#Soundcore flare 2 pairing together drivers
Two 10-watt drivers (with passive radiators) and a listed frequency response of 50Hz to 20kHz might not sound overly impressive, spec-wise, but the Flare 2 can really belt it out.

Whether you’re jamming with one speaker or multiples, audio performance is impressive. You’ll need to follow the instructions in the Soundcore mobile app precisely to get this done the included quick start guide is completely useless. I tested a pair of Flare 2 speakers and there’s no question that Part圜ast is the coolest feature, though configuring it involves an unintuitive process of pairing one speaker to your phone, then holding down the Bluetooth pairing button on each speaker in a certain sequence. The six included LED effects are fun, but largely variations on a theme. They don’t operate as a mesh, which likely limits how many you will realistically deploy. The sub-speakers also all need to be within Bluetooth range of the master speaker.

You can sync up to 100(!) sub-speakers to a master Flare 2-but note that they all play the same channel you can’t set two speakers to separately handle left/right channel duty. Undoubtedly the biggest new feature is the ability to sync up multiple Flare 2 speakers to play in unison. Lighting at the top and bottom of the Soundcore Flare 2 brings the party (on a small scale).

The Flare 2 also has two LED light rings instead of just one-one on the top and one on the bottom-which you can set to pulse, fade, and change hues in tune with your music. The Flare’s 12 watts of output has been bumped up to 20 watts total, a significant boost that makes an impact. This review is part of TechHive’s coverage of the best Bluetooth speakers, where you’ll find reviews of competing products, plus a buyer’s guide to the features you should consider when shopping.īut like any good sequel, the Flare 2 has been upgraded where it counts.
