With both devices, the speaker appeared quickly in my Bluetooth menu and I was able to connect easily. I connected the Flare to my MacBook Pro as well as my iPhone. If the speaker has not been paired with a device, the Bluetooth icon will blink indicating that it’s ready to be paired. There is an on/off button on the back of the speaker along with a Bluetooth pairing button. Since it supports an auxiliary port, it would have been nice if a 3.5mm stereo mini cable was provided, but I’m not going to mark this amazing speaker negatively for not including it. This is a pretty standard package for Bluetooth speakers these days. Once you open the box you are greeted with your speaker, a quick start guide, and a Micro USB cable. The Flare comes in a well-branded box complete with full-color image and product information. Supports A2DP, AVRCP, HFP profile, and SBC decoding.Output: 2 x 6W, THD (total harmonic distortion) Drivers: 2 x 1.75″ Full Range + 2 x Passive Radiator.And, even though I intend on using this primarily indoors at my desk, the Flare is rated IPX7 and can withstand spills, rain, and complete submersion into water. Sound and light synchronize across both speakers. With Flare, you have the ability to double up on the speaker for a truly unique experience. There are 5 different color themes (party, energy, chill, spring, and bedtime) and 5 adjustable illumination patterns for you to customize to match your musical tastes as well as your moods. They phase, pulse, and shine with the rhythm of your music and with the use of the Soundcore for Flare app, you can control the style of your light show. Soundcore refers to it as a ‘halo of LEDs’. In addition to the incredible sound the Flare produces, the speaker also offers you a dancing light show at its base. Through the use of the Soundcore for Flare app, you can use customizable EQ so that all your music (or any audio) sounds just the way you want it to. A digital signal processor analyses and enhances your music’s bass frequencies. The speaker also utilizes BassUp Technology that helps to produce depth and clarity for your audio. It offers 360-degrees of sound through dual back-to-back drivers and thumping bass radiators. The Soundcore Flare is an impressive speaker. I never thought a single Bluetooth speaker could beat a powerful pair of wired speakers. For a while now, I have been considering downsizing my computer’s sound system to a single speaker, but I didn’t really think it was a feasible venture until I met this glorious 360º tower-style speaker. Looking around my desk right now, I have a desk lamp, a headphone stand with two sets of large wireless headphones on it, a cell phone stand for my iPhone, a small battery operated fan, a large 32-inch curved monitor (review coming soon), my MacBook Pro connected to a dock, and, last but not least, my favorite new speaker, the Soundcore Flare from Anker. It’s a tricky thing when you are trying to keep things as small as possible. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been exploring different types of desk set-ups for my minimal, mobile-style desk.
