Hopefully the EPICBOOM can live up to Ultimate Ears’ reputation for solid sound-quality in a rugged package. The portable/rugged bluetooth speaker segment is by now rather crowded, with plenty of competition from more feature-rich models from JBL, Marshall, Sonos, Sony and even newcomers like Anker Soundcore. The battery is rated for 17 hours, which is adequate but not outstanding among other comparable speakers, and there’s a convenient handle on the rear, making this 4.3 pound/2 kg speaker easier to carry around. Motion Bluetooth Speaker The Anker Soundcore Motion+ portable Bluetooth speaker has dropped to 84.99 at Amazon as part of one of Amazons daily deals. Speaking of parties, the EPICBOOM is claimed to get seriously loud, and even has an Outdoor Boost button which instantly bumps the maximum volume from 94 to 95 dB. Actually it floats in water, so it should be perfect for pool parties. In terms of ruggedness, the EPICBOOM has an IP67 rating, making it resistant to dust, dirt, drops of 1 m/3 ft and submersion in water. A noteworthy feature inherited from its bigger sibling the HYPERBOOM is Adaptive EQ, which the company claims “reads the room…and automatically balances the sound until it's perfect for your space”. The speaker houses two 45 mm mid to high frequency transducers and one 120 mm woofer, delivering “epic 360° immersive sound and big bass”. While it's not a Wi-Fi enabled smart speaker equipped with a voice-assistant, its design at least is a bit reminiscent of the recently released Sonos Move 2, and it is priced lower at US$349. Motion+ is loaded with two 40kHz ultra-high frequency tweeters, neodymium woofers, and oversized passive radiators to deliver 30W of sound. Me personally though, my undisputed champ right now is the Boom. It may be some better options once you start going higher up in the price range, but for what you personally like, Idk too many other options if any of the value for the motion+. Logitech-owned audio brand Ultimate Ears, known for its high quality, rugged bluetooth speakers in a number of sizes, has just introduced the second largest member of that family – the EPICBOOM. The Soundcore Motion Boom Plus is available in black and measures 15.31 x 5.51 x 7.7 inches (WxHxD) and weighs just 5.29 lbs. The Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Plus (179.99), along with the Tribit StormBox Blast (199. Definitely the undisputed champ for sound quality and soundstage for 100 bucks.
