Measuring 6.3 x 3.5 x 3.5″ (16 x 9 x 9cm) and weighing 1.3lbs (590g,) the Soundcore Flare 2 is small and light enough to take car-camping or drop in a bag when you’re heading to the beach, but probably a bit too big for your carry-on. We’ve reviewed a lot of Anker gear over the years and it’s rarely disappointed, but how well does the Flare 2 compete in the real world? It’s in a challenging part of the market, though, and a solid list of features doesn’t mean much when there are several other companies making good portable, sub-$100 Bluetooth speakers. Well-priced and promising everything from “powerful 360° audio” to water resistance and its own light show, it sounds good on paper.

The Flare models form much of its portable speaker range, with the most recent being the mid-sized Flare 2. Things have changed a bit lately, though, and while there’s still a lot of junk out there, the odd diamond in the rough has appeared.Īnker, one of our favorite tech accessory companies, has lately been expanding into the audio market via its Soundcore brand. Finding one that looked and sounded good enough for daily indoor use, yet was still durable enough for the outdoors, long proved hard to find. I also wanted a speaker equally appropriate in my living room as it was beside the pool. The small ones had weak sound and battery life, the larger ones were too big to take beyond the backyard, and most weren’t really durable enough to deal with the rain, dirt, and knocks they encountered. If I’m honest, though, there was always something about them that disappointed. The idea of being able to fire up my favorite tunes around the BBQ, at the beach, or beside the campfire has long appealed, and I’ve owned a number of different models over the last decade.
I’ve always had a soft spot for portable Bluetooth speakers.
