I apologize for the length of the review but I think it is important to give people considering purchasing the Flare8 Pro as much info on this bumpboxx as possible. OK, to be honest I was a skeptic of bumpboxx. I don't know anyone who owns a bumpboxx or even know someone who knows someone who owns one. Then I decided to look on YouTube for reviews
...Read MoreRead more about I apologize for the length of the for the Flare8 Pro. There were 2. . . . one comparing the Flare8 to the Flare8 Pro and a general review. That worried me. If the Flare8 Pro is so great, why aren't people singing its praises on YouTube? Not sure why there isn't more YouTube reviews but maybe I will do one! But from the two videos I watched, there was one common theme, these are LOUD. . . but is the sound quality good? My current Bluetooth speaker is the UE Hyperboom and that is what I would be comparing the Flare8 Pro to. After some back and forth, I decided to make the purchase but I was not confident on this purchase at all. I received the Flare8 Pro in about a week and the box was HUGE. This is a beast but surprisingly not that heavy so it is easy to take to the beach, to BBQs and parties. Setup was simple, connected it with my phone (Android) and started testing it out. Played songs from Google Music and SiriusXM. All different kinds of music; rock, rap, hiphop, pop (sorry no country), I had to tweak the EQ, treble and bass settings but when I got the settings I wanted. . . . WOW, I was impressed! It is loud, that I knew but the highs are great and the bass is tight and awesome; the sound quality is OUTSTANDING! So next I compared it to my Hyperboom and after some back and forth, the Flare8 Pro won hands down; this will be my new primary Bluetooth speaker! So sound quality is not an issue at all. As for build quality, it is amazing. Solid construction, buttons are all placed on the side (or you can use the remote) so easy to change settings (like the LED lights) quickly. LED lights are a nice touch and makes the bumpboxx stand out. In addition, you get TWO mics. . . . yes, 2 of them. And they are high quality and perfect for making announcements, for karaoke, or just to get your voice out there. So would I recommend the Flare8 Pro? ABSOLUTELY. No question. I just wish there were more in depth video reviews and I would have made the purchase sooner and would not have been so reluctant to pull the trigger and make the purchase.
