Short answer: both are discontinued, so this only matters if you are buying used. Used, the Soundcore Motion+ is the better pick: it ranks #4 of 175 medium speakers by sound quality (rated 4.4/5), against #45 (rated 3.7/5) for the Soundcore Motion 100. If you want one new, the Soundcore Motion 300 replaces the Soundcore Motion+ and is rated 4.5/5 at $79.99.
The Soundcore Motion+ is the better-sounding, deeper-bass choice. 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 EarFun Uboom L. Its bass reaches about 54Hz before falling 10dB, against 65Hz for the Soundcore Motion 100. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Soundcore Motion 100 lacks. The tradeoff: Not quite as neutral or detailed as the EarFun Uboom L.
The Soundcore Motion 100 is the lighter pick. At 1.3 lbs (575 g) it weighs much less than the Soundcore Motion+ at 2.3 lbs (1.05 kg). It supports LDAC Bluetooth, which the Soundcore Motion+ lacks. The catch: Not very deep bass, slight distortion.
Buy the Soundcore Motion+ only if you find one used in good condition; both are discontinued, and it is the better rated of the two. For a new speaker, buy the Soundcore Motion 300, which replaces the Soundcore Motion+.

The Two Speakers In Full
Soundcore Motion+: $79.99 used Discontinued Amazon $79.99 eBay
Newer model: the Soundcore Motion 300, ranked higher, rated 4.5/5, released Oct 2023. It adds party mode, AAC and LDAC, but drops the aux input and aptX. See every Soundcore Motion generation.
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 EarFun 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. Measured bass extension of 54Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Not quite as neutral or detailed as the EarFun Uboom L. Without the above EQ, this speaker will rank around #25 in the rankings. Discontinued.

Soundcore Motion 100: $47 Discontinued eBay
Same family: the Soundcore Motion 300 (larger model, ranked higher, rated 4.5/5), the Soundcore Motion X500 (larger model, rated 4.1/5) and the Soundcore Motion X600 (larger model, rated 4.3/5). See every Soundcore Motion generation.
Pros: Use Oluv’s EQ for the flattest response. Measured bass extension of 65Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Not very deep bass, slight distortion. Real-world battery falls well short of the 12-hour claim at higher volumes (closer to 4 hours at max). Charging takes about 5 hours; no charge-out for other devices. Discontinued and no longer sold new.
