Soundcore Motion X600 by Anker Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Hi-Res Spatial Audio with Wireless 50W Sound, IPX7 Waterproof, Pro EQ, AUX-in, Portable Speaker for Home, Office, Backyard and Bathroom Use

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.

I got the Soundcore Motion X600 for $150, at the time there was a $50 off coupon which they seem to do occasionally.I am not crazy deep into audiophile stuff but I enjoy good sound quality. I own several pairs of Sennheiser headphones and the quality of the Soundcore seems comparable to the best of them in my opinion, of course it is a speaker not a headphone. One of the reasons I got this was so my wife would have a speaker to play stuff through and I wouldn't have to listen to a tinny iPhone speaker struggling for dear life.I thought the spatial audio thing was a gimmick but it's like some sort of magic. You have to hear this speaker in person to believe it. Online video reviews don't do it justice.Music is balanced and crisp. Listening to a podcast is like the host is right in the room with you talking. It's amazing.Other pros include having an AUX input for redundancy and better quality than Bluetooth (although even on Bluetooth this speaker sounds great). I like that it's waterproof so I can take it outside or keep it around when doing home renovation projects and not worry about my speaker. Battery life is great, and in my experience I get more than the stated 12 hours, which may be due to some of my use being at a low volume (playing instrumental music on my desk during the work day).This speaker looks sleek too! Very pleased with my purchase after using it the past two months and hoping it continues to last.

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!
