Unlike the Liberty 2 Pro, the Soundcore app does not allow you to re-map or configure the controls. Skipping tracks require 2 to 3 taps of the middle button, but I found myself needing to press the middle button 3 to 4 times instead. The main controls are situated on the top which are button that controls power, volume, play/pause, and lighting effects. The base of the speaker has anti-slip rubber to prevent it from getting shifted around too easily. This means if you accidentally drop the Flare 2 in the swimming pool, it will be able to survive under one meter for up to 30 minutes. Sadly, there isn’t an 3.5mm AUX out port so the Flare 2 is strictly a Bluetooth only speaker.Īs for build quality, the Soundcore Flare 2 feels really well-built and features an IPX7 waterproof rating. On the back of the speaker, you’ll find a Bluetooth button, bass boost button and a USB-C port which is covered is covered. The speaker is wrapped by a fabric-like mesh which gives the speaker a sleek yet rugged look. Unlike the original Flare, the Flare 2 now comes with two LED light rings at the top and bottom. The Soundcore Flare 2 has a cylindrical shape with flared bottom for better stability.

The Soundcore Flare 2 is IPX7 rated, has 360º sound, and an eye-catching light show – which retails for S$159.
#REVIEW ANKER SOUNDCORE FLARE PORTABLE#
And when it comes to portable Bluetooth speakers, the Soundcore Flare 2 is no slouch either. Anker is probably most known for their reliable and high quality power banks, but their audio sub-brand Soundcore has also been dishing out great products such as the Liberty 2 Pro.
