As a bonus, it will connect to all of the brand’s lens attachments as well. You’ll also find a gorgeous patent-pending lens mount, machined from a gunmetal-color aluminum that looks absolutely wonderful – adding a touch of industrial flavor while still maintaining a business- or casual-ready design flare. They features a premium full-grain leather treatment that will indeed develop a rich patina over time alongside MagSafe compatibility, a soft interior, and machined metal button covers. They were also my pick for the best leather model in all the lands in 2022.Īpple might have ditched the leather this year, but SANDMARC is back again with its gorgeous higher-end treatment for Apple’s new handsets.

Normal usage (with the lights) tends to net about 9-10 hours of play time.SANDMARC – the best leather iPhone 15 CasesĪs you’ll know from my hands-on review of last year’s (and the fact that my iPhone 14 Pro is wrapped in one right now), I love SANDMARC’s leather iPhone cases. Oddly, there is no “dust” rating (hence the “X”) on the Flare 2 whereas the Flare 1 had an IP67 (dust-tight) rating.īattery life is still rated up to 12 hours on the Flare 2, which is the same as the Flare 1.

Now, the LED lights are a lot more noticeable on the Flare 2. Probably the main difference you will notice on the new Flare 2 is the addition of an light ring on the top of the speaker, which the LED-lighting nerd that I am really enjoys! The light ring on the Flare 1 was located on the bottom and was sort-of hidden, especially if you set the speaker on a dark surface.

It’s not quite as bass-heavy as the Sony SRS-XB32 speaker, but it will likely satisfy most listeners. Bass PerformanceĪs noted earlier, the bass on the Flare 2 is even better than it was on the Flare 1. If you need to fill a large room or an outdoor party, you’ll likely want to look at pairing multiple Flare 2 speakers together, or check out one of Soundcore’s larger offerings such as the Soundcore Trance. Highs still become distorted at high volumes (when you reach about 80-85%), but the speaker still gets loud enough to fill a medium-sized room before hitting that point. In addition, the sound is noticeably louder on the Flare 2:

Not only do you get crisp highs and full mids, but bass is also enhanced more on the Flare 2 compared to its predecessor. The sound on Soundcore Flare 2 is impressive, much like the Flare 1 model.
