Our Verdict
JBL Flip 5
Anker Soundcore Motion Boom
The Anker Soundcore Motion Boom is a better speaker than the JBL Flip 5. With BassUp on, the Anker can produce a more extended low-bass than the JBL and can also get louder with less compression present at max volume. You can also customize its sound profile to your liking thanks to the graphic EQ and presets in its Soundcore app, and it has an incredible battery life of almost 40 hours, though this can vary depending on your usage. However, the JBL is smaller and more portable than the Anker. It offers a wider-sounding soundstage and can pair with multiple PartyBoost-compatible JBL speakers at once.
