If you need a speaker for a vehicle that has no car radio, you'll need at least a 30w speaker that can hold its own bass wise, as vehicle interior size is small, and roadnoise quite often drown out the bass of smaller sized speakers.
Initially I had purchased the JBL Extreme 3 speaker, which undeniably sounds much better than this speaker out of the box.
However, this speaker has 3 redeeming qualities that made it my preferred device, and 2 additional features that surprised me.
1- most importantly is price. At half the price, and me using the xtreme 3 at work, the repeating question on my mind was "what if this speaker gets stolen, or breaks? Can I really afford to lose a $180-250 speaker like this?". Hence I started looking around for cheaper alternatives, and stumbled on this soundcore anker boom, which has about the same dimensions as the jbl xtreme 3 (fitting perfectly in the dash cubby holder of my company's Mercedes sprinter van).
2- Both the jbl extreme, and the soundcore anker motion boom produce sufficient volume, bass, mids and treble to be used in a car or portable speaker for house parties. I'm probably not convinced they will do for outside (yard) parties by themselves, but that's what surprised me about the motion boom: it has a button to pair it with more speakers, like JBL party mode! Meaning, you can connect 2 speakers together on one device. I didn't know that feature existed on the boom too (it does exist on the boom plus).
3- out of the box, I was a bit disappointed by the boom's sound quality. And while it was easy to add bass with the bass button, soundcore's speaker has an app, that allows me to adjust the eq quite nicely. All of a sudden the boom sound quality was nearing the jbl xtreme 3! I got about 90-98% of the sound quality, for half to 1/3rd the price!
4- The JBL Xtreme 3 has a rated battery life of about 14 hours, but after 8 hours at moderately louder volumes (75%), the battery indicator was at about 1/3rd, indicating me there's less than 12 hours of music, and less each time the battery degrades. The motion boom has a rated battery life closer to 24 hours, but my experience playing at louder volumes is closer to 14 to 18hours, which can span 2 or 3 workdays. Another win for the boom!
It's amazing that the boom can be relatively loud (75% volume), and my 5v 1A usb charger can keep up with the charge, meaning, on average this 30W speaker only uses about 5W of continuous power, and closer to 10W continuous at close to max volume.
Conclusion:
The sound quality was nearing the jbl xtreme 3, and volume wise the boom was actually louder, at nearly 1/3rd the price, and I was able to make the boom less sharp sounding than the xtreme thanks to the built in eq of the app, as well as adjust my sound for different music styles, and save the presets, something jbl doesn't offer in their app.
The cheaper price also is less of a loss in case stolen or broken, and the battery life of the boom was better, sounding better in the higher frequencies when playing back lower bitrate (<144kbits) of mp3 files.
The boom like most Bluetooth speakers, doesn't play compressed audio natively, so you'll need an intelligent device, like a phone or laptop to hear any sound.

Should You Buy? Anker Soundcore Motion+ Waterproof Speaker
Should You Buy?
This tiny speaker has been such a joy to listen to music with. For context, I am by no means an audiophile, but love listening to music loudly and with a lot of bass. I listen on Spotify, YouTube, and occasionally Apple Music. Here is a detailed review from an avid music listener:Sound quality:This speaker is so crisp and clear it is unbelievable. Even at max volume it doesn’t clip or distort unless the mix on the song is off. The bass is incredible, pretty much the main reason I bought it, for that BOOM. Since the speaker uses 2 passive radiators, to really feel the bass you need to place the speaker by a wall or in the corner of two walls so the sound can bounce off them. It is actually insane how powerful the bass gets when you do that. You can feel parts of your body as well as the floor vibrating. One thing to note, there is a “bass “ button on the speaker and it definitely improves the bass, but look on to the next paragraph to make the bass even better.Out of the box, the speaker doesn’t sound as good as it could. This is because the equalizer has not been adjusted, so the sound signature is pretty flat. If you’re into that then great, but if not you can download the soundcore app and tweak the sound to your liking. In the picture I posted you can find my EQ, and boy does it make the sound louder, the bass bigger, and the songs overall more vibrant and bouncy. I listen to a lot of hip hop, so the bass and low end sounds great with that genre. But I also listen to a lot of indie and folklore, and the highs sound equally nice. Also, for EDM, this speaker is spectacular. The synths are bright and poppy, the drums are commanding and hard hitting, and the singer’s voice sounds great, not muffled or overpowered by the other aspects of the song. (And if they are, you can change the EQ) You can also power off your speaker from your phone app, which is pretty cool.Portability:The speaker is relatively easy to carry around. It has a rubberized handle and is only a couple pounds. I like to put it in my backpack when walking around or hanging out outside. It is waterproof too I believe, so you could get it wet, but I wouldn’t recommend submerging it in the pool because you never really know how waterproof it is until that happens. It is pretty tough too, but it has a hard plastic exterior so it might crack if dropped multiple times. But from my experience with it it’s super tough but easy to carry.Other aspects:The price is completely justifiable, sitting at around $100. It is by far the loudest and clearest speaker you will find in that price range, and can probably compete with $200-300 speakers as well. Battery life is amazing. I can go a whole week, hours a day, at half-volume, listening to music without charging it. And because it’s USB C I can use my Mac or iPad charger to charge it. Bluetooth connectivity is pretty much flawless; I usually connect it to my iPhone, iPad or Mac, and rarely experience a pause or interruption unless I walk very far from the speaker. (Probably 50 feet no walls, or 30 feet with some walls if I had to guess). The only issue I see with this speaker is that it lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack. This could be problematic if your device doesn’t have Bluetooth, but thankfully everything I need to connect the speaker to has Bluetooth. ALSO, forgot to mention that I also watch a lot of YouTube vids with the speaker and there is almost no latency. This means the voices sync up great with characters in the shows you watch, and everything works perfectly for other means of media besides music.Final thoughts:As I said before, I love listening to music out loud, and with a lot of bass. Not just punchy artificial bass, but bass you can feel; deep booming bass. This speaker has that. I literally bought this speaker to replace a full sound system with dual tweeters and dedicated sub because this speaker is more convenient and sounds pretty comparable to the sound system with the right EQ. Obviously it won’t be able to replace the bass from a good subwoofer, but it is more than enough for me and the clarity is actually better than the sound system I replaced. (It is an old altec Lansing system for reference). If you are looking for a more enjoyable listening experience, for basically any genre of music, OR if you are looking to enhance your TV’s sound system (assuming it has Bluetooth), then this is absolutely the speaker for you. The soundcore motion boom makes listening to music more enjoyable and ultimately I’m so glad I bought it. Do yourself a favor and pull the trigger on this one, I really have no complaints about it besides no 3.5mm aux, but it is truly a gem.
