Our Verdict

Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Plus

Anker Soundcore Boom 2 Plus

The Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Plus and the Anker Soundcore Boom 2 Plus are similar boombox-style speakers, with slightly different strengths. The Motion Boom Plus is more portable and better built, though both speakers have an IPX7 rating. However, the Motion Boom Plus also has some rudimentary voice assistant capabilities. When it comes to sound, both speakers are capable of bringing the bass via the 'BassUp' button, but the Motion Boom Plus can get a bit louder and has better directivity. The Boom 2 Plus compresses much less at max volume, though, and its battery lasts a few hours longer off a single charge.
