Anker Soundcore Flare+: Great sound at your fingertips

At first look, the Anker Soundcore Flare+ might look like one of these devices that are better off occupying the shelf space in our drawing or living rooms. Make no mistake, this portable and waterproof speaker is one sturdy piece of equipment that can withstand rough usage and be your ideal outdoor companion, for small office parties and family gatherings.

Priced at Rs 9,499, the Soundcore Flare+ has IPX7 water-resistance which means you can submerge it underwater without hesitation. The top is rubberised and has the volume controls and two other buttons which control the LED lights and a feature called Bass Up. Like many other speakers in this segment, the cylindrical tower shaped body is covered with fabric that provides a good grip and helps maintain the clean appearance of the speaker for a long time. There is also an addition of a strap which comes in handy as the speaker has some weight to it and the form factor isn’t always the easiest to hold.
