The Anker Flare 2 is fair for music. It offers a balanced sound out of the box, especially in the mids, where voices and lead instruments are reproduced. As a result, it's suitable for listening to lots of different genres. With its 360-degree design, it has an excellent soundstage, too, so your audio content will sound consistent from every angle. You can also use its graphic EQ and presets to customize its sound or hit the BassUp button on the back of the speaker. That said, given its small size, this device can't bring much rumble in the low-bass, even with BassUp enabled, and it doesn't get as loud as other models on the market.
