    I think it's been that price for a while as it been superseded by the Boost & then the Motion B.

    Was £39 and dropped to £28 for black friday and back again to £39 the next day.
    Great price for a great speaker.

    The reviews of the Boost & Motion B seem better. The Motion B looks very good for an extra tenner.

    I got this one which is now £50, for £23 back in 2015... I think it was quite the bargain alert at the time:

    Any idea how these two compare to it? Seems the ones above are 2 x 6w, where the one I got is 2 x 10w!

    Anker Soundcore Motion B down to £21.79 on Amazon. Not as cheap as the mad deal a few weeks ago but still lower than what's captured on camel camel camel.

    Fully waterproof and 2 can be paired for stereo. Too late for Christmas but still a good deal.

    I have the Boost. Aw some bit of kit. People often comment on how good it sounds.

    Half the battery life for a 3 pound saving?

    A lot of reviews say that the Motion B sounds better, has waterproofing & the ability to connect a pair for stereo.

    as above

    sound quality by far & I'd also be a bit sceptical about the long term realibility of the 24 hour model , (imo it's an inferior spec, battery )

    horses for coarses though and whatever suits your needs

    another item that's not needed but still at good price if quality to go anything by headphones it should be good, also battery claims wouldn't dismiss that as headphones manage 7-8hrs on essentially less then few mill strip of battery.


    As sound quality goes i think people always expect studio quality for what is essentially just a portable speaker for few quid, so deep bass and all the ranges would be silly to compare, as long as it doesnt crack, id go with anker as they seem to be making way as one of the more decent companies without paying double or triple for same item for more brand named ones.
