers, really needs battery capacity boost!
Love the sound quality. Nothing beats this at the $50 discount.CONS:1. Battery life/capacity NEEDS a massive upgrade. Currently it works for 10-11 hours on 50-60% volume with BASS + Sound Boost enabled.2. Slightly on the heavier side so not as easy to carry around3. SBS performs much better indoors due to sound bouncing off the walls (tested in a 200 sq. ft. room).4. 50% volume fills the room quite well with SBS5. Hate the rubber flap (not in pictures) at the back, covering USB C/AUX port. It’s added for water proofing but over the years that rubber will get brittle and break off. I would have preferred SoundCore using independent plugs for each port which could be user replaceable.6. Bottom rubber feet could be much larger for better grip, it’s sufficient for now, but even a slight incline 10-20 degrees, and I feel the speaker will fall flat due to rumbling from BASS at higher volumesPROS:1. Great build quality.2. Premium quality materials used3. Got it at a 50$ discount which placed this product as a must buy, the pricing was perfect during black friday sale.4. SBS is a great feature that no other speaker provides at this cost. It seems gimmicky, not truly 3D audio, but it does a great job in filling the room5. BASS on this is ridiculously outstanding. I’m not a huge fan of thumping audio, but I can say that this is quite good.6. Audio doesn’t crackle even at 80-90% volume levels, but it will be tested with times. I doubt I’ll even use it above 30-40% levels.7. 50W speakers, apparently louder than most budget televisions that come with 30-40W speakers inbuilt.Overall, if it’s at a $50+ discount, go with this blindly if battery capacity is not an issues.For me, this is my main speaker for my laptop and is used 12+ hours a day so have to charge daily which is cumbersome. I do not want to keep it perpetually plugged in, may degrade battery.

Great sounding speaker
The design of the Motion X600 is truly beautiful and is reminiscent of some of the high end Bose Speakers. The X600 sports a aluminum front grill and textured handle. The control panel buttons are well placed and further compliment this light weight speaker. They can even be dimmed via the SoundCore App.Of course the true test of a BT speaker is its sound. The Motion X600 has a great balance of bass, mid range, and high frequencies. Updating the firmware was fast and easy. I tried out the spatial surround and was immersed in a beautifully rich and satisfying sound presentation. These features coupled with superb battery life make the Motion X600 a great choice for anyone looking for a new Bluetooth speaker.

The Marvelous, Magnificent Microdot!
I needed these speakers to compensate for the classic conundrum clash, consumers have little choice to choose between the splendidly superb & spectacular 10-bit color as well as the crystal clear clarity (e.g.) the 32″ class Samsung Q60A panel versus its anorexic sound due to contemporary esthetics in addition to the unprecedentedly bizarre clause in our apartment that bars bringing in items unless brought by the owner! which precludes me from having to pass up more appropriate $300-$400 soundbars! Nevertheless, I hope I solved the sound issue scourging modern tellies!Out Of Box ExperienceUpon delivery via one of my siblings On Wednesday 27th December 2023, I was impressed with the brawniness of the boxes as well as the Rubix cube-style, Matryoshka doll challenge exclusively to open it up which began with an outside sleeve which introduced its newly minted owner to the speaker’s attributes in polyglot languages; then came the sleeve separating the two levels of cellophane wrap as well as the foam which looks to be a half-inch thick holding the 2.3′ USB-C to C cable designed to be used with a wall charger, a Safety & 10 page Quick Start pamphlets, @ the top there’s a UPC, the International Environmental & Radio regulationatory agencies this device has to conform to before being approved for sale on the global markets. Finally, at the bottom, a serial number UPC!ConstructionThis Motion X600 consists of a three-part fabrication; a handle & grill forged from aluminum on the front with a color-coordinated plastic posterior available in “Polar Black”, “Lunar Blue” and “Aurora Green”upon visual inspection is difficult to discern where the aluminum metal ends & the plastic begins! Meanwhile, the handle has respectively, “Spatial Harmony” & “High Fidelity Audio” in block font along the bottom left & right ends of the handle as well as “Soundcore” in stylized lettering on the top right. The ridges that aid grip-ability are located in the bottom middle part while the perimeter periphery is smooth. Staying in the back has a unique rubber stop flap which guarantees the X600 its Ingress Protection Level 7 status that enables the speaker can handle H2O from misting & condensation up to an accidential dunk up to a meter for 30 minutes. the rear also conceals a passive radiator, linked to the Midrange “Sky Driver” but helps the system sound better via Digital Sound Processing, a USB-C port as well as a 1/8″ auxiliary jack.Driver ConfigurationThe Anker Soundcore Motion X600 Speaker System is a 3-way, quintuple driver powered by 5 amplifiers producing 10-watt RMS for a total of 50 watts RMS configured as twin 2.06″ woofers, duo 1.06″ tweeters & a unique 1.92″ passive radiator augmented midrange “Sky Driver” Spatial Driver is controlled by a 12 core Intel i7 12700K processor clocked from 3.6-5.0 GHz, ohm: N/A, Frequency Response: 48-40,000Hz+- 2.84dB, Horizontal Dispersion, 5.49dB, Signal to Noise Ratio: 72dB, Total Harmonic Distortion: <1%, Sensitivity, 92.1dB, Crossover: 54Hz, 2,500 Hz & 19,100Hz, Battery, SW-34MP2S2P; 6400mAh Dimensions: 6.25" High x 11.75" Wide x 3.88" deep, Weight: 5.17lbs.I charged my first Motion X600 with a 45watt Samsung wall charger connected to a 100watt Anker cable taking 4.5 hours to charge while the 2nd X600 was charged using an Anker 30watt wall charger with a second 100watt cable connected to two of the 8 electrical outlets which was done in 5 hours.When both speakers completed their compulsory charging session, on Thursday, December 28th, 2023, most of the scribes advised switching on both the Spatial Audio & Bass Buttons to mitigate its mettle as well as promote the prowess of the Motion X600 otherwise owners would likely feel the engineering savants were snookering them impacting future sales.Eargasmic Ecstasy!That began when I decided to play my 450-song Latino 🎄Carols playlist on YouTube Music designed to tide me over a 13-hour journey from Gastonia, North Carolina to Philadelphia! Once I activated, the 15-segment equalizer, the Spatial & Bass buttons It was 😱WOW!!!, WOW SQUARED!!!!!!, WOW CUBED!!!!!!!!!! 😲 It was as if I heard the music for the first time! for it sent chills through my body to not just the 🦴s but the bone marrow! Which is exactly how good the X600s are! Sibling #6 was as duly impressed with the speakers as he was with my Q60A panel when was deployed 21 months ago! for he considers them Home Theater caliber!This was confirmed on Three Kings Day/Epiphany; January 6, 2024, when after still trying to use the Soundcore app to no avail, it was not only severing The True Wireless Stereo bond but replaced the X600 pairing with the generic LG driver on the TV which necessitated a speaker reset so in despair, I watched "Terminator; Judgment Day" & realized how good the X600 sounded as normal solitary speakers when I could readily discern where the various soundtrack aspects occurred via the individual speaker drivers! Once I reset the speaker it started at maximum volume which almost got us reported by the next-door neighbors for bringing the noise! After a successful reset, and recharge (for 7 & 8 hours) which for an idiosyncratic orientation, included playing the YouTube playlist, I watched & thoroughly enjoyed the lush, vigorously robust soundtrack of "Wonder Woman 1984" & Quite honestly, What I heard through my 👂holes brought me back to when I had my last CRT, The NEC 2030S & my first LCD panel, the Samsung LN-T1954 when TVs had enough space to include decent stereo sound to match their displays!The Soundcore AppIt's an authentic atrocity that this program is oriented toward audio music when the Motion X600 itself can adapt itself to Audio/Video Home Theater & worse yet when I called Anker Innovations Tech Support on January 2nd, they confirmed its bias toward record collections because every time I endeavor to utilize its features, it shut down the TRUE WIRELESS STEREO facet which is the reason why I strived to save the >$200 more to score the second speaker! which rendered the other speaker as mute as a mime, furthermore, the app caused more agita by making it more problematic to pair with my Samsung Q60A panel! I sincerely wish and desire that this Cucaracha is finally fumigated from future updates ASAP! STAT! In addition from December 28th, 2023, when I first tried to establish a legitimate Soundcore Account it wouldn’t recognize it even though I followed the procedure precisely to the letter!ConclusionI’m happy that the operation of these Anker Soundcore Motion X600 speaker systems isn’t dependent upon this program because they sound incredibly amazing, augmented by its uniquely innovative design & technologies both external & internal, its configuration and price. And the President Grant-sized discount on top makes it even more of a steal of a deal!Addendum: Monday 12 February, 2024One of my pet peeves with my pair is that I had to sync it with the YouTube Music account before working successfully with my panel; for the past month after subsequent charging sessions, that weirdness has vanished. Both speakers hook up normally, provided that the owner/operator powers them in the proper sequenceAlso, I acquired the 45-watt Anker 313 wall charger for the 2nd speaker to have them fully charged & ready at the same time enhancing my satisfaction with these speakers.

Impressive!
WOW! This is by far one of the best if not the best bluetooth speakers on the market. Clean and crispy highs, deep and full sounding bass, and a perfect balance of everything in between. Great for music and watching movies on the go.The construction of it is high quality and premium feeling. Everything is metal and the soft touch rubber feels quality. Buttons have a nice tactile feedback, it also has a nice hefty weight to it.The five drivers used to create the spatial audio are flawless. When played even at reasonable levels this does not fail to completely surround you in all the layers of music, and wow this thing gets LOUD. Even at 50% volume its just loud enough.App functionality is basic, but it does enough. I like the ability to turn it off right from the app. I also like the ability to save custom EQs.I’ve charged it maybe once since having it and I use it quite a bit. Takes awhile to charge, but thats expected with such a big battery and for it being as large as it is its pretty quick. Although I do wish it came with a longer cord.I’ve been a loyal customer to Soundcore for a long time, and this one will definitely keep me loyal for even longer.

Very pleased with this purchase!
Clean sound, good bass – IF you adjust it correctly. Get the Soundcore app and do a manual EQ. There are some maps out there on the web for the best set up (I can’t remember where I found the one I am using, but I even tweaked that one a slight bit). This thing really is a good value. I enjoy listening to this. Also, I watched the UTube vids by Alan Ross. My experience is very different than his. I don’t want a BOOMING, ghetto bass in my music. I want a good, growling, good depth of range that can get punchy when the source presents it as such. I totally get that from the x600. I hate muddy bass! and I don’t get it from the x600. A couple of tuning points: 1. Where you place the x600 will effect the sound quality. It still sounds good in the middle of an open room, but sounds better closer to a wall. 2. Make sure to manually tweak the settings via the soundcore app. 3. I only play lossless audio (Flac) through my x600. MP3 can greatly vary in audio quality. I have a fine home audio system that I truly love, but I find myself pulling out the x600 and listening to it more and more. Is it as good as my home audio system? NO! But, it’s really enjoyable listening to and I can take it from room to room or out in the garage. The sound is clean, wide, and has a satisfactory bass (more studio style, non-overamped). If you are looking for ghetto bass, you’ll be disappointed. I’m tempted to get another x600 so that I can use in stereo sync mode. Also, this is a great TV sound bar if your TV has BT capabilities. Movies sound great through it! I use it on my bedroom TV that isn’t connected to the home audio system.

Perfect for me
I never write reviews but I’m so happy with this speaker. Speakers are one of those things where there’s just so many different kinds and it can be overwhelming. Also, you’ll see all these reviews and one person will love it and another will say it’s crap. Just gets confusing.I ultimately landed on this one because I never really found anyone saying anything too negative about it. In addition I use the speaker in the house 98% of the time so didn’t need anything to rugged. I do like the option of it being portable. The speaker sounds amazing as expected, far better than my 8 years old riva turbo x. My favorite thing about it is it’s just so simple. Just a super solid, all around speaker that can get very loud as well. Love it.

Would not buy it at $200
For the price I bought it at, $150, it is definitely worth it. It is a good speaker, sounds great especially when you play around with the in-app EQ and the surround sound feature. Definitely recommend getting this speaker whenever it is on sale.

Excellent Speaker!
Delivers excellent sound for this price and form factor. This isn’t a typical sounding speaker. Going into higher-end speakers, definitely competes with the Bose’s and others along this price range.

I have only positive to say about this item.
I wish I had gotten this sooner. I have 3 sound bars in my house attached to my televisions, so I know good sound. This item pairs so easily with any of my phones and has the best sound ever. The fact that is is so easy to take with you is awesome. I just love it and would definitely buy another.

This is by far the best-sounding portable speaker for the money
I am an avid audiophile and have been making high-performance loudspeakers for more than 50 years. I paid my way through college at Caltech designing and manufacturing loudspeakers, and have continued the hobby even today. I am very critical and have tried many, MANY Bluetooth speakers, from Sonos, from KEF, from B&W and others costing MUCH more than this speaker. I love this speaker the most. The portability is great, the bass is great, the stereo separation is fantastic, the imaging is great, the high frequencies are great, and even the usability – ease of use and connectivity is great. I can’t say enough great things about this awesome product, and for the money, it’s astounding.

Great sound, but
This product has great sound and I really enjoy it but the charging cord that it comes with does not have a USB in to plug-in to charge. I had to go by an extension in order to charge it so if you want to get this please be aware you have to have an extension in order to charge it you would think for the price of this product. They would have a cord that you could charge your Speaker immediately

Short Lifespan…but wait , All is good!
I have a component stereo system that I have used for years, including streamer for Qobuz. I purchased a X600 to be able to listen to streaming music when not in main listening room and outside. A few weeks ago I was struck by a car and suffered a broken leg. Unable to ambulate, I could not operate my main stereo system. Enter the X600. I connected it my Bluesound Node 2i streamer which worked great. It will suffice until I’m able to get back on my feet. The second time I charged the X600 all lights were lit on the speaker. The power light which should be “blue” indicating that speaker was 100% charged remained “red”. I tried to reset the speaker per Soundcore directions, no go. Would not connect to Bluetooth either. Very disappointed that in less than 3 months unit was defective. I called technical support who, under warranty, are replacing the speaker after they were satisfied that all steps to fix had been exhausted. Not a good experience! UPDATE: A manager from Soundcore emailed me and indicated they would replace the X600. In two days I received the speaker and was back to enjoying my streaming music.

Started out good…
Nice sound, then it started clipping. Not so good after that.
