Short answer: the Stormbox Blast, and it’s a size class up for $40 more. It ranks #2 of 113 boombox speakers at $199.99; the Motion X600 ranks #19 of 120 large speakers at $159.99.
The Motion X600 is genuinely fussy to get right. Our notes say it needs a different EQ for each volume step, and even with the recommended Oluv EQ applied, the bass still isn’t very deep and the sound is described as a little unnatural. Without that EQ, it would rank closer to #20 in its own class.
The Blast is close to neutral out of the box. Quite neutral in its default and xbass modes already, with a reviewer EQ that Tribit eventually adopted as the firmware default rather than something you have to hunt down and apply yourself.
Buy the Stormbox Blast for a speaker that doesn’t need per-volume EQ tweaking to sound right. Buy the Motion X600 if you want to save $40 and don’t mind the extra tuning work.
Battery life favors the Tribit Stormbox Blast: rated for 30 hours against 12 hours for the Soundcore Motion X600.
