When companies like Motorola and JBL get together to create something, you can be pretty sure that it’s going to look chic and sound good. This is exactly the case with the Motorola EQ7 Bluetooth Hi-Fi Stereo Speakers. How do I know? Because I was sent one to review and to be quite frank, I don’t want to return it. Shhh, perhaps if we keep it quiet they’ll let me have it as a Christmas present.

Unique design doesn’t compromise sound

One of the first things that struck me about the Motorola EQ7 was its flat design – unlike Blueant’s M1, Motorola and JBL have opted for a pancake design. Despite its flatness, for its class, sound is of very high quality. Bass is deep and treble crisp. The speaker’s metal enclosure has been tempered to achieve optimum sound from these compact speakers. The combination of four aluminium dome Odyssey® transducers driven by powerful neodymium magnets, ensures your tunes are pumped out with oomph.

The Motorola EQ7 is the best sounding Motorola speaker set I’ve tested to date.
