The small, tube-shaped speaker is wrapped in a linen cover and has a funky light ring on its bottom, giving it a distinctly Amazon Echo-like look.īut it's what's on the inside that counts most, and the Flare sounds excellent. Anker has sold audio gear before - and the sound quality and durability of those speakers and headphones have impressed me, too - but spinning off Soundcore into its own company is a clear sign that Anker is taking the audio category more seriously, which brings me to the Soundcore Flare.

Soundcore is a spin-off of Anker, a tech company that has a reputation for making cheap-but-good cables, adapters, and other convenient mobile accessories.

That was the first thought I had when I tested a new portable Bluetooth speaker, the Soundcore Flare, and it's the thought that kept crossing my mind each time I sat down for another listening session. "There's no way a $60 speaker should sound this good." If you're looking for a high-quality, portable, and waterproof Bluetooth speaker for the summer, for a fantastically low price, the Soundcore Flare is it.Excellent audio quality alone makes the Soundcore Flare worth recommending, but the speaker has a couple of fun extras that put it over the top, like a customizable light ring and wireless stereo capabilities.
