Anker Soundcore Flare Portable Bluetooth 360° Speaker

Anker Soundcore Flare bluetooth speaker comes in the usual Anker's blue and white paper packaging but with a really nice image detailing whats inside, with the speaker itself dropped in water motion.

Opening the packaging, there is a nicely wrapped Soundcore Flare in it along with cable for charing and a manual. I really like the cylinder shape it gives a nice round sound to any direction while its still easy to hold with one hand. There are control buttons on top, compared to my older Soundcore speakers this has a light control button and a bass up button. What sets the Flare aside from others is the bottom bit, it has a ring of lights built in. on the backside of the speaker, there are two indicators for bluetooth connection and power, below them, there is a micro usb charging port and an AUX in port.

After turning it on and paired with my phone, I can instantly play music through it, the sound is great! and the bass is unbelievable for a speaker this size, especially after pressed the bass-up button! The treble is good too, very clear to hear voices and lyrics. I use this to pair with my Amazon Echo Dot, it is a good expansion for it, as the Dot's builtin speaker is really small and weak. I could easily ask the Dot to play any music and this thing illuminates up! The base ring is great it beats with the rhythm.

There is another nice surprise: App support. For both iOS and Android devices you can download the Soundcore app, after bluetooth connection, it is possible to change the light pattern, update firmware and etc, this is the first Soundcore speaker supports this, I really do hope to see more speaker supported, or even the older versions supported :)

I gave this speaker 5 out of 5 stars! I would recommend to any one needs a indoor/outdoor speaker, or a companion to Amazon Echo Dot. You can easily get it from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BHP4W36

Anker PowerLine III Lightning Cable review

Anker PowerLine III Lightning Cable is the latest cable from Anker, it charges my iPhone X and super strong and easy to clean.  It is super simple to use, just like the stock cable plug and play, you can plug on a wall socket, computer or a powerbank.  This new version of the cable is super strong and can take 25k bends and it has a textured skin which means it will get more grip when you plugin and out. the material is a new one with super easy clean property i tried with a normal wet wipe some dirt is gone from the cable.

Anker USB C Charger, 18W PIQ 3.0 Fast Charger Adapter, PowerPort III Nano USB C Wall Charger

The Anker new 18W USB-C charger comes in traditional Anker blue and white packaging: Inside there is the charger and documents including manual and the "Happy Card". Comparing to my iPad Air charger and also my iPhone charger, it is clearly a winner, the iPad charger is 12W and iPhone is merely 5w, but similar sized Anker one is 18w.  Plugged into the UK socket, it leaves a very small footprint and doesn't affect anything else, comparing to my MacBook Pro's charger the Anker one is like a baby :) Then I tested charging various devices: Anker PowerCore Essential 20000 PD: Xiaomi Mi 8: Nintendo Switch: and my trusted iPhone 7 Plus (no fast charging but good to see backward compatibility): Conclusion : The new Anker 18W USB-C charger is clearly the winner, it is the first charger build into a UK plug shaped body, very compact in size, thanks to the GaN technology it provides a whooping 18W charging for the size.

Roav by Anker, Bluetooth Receiver

Roav has just released another bluetooth receiver, this time a simple and easy to use device which allows you to have hands free and music in car or even at home. The Roav bluetooth receiver comes in the orange and white paper packaging with Roav's colour scheme. Inside the package there is the round disc receiver itself along with the usb and aux cable. The nice touch is the usb and aux cable is bundled together, and this is really what this receiver needs a single cable with two connections! I tried using it at home, connected to my home cinema system, I could play music loud with my phone in the pocket and answer any calls. Both the voice and music are clear and loud, the microphone is great too, the other side hear me very well, I could use this for a conference call when needed. One small suggestion would be turn the outer ring into a volume control turning wheel much like the old iPod, this is just for fun not a necessity. I highly recommend this, with a 5 stars full
