soundcore Motion X500 Bluetooth Speaker, Portable Speaker with Immersive Spatial Audio, Wireless Hi-Res Sound with 3X Detail, 3-Channel Audio and an Upward Firing Driver with Ambient Light

I’m a happy owner of the Motion Boom Plus, and the Motion X600, as well as a few JBLs. I really did wonder if I needed this smaller X500. When the price fell to £84.99 though, the temptation proved too much!! I’ve waited a few weeks before reviewing it, and I have to say, this could be the most perfect all-round speaker. I seem to use it more than the others, it’s not too big, but still has a satisfying heft, and that elegant handle makes it such a useable unit. Yes it’s narrower than the X600, but it’s taller, and this seems to add to its useabilty.And of course the most important part is the sound! Fortunately , the X500 has excellent sound - it has enough meaty bass, with a lot of mid range clarity and open detail. The excellent soundcore app enables all the tweaking you need via the equaliser, and there are also three preset adjustments to choose from too. I leave mine in spatial dynamic all the time, for my ears, it’s the perfect balance. I’ve not needed to push the volume past 60%, and indoors, that is very loud!!Selecting the LDAC option makes a positive difference too. Battery life is excellent (i haven’t charged it yet!), and the build quality is just glorious. Like its larger sibling, the X500 is also a gorgeous looking speaker, so elegant and classy.The criticism in some so called serious reviews, seems to focus on the Spatial Audio claims from Soundcore. Ok, the X500 (and X600 too) may not offer Spatial Audio in the true sense of the word. But that upward firing speaker makes an undeniable difference to the listening experience. There is a button to switch it off, but why would you?! Leave it on, select spatial dynamic, and just enjoy the speaker! And the subtle lighting adjustments for this upward firing driver is yet another happy extra.Let me summarise the negatives. No aux-in. That’s it.Now let me summarise the good points - gorgeous looks, excellent build quality, great design and size with really useful handle, fabulous sound quality at all volumes, that glowing upward firing driver, 11-12 hours battery life, LDAC option, elegantly backlit buttons, I’m sure I could find more. And remember this is currently priced at £85…! Fantastic value. Unbeatable I’d say.

The moment this arrived I was super excited to open the box. It was a fair weight which surprised me.It was super easy to pair as I had already downloaded the app with the headphones I'd purchased the week earlier. This also saved time as I didn't need to do the app installation before using it. A firmware update was required but this was very quick.It already came with 50% battery so just need to top it upIt has 3 settings on the equaliser, but you can also create your own. Max bass and less treble for me. And as if that wasn't enough, you can set the light colours for the equaliser. Well then I am in my element. 4 different shades of pink ;-)Going through the settings you can even set the brightness of the light on the top sraker. Off, Low, Medium and High. In daylight it will be low, but night time I will make it HighMy only downside was the cable was type C to type C which makes little sense. BUT I do have like 5 USB to type C cables so no Biggy.Now add it to your basket, you won't be disappointed.

Great for music on the kitchen, sounds amazing, look nice!

I've only had it a few hours but my first impressions are good.Nicely packaged, feels weighty, solid and premium.Connected instantly, good common sense app, updated to LDAC in a few seconds.Most importantly for such a compact unit, it sounds great. Bass is there but not overpowering. The third "spatial" driver really improves the soundstage.Obviously I can't speak for battery life just yet.When I bought it the price was £79.99, excellent value.

I love these speaker and I ordered two speakers for tws. And with TWS both speaker create surround system like theatre. But after 2 days later tws feature not working properly one speaker automatically disconnected and have to connect again. I tried all troubleshooting as per Anker AI, but issue is still there. Which spoil my mood. That’s why i am giving four stars and otherwise these speakers deserve 5 star rating. Might be my unit have some issue but can’t take risk. So will return these. Thankfully we have Amazon return policy.

seriously amazing value from one of the best bluetooth speaker companys around - it feels heavy to reflect the build quality - it sounds amazing - just brilliant - some dont have a charger but phone c 2 c cable will do it...

Just love the thick bass feel that comes off the speaker.Love anker soundcore speakers and the quality of sound is amazing. Beautiful to look at and seems quite durable.The battery life at the moment lasts quite a bit although would love for it to last longer but for me I play music quite regularly I would say about 11 - 12 hours.Definitely recommend

This speaker is amazing. It looks and sounds like a speaker 3x the price. It's also robust and portable.I use this speaker more than I use my Bose headphones, it sounds that good. The app is easy to use and has lots if flexibility. It's Soundcore for me from now no!

Kurzfassung: Für mich war es entweder der Soundcore oder JBL Charge 5. Bin froh dass ich mir den Soundcore geholt habe!Bisschen Detaillierter:Pro Soundcore:-Sehr schönes Klangbild (Sehr voll und klar)- Überzeugt vorallem auf „niedrigeren“ Lautstärken bis (schätzungsweise) 70-80db.-Schönes und schlichtes Design (Natürlich Geschmack des Betrachters)-LED Beleuchtung der Tasten und des oberen Treibers sind einstellbar (Aus, Schwach, Mittel und Stark) ebenso die Farbe der LED.-Gute Verarbeitung des Gehäuses-Sehr gute Soundcore App mit vielen Einstellungsmöglichkeiten-Kein bis wirklich minimales Rauschen im Lautsprecher. (Hört Mann nur wenn keine Musik spielt, mindert also absolut nicht das Klangbild)-Verdammt Robust-Spielt auch Musik beim Aufladen-Wenn das Handy welches die Musik spielt zu weit weg ist (Ca. 10 Meter mit einer Wand dazwischen) Stoppt die Wiedergabe. ABER sobald das Gerät wieder in Reichweite ist verbindet es sich Automatisch erneut und Spielt einfach weiter ohne einen Finger zu krümmen oder erneut Bluetooth zu aktivieren zu müssen.„Cons:“Der Soundcore hat kaum Schwächen *ausser* dass sich der Bass ab ca. 85db anfängt selber hörbar runter zu regeln (was nach meiner Erfahrung bei allen Lautsprechern so ist). Bedeutet aber nicht dass er vollends verschwindet.Bedeutet wer Lieder mit extrem viel Bass spielen möchte, tut dies entweder auf unter 80db oder mit einem anderen Lautsprecher. Für den Normalen gebraucht klingt er aber immernoch auch in höheren Tonlagen Spitze.Sachen zum Pingeln:-Rückseite ist gummiert, ebenso die Oberseite. Bedeutet fettige Finger werden dort ein paar Flecken überlassen, lässt sich aber wirklich einfach wegwischen. (ggf. mit dem Ärmel etc.)-Kein AUX Anschluss, Bedeutet purer Bluetooth Lautsprecher-kann nicht als Powerbank benutzt werden für unterwegs (wie z.B. die Charge 5 kann)Fazit:Wer mehr Wert auf Bass UND Lautstärke zugleich legt sollte eventuell weiter gucken.Wer aber nach einem Klaren und kraftvollen Lautsprecher sucht der nicht die Nachbarn 2 Häuser weiter mithören lassen muss ist mit dem Motion X500 mehr als Bedient!Habe den Lautsprecher für ca 97€ im Angebot Gekauft und habe es nicht eine Sekunde Bereut.Die 5 Sterne sind verdient. Hätte durch den Bass Faktor eher zwischen 4 und 5 gestanden. Aber alleine die Verpackung in der der Motion X500 geliefert wird ist schonwieder ein Ausgleich dessen. (Das Bass Problem ist wirklich nur Minimal)Eine Wirkliche Kaufempfehlung meinerseits. Soundcore verdient mehr Aufmerksamkeit auf dem Markt!PS: Mit Spacial Audio eignet er sich auch Bestens als Soundbar für den Fernseher, notfalls kann man auch 2 X500 miteinander Verbinden und als Stereo Nutzen.Alles in allem: Super Teil!

Bra ljud till vettigt pris

Cette enceinte est très belle niveau esthétique fabrication de qualité très bonne finition qualité des matériaux niveau qualité son cette enceinte est très bonne je pourrais dire même équivalente à certaines marques beaucoup plus cher comme Bose JBL et j'en passe vous pouvez l'acheter les yeux fermés

This is a superlative speaker. The sound is crisp and clear and the bass is rich. There is no distortion even on very high volume. Convenient to carry and it looks good on the shelf in any room.

Se oye muy bien, batería mejorable
