Great portable waterproof, but lack stereo pairing

I bought two of these on amazon to replace my aging/failing Boom3 and Boom2. Sound was great. Lights on top that dance to music were cool, and while its easy to pair multiple speakers in "party mode", the flare 2 do NOT pair in stereo (a feature called True Wireless Stereo or TWS). I contacted Soundcore support and they let me know the similar models that DO support TWS are: Soundcore Flare+, Soundcore Flare Mini. In summary - if you want a great value for money waterproof bluetooth speaker - and don't care about pairing two speakers for stereo sound. buy this. If you do care about stereo - look at the other options.

Pros

  • Cool Light Rings that change with music
  • Waterproof
  • High Build Quality
  • USB-C power
  • Decent app to control speaker

Cons

  • No True Wireless Stereo (TW)
  • App only lets you see one speaker at a time
