The mids are clear and bright, and the highs are anything but shrill. Thanks to the Bass-Up technology built-in, the lows are vibrant – you can feel them at volume, and it isn’t a muddy thumping like the low-cost cousins. This is where the Flare Mini really shines. When the music (or podcast or Gregorian chants) hits your earspace, it has to sound good as well. Getting the sound there is only half the battle, though. Nice touch, and one that guarantees you’ll hear everything no matter where you are. This is thanks to twin speaker arrays that cover 180 degrees each and pump out 5 watts of sound per array, the music pours out in every direction. No matter where I was in the space, the sound followed me as if someone was pointing the speaker in my direction as I moved. The claim to 360 degree sound is accurate – I placed the speaker in the middle of our large open floor plan, cranked up the volume and wandered around. The first question to ask in a crowded market like this is “how does it sound?” In a word, spectacular. Only slightly bigger than your average soda can and weighs about the same, too. We’ll take on these claims, but first a comparison in size: And it says it has a light show that keeps time with the music. Soundcore says that it is IPX7-rated so you could drop it in your pool and not have to run out and buy a new speaker. It claims to have a full 360 degree sound so that you can place it anywhere and still hear as if you were standing in front of a traditional speaker. The Flare Mini is an attractive and attractively small Bluetooth speaker.
