Why you should buy the Soundcore Motion 300 

Weighing less than 2 pounds and built for grab-and-go portability, the Soundcore Motion 300 is a Bluetooth speaker you can take just about anywhere. We reviewed this speaker two years ago, and resident AV expert Simon Cohen said, “Soundcore’s Motion 300 offers great sound and features for far less than the price of other speakers.” It has an IPX7 rating for water resistance, which means it can survive an accidental dunk in the pool or beverage spill. On a full charge, you should also get up to 13 hours of battery life. 

The Soundcore Motion 300 does a good job at filling small to medium-sized spaces with sound, but audio quality is the best when standing in front of the speaker. The Soundcore app lets you switch to different presets, too, should you need a little extra splash of treble or boost in bass. The Motion 300 struggles with ultra-low-end frequencies, but that’s normal for its driver size and proportions. 

We’re also big fans of Soundcore’s Smart Tune technology, which automatically calibrates sound quality to best match the acoustics of your room. It’s hard to say how long this sale is going to last, but today could be your last chance to get this discount.

For months, reports have suggested that OpenAI’s first hardware product would be a screen-free smart speaker designed to act more like an AI companion. We already knew it could understand its surroundings, be carried around the home, and proactively help users. A new Bloomberg report now gives us a clearer picture of what the device may actually look like.

As per the report, OpenAI’s first gadget will be shaped like a doughnut and measure about the same size as a hockey puck. You will be able to carry it between rooms or leave it nearby on whatever surface is convenient. The device is expected to be on the expensive side, as the company has pondered pricing it around $300 to $400. A release is currently planned for 2027.
