The rest of the speakers are only tested for water resistance so they have an IPX7 ratings. All the speakers are rated waterproof with submersion but only the original Flare is tested for Dust ingress at IP67. On the other end of the spectrum is the Flare Mini with 10W of speakers. The Flare+ features a larger pair of speakers rated at 25W total while the Flare has 12W of power to its speakers. Unfortunately, like most modern Bluetooth speakers, there is no 3.5mm aux input jack.Ĭomparing with the rest of the Soundcore Flare line, I would place the Flare 2’s 20W speakers between the original Flare and Flare +. The other speakers in the line only have a bottom light ring. Unlike the rest of the Flare line, the Flare 2 has 2 RGB light rings (one on top and another on the bottom). Under a protective flap is the hidden USB-C port. On the back is the Bluetooth pairing button and bass boost. The multi-function button handles play/pause, skip/back and can pick up phone calls. There are 5 buttons on the top (power, a multi-function button, volume up/down and lighting control button). The Flare 2 is a cylinder wrapped in a nice feeling fabric cover all around. The Flare 2 shares design language with the Flare speaker line. Once again, I would like to see a transition to something more sustainable here. The speaker itself is wrapped in plastic and cradled in plastic. Negatives for waste with extra layers of cardboard and plastic. Positive points for the premium feeling packaging with bright colors to attract a buyer on a store shelf. It makes sense for Anker to standardize one type of packaging rather than developing two different types. This represents a shift with Anker since many of their products are now being carried in retail stores like Target. The packaging looks like it is designed more for display in a store than for e-commerce. The Soundcore packaging is different than standard Anker minimalist packaging.
