Short answer: the JBL Flip 6 for plug-and-play, the Soundcore Motion 100 only with EQ work. The Motion 100 sounds its flattest once you dial in Oluv’s EQ, but its bass is not very deep, there is some distortion, real-world battery life falls well short of the claimed 12 hours at higher volumes at closer to 4, and charging takes roughly 5 hours. The Flip 6 is very neutral and a huge leap over the Flip 5, though it is not stereo.
Buy the JBL Flip 6. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the Soundcore Motion 100 is discontinued.
