Our Verdict
Bose SoundLink Revolve
Anker Soundcore Motion+
Depending on your preferences, you may prefer either the Bose SoundLink Revolve or the Anker Soundcore Motion+. The Bose offers better voice assistant support, since it does a better job understanding you from far and in noisy settings. It also has better directivity thanks to its 360-degree design, so your audio sounds clear from most angles. That said, the Anker can play stereo content without downmixing it to mono which is more immersive. It can also get louder, and is more customizable thanks to the graphic EQ and presets featured in its companion app.
