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

Excellent sound and bass response in a very small package. Anker is an excellent brand.

I loved this speaker, while it worked. Ive had it less than 8 months, used lightly (an average of less than once a week) and its already crackling if the volume is turned above appx 20%. Disappointed lifespan coming from a good brand.

Works great around the pool. Been using it for a few years with plenty of dunks in the pool. Still rocking.

A little disappointed after reading all the glowing reviews. I bought this speaker for $30 on a lightning deal. Anyway I bought this with expectation for a small travel speaker to replace my 5 year old Boombotix Boombot pro which has a tired battery. The speaker is about the size of a soda can. It sounds only slightly fuller and louder than the Boombot which is about half the size of the flare mini. I also compared it MI Bluetooth speaker, and my Earfun Uboom. The Earfun is about 20% larger but blows the Flare Mini out of water with both bass and clarity. The much smaller Mi cant produce nearly the volume of the flare but has a much more natural sound. The problem with Flare Mini is it just has no life to the sound. The high end is so rolled off that it everything sounds a little dead and muffled. Still its a convenient speaker for a shower or hotel room, I may return it in favor of the Tribit Xsound Go which gives up TWS and 360 sound but is truly amazing for its size. Also considering sucking it up and picking up the tiny and amazing for its size Bose Soundlink Pro.

Edit 4/2022 The speaker has been going down hill for a while now. Only going on 2 years of owning it. I have used it 3x a week while Im at work since I bought it. The charging went down hill first. It started not really holding a charge well or it could be that it isnt charging up like it is supposed to because I noticed that the charging light will shut off. Ive tried multiple cords, so I know it is the speaker. The other issue is that it will randomly shut off while you are listening to it and it has recently gotten pretty bad. Like, 1 or 2 songs will play and then it will shut off. At this point, Im so annoyed about having to restart it so often that I have stopped using it and I am currently shopping for a new speaker. Very disappointing. Overall, it is a good speaker if you just need a temporary one to get you through a little while but it definitely wont be a long term speaker. Original I have had this speaker for a couple of weeks now and I love it. I was iffy about getting it because there was a review about it not not having a play/pause button or a button to skip/backtrack songs, but there actually is. This speaker comes with instructions and they explain these features. There is a d like symbol that does all of those. You click once to play/pause, you click twice to skip, and you click 3x to back track. This speaker gets way louder than I was expecting and it has great base. It pairs easily to the Bluetooth on my phone. It is really simple to use and the battery easily lasts my whole 12hr shift at work. I dont think I could have found a better speaker!

I got this speaker for Christmas and brought it on a ski trip the next month. We accidentally left the speaker outside overnight during a blizzard. In the morning we dug it out from under a couple feet of snow and it was completely frozen. We let it thaw and dry, charged it, and it works like new!! You would never know it was outside in 10 degree weather in a snow storm! The other people on the trip immediately ordered one of their own when we saw it was still working. So durable I can’t believe it!!

I just love this little speaker. The sound quality is fabulous and it connects very easily to my phone. Battery life is pretty good as well. I could play this for 2-3 days for several hour stretches each before depleting the battery. I love that its waterproof and durable against dust, heat, and cold outside. Ive never needed to turn the volume to the max- I usually put this on level 1 or 2. If I want to stray further away, literally level 4 or 5 is all I need to hear from up to 10 feet away. I take this out while gardening and set it on my wheelbarrow and its good to go. The color light pattern is very fun. I plan on purchasing the new larger version as well to keep out on the patio and purchasing some for gifts for friends.

This little guy is awesome. He has been to the pool to, the beach, on trips everywhere and the sound quality is fantastic. I would definitely repurchase to gift or to have another one in a different room. Ive had this little guy for about 6 months and hes still going strong. I will say that I wish the battery life was longer.

I should start by saying that I also have a UE Wonderboom, which has a good sound; no complaints with it really. That being said, the Anker Soundcore Flare Mini produces a much more natural sound, but can keep up in the bass department as well. The Wonderboom is 17 watts, while the Soundcore Flare Mini is rated at 10 watts. I havent experienced any difference in power and volume though. This is a truly fantastic sounding speaker. I have paired it with my Nvidia Shield TV, and can report no audio sync issues. The speaker is also equipped with an entertaining light show. There are various modes, and it can be easily disabled if desired. The fabric covering gives the Soundcore Flare Mini a premium feel, with soft-touch buttons in top of the device for standard controls. The bottom is rubberized, so it doesnt shake itself off of a table while playing loudly. Honestly, I have no reason to buy a 2nd one of these, but likely will. I like it that much. You will too!

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.
