Bose’s excellent SoundLink Flex Bluetooth speaker, which we awarded a CNET Editors’ Choice, is one of the top-selling Bluetooth speakers on Amazon, with thousands of user reviews there. Needless to say, competitors took notice and decided to offer up their own spins on the Flex, which lists for $150 but sometimes goes on sale for less. The Soundcore Motion 300 is Anker’s answer to that Bose speaker. Around the same size as the Bose, it doesn’t sound quite as good, but it sounds impressive for its compact size and costs only $80. As a result, we’ve awarded it a CNET Editors’ Choice as a strong value pick in the portable Bluetooth speaker category.
