I've only had this thing for about a day and I'm super satisfied with it. While I haven't owned it long enough to say much about battery life, I can say I'm certain the battery would last all day at around 50% volume. The build quality is great and I'm sure it'd survive a few drops here and there too. It's sound quality is also great, super crisp and detailed. Make sure to create a decent EQ setting to get the most out of this thing. Default sound out of the box is alright, and honestly would be passable, but once you hear the difference with a decent custom EQ, you will only want to use a custom setting. As of writing this review I purchased it for $55, which I think is a steal for what you get, so pick one up while you can if you're looking for a portable, great sounding, loud, good looking, and durable speaker! Even at the normal price this speaker is worth the money!

I have owned a LOT of cool, well reviewed Bluetooth speakers. These were a thoroughly researched upgrade from a pair of TriBit Stormbox Micro 1.0, which sounded very good and were more portable but ultimately not powerful (loud enough) for my usage plan. These 300’s are PERFECT for my specific needs, recognizing that there are bigger/better Bluetooth speakers on the market. I also think if you can snare them @$65 you’re getting an excellent value.PLEASE NOTE: I am raving about using 2 at the same time to create a portable stereo sound field. If you want just 1 portable/personal, potentially wearable Bluetooth speaker, you might want something else. The TriBit Micro 2.0 maybe, or a UE Boom series.For me these are perfect because, while each is heavy ish (solidly built), the pair is small enough and not too heavy for me to throw in a backpack. There are bigger more powerful portable speakers but I decided these were the biggest I could realistically fit in a backpack (with my other stuff) and carry as a pair.Making the extra effort to carry 2 and create a stereo sound field is, for me, the difference between a shitty one speaker AM radio and a pretty decent car stereo set up.The bass won’t send shockwaves thru your body and I can imagine wanting more volume, but when these are paired up they create a very good, clear sounding, balanced soundstage providing adequate volume for good sized wide open outdoor spaces. Personally, full volume is just a tad too much for my needs.Highly recommended. Make sure to upgrade the speaker’s firmware with the free Soundcore app.

Sound is great, easy pairing and charging. Perfect for the beach. It is a bit bigger and heavier than I was expecting

Having owned and loved a Soundcore Motion X600 when it came time to look for a more portable speaker option I took another look at Soundcore's speaker lineup. The Motion X500 did not for me accomplish enough of a size decrease. Next in line was this Motion 300. I love the high end look of the speaker(seems possibly inspired by a much more expensive brand). The price was in the midrange of the budget I had in mind, and the feature set on paper seemed very appealing, especially the auto orientation functionality that enables the speaker to change its sound based on how you position the speaker. Now after having this speaker about a week I can say I that I'm very happy with it. For it's size and price it produces very high quality sound(which can be further tuned to your own particular desire with the 9 band equalizer in the app). It's not exactly light for it's size but the weight adds to the more premium feel. It connects flawlessly in both the LDAC and SBC Bluetooth settings. The battery life has been outstanding for me personally, lasting every bit of 12+ hours on a single charge. Honestly I'm thinking of getting a second one for TWS mode, I couldn't be happier.

We were replacing an older, cheap Doss Bluetooth speaker that we loved, but it’s battery had seen better days and was having problems holding a charge. We actually purchased another Doss of the same model, but they must have changed some of the internals because the new Doss sounded like it was stuffed in a pillow. It went right back! We purchased a Bose SoundLink Flex which was comparable in size to our old speaker. The Bose had phenomenal volume and bass for the size, but sounded flat on top end to me. The Bose also reproduced sound in mono. I didn’t think that would be a big deal with the small size, but perhaps I was wrong. I don’t know if it was the lack of high end, the mono sound, or a mix of the two, but I couldn’t stand the sound from the Bose, and it had to go back. Now back in the market for another Bluetooth speaker, I knew I wanted something comparable in size to the Bose and our old speaker, but that had the capability to customize the sound and broadcast in stereo. This speaker fit the bill. Comparing this speaker side by side to the Bose, the Bose has a slight advantage to my ears in terms of raw volume and bass. If I didn’t have them side by side however, I don’t think I would ever notice. Both were clearly better than our old speaker. No side by side was needed for that. After downloading the SoundLink app, customizing the sound to my liking was very simple. I was able to crank the high end where I couldn’t on the Bose. I was able to hear those cymbals and screaming guitar solo in rock music like you should in person. I can hear the high registers on violins and flutes in classical music like you should. I’m sure audiophiles will scoff at me, but I like to hear music the way I like to hear it. This speaker let me do just that. The “BassUp” feature in my opinion is just kind of a gimmick. From what I can tell, all it does is pull down the highs. Again, this speaker has a equalizer on the app to adjust everything the way you want anyway. Placing the speaker in a corner or right in front of a wall gives more felt bass in my experience. The battery makes it at high volume for an entire evening’s campfire, so that works for me. I’m sure it would make an 8-10 hour day at a reasonable volume. The exterior felt more high end on the Bose, but this speaker is not bad at all. Both feel much more luxurious than our old Doss. It is noticeably heavier than our old speaker and the Bose if that matters to you. That being said, none of them feel like you are carrying a lead bar. The sound that comes from all speakers this size and weight absolutely amazes me! The slim shape makes it really easy to slip in a big pocket or bag or just carry. The build feels very solid all around. I haven’t dropped it yet, but if it’s anything like our old speaker, I am sure it would survive all but the worst falls. I’ve had no problem with Bluetooth connectivity, and it is quick to connect. At this point, I have no real complaints in sound or functionality. I think we found a keeper.
