Our Verdict

Anker Soundcore Flare 2

Anker Soundcore Motion 300

The Anker Soundcore Flare 2 and the Anker Soundcore Motion 300 are both solid wallet-friendly options from the manufacturer. The Flare 2 boasts a 360-degree design with customizable RGB lights. Meanwhile, the Motion 300 is designed for on-the-go listening with a detachable strap. The Motion supports multi-device pairing, unlike the Flare 2, and it has a longer-lasting battery life. Plus, it gets louder. However, its low-frequency extension isn't as impressive as the Flare 2, so you feel less punch in the mix.
