What customers say about "Key Specs"

Anker Soundcore Motion B Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

Can't verify exact range but certainly could still hear it playing/connected up to at least 30-40 ft and that was without volume being on full.
Once paired the sound field and range are superb. Highly recommended.
For the money, this little speaker covers a wide range of sounds and it is clarity v good a decent bass output.
The sound quality and range of this speaker is amazing.
The connection and range is solid - I have left my phone in the other side of the house have had no issues with sound quality.

Bose SoundLink Mini II Portable Bluetooth Speakers

I am very disappointed in the battery life of Bose products. In the 1 1/2 years I have had this Speaker I have taken very good care of it and used it very little. At this point, it will not charge over 50 percent.
This is my first BOSE product - I love the sound clarity and battery life.
The battery life is awesome. The unit itself cosmetically looks a little dated, but the sound makes it worth it.
The Bluetooth connects immediately upon turning on the device. Most take at least a couple seconds, but not the SoundLink.
Good battery life - charge level was still 100% after watching the first movie.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Anker Soundcore Motion B Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

The SoundCore is actually surprisingly good sounding for its size and price.
Size of the speaker is excellent, cannot fault that. Build quality is good, the feel of it is amazing, almost like suede, so nice to the touch.
I was well impressed with the build and sound quality of the speaker considering its size.
Love the compact size but the sound is big always crystal clear even with the sound screwed up.
Great size makes it really very portable & ideal to take away for holidays.

Bose SoundLink Mini II Portable Bluetooth Speakers

I wanted a well made, good sounding, small portable speaker for the home and I don't think I could have made a better choice.
The sound from this small speaker is spectacular. It produces great bass with well balances treble and is made with precision quality- it is surprisingly heavy.
I enjoy the excellent battery life, sounds, tones, and volume range from this small speaker.
The bass is absolutely astounding from such a small unit.
Great little speaker; very big sound for its size. I'm also really surprised by the BT range - much better than the JBL flip I've used in the past.

What customers say about "Features"

Anker Soundcore Motion B Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

Originally wanted to get the Anker SoundCore 2 but I got this because it is completely waterproof.
The speaker looks and feel very durable, exactly as you would expect from a waterproof speaker.
Fully waterproof which means I can now use it next to my hot tub and not worry about rain or splashes.
Properly waterproof (tested in the sink, while playing music on full volume)
The speaker is rubberised and waterproof so you can take it to the beach without worrying too much.

Bose SoundLink Mini II Portable Bluetooth Speakers

The ability to use it as a speakerphone is a handy feature. Callers have noted that my voice sounds clear. An incoming call can be answered (or refused) with a tap of a button on top of the unit.
Just push the button on the speaker and you can speak through it. I can hear others well through it, and they tell me they hear me normally.
Connecting is also a breeze, after your initial set up. Its as easy as pushing a button.
The action button is a really cool way to let you pause and change tracks without fussing with your phone.
I like the multifunction button to pause and skip songs.

What customers say about "Interfaces"

Anker Soundcore Motion B Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

The battery life is superb and is charged via micro USB like many of my other devices.
Charging is by standard mini-USB, which is welcome, and a cable is supplied.
Easy access to the 3.5 mm output and micro USB ports behind the plastic flap.
Charging port and AUX 3.5 jack input are to the side with a little door, presumably so that water doesn't get it as it does have an IPX7 rating.
The USB charging port is covered by a flap and I think will either break off after a while or get scratches and become dirty.

Bose SoundLink Mini II Portable Bluetooth Speakers

They have also increased the battery life and changed from a proprietary charging connector to a standard mini-USB port.
I really appreciate that it can charge through the included proprietary base or through micro-USB.
I use it with phone and desktop computer via bluetooth and now have it working via the aux input as sound system for my TV.
Everything great except it buzz really loud connecting with aux when nothing is played.
The AUX jack, thru which music plays fine, shuts off after 15 minutes.
