Soundcore, the audio brand of Anker, has expanded its range with the Motion X500 – a sleek, compact, portable speaker that’s capable of Hi-Res and Spatial Audio playback.
The Soundcore Motion X500 includes two front-facing 15W full-range drivers and an upwards pointing 10W “sky” driver to expand the soundstage. This is utilised through the brand’s proprietary 3D Sound algorithm to make for a wider experience no matter the source material. The speaker is capable of 40W of audio output in total.
The quoted frequency range is 50Hz to 40kHz.
It comes with Bluetooth 5.3 on board and LDAC support for near lossless audio streaming. There’s also a 9-band equaliser available on the Soundcore smartphone app that can fine tune the listening experience.
As with other speakers in the family, the X500 has been designed to be used in or outdoors, with its aluminium casing and matte finish sporting an IPX7 rating for waterproofing. It’s a touch more than 1.5kg so can be carried from room to room, or into the garden easily.
A built-in 6400mAh battery allows for up to 12 hours of music playback between charges.
Multi speaker connectivity is available with true wireless stereo (TWS) support, although it’s not really built for multiroom streaming.
