Short answer: the Motion Boom, and it’s much cheaper too. It ranks #14 of 120 large speakers at $109.99. The Mix 2.0 costs $219.99, $110 more, and ranks #95 of 113 in the boombox class, near the bottom of a different field. The Soundcore Motion Boom is discontinued; its replacement is the Soundcore Boom 2.
The Mix 2.0’s own cons say it plainly: it doesn’t compete well with speakers of the same size class. Not much deep bass, a boosted upper bass that thuds, rolled-off treble, and midrange that recedes rather than carries vocals, despite a feature list that includes IP67 waterproofing and a built-in phone charger.
The Motion Boom is described as excellent budget-friendly value, with a genuine 24-hour battery and a buoyant waterproof design of its own.
Buy the Motion Boom. It’s cheaper and measures dramatically better than the Mix 2.0.
