The Anker Soundcore Motion 300 is now $55.99 (down from $79.99), making it an affordable option for anyone looking for a portable speaker with decent sound and durability. It delivers 30 watts of power through dual full-range drivers and passive radiators, with a frequency range of 65Hz to 40kHz, meaning it can handle most genres without distortion at higher volumes.

Stereo setup technically exists, but the proximity of the drivers means you won’t get much separation—pairing two units wirelessly is the better way to achieve a more spacious soundstage. That said, the Motion 300 supports LDAC, which allows for higher-resolution audio streaming. Realistically, though, you won’t be hearing the intricate details of hi-res tracks on a speaker this size. Still, the inclusion of LDAC and AAC support alongside SBC is a nice perk for both Android and iPhone users.

The bass response of the Motion 300 is decent for its size, but its BassUp feature is reportedly a bit hit or miss. Tracks can sound fuller with it on, but some lose brightness, and it doesn’t do much for true sub-bass depth, notes this PCMag review. The four EQ presets—Soundcore Signature, Xtra Bass, Voice, and Balanced—give you some flexibility over the sound, and you can fine-tune further with the custom nine-band EQ via its companion app. The estimated 13-hour battery life of this speaker is respectable but will depend on your volume and codec settings. With an IPX7 waterproof rating, this speaker can handle rain, splashes, or even brief submersion.
