Our Verdict
Bose SoundLink Micro
Anker Soundcore Motion+
The Anker Soundcore Motion+ is a better speaker than the Bose SoundLink Micro overall. The Anker can produce a more extended low-bass, and you can tweak its sound to your liking thanks to the graphic EQ and presets featured in its companion app. It can also get significantly louder and can play stereo content without downmixing it to mono. That said, the Bose has better directivity, resulting in a more open-sounding soundstage.
