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

The speaker works as advertised, and it seems to be built well, but the sound is noticeably worse than the JBL I have, so Ive mostly stopped using the Soundcore speaker. Music sounds hollow and spoken voices in podcasts are noisier than they should be.

Sound is great and powerful. Only the complain is hard to see all the feature button ( power, volume so on) I have to pick up speaker close to the light every time when I need to push volume or power button, it’s quite annoying

All my friends bought their own after hearing mine.

I researched/read an awful lot about getting a pair of the Mini Flare versus the Flare+. I thought Id start small and, if it was inadequate, I could return them and splurge for the Flare+. (I briefly considered the Flare 2, but stereo was a priority since I want to put one on either side of our hottub...and the Flare 2 is mono.) With the Mini Flare, Ive been very, very satisfied. It has a nice rich bass, sounds good from all angles, and the lights look pretty sweet. The unit itself looks sharp and looks way more expensive than it is. I especially like the stereo sound and couldnt ask for anything more (except maybe a circle of lights on the top like the Flare 2 has...which would look even greater). Im 100% satisfied with my pair of Mini Flares.

For the low price asked, this is an excellent portable BT speaker and hard to beat. The sound quality is great, exceptional for this price point. Bluetooth works perfectly. For a small, portable BT speaker, the pseudo-360 sound approach works well. I used the app during setup and testing (on my phone), but rarely need it in daily use. I use this Flare Mini often with my Chromebook and it works perfectly. The CB volume controls work great with it and it connects quickly always. Same with my phone. Did I mention how good this speaker sounds? The bass is full and realistic, not muddy or overdone at all. Mids are great and highs seem very good to me as well. Everything sounds well balanced. Crisp. As it should. I did not notice any distortion at tolerable volume levels. I am not a big fan of the controls which can be hard to see in a dimly lit room, but its not a big deal since you dont need to use them much,since you can control them from your device. But they can be hard to press and overall are the one minor nibble I have with this fine speaker. Oh, I almost forgot about the lights. I normally have them turned off, but they work fine and are fun occasionally. :-) This is one of the best values I have found in a solid portable Bluetooth speaker and it is now a favorite of mine. ------------ Update: Forgot to mention that when watching movies on my Chromebook and using this speaker, everything is in sync, no issues with audio lag from the video. And this speaker always connects automatically when I turn on my Chromebook if Bluetooth is turned on, on the CB. Just works great,

I like walking and sitting quietly listening to great sounds

Sounds great. SO EASY to pair and shape and balance is great. Take it camping always. Battery life very good.

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!

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.

Just got this speaker today. My old one was dying out and I needed something small and loud. The lights I feel are one reason this speaker is this expensive. However, they dont work. I get 2 options of solid blue, one of solid red, one of a blue and yellow, and one option just has nothing, but the light button is turned on on the top. The lights are nice with how dark it can get in my place. Old building and a lack of outlets. So knowing I paid the price I did for some cool lighting options and this is all there is, I feel a little duped. The sound quality is great. But it is only day one.
