When the Anker Soundcore Flare Mini was first released for Prime Day 2018, it had a special introductory price of $40. We haven't seen it deviate much from its $50 MSRP since then, but today it has fallen down to $29.99, which is one of the best prices in its history. Shipping is free as well, and unlike previous deals we've seen, this one doesn't require a Prime membership. Most speakers from Anker have great reviews and this model is no exception.
This itty-bitty speaker might be compact, but don't let its size fool you. It features 360-degree sound from back-to-back 5W drivers for great sound in every direction, and the built-in BassUp technology delivers more bass for your buck. Another neat feature is the ring of LEDs that phase, pulse, and glow with your music. There are eight lights and five lightning modes for custom lighting that's sure to elicit a few "ooooohs" out of the crowd.
The Flare Mini is IPX7 waterproof so you can even toss it in the pool and it'll be okay. Take it tubing or along to a festival and it'll be able to withstand splashes and rain with ease. The battery lasts for up to 12 hours at a time from a single charge. These speakers can also be paired together via a single Bluetooth device for stereo sound, and considering today's discount, picking up two of them should be an easy choice if that's something you're interested in.
