These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The Raymate M8 ranks #44 of 75 large speakers at $80; the Soundcore Motion+ ranks #3 of 134 medium speakers at $80.
On the Raymate M8 side: 60W output power, IPX7 waterproof, 15-hour battery life, built-in power bank function, TWS stereo pairing, dynamic LED light show. The catch: Slightly muffled sounding.
The case for the Soundcore Motion+: The previous best sounding in class, still a great speaker with separate tweeters. Set against that: Not quite as neutral or detailed as the Uboom L.
One note: the Soundcore Motion+ is discontinued, but it still ranks #3 of 134 medium speakers, ahead of most of what is still sold new, so it is worth considering used.
Buy the Raymate M8 at $80 if you want a large speaker. Buy the Soundcore Motion+ at $80 if you want a medium speaker instead.

Soundcore Motion+: $80 used, Discontinued Amazon
Pros: The previous best sounding in class, still a great speaker with separate tweeters, more bass at full volume and better off-axis treble frequency response than the Uboom L. Just okay with the default EQ, I highly recommend using this EQ setting from r/kai7895 to get it more neutral. To achieve the absolute best sound you’ll need the Wavelet app (Android only) and set the provided Wavelet EQ in there too. Turn off the wavelet EQ for outdoor use. An alternative is Oluv’s EQ which only needs the Soundcore app EQ.
Cons: Not quite as neutral or detailed as the Uboom L. Without the above EQ, this speaker will rank around #25 in the rankings. Discontinued.
