Customer Ratings & Reviews

What I like: It's easy to set up as you turn it on and then pair it to your phone. It's waterproof which makes it great to use outside. For how small it is you do get a nice sound out of it too. The app is also easy to set up so you can control the sound and lights, and even though it asks you to login you can skip and use it. I didn't get to try the party mode where you connect multiple speakers, but if you are trying to play on more than one speaker it would be good. What I don't like: The lights didn't sync well to the music, and mostly just annoyed me. Luckily you can turn them off either by pressing the control or by using the app. The app works but doesn't do much outside of the lights and equalizer. I also would have liked to have an option to connect to wifi, to make it a smart speaker; this is a personal preference, but it's the reason I won't use this much compared to other smart speakers. Overall: Good Bluetooth speaker with lights, but nothing special.

This has been my only Bluetooth speaker for years, and while I find the sound quality and software support from Soundcore to be good, the lighting is pretty gimmicky. Sometimes it's fun to use in certain settings, but it's not very good at syncing with the beat of the music, and that throws off the experience. I've set it up to turn off the lighting by default, and have been quite happy with it.

This little speaker has good sound, but not worth the price in my opinion. There are better options available. It's just too pricey.

Excellent speaker great sound only downside is the physical controls on the speaker are hard to manipulate and see

Great sound and easy to connect to with Bluetooth. If you have two they can connect together.

easy set up. good audio quality as compared to a typical laptop speaker. Bass attribute really is over hyped, it really doesn't have a noticeable effect.

This little thing definitely gets loud, it’s not the best quality, but it gets the job done. I also just wish the battery life were a little bit longer.

The sound core flare 2 is the best bluetooth wireless speaker for the price it is awesome….

Great sound quality . Battery life could be better. Great aesthetics.

Good product and price, sound is also good (not the best ive ever heard but satisfied)

The Soundcore Anker Flare 2 speaker sound good, especially for the price point.

Overall really good sound quality, although has some delay

It's a great speaker but the bass is kinda low, to get the best out of it you gotta play with the eq. I found great settings online from a random user.

This isn’t too bad for a small space. I don’t get the quality-360 degree sound that others speak of in their reviews, or the bass quality. I’ve had better sound from a different brand. I’ve done some tweaking on the app but, all in all, not my top choice.

Great speaker. Overall, I have been very happy with it. It is a quality product of great value.

The build quality of the Soundcore Flare 2 is actually quite good for its price point. The charging is done via USB type C which is a plus. The most intriguing part of the Flare 2 was the 360 sound. The sound did give off the slightest feeling of immersive sound. It wasn't anywhere near of what you would get with two separate speakers of a surround sound setup, but once again, for a little portable speaker, not bad. The bass was actually pretty good, which is not something I usually say for portable speakers of any kind. The RGB lights do pulse to the beat of the song that you're listening to. It's great for parties, but pretty pointless in the daylight. There's an app you can download and pair with the speaker. The app has an equalizer feature which is great; especially if you're really picky about how you want the sound to be delivered. Now fo the IPX7 water test. I decided to do the unthinkable and fully submerge it in my tub to see if it survives. Verdict, it did. All in all, it's a nice little speaker with lights, and it's waterproof... how do I use it? As my shower speaker.

The Soundcore Flare 2 is a portable Bluetooth speaker that is pretty small but packs a decent amount of sound. It has a nice design that does not take up a lot of space and can blend in just about anywhere. There are some lights on the top and bottom rings that have multicolor pulses. I am not too big on the colors or the lights, but they are there if you want them and they are easy to turn off. I am impressed with the overall 360-degree sound, build quality and battery life. I was averaging around 12 hours of use with the lights on. I think this speaker is perfect for a small space such as an office or bedroom, but outdoor use, in my opinion, is not a strong suite, however, it does have the ability to link up with other speakers of the same for over 100+, so that would make up for the lack of sound I would think. I was not able to try this feature since I only have one. Another nice feature of this is you can charge it with a normal USB Type C cable, which makes it nice that you do not have to carry around a proprietary charger for it. Overall, this is a neat little speaker and provides sound that will be more than adequate for small spaces and I use it in my office at work and it has been perfect.

I've owned a few Soundcore speakers over the years and have been impressed with most of them. This one was no exception. Pairring this with my phone was a breeze and the default sound had a pleasant balance of bass and treble. Most of the controls for the speaker can be found on top of the device, while logging into their app provides extra levels of customization including additional color pulse choices, setting your own EQ levels, and firmware updates for the device. The ability to pair multiple Soundcore speakers together to provide additional listening space is a nice touch, but unless you've bought into their ecosystem or have friends with similar speakers, you aren't likely to use this feature much. I had to take off one star for a bug in the current firmware where multi-color light settings will look good while the sound is off and then go crazy (not in a good way) when the music starts. This will hopefully be fixed in later firmware revisions as someone probably tied the cycle commands to the wrong EQ channel. Also, this speaker will likely not work well if you want to use it as a computer speaker. The few Bluetooth transmitters I tried produced noticeable audio lag when pair with the speaker. I had zero issues when paired with a phone though, so this is more of a OS/transmitter issue than a speaker issue, but I'm putting it out there for info.

Good sound, good price, good battery life, quick charge and link multiples. App is so so. They've added a light marker near power button so you're oriented in the dark.
