Short answer: the Brane X for better sound quality, the Soundcore Motion X600 for the lower price. The Brane X ranks #4 of 115 large speakers, rated 4.6/5, at $549. The Soundcore Motion X600 ranks #19, rated 4.3/5, at $159.99, $389.01 cheaper.
The Soundcore Motion X600 is the lighter pick. A stereo speaker with impressive sound after its latest firmware update, especially with a well tuned EQ. At 5.2 lbs (2.35 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Brane X at 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg). It supports LDAC Bluetooth, which the Brane X lacks. Watch for: Stock frequency response is wavy.
The Brane X is the deeper-bass option. A portable speaker with extraordinarily deep bass for its size, plus Wi-Fi, AirPlay, Alexa and a low latency aux input. Its bass reaches about 31Hz before falling 10dB, against 52Hz for the Soundcore Motion X600. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Soundcore Motion X600 lacks. Watch for: The front-facing design has only moderate dispersion, so sound changes noticeably off to the sides or behind it.
Buy the Soundcore Motion X600 when the price outweighs sound quality for you, and the Brane X when sound quality outweighs the price instead.
