We can find the power button on the side of the speaker. At the top, there is a multifunction button to pause/play your audio, we can press twice this to skip ahead and press thrice to backtrack. The same button can be used to accept and end calls.
And on the top left, there is a BassUp button that serves to increase the bass in your audio. At the top are three separate buttons to adjust the volume and pair a device using Bluetooth.
It has a light that turns blue to show when the speaker is successfully connected to Bluetooth, turns white when it’s connected to True Wireless Stereo, and turns red when it’s charging.

Performance and Battery Life
The Anker Motion Boom Bluetooth speaker has a very good sound quality with a nice bass sound. Although even with the BassUp feature turned on, it still does not quite give out low bass, but it gives out a louder volume.

It has a decent soundstage, though it seems narrow it becomes wider when played at loud volumes. Though when heavy bass is played through the speaker, it might not give the low and heavy rumble of the bass it has a well-balanced mid-range, so vocals and lead instruments come out clearly and sound well.
It has a notable loud volume which makes it suitable for parties and outdoors. It also gives out a better sound than its counterparts at the same price, and though it can’t compete with bigger and more expensive speakers in terms of sound quality, it is a good pick if you’re looking for a good speaker at an affordable price.
The Anker Motion Boom Bluetooth speaker has an amazing battery life of around 15 hours of average use which makes it available for use for a long time. It also features a charge time of about 3 hours which makes it quickly available for the next use even when it is completely drained. It has a USB-C charging port and comes with a USB-C to USB-A charging cable.
It has about 12 hours of active playtime because of its 6,700-mAh battery. This makes it an excellent choice for outdoors or during parties as it can last long while playing at loud volumes.
Though it uses a voice assistant when connected to your phone via Bluetooth, its capabilities are bad in this regard, and even with no background noise and when the speaker was close by, it could not register any commands when using a recorded voice.
