For example, I could leave the Flare Mini on the patio in the backyard, go into the house to the opposite end of our вЂњgreat roomвЂќ the music would not miss a beat. In practice, a lot will depend on the material between your phone and the speaker.

The Flare Mini uses the Bluetooth 4.2 standard, so theoretically you can have your sound source up to 66 feet from the speaker. Still, be aware of this omission if you are old school on your connections. There is no line-in jack, most likely to squeeze in more speaker and battery.

As you can see in the picture, though, this is a Bluetooth-only speaker. Using an Anker wall charger, I was able to get just shy of 13 hours playtime at half volume from a 2 hour charge. Other than the branding on the вЂњfrontвЂќ of the speaker, the nice fabric cover is only disrupted by the charging port on the вЂњbackвЂќ. And the speaker was not in any way adversely affected by the sudden storm. In a matter of seconds we were drenched вЂ“ and so was the Flare Mini. Our dance party came to an abrupt end when the massive rain storm moved in. I wish I had a second speaker to test this as it sounds like a great feature. Instead of a true left/right split, you get the same sound from both devices. Although this is called stereo, it is really a way to have two Bluetooth devices consume a single source and keep the sound synchronized between the two speakers. One of the tricks the Flare Mini has up its sleeve is the ability to вЂњpairвЂќ with another Flare Mini. Each song came through perfectly, giving the impression we were listening to a much more expensive sound system. So, for an hour we had a Latin dance party on our back patio: Gente de Zona, Enrique Iglesias, Daddy Yankee, Luis Fonsi, CNCO/Meghan Trainor. To put the speaker through its paces, I played a bunch of reggaeton music because it has everything вЂ“ great bass lines, guitar riffs, and vocals in all ranges.

The mids are clear and bright, and the highs are anything but shrill. Thanks to the Bass-Up technology built-in, the lows are vibrant вЂ“ you can feel them at volume, and it isnвЂ™t a muddy thumping like the low-cost cousins. This is where the Flare Mini really shines. When the music (or podcast or Gregorian chants) hits your earspace, it has to sound good as well. Getting the sound there is only half the battle, though. Nice touch, and one that guarantees youвЂ™ll hear everything no matter where you are. This is thanks to twin speaker arrays that cover 180 degrees each and pump out 5 watts of sound per array, the music pours out in every direction. No matter where I was in the space, the sound followed me as if someone was pointing the speaker in my direction as I moved. The claim to 360 degree sound is accurate вЂ“ I placed the speaker in the middle of our large open floor plan, cranked up the volume and wandered around. The first question to ask in a crowded market like this is вЂњhow does it sound?вЂќ In a word, spectacular. Only slightly bigger than your average soda can and weighs about the same, too. WeвЂ™ll take on these claims, but first a comparison in size: And it says it has a light show that keeps time with the music. Soundcore says that it is IPX7-rated so you could drop it in your pool and not have to run out and buy a new speaker.

It claims to have a full 360 degree sound so that you can place it anywhere and still hear as if you were standing in front of a traditional speaker.

The Flare Mini is an attractive and attractively small Bluetooth speaker. While it shares a lot of the same features as its bigger brother, there are also some trade-offs that help this speaker to come in at a lower price. The Flare Mini from Soundcore (an Anker brand) is a smaller, lighter version of the Flare Bluetooth speaker.
