Our Verdict
Anker Soundcore Motion+
Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 3
The Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 3 is a slightly better speaker than the Anker Soundcore Motion+ overall. The Ultimate Ears has an amazingly wide and spacious-sounding soundstage, thanks to its 360-degree design. It's also better built with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, though we don't currently test for this. That said, the Anker has a better-balanced sound profile with its BassUp feature enabled and can produce deeper bass than the Ultimate Ears. It also supports voice assistants through your smartphone, though its performance isn't very good.
