![]() ![]() ![]() Black plastic, no curious designs, nothing. It’s ugly – it doesn’t look premium and in fact it looks cheap. No holds barred, here are some criticisms of this speaker! Overall it’s definitely portable enough unless you have nice use-cases, but it’s not something you want to bring onto planes, busses, or your Sunday bike ride. This is where having 2 of these comes in… Personally I love the form factor and size of the Motion Boom and Minirig + Subwoofer, and the Motion Boom Plus is slightly too big – if I’m dedicating an entire ‘slot’ to something, it might as well be something a little bigger and more powerful. It weighs in at 2.5kg/5.5lbs so it’s still not really heavy at all! The original Motion Boom is 1.5kg/3.5lbs so a slight increase from added battery and body. Yeah it has the shoulder strap, but then it’s pretty much a backpack on its own. Meaning – it’s not so easy to carry on my bike, in my backpack, or just around town in general. The Motion Boom Plus is a bit cumbersome to say the least. Most Bluetooth speakers like the Minirigs, JBL units, and OG Motion Boom are small enough to carry with 1 hand or throw in a backpack. This is where some big opinions are to be had – is it too big? Oh yeah and it can also be used as a powerbank for your phone! Will have to keep testing to give more accurate numbers. USB-C charging is happily found again and it charges at 5V/3A, so ~4 hours to charge from dead. You can easily go a whole day or two of playing tunes in the park before having to top up, and weeks at home if playing at casual listening volumes. Overall this is fairly decent and most speakers lose juice within 4 hours at full tilt. Still, all things said and done the battery life is fairly good, hitting about 2-4 hours on 75-100% volume with a slight emphasis to bass on the EQ. The Motion Boom Plus has a 46.1Wh battery while the original Motion Boom has a 37Wh battery, so about 20% more.Īt low volumes you’re across the board going to have better battery life than smaller speakers, but at high volume that 80W power draw kicks in. ![]() While they’ve packed in more battery in terms of total juice, the Motion Boom+ draws more power too. Of course EQ and the BASSUP function can help mitigate this pretty well! ![]() While this translates very well for house and pop-type music, deep tunes like hiphop or dub will feel this sacrifice. Seems realistic and while maybe exaggerated a bit, it definitely feels like more than 60 watts.Īt maximum volume the speaker compromises deep bass extension for upper bass and mid-bass hit. Supposedly the two titanium woofers draw up to 30W each and the 2 tweeters 10W a piece.
