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 300 ranks #2 of 134 medium speakers at $79.99.
The case for the Raymate M8: 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.
What the Soundcore Motion 300 gets right: Pretty deep bass for the small size. The catch: Without the above EQ or turning the top 2 treble EQ bars to max.
Buy the Raymate M8 at $80 if you want a large speaker. Buy the Soundcore Motion 300 at $79.99 if you want a medium speaker instead.

Soundcore Motion 300: $79.99 Amazon
Pros: Pretty deep bass for the small size. Pocket size in a big pocket. Can be used in stereo facing you, or omnidirectional lying down. Ability to have a custom EQ for each orientation, standing, lying flat, hanging. Try the Uboom L EQs from Oluv for a more neutral sound.
Cons: Without the above EQ or turning the top 2 treble EQ bars to max, this speaker is very rolled off in the treble and will rank around #50 in the rankings. Bassup mode is worse than Signature. Not quite as detailed or neutral as higher ranked speakers. Slight bass distortion when turned up.
