I have several Anker portable bluetooth speakers, Amazon's Tap, Echo, and Dot, and several larger bluetooth speakers costing several times this little gem's price.

But during that period a host of companies have turned up to the party bringing worthy competition to what has been called "The Best Bluetooth Speaker on the Market" by scores of magazines, tech blogs, and media outlets

Excellent Bluetooth speaker.

Maybe I'm expecting too much from a portable Bluetooth speaker

BALANCED PORTABLE BLUETOOTH

It turns out my device did have a faulty Bluetooth receiver that created a crackle/pop at random intervals

The voice call quality isn't really anything to write home about in my opinion but, it works probably about as well as any Bluetooth

This is a great Bluetooth speaker

However, I found the sound balanced and - fortunately - it lacked the muddiness found in a lot of other Bluetooth speakers that promise extra bass

This is a very decent Bluetooth speaker, and a great value when you can get it on sale

I assumed based on the higher price point, increased power and improved IPx rating that the Motion Q was a follow up to Ankers Soundcore 2, the "Gold Standard" of portable Bluetooth speakers

Bluetooth earphones worked fine with the GPS and computer or iPhone

I have a small obsession with speakers, in particular portable Bluetooth speakers
