Soundcore Motion X500 Review
The Soundcore Motion X500, a more compact and affordable version of the earlier released X600, offers a different sound tuning that may appeal to those who found the X600’s bass lacking. The X500’s design is similar to the X600, featuring an attractive colourway, grilled front, carry handle, and an upwards-facing “sky” full-range driver. However, the X500 is taller and less wide, making it more desk-friendly.
Key features of the X500 include a 40W total output with 3 full range drivers, spatial audio with a customised algorithm, Hi-Res Audio certification with LDAC support, a 9-band EQ for sound customisation, a sleek, compact aluminium design, and IPX7 waterproofing[1].
Comparing the X500 and X600 side by side, the X600 has an additional 10W of power, with its two woofers being 20W vs 15W. However, the X500’s presets are completely different, with the X600 having Soundcore Signature as default and the option for bass boost. Even with bass boost enabled, the bass on the X600 is much more recessed than the X500.
The X600 is a more refined speaker overall, with a more balanced sound due to the dialled back bass. However, for those who prefer more punch to their bass, the X500 does a surprisingly good job. The X500 offers a more lively, fun sound, though it might be a bit excessive with the bass at times.
The X600 is technically a better speaker with a more balanced and accurate sound profile, but the X500 has a much more bass-forward V-shaped profile that many people will find more enjoyable. The X500 is an excellent portable speaker with an attractive design that has a good balance of portability and power, offering a more lively and warmer sound compared to the X600.
In conclusion, the Soundcore Motion X500 is a great choice for those who prefer a more bass-heavy sound profile. It offers a good balance of portability and power, and its attractive design makes it a great addition to any desk or living space.
