Our Verdict

Anker Soundcore Motion+

Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II

The Anker Soundcore Motion+ is a slightly better speaker than the Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II, though they have different strengths. The Anker is more customizable thanks to the graphic EQ and presets featured on its companion app, so you can tweak the speaker's sound to your liking. It can also get louder than the Bose and can play stereo content without downmixing it to mono, which is more immersive. The Bose offers a better-balanced sound profile that can produce a slightly more extended low bass. It also has better directivity thanks to its 360-degree design, resulting in a wider and more natural-sounding soundstage.
