Our Verdict

Anker Soundcore Motion+

Bose SoundLink Revolve II

The Bose SoundLink Revolve II is a slightly better speaker than the Anker Soundcore Motion+, though they have different strengths. Out-of-the-box, the Bose offers a somewhat better-balanced sound profile. Thanks to its 360-degree design, it has excellent directivity, resulting in a wide and natural-sounding soundstage. It also offers better voice assistant support, since it does an excellent job of understanding your commands from far and in noisy environments. That said, the Anker comes with a graphic EQ and presets to tweak its sound to your liking. It can also get louder than the Bose.
