Our Verdict

Anker Soundcore Motion+

TREBLAB HD-Max

The Anker Soundcore Motion+ is more versatile than the TREBLAB HD-Max overall. The Anker is smaller and lighter, making it more portable. It can produce a more extended low-bass than the TREBLAB, and offers a wider-sounding soundstage. It also comes with a  companion app that features a graphic EQ and presets to customize its sound to your liking. It supports voice assistants through your smartphone too, though its performance isn't very good. That said, the TREBLAB offers a longer-lasting battery life of over 22 hours, making it better for multiple long listening sessions. You can use its USB output to use the speaker as a power bank to charge your devices. It also comes with a removable carrying strap with a built-in bottle opener which is handy when enjoying music and drinks with friends.
