I have used both a JBL charge and a Creative portable speaker for many years. The Creative is limited to shelf use as the battery is long gone depleted. The JBL charge has always been a good speaker too but alas, it has a battery too that is wearing down. So, I set out to find a new speaker for my portable listening enjoyment and stumbled across the Anker Sound Core Pro+
I've always been a fan of Anker products. They are well built, solid, high quality and reliable. With a shiny new gift card in hand I hit the "Buy Now" button without any regrets. Anker didn't let me down. Just like all their other products, this one is quite solid. It is very heavy, about twice what the JBL Charge weighed and similar to the Creative Speaker. The sound is very good, a bit heavy on the Bass, but I can adjust that with an EQ on my media player. This thing vibrates with bass even at low volumes, you can really feel it. It is not a bad thing, it doesn't shake the table or anything but you can definitely feel it vibrate if you are holding it in your hand. (again, not a bad thing)
Battery life is phenomenal. Its like it has a small nuclear reactor inside and just keeps going and going. I had it paired with one of my Echo's and it went an entire day...ad I used it to charge my Pixel 3 XL as well. Fantastic Battery Life! The only thing I can fault is it did not come with a case. My JBL Charge came with a very nice padded case that I used all the time. Given Anker's attention to detail, I am surprised that they did not include one. Most of the aftermarket ones on Amazon just look cheap. So, Anker, if you want to make it better...include a nice case with your next version.

Pro+ or Boost?
I have here a Anker Soundcore boost to compare it to the Soundcore Pro+. Both are very easy to pair to the device and both are very well built. However the Pro+ is a little heavier. As for the sound, both are nearly identical at low to medium volume. Once the volume is set to max, the Pro+ is a clear winner as expected of the 5 extra watt. The bass on the other hand, are pretty much the same. Both have tremendous bass coming out of a little speaker is insane. There are things the Pro+ can do that the Boost cannot and vice versa. Here are the things I like and don't like about the Pro+ and Boost.........Pro+.......Pro:*Can switch device without having to reset the pairing mode*The material feels a lot more sturdier*Very easy to pair*Sound really good and clear at max volume*All the connectors (AUX, USB, ect..) are located in the back*Superb battery life*Insane bassCons:*Cannot disable the bass (always on)*Heavy*Have to hold down the power button for a couple of seconds to shutoff---Boost---Pros:*Can enable/disable bass*Very easy to pair*Well made material but not as good as Pro+*Superb battery life*Insane bass*Press power button to shutoff instead of holding it*LightweightCons:*Have to reset pairing mode to change device*Connectors located on the side*Sound not as good on max volumeAs you can see there isn't much of a difference between the Pro+ and Boost. Other the fact that the Pro+ is $10 more. My verdict is you will be happy with either one they are both amazing speaker!
