Soundcore Flare Mini Bluetooth Speaker, Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker, IPX7 Waterproof for Outdoor Parties, LED Light Show with 360° Sound and BassUp Technology

On the Flare 2 product listing the Flare mini is listed as a newer model. They are contemporaries of each other. The flare 2 is larger and is able to pair with hundreds of other flare2s. The Flare mini is smaller less powerful version of the Flare2 - a good thing. The sound is fabulous and the size is great for smaller areas. It pairs with one other Flare mini. We needed to have several (8) speakers synced together so returned this for the Flare 2.

I bought the initial speaker and I was impressed with how great and clear it sounded and how good the bass was especially for one this small. Its definitely not a speaker for an entire party but its great to fill your bedroom with your vibe. After reading some of the reviews and about how great 2 of these together I decided to give it a shot and man, I DID NOT REGRET THAT DECISION. I put them on either side of my desk and I put my myself in between them. WOW! The sound it surrounds you with is impeccable no matter the genre. Ive put it on either side of my bed and played really mellow music that only fills your head cause of how surround sound the two end up being. All that for less that 90$. Most high end speakers in the 200-300$ range probably do have way better sound but the fact that itll only fill one side of you home or bedroom would make you rethink about your purchase. If you would spend that money on a speaker since it would make more sense to buy 2 of Soundcores most high end portable speakers since you can connect the two and fill the ENTIRETY of your with much more quality sound that the mini (not that the mini has bad sound, as I mentioned, Its impressive). In the future I might two flare 2s but if youre on a budget and you want that 300$ dollar sound for your bedroom, two of these is the way to go!

Great Little Speaker For the Price!

Had another model but it was stolen. This one is ok. Not as much bass or loudness. Use it when cooking or just laying around.

I would have gone smaller on second thought but I’m sure great for party or pool crowd. My biggest complaint is buttons are hard to see on top and you have to pick up and hold close to switch up. I’d also have gone for a smaller unit for my purposes but happy with quality and value.

I just love my Lil speaker. Totally, worth the price.

This is a great, easy to use little blue tooth speaker. It pumps out good sound, easily connects to phones and other streaming devices and does a nice job holding the connection -- no issues there. My kids love the colored lights coming from the bottom. We use this on the back porch when we are in the pool. We have not put it in the water, but it has been on the deck when we watered plants and such and it doesnt seem to be impacted in the slightest bit by the water -- as advertised. It charges quickly and lasts for several hours outdoors. WEve had it about a month and it seems like a great buy.

I ordered this for a small pool party to be held later this month, so this baby has to perform outdoors in high humidity near a pool and over 15 people talking and laughing. In an empty living room the sound is decent. The tone changes depending upon the surface its resting on: tinnier on the concrete counter, deeper on a teak coffee table. It charged within 2 hours and pairing with my iPhone was simple and quick. As far as the LED light show goes, I dont really care about that. I bought it for the music not the cheap disco vibe. Only two downsides thus far: 1. The directions are a joke. The pamphlet is the size of a matchbook and contains only incomprehensible graphics. 2. It wont turn off, no matter how much I press the on/off button. Ill update post-party.

Always an Anker and Soundcore enthusiast and this is my second pair of this model, i purchased them for a gift and they were used for less than a week. One of them began to go crazy with the lights, now it sounds really janky and blurry. The other is ok but the point in giving them away in pairs is that they get used as decoration. Ill think more carefully next time before purchasing UPDATE: Anker reached me and after checking on the issue they send a replacement. One of the best customer service experiences ever!

This speaker worked for a week before the battery failed. Was used in my kitchen. Never outside or exposed to any temperature extremes. Sound quality was great while it worked but I dont believe it ever held a charge or the charging interface ever worked properly. I tested with multiple micro USB cables and chargers that I confirmed work with charging other devices. Pretty disappointed in this companys QA. I contacted Anker and they promptly sent me a return label but will not ship a new unit until the defective unit is received. Since it could simply be a bad unit (it happens), Ill update the review after using the new device and running it through its paces. Until then, solid 1 star from my perspective. EDIT: Ankers customer service was great and sent a replacement and it has worked great now for months.
