Awesome speaker!
This speaker is hands down the best portable Bluetooth speaker for any occasion. It's portable, great battery life, great sound, water resistant, tons of customization for color themes and equalizer settings with the app, and just all around great. We have used it for backyard parties, at the lake, and we are taking it with us camping this weekend. For it's size, everyone that has seen it has said it is very loud and clear for how compact it is. I've had a ton of compliments on it as well as what brand it is. It ranks right up there with speakers costing nearly double it's cost. My only quirk is that the physical buttons on the top aren't visible at all at night. Not a big deal to me at all, because you can control everything from your phone anyway. I included a screenshot from the app so you can see the different options for colors. It's pretty cool when the colors vibe to the music. It charges via USB type C also, so your phone charger will most likely work without having to use a different cord. If you are looking for a great compact speaker that you can charge up and go all day with crystal clear LOUD sound, this is the one you want to get. Don't hesitate.

    Surprising good sounds!! Mesmerizing light rings!!
    I bought a pair of these thinking they are just another low quality Bluetooth speaker “gadgets” but wanted to try out its linking function anyways. Upon connecting both speakers to my iPhone in about one minute and listening and also watching the beautiful LED light rings working together at a distance with very good sound, I am blown away by the over all value and sound quality with lights!! I highly recommend these for anyone who love to have portable speakers!!!

    My new Favorite speaker!!
    So far I have not disliked anything about it. I got it on the Black Friday sale, so it was 50$ cheaper. I have used this brand before and it was good quality. So I have it a shot. Such an awesome speaker, really amazing sound quality , can get very loud, and the added light element is very cool. I would buy it again!!

    Awesome Surround sound and Bass!"
    I saw a gentleman at my local neighborhood store, and he had one of these speakers in his hand carrying it around the store while he purchased his items. So, I asked him where did he purchase it because I was so amazed at the base sound because you can hear it afar distant, but it did sound as though I was right next too it. He replied, "I got it from Walmart", and he had it connected to his cell phone, and he turned the volume up and it had a stereo bass sound. I told him that I like it and what was the brand name, and he replied, "Soundcore". So, immediately I went to Walmart to purchase one and two was in stock. I purchased only one at the time, and came home to connect it to my all-in-one computer and the sound was phenomenal. The base was on que, the clarity of the sound is very good, and the surround sound is totally awesome, and I love those motion-light colors. Shortly afterwards, I rushed back to Walmart to purchase the other one as well, and was able to connect both speakers together. The sound is extraordinary! I definitely love Soundcore'. It really sounds good, and works like a charm! I love it!

    Absolutely love!!
    The sound quality is amazing. The lights are so beautiful and bright. I love everything about this!! It's waterproof but I haven't used it in water. It has some controls on its top, but also it has a smartphone app you can control it from. Highly recommend this and want to buy more, for other rooms of my house. You can connect up to to 100 of these with each other, for amplified sound.

    Full sound with unique lighting effect
    I am in love with this bluetooth speaker. I originally was hoping to give it to my daughter but it does not come with a jack for her iPod. Therefore, she was unable to easily hook up her songs to play from the speaker. She was disappointed since the lighting effects on this speaker are so fun and unique! I have decided to keep it in the dining/kitchen area to use while washing dishes and so the whole family can enjoy the colors. I can use a music app on my phone to play songs or podcasts using the bluetooth connection. The lights have multiple settings. Blue, purple, rainbow, orange, red and more. I enjoy the dual beat-driven light rings. They really make this speaker standout. This speaker is also great for setting the mood. The warm orange red light setting adds a nice ambiance to any darkened room. We also used the speaker outside for some pool party fun and it really delivers great all around sound whether indoors or outdoors. We set it on the food table and with the colorful lights on it really added to the party atmosphere. Plus, I didn't have to worry about it getting wet since the speaker is fully waterproof! And the 12 hour playtime is a good amount of time to listen to music without having to recharge it. I would highly recommend this speaker. The sound quality, even while playing classical music, is like no other small size bluetooth speaker we have owned.

    Great Sound
    I have purchased several blue tooth speakers over the past few years. The first one was rather large, it lit up and had a great sound but it was sometimes difficult trying to find a spot for it. We decided to keep it outside in the gazebo where we found a great spot for it. We were still looking for one for indoors so the next one I purchase was about the size of a brick, it also sounded good and was easier to take around the house, on a picnic or on the boat, it did not light up. Then I went to the Echo dot which I liked the best, I did not need and playlist, it played my list of favorites from various stations and music streaming services. When I first turned on this speaker, I was AMAZED at the sound, it sounds fantastic! It also played my favorite stations and music choices. I love the way it lights up, it is so much fun, it connected with my internet quick and easy and was easy to use. Plug it in, turn it on and enjoy!

    Anker Speaker Rocks
    This Anker Soundcore Flare 2 bluetooth speaker has a good quality sound. I am a huge fan of bass, and the quality a sound system has in the bass with Anker is good. It's not great, but it is good for the size and value of the product. The size is nice and compact if you have limited space for a speaker. I do like the option of changing the level of bass depending on your needs. Not everyone loves the bass like myself, so it is nice for those who are not a huge fan. I like that all of the controls are located on the top of the device and change the songs properly and promptly (even rapidly). I believe the quality of the machine is worth the price. I have not submerged the speaker completely, but it has been splashed on the side of the tub and shows no signs of damage. The bluetooth connection is very good and connects quickly. It also holds a charge for a full 12 hours. The color change with the beat is very cool and does work very well. I would definitely recommend this product for anyone who is interested in a quality speaker but is not willing to break the bank to purchase it.

    Great Speaker!
    I am a Walmart Spark Reviewer and I had the absolute pleasure of reviewing the Anker Soundcore Flare 2 Bluetooth Speaker Blue. This is a very nice, compact speaker. The setup instructions are easy to follow. A connector cord was included without a plug-in. The mechanics of the speaker are very user friendly. It can be placed in a multitude of places throughout my home. The sound is dynamic! The dual lighting is beat driven. I like that the lighting is on the top and bottom of the speaker. It can be linked with multiple speakers. I am looking forward to this pandemic ending so that I can entertain with this jewel!

    Great wireless speaker
    This little speaker generates a good sound with base. The lights add to the entertainment and I like that you can customize the lights. The app makes it easy to control the speaker. The only items I question are the top control buttons and the rubber cover for the power plug in. The control buttons are not lit up and the rubber flap does not have a tab to easily pull it off. Otherwise, I am very satisfied and would recommend.

    Small speaker Giant sound!
    We are really enjoying this sound core flare 2 sound and light speaker. It took 30 seconds to plug it in and begin listening to our music. The base up technology is really awesome and you definitely can tell that the base is up another level. The kids also enjoyed the dual beat driven light rings that are changeable to many different color schemes of your choice. 12 hour playtime without having to charge is incredible. We are glad to know to just in case that it is fully waterproof because you know accidents happen! We are very pleased with this and would not hesitate to recommend it to any music lover out there, the light show just creates an extra ambience that's not in a normal run-of-the-mill blue tooth speaker either!

    Packs A Punch
    I'm excited to review the Anker Soundcore Flare 2 Bluetooth Speaker because it is a good quality item and a lot of fun. I have tried many bluetooth speakers but I feel that this is the best around. First of all it is compact so you can bring it anywhere. Its not so small that it will fit in a cup holder but not much bigger. It packs a ton of sound for such a small item. The app that goes with it is very easy to use and the light show it provides is a lot of fun. I like that I can bring this in the shower or play with it around the pool area because of its water resistance. The battery life lasts for a long time and it's really cool that you can put a bunch of these speakers together and sync them up for an even bigger party sound. Mine is supposed to be blue but it looks more black to me. Maybe its just a navy blue. My friends have these and we put them in a dance circle . It was a lot of fun. I know this particular model is getting pretty popular on the market with many happy video reviews found online and I'd have to agree with them. This is one great little speaker. I'm thinking of getting another one to give as a gift. Plug and play makes it easy as the set up is something a child could do. Highly recommended.

    Little speaker. Big sound.
    A great little speaker. Good volume and excellent clarity. Did not expect as loud of a sound from a small speaker. But it is perfect for the small apartment we live in. Several times I have had to ask my son to turn down the volume or close his bedroom door. He likes his music louder than I do. The is a well built and sturdy speaker. I also like the feel of the fabric. Not at all cheap or flimsy. I highly recommend this speaker.
