Woke up to find Soundcore did a 30% off on the Motion+…(Just like Amazon did w/EarlyPrimeAccess). Ordered one ~10 am…had it by 3:30pm!.
Solid and Heavy. I plugged it into my usb-C power-block and got a solid Red indicator light.
I went ahead and powered it up, checked BT on my phone (Moto G7 Power) and it paired no problem, and showed 100% battery.
Opened the Soundcore app, and it notified me of a ‘new’ device, connected… and it immediately presented me with the firmware update…(took <10 min.), and both my phone and the M+ reported 90% charge…must have been the update recalibrating?.
My first BT speaker was an Oontz 3, which vanished into the ether along with its case…(my co-workers laughed at my $19 flash-sale-speaker, until they heard it, lol.).
I took a chance on the SC2 (6-watt) and then upgraded to the (12-watt)…now I need help, I’m addicted…SC2-6/12watt, Flare2, M+…in the last 20 days…I need an intervention.
I’ll update, I have some testing/comparisons to do.
Update # 1
Wow…the ‘preset’ sound profiles, suck…the genius is the App-based EQ, that sticks to the device…(note: It ‘sticks’ to ‘each’ device, individually).
This is not a BOOM-BOX…(i.e., bass is relative) but the ‘clarity’ is awesome!.
Having to learn how my phone/d’app works… is a bit frustrating, likely ‘user-error’…whatever.
Tested the SC2 (12-watt), Flare 2 (20-watt), and this awesome M+ (30-watt) w/Beach Boys songs…in a 12x12’ room… great volume of ‘sound’…and the EQ can boost it plenty.
This is not a ‘Party Speaker… per se’… the EQ is what truly makes this a ‘stand-out’…two paired in TWS must be awesome. Well-done, SoundCore!.
