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

These speakers are pretty good. The battery life is proficient, lasts through the night when we used it for white noise. The LED lights are really nice to have in the car or the bathroom when youre showering. The 360 sound was not that great honestly. There are a couple areas on the device that are muted or dont work well with voice audio. We got two of them so we could use the pairing stereo feature but its a PAIN to connect the two. We eventually get it but the instructions werent very clear on it so weve been just figuring it out haha. Overall a really good speaker for background noise.

I had a larger Flare before this but needed something smaller to carry to the sports bar and use with the Tunity app to hear my college games. Im rather impressed with the sound this puts out for being smaller and batter life seems reasonable - altho I wish the Soundcore app would work with this like the other Flares to know how much battery is left. And the buttons have minimal markings with no backlighting so its especially hard to make out in low lighting which are for volume. What is also kind of annoying is that the Bluetooth button tends to go to stereo mode (white light) mode first and you have to realize to press it again to get a blinking blue light indicating pairing mode.

Absolutely love it!

Overall, I think this is a great speaker for the price point. I havent tested it in water yet, but I would feel comfortable taking it kayaking or tubing down the river. The cloth overlay is nice feeling and makes it feel expensive. I also do like the LED function on the bottom of it (if you dont, it can be turned off). Easy to use and connect to, and it connects much farther than anticipated. Our house is old, with thick walls that can sometimes interfere with bluetooth but so far I can be 2 floors down and its still playing crystal clear. And the SOUND. The bass on this is incredible compared to the Amazon speaker I had before. Its so rich and beautiful really. The only thing I dont like is that theres not a next, previous, or pause/play button on the actual speaker. Sometimes I take my speaker with me but not my phone and this non-function can be a pain.

No auxiliary out, listen to music

Some reviews for the Mini said this is a great party speaker. Maybe Edna’s 92nd birthday at Shady Acres Retirement Home. It’s loud enough indoors in a normal size room of your house and for ambient background sound outside, but I returned it after it failed to garner even one irritated glance from the neighbors on Cookout Tuesday. I may try the Flare 2, but I’m not hopeful.

This unit sounds good and is easy move around the house and to use with blue tooth. Id tell you more but my daughter stole it. She kicks me off my own blue tooth.

I bought this speaker to have something to listen to Podcasts and music around the house when Im working from home, and its super portable, easy to connect to my phone, my laptop or my tablet, and it produces a fairly good sound from something only a little larger than a can of soda. For convenient casual listening, its a great little device. I can even put it on the side of the tub to listen when Im in the shower, since it is waterproof, which makes my morning routine much nicer. If you are a serious audiophile or looking to get something that is going to produce high fidelity sound with rich bass and controllable audio profiles, this device is a little too small, simple and inexpensive for that, but for the price point and the size of the device, it is a great value and really delivers a good experience.

This is the best bluetooth speaker I have ever had. Dont think about anything else, buy this one and you will not regret.

For anyone looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker that actually sounds great, go no further! I am as picky as you can find regarding sound quality. The downfall with most portable speakers is the unbalanced mix of high frequencies and missing bass. Play a song with crushing low frequencies, and the speakers turn into mud or distort. Play them loud and the highs make your ears bleed. These little gems are amazing! You hear the entire frequency spectrum, and while the bass wont shake you out of your chair, you hear the bass! These are an engineering marvel as well they reproduce the entire sound spectrum. I was so impressed, I bought a second one 2 days after the first one arrived. I could not wait to try pairing them for an even more immersive experience. You will not be disappointed! Forget the big names and expensive price tags of other portable Bluetooth speakers. My friends with the more expensive big name brand speakers exclaim these sound better! I have had many of them too, and these far and away exceed them all!
