The verdict

The Anker Soundcore Motion X500 delivers. A nice step up from the smaller Bluetooth speaker options on the market without going overboard, the X500 really packs a punch while still remaining portable.

✓Liked: Unique 3 driver design, Bluetooth 5.3, IPX7 waterproof, Backlit controls

✕Could be better: No dust rating, No 3.5 wired option

Owners

How we verify owners

Nobody who owns the Soundcore Motion X500 has written in yet.

Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
